It is an 8-episode series released on Netflix on October 29, 2026, and can be watched with a subscription. Shortcake produced it, and three directors, Kim Da-min, Han Jun-hee and Kyung Min-sun, took part in directing it. Lee Jae-wook, Ko Min-si, Kim Min-ha and Lee Hee-jun star, and the viewing rating is restricted to viewers 19 and older. With a single season of 8 episodes, you can follow how the same premise carries on across the episodes in a relatively short run.
Lee Jae-wook also appeared in 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub', and Lee Hee-jun in 'Handsome Guys'. Watching those two works together lets you compare what kind of characters the same actors play in different stories, which helps in reading the cast combination of this series. Since four actors come together in one work, you can also see how the relationships between characters change the level of danger in the story.
What to watch for
- 01
It is worth watching how the condition of an hourly wage at least 50 times higher and the rule that pay rises only if he returns from work alive build tension.
- 02
As an 8-episode series with three directors taking part, you can check how the texture of the direction carries on from episode to episode.
- 03
Watching it alongside Lee Jae-wook's 'Tazza: Song of Beelzebub' and Lee Hee-jun's 'Handsome Guys' adds the fun of comparing each actor's filmography.
This is a good fit for viewers looking for a Korean series with a survival-at-stake premise built on debt and work, and who can handle an age-19-and-older rating.
