Actors Lee Jae-wook, Go Min-si, Kim Min-ha, and Lee Hee-joon are joining forces in the Netflix series 'Perfect Job' (working title).
'Perfect Job' is a mystery horror fantasy series set against the backdrop of a bizarre temp agency that introduces only 'Perfect Jobs' starting at fifty times the minimum wage. It follows the young 'Hyuk-jun' as he is thrown into a labor hell, facing unknown horrors.
Lee Jae-wook, who has built a solid filmography with his unique charm in every role from 'Alchemy of Souls', 'Search: WWW', to 'Extraordinary You', takes on the role of 'Hyuk-jun', who dives into a high-paying temp job to pay off his debts.
'Hyuk-jun' sees an ad from the mysterious temp agency 'Spider Manpower' and steps into a temp job paying fifty times the minimum wage, only to encounter bizarre phenomena and become engulfed in chaos. 'Hyuk-jun', navigating through the mysterious events in this hellish job site in various ways, will be realistically portrayed through Lee Jae-wook's grounded acting.
The casting of Go Min-si, who has shown a wide acting spectrum in Netflix series 'The Frog', 'Sweet Home', movies 'Smugglers', 'The Witch', and drama 'Youth of May', further raises expectations.
Go Min-si plays 'Yeon-ju', a labor accident investigator who actively seeks to uncover the full story behind the mysterious events at 'Spider Manpower'. The character 'Yeon-ju', brought to life with Go Min-si's unique flair and color, sparks curiosity.
Kim Min-ha, who has built a solid filmography with her debut lead role in 'Pachinko', capturing global attention like a comet, followed by 'Light Shop', 'Way Back Love', takes on the role of 'Hyuk-jun's sister 'Ji-yun'.
Kim Min-ha's 'Ji-yun' is a refreshingly straightforward character who believes 'poverty is scarier than ghosts', showing a multi-faceted personality from bickering with her debt-ridden, futureless brother 'Hyuk-jun', to worrying about him looking uneasy after starting the temp job and helping him in unexpected ways.
The mysterious 'Spider Manpower' agency is run by 'Spider Boss', played by Lee Hee-joon, known for his significant presence in Netflix series 'Karma', 'A Killer Paradox', Netflix movie 'Badland Hunters', movies 'Handsome Guys', 'Bogota'. 'Spider Boss' is a suspicious character who keeps offering 'Hyuk-jun' irresistible high-paying temp jobs, the origins of which are unknown. Lee Hee-joon's intense and detailed acting will bring the mystery of 'Spider Boss' to life.
The direction of 'Perfect Job' is helmed by Kim Da-min, who wrote the script for the Netflix series 'A Killer Paradox' and gained attention at numerous film festivals with 'FAQ'. The script is a collaboration between writers Kyung Min-sun of 'Urban Myths', 'Tarot', and Lee Shin-ji of 'Concrete Utopia'.
With its fresh setting of a high-paying temp job shrouded in mystery, along with a reliable casting lineup and production team, 'Perfect Job' heightens anticipation and is available on Netflix.
