What if the highest-paying student job of your life turned into your worst nightmare? Netflix has just released new images from « Dead-End Job » («Un Job Mortel» in French), his upcoming drama blending horror, mystery, and fantasy, starring Lee Jae-wook, Go Min-si, Kim Min-ha and Lee Hee-joon.
The series follows a young man deep in debt who takes on odd jobs that pay up to 50 times the usual hourly wage. It’s an offer that’s almost too good to be true… and one that hides unimaginable dangers. The new photos offer a glimpse into the terrifying situations the characters will face.
Lee Jae-wook takes a dream job that turns into a nightmare
In «Dead-End Job,» Lee Jae-wook plays Hyeok-jun, a young man overwhelmed by debt and desperately searching for a financial solution.
When he discovers a mysterious temp agency offering particularly lucrative assignments, he thinks he’s found the solution to his problems. The advertised pay is hard to turn down: up to 50 times the usual hourly rate.
But behind these exceptional job offers lie workplaces where the usual rules no longer seem to apply.
In the first images, Hyeok-jun is seen, among other things, in the middle of a milk delivery, frozen in an unsettling atmosphere. Other photos show him facing a tense situation in a convenience store, a suspicious clown, or even completely unfamiliar places.
Each new assignment seems to draw him a little deeper into a world where supernatural events and threats are on the rise. This raises the question: Will Hyeok-jun manage to survive all these jobs?
Go Min-si and Kim Min-ha Confront Unexplained Phenomena
Go Min-si plays Yeon-ju, a mysterious woman who appears before Hyeok-jun after he experiences events that are impossible to explain.
She seems particularly interested in the secrets surrounding these high-paying odd jobs and in the mysterious Spider Staffing Agency, the agency that offers them. But her true intentions remain hard to pin down.
In the new photos, Yeon-ju alternates between a radiant smile and a completely blank stare. This contrast deepens the questions surrounding her character: Is she trying to help Hyeok-jun, or is she pursuing a personal goal?
For her part, Kim Min-ha plays Ji-yun, Hyeok-jun's younger sister, who also works part-time.
Although she is usually so brave that she isn't even afraid of ghosts, Ji-yun seems to be facing a situation that goes beyond anything she could have imagined. The first scene shows her in the middle of a phone conversation, visibly distressed and covered in sweat.
In another photo, she clutches an insecticide can in her hand while scanning her surroundings, bathed in a particularly eerie red light.
These scenes suggest that the dangers associated with these mysterious jobs won't affect just her brother.
Lee Hee-joon plays the unsettling boss of Spider Staffing Agency
At the heart of this strange case is a person who may hold some of the answers.
Lee Hee-joon plays the owner of Spider Staffing Agency, the agency that recruits workers for these high-paying assignments. His behavior seems just as ambiguous as the jobs he offers.
In some scenes, he wears an enigmatic, almost menacing expression. In others, he flashes a warm smile to reassure Hyeok-jun, who is clearly worried. This dual nature raises many questions about his true role in the events.
What does he know about the dangers his employees face? Why are these assignments so well-paid? And what is the agency’s true purpose? These are just some of the mysteries that «Dead-End Job» promises to explore as the story unfolds.
«Dead-End Job» will be available on Netflix October 30, 2026.
