Actor Kong Hyojin returns from parental leave as a killer, opening the curtain on a full-fledged double life.
The MBC new Fri-Sat drama A Bona fide Killer, set to premiere at 9:50 p.m. on the 31st (planned by Kwon Seong-chang / written by Kim Eun-hee / directed by Yoon Jong-ho, Kim Ji-hun / produced by Bon Factory, Baram Pictures, Studio Pim), is a drama that depicts the hard-fought work-life balance efforts of a working mom with the deadliest job in the world. It was based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same name, drawing high expectations from the production stage.
In stills released on the 30th, a day before the first broadcast, the colorful daily life of Yoo Bo-na (played by Kong Hyojin), who returned to work after three years of parental leave, grabs attention. She displays the charisma of a professional killer while doing intense training at the training ground, and she also shows the excitement of her first day back at work after returning as director general of sales team 3 at Durumi Electronics. In particular, her extraordinary knife skills while trimming cabbage at her mother-in-law's shop hint at the

The intertwined stories of supporting characters, which add to the drama's tension, are also viewing points. Amid public uproar over a sniper shooting incident in the heart of Seoul, Kwon Tae-seong (played by Jung Jun-won), who once served as the reporter dedicated to Kingfisher, freezes at the news that Kingfisher has returned. It raises questions about what connection he, who abruptly stopped reporting in the past, might have with Kingfisher.
Here, violent crimes unit ace Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang Yi) finds a bullet left at the scene and senses Kingfisher's return. Having experienced deep helplessness from past Kingfisher cases, he takes his pride personally and launches a relentless investigation, so the cat-and-mouse chase between the two is expected to heighten the drama's immersion.
The production team said, "Yoo Bo-na performs her main job as a killer while also fulfilling her roles as a wife and mother. Please pay attention to the double life that unfolds thrillingly from her first day back at work and the process of her striving to balance work and family in her own way." They added, "Kingfisher's return is an important point that sets the characters' hidden stories and relationships in motion again. Intense developments are expected, so we ask for your interest."
