Friday is a finished set. Netflix puts up all eight episodes of Dead-End Job, and Lee Jae-wook is the one clocking in.
If Doctor X or 100 Days of Deception already has your weekend, both shows have another pair. Final Table is back on Prime with episodes 3 and 4 if you started the kitchen last Saturday.
Lee, of Alchemy of Souls and Dear Hongrang, plays Byeon Hyeok-jun, a man buried in debt who answers a flyer for part-time work that pays fifty times the minimum hourly wage. The agency is Spider Staffing Agency. The first stop looks like a convenience store. The rule is simple: do not talk about the job.
Go Min-si, of Sweet Home, plays Yeon-joo, an accident investigator who keeps digging into the agency. Kim Min-ha, of Pachinko, plays Hyeok-jun's sister Ji-yoon. Lee Hee-joon is Mr. S, the face who sells the gigs. Kim Da-min, who wrote A Killer Paradox, directs. Han Jun-hee, of D.P., created the series. Netflix rates it TV-MA. The eight episodes run about 33 to 44 minutes each, roughly five hours total, so you can finish before Monday or split the shifts across the weekend.
Doctor X: Mafia in White is still climbing. Episode 6 averaged 19.5% nationwide on Nielsen Korea, with a peak of 21.3%. Episode 7 is the Friday one, so it should already be on Netflix. Episode 8 follows Saturday's broadcast, 9:50 p.m. there, morning here. Kim Ji-won plays Gye Su-jeong, the surgeon they brought in from outside. The run is 12 episodes, through November 14.
100 Days of Deception set a series high last Sunday. Episode 6 did 9.5% nationwide and 9.9% in the Seoul metro. Episodes 7 and 8 are Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. in Korea, which is morning in the US. Netflix has been adding them as they air. The season is 16 episodes and ends November 29.
Final Table opened softer than those two and rose to 2.4% for episode 2. Ahn Hyo-seop's chef and Hong Hwa-yeon's restaurant manager are in the contest now. Episodes 3 and 4 land Saturday and Sunday on Prime Video outside Korea. Save that pair if you never opened the first two.
If you would rather leave the house, Jeon Do-yeon is still in a short theater window with Possible Love before Netflix on November 6.
Dead-End Job is the open weekend if you want one story with an ending. The hospital and the spy job get the new pairs if those are already your Saturday habit. The October Netflix guide has the rest of the month.
