Cashero () is a 2025 South Korean television series directed by Lee Chang-min, written by Lee Jae-in and Jeon Chan-ho, and starring Lee Jun-ho, Kim Hye-jun, Kim Byung-chul, and Kim Hyang-gi. The series is based on the Kakao webtoon of the same name by Lee Hoon and No Hye-ok, together known as "Team Befar". It was released on Netflix on December 26, 2025.
Kang Sang-woong is a modest civil servant who gains superpowers tied to how much cash he carries. As he teams up with allies including his real life girlfriend, a lawyer whose powers activate when drinking, and a calorie-fueled psychic, they battle a mysterious group targeting heroes.
Director Lee Chang-min described Cashero as a distinct, reality-oriented take on the superhero genre. He noted that the series intentionally avoids the Marvel style, instead emphasizing the ironic premise of "an ordinary man who can use superpowers only to the extent of his financial means". Lee explained that he aimed to create a relatable, grounded work, shaping it to feel "connected yet deliberately distinct" in its approach.
On April 18, 2024, Netflix confirmed the production of the show and shared photos from the script reading. Cashero began filming in December 2023. It is based on the webtoon of the same name and produced by SLL and Drama House Studio. The series wrapped filming in late 2024.
On February 4, 2025, Netflix announced that Cashero was part of the "Next on Netflix 2025 Korea" content lineup and scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2025. On December 1, Netflix confirmed the release date to be on December 26.
The series received generally negative reviews from critics, who primarily focused on its narrative execution. Kate Sánchez of But Why Tho? gave the series a 3 out of 10 rating, stating that while the premise had potential, the show was "hindered by poor pacing" and failed to develop its characters beyond their initial archetypes. Similarly, Pierce Conran of the South China Morning Post awarded the series 1.5 out of 5 stars, describing it as a "messy superhero spectacle". Janani K. of India Today rated the production 2.5 out of 5 stars, noting that despite Lee Jun-ho's performance, the drama "struggled to cash in on its idea".
Cashero debuted at number two on Netflix's global non-English rankings in the last week of December, within just two days of release. In its second week, the series rose to the top spot. It continued its run in the Top 10, accumulating 4 weeks on the chart overall.
