Some superheroes lift trains, others lift spirits. But Netflix’s Cashero introduces a new kind of savior, one who checks his bank balance before jumping into battle. In a universe where moral strength and financial status collide, every punch is a purchase and every rescue is a transaction. It is capitalism’s favorite fairytale, where courage comes with a price tag, and the credit limit might just decide who lives to fight another day.

And as the cost of courage climbs higher, it takes a special kind of cast to make chaos look this charismatic and this broke

Lee Jun-ho leads Cashero as Kang Sang-ung, a humble civil worker whose powers depend entirely on his cash, a hero powered by paychecks, not passion. His strength shifts with his savings, echoing the quiet tragedy of adulthood where courage costs extra. Kim Hye-jun plays Kim Min-suk, his rational, budget-minded partner. Together with Kim Byong-chul’s liquor-boosted lawyer and Kim Hyang-gi’s pastry-fueled telekinetic, they form a chaotic yet relatable team of heroes running on emotion and economy alike.

But extraordinary powers rarely come cheap, and when the bill arrives, the story turns from quirky to quietly devastating.

Cashero follows Kang Sang-ung as he discovers that every heroic act drains his wallet faster than hope fills it. Each rescue becomes a receipt, each sacrifice a bill. As he joins forces with a lawyer powered by liquor and a telekinetic pastry prodigy, the battle against the Criminal Association turns into a satire of survival itself. This is not about good versus evil anymore; it is about stability versus bankruptcy, and the quiet heartbreak of being good when goodness costs.

And as this struggle unfolds, the only question left is when and where this price-tagged heroism will land on screens.

Landing on Netflix’s lineup of superhero tales in late 2025, Cashero comes from director Lee Chang-min and writers Lee Jane and Jeon Chan-ho, adapted from the hit Kakao Webtoon by team befar. With a tone that is sharp, witty, and self-aware, the series laughs while dissecting the price of courage. It does not glorify heroism; it audits it. Every triumph feels taxed, every defeat overdrafted, and the laughter leaves a sting that lingers long after.
