Development
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.[10]
