Actor Kong Hyojin announced her return to the small screen with a double life alternating between an ordinary working mom and a ruthless killer.
The MBC new Friday-Saturday drama A Bona fide Killer, scheduled to premiere at 9:50 p.m. on the 31st (planning by Kwon Seong-chang / screenplay by Kim Eun-hee / directed by Yoon Jong-ho, Kim Ji-hun / produced by Bon Factory, Baram Pictures, Studio Pim), released today (the 23rd) a third teaser video that captures the surprising charm of a bumbling office worker and the ruthless "client" handling team.
A Bona fide Killer is based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same name and is a drama that depicts the struggles of a working mom with the most dangerous and ruthless job in the world as she fights to maintain work-life balance. Hit-maker writer Kim Eun-hee penned the screenplay.
The released third teaser opens with the ordinary daily life of Yoo Bo-na (played by Kong Hyojin), who is returning to work after a long time. In response to a neighbor's question, "Isn't your daughter-in-law said to work at a big company?", mother-in-law Ok Seon-ja (played by Cha Mi Kyeong) replies flatly, "fan," a scene that shows the life of a working mom no different from any other office worker.
But the peaceful atmosphere lasts only a moment as the video instantly flips. With the heavy line, "Team 3 sales selects and eliminates criminals," faces of targets briefly flash by, revealing the true identity of the Trumi Electronics sales team 3.
Especially, above reporter Kwon Tae-seong's (played by Jung Jun-won) sharp question, "Isn't this a bit strange? Like a scenario deliberately written," the scene of the sales team 3's "client meeting" that sets out to punish criminals is intercut, delivering a tense thrill. Led by staged-accident specialist Kim Bong-pal (played by Seong Dong Il), genius hacker Ki Young-do (played by Moo Jin-seong), weapons specialist Bong Tae-min (played by Kim Nam-hee), and medical accident specialist Go Young-gap (played by Hur Jae-ho), each displays professional skills in their fields and proves solid teamwork.
In contrast, scenes of workshops and company life that follow show a reversed clumsy charm, provoking big laughs with painfully realistic moments fitting a bottom-ranked sales team, such as being shoved into a corner by elevator crowds.
Soon the mood sharply reverses again with the signal, "client meeting start." Yoo Bo-na, along with Kim Bong-pal and Yang Ye-sol (played by Kim Gahee), overwhelm the huge criminals who rush them with unbeaten bare-handed action and presence that dominate the eye. From a construction-site fall to a vehicle explosion, meticulously calculated staged-accident operations continue, and the conviction-filled line, "only to make them disappear from this world," leaves a strong impression.
At the end of the video, the full strength of sales team 3, led by Kong Hyojin holding a sniper rifle and joined by newcomer Oh Hyun-nam (played by Ha Yool-ri), amplified curiosity about the series.
