Netflix has confirmed the production of the new series 'Sweet Part-Time Job' and presented the casting lineup of Lee Jae-wook, Go Min-si, Kim Min-ha, and Lee Hee-joon.
'Sweet Part-Time Job' is a mysterious horror fantasy series where young 'Hyuk-jun' is thrust into a hellish labor scene, facing various unknown fears, set against the backdrop of a bizarre employment agency that introduces only 'sweet part-time jobs' starting at a pay rate 50 times the normal minimum wage. Lee Jae-wook, who has built an impressive filmography with his unique charm across every work such as 'Alchemy of Souls,' 'Search: WWW,' and 'Find Me a Day,' will take on the role of 'Hyuk-jun,' who jumps into a high-paying part-time job to repay his debts.
'Hyuk-jun' sees an ad from the mysterious employment agency 'Spider Employment' for a part-time job at 50 times the normal pay but witnesses bizarre phenomena that he never expected, leading him into confusion. As 'Hyuk-jun' navigates the mysterious incidents occurring at the hellish part-time job, he is expected to be vividly portrayed through Lee Jae-wook's realistic acting.
The casting of Go Min-si, who has showcased a wide acting spectrum in Netflix series 'Nobody in the Woods,' 'Sweet Home,' the film 'Smuggling,' 'The Witch,' and the drama 'Youth of May,' adds to the anticipation. Go Min-si will play 'Yeon-joo,' an accident investigator of a labor disaster protection agency who actively delves into the truths behind the mysterious happenings at 'Spider Employment.' Curiosity is growing about how Go Min-si will depict the character 'Yeon-joo,' who manages to embody any character with her unique personality and style.
'Hyuk-jun's younger sister 'Ji-yoon' is played by Kim Min-ha, who made a literal meteoric rise to fame with her first leading role in the drama 'Pachinko' and has been building a solid filmography with works such as 'Light Shop' and 'Way Back Love.' 'Ji-yoon,' who has the motto 'poverty is scarier than ghosts,' has a refreshing personality like 'cider.' She constantly bickers with her brother 'Hyuk-jun,' who is burdened with debt and has no future, but she will also show a human side as she helps him in unexpected ways after he starts the part-time job, presenting a multifaceted character.
The role of 'Spider Boss,' who operates the mysterious employment agency 'Spider Employment,' will be played by Lee Hee-joon, who has left a strong impression with every project he participates in, such as Netflix series 'Karma,' 'Murder Dilemma,' Netflix film 'The Outlaws,' and others. 'Spider Boss' is a suspicious character who keeps suggesting high-paying part-time jobs to 'Hyuk-jun' without even knowing who initiated the request. Attention is focused on the mystery of 'Spider Boss', which will be expressed through Lee Hee-joon's intense and detailed acting.
'Sweet Part-Time Job,' directed by Kim Da-min, who wrote the script for the Netflix series 'Murder Dilemma' and gained attention at various film festivals with the film 'Makgeolli,' is expected to give rise to a fresh new mystery horror. The script, completed through the collaboration of writer Kim Min-seon of the film 'Seoul Ghost Story' and Shin Ji of the film 'Concrete Utopia,' is intended to immerse audiences and draw them into the scene of 'Sweet Part-Time Job' immediately. Additionally, Han Joon-hee, who is widely recognized for both popularity and artistry as the writer and director of Netflix series 'D.P.' and the film 'Chinatown,' will participate as the overall planner to present a horror new world like never seen before to viewers worldwide.
