A down-to-earth hero who becomes stronger with the money in his hand — and weaker the moment he spends it — is coming to Netflix this holiday season. “Cashero,” led by Lee Jun-ho and Kim Hye-jun, premieres on December 26, with a newly released teaser trailer and poster introducing a superhero who is as hilarious as he is relatable.
The series follows Sang-ung (Lee Jun-ho), a salaried worker forever juggling bills, deadlines, and an empty wallet. His life takes a wild turn when he suddenly gains a superpower tied directly to how much cash he’s holding. The rule is simple: the more money in his hand, the stronger he becomes. The downside? Every time he uses his power, his hard-earned cash literally vanishes.
In the teaser, Sang-ung tries to explain his bizarre gift to his fiancée Min-suk (Kim Hye-jun), joking about the strange equation of “my cash = my power.” But the joke quickly becomes reality as the video shows him catching bullets in midair and confronting criminals with strength he never imagined. His face says it all — part panic, part disbelief, and entirely relatable for anyone who has ever felt their money evaporate too fast.
Min-suk urges him not to use his ability, but Sang-ung keeps stumbling into situations where he has no choice but to help. Along the way, he crosses paths with other superpowered individuals: Byun Ho-in (Kim Byong-chul), Bbang-mi (Kim Hyang-gi), and the siblings Jonathan (Lee Chae-min) and Joanna (Kang Han-na), who actively track down people with special abilities. Their presence hints at chaotic alliances, rivalries, and a bigger story waiting to explode.
The teaser poster captures the comedy and chaos perfectly. Sang-ung grips a handful of cash as it disintegrates into dust, his expression hovering between worry and resignation — the face of a man who wants to save the day without destroying his finances.
An ordinary guy with extraordinary struggles, Sang-ung arrives just in time for the year-end binge-watch season. “Cashero” premieres December 26, only on Netflix.
