Dead-End Job follows a debtor into a deadly staffing agency
Dead-End Job is an eight-episode South Korean Netflix series that premiered worldwide on October 30, 2026.
It follows Byeon Hyeok Jun, played by Lee Jae Wook, as he struggles with debt and loan sharks.
He takes a job with the Spider Staffing Agency, which offers extremely high daily pay but gives workers no guarantee they will survive their shifts.
Hyeok Jun discovers his father worked for the agency before vanishing 20 years ago, and he searches for answers with his sister and an investigator.
The jobs combine supernatural horror with dark comedy, and the agency’s head, Mr. S, is linked to the mystery.
The available details do not say whether Hyeok Jun’s father survives or what the finale reveals, so his fate is not established here.
