JTBC just dropped the first teaser for “The Apartment Job,” and it’s giving major heist-meets-comedy energy. The drama follows former gangster Hae Kang, played by Ji Sung, as he runs for apartment association president to get his hands on the building’s hidden money and teams up with residents to expose corruption.
The teaser opens hard: elevator doors slide open to reveal Park Hae Kang, set in a VIP-only illegal gambling den, described as a ruthless guy when it comes to making money and collecting money, the former Oasis gang boss known for a 0 percent uncollected debt record.
Then the comedy kicks in. “Gecko,” played by Kim Won Hae, shouts that there’s a lot of blind money in the apartment, and the crew discovers long-term repair reserve funds on a maintenance fee bill, asking if there’s 10 billion won (around $6.6 million) sitting in the building. Naturally, Hae Kang declares they’re taking it over starting now, and joined by Kang Ha Ri (played by Ha Yun Kyung) and her team, he enters the residents’ association election — even dancing in campaign clothes to win voters over.
By the end, Park Hae Kang salutes and promises to collect the maintenance reserve fund within three months and leave. Simple plan. Nothing ever goes that smoothly though, right?
