A Bona Fide Killer: The Story So Far
Gong Hyo Jin plays Yu Bo Na, an ordinary sales manager at Durumi Electronics by day and the legendary sniper “Kingfisher” by night. Standing beside her is Sung Dong Il as Kim Bong Pal, her team leader who’s secretly a master at making accidents look like natural deaths. Employees affectionately nickname him “Bong Fool” for his easygoing charm, but don’t be fooled — he’s fiercely loyal and ready to sacrifice his own reputation to shield his team.
The new stills show two sides of Bong Pal: a warm, approachable boss in the office, and a sharp, combat-ready operative once work begins. He’s described as a quiet pillar of support for Yu Bo Na as she steps back into the field.
