A new Netflix series climbing the most-watched charts has been hailed as the ideal show to watch between Christmas and New Year.
We’ve officially reached that period of the year when time doesn’t exist, no one knows what day it is, and everyone’s on the hunt for something good to watch.
Of course, Netflix is brimming with TV series to watch, but picking the right one can be a challenge.

But the miniseries we're talking about has climbed the global streaming charts, having only just released on Boxing Day (December 26).
It's currently the fourth most-watched show on Netflix globally, below Stranger Things, Emily in Paris and Rowan Atkinson's Man Vs Baby.
Set in Seoul, South Korea, the superhero drama follows Kang Sang-woong (Lee Jun-ho), an ordinary civil servant whose biggest concerns are saving for a home and planning a stable future with his long-term girlfriend.

His quiet life is upended when he unexpectedly inherits superpowers - including superhuman strength and near-invulnerability - passed down from his father.
There is, however, a crucial catch: Sang-woong’s powers only work when he is carrying physical cash, and every time he uses them, that money is instantly spent. The stronger the feat, the higher the financial cost.
What begins as a bizarre inconvenience quickly becomes a moral dilemma, forcing Sang-woong to choose between protecting others and safeguarding his own financial future.
Sang-woong is drawn into a hidden world of other superhumans whose abilities come with equally unusual conditions.

Among them is Byeon Ho-in (Kim Byung-chul), a sharp-tongued lawyer whose powers are activated by alcohol, and Bang Eun-mi (Kim Hyang-gi), whose telekinetic abilities depend on her calorific intake.
Meanwhile, at home, Sang-woong’s relationship with accountant Kim Min-sook (Kim Hye-jun) is tested as his secret life begins to clash with real-world pressures.
The series in question is called Cashero, based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same name.

Rating it a 10/10, one IMDB user summed it up as a 'fresh concept with great performance by hero and villain'.
"What an awesome series to watch at the end of 2025. The role portrayed by Lee Chaemin - you deserve an award," they continued.
"I watched this series two times and I'm still watching."
A second agreed: "Acting and directing was phenomenal, with great character development too. Chemistry was perfection."
"I didn't even realize how much time had passed while binge watching it," a third said.

Somebody else who enjoyed the 'action-packed production' wrote: "10 stars and millions of thumbs up."
Cashero is streaming now on Netflix.
