01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Hyeok-jun is young, broke and hounded by debt, so when the Spider Staffing Agency offers him a part-time job that pays fifty times the usual hourly wage, he does not ask enough questions. He should have. Each assignment sends him into a stranger world than the last, where ordinary workplaces hide impossible phenomena and the job description is never the whole truth. What begins as a desperate attempt to pay his bills becomes a journey through corporate nightmare fuel, where survival means figuring out the rules of each bizarre job before it figures him out. Directed by Kim Da-min and Han Jun-hee, Dead-End Job blends mystery, horror, fantasy and dark comedy into eight tight episodes. Lee Jae-wook leads the cast with Go Min-si and Kim Min-ha, and the series premiered on Netflix on October 30, 2026, with all episodes released together. It is weird, funny and unsettling in equal measure.

The Oxfea take.

A part-time job that pays fifty times the normal wage. What could go wrong?

THE PAY IS GREAT. THE JOB ISN'T.

Why you'll get hooked

  • Lee Jae-wook plays Hyeok-jun, a young man drowning in debt who takes a suspiciously lucrative gig.
  • Go Min-si co-stars in a fantasy comedy-horror about bizarre jobs from the Spider Staffing Agency.
  • All eight episodes dropped at once on Netflix on October 30, 2026, just in time for Halloween.

Oxfea Score: 7.7/10 — Worth your weekend. A brilliantly strange premise — a part-time job that pays fifty times the normal wage — with two leads who sell the weirdness, though eight episodes of escalating oddity can feel uneven.
