The Premise: A Dream Job That Turns Into a Nightmare

Hyeok Jun is drowning in debt, so when a mysterious employment agency offers part-time jobs paying far above the usual rate, he can’t say no. The agency, called Spider Staffing, sends him to a series of workplaces where inexplicable phenomena begin to appear. What looks like a financial lifeline soon turns into a terrifying, hellish workplace, with horrors he could never have imagined.

Meet the Main Cast

Lee Jae Wook leads as Hyeok Jun, a young man desperate enough to take risks.

She approaches Hyeok Jun during her investigation and gradually unravels the mystery at the heart of the story.

Kim Min Ha plays Ji Yun, Hyeok Jun’s younger sister. The siblings clash constantly as they struggle with money problems, but she worries about him more than anyone. Lee Hee Joon plays the head of Spider Staffing Agency, the man who offers Hyeok Jun that irresistible deal. His mysterious identity and the agency’s secrets add another layer of intrigue.

Special Appearances Add to the Mystery

Choi Hyun Wook, Yoon Kyung Ho, Yoon Byung Hee and Cho Hyun Chul will make special appearances as people Hyeok Jun meets at his various part-time jobs. Their characters haven’t been revealed yet, but newly released stills offer a glimpse of how they’ll appear. Since each job seems to bring a new strange encounter, the cameo structure suggests an episodic, ever-surprising ride.

Why It’s Worth Watching?
