Wtf.....9 episodes... What's going on here? It was 12 episodes at first; how come it's 9 now?
Maybe they re-edited/re-cut episodes to make fewer of them, but longer. 12 45-minute episodes have the same amount of screentime as 9 1-hour ones. It could make sense in terms of the story, with more convinient cliffhangers and so on.
There aren't just other time slots this year. Netflix releases their original K-dramas every three weeks. It means we have (or technically Netflix has) only five slots left. and four of them have already been taken.
September 18 -- Scandal. October 9 -- Take Charge of My Heart. October 30. November 21 -- Blue Road (allegedly, it's not official yet, information appeared recently). December 11 -- Tantara (it has been unofficially known for months).
So, October 30 is the only option for Dead-End Jobs.
It's nice to see Jeon Do Yeon in a comedy, albeit in a comedy thriller. She was amazing in that one scene in Good News and basically stole the moment completely a year ago. I laughed so hard, I had to stop watching for a few minutes. The actress makes some great dramas (both in movies and on TV), but she is great in comedy, and this TV show is her to shine.
This is much later than I expected (January), considering filming ends in November. For example, Dash ends filming in February and it is set for release in early March. Or 100 Days of Lies: it's a period drama, but they haven't finished filming yet and are going to continue it during the release of early episodes. I guess this drama is going to be very CGI-heavy and will need a lot of work in post-production.

From my understanding Baek Gi-hyeon joins to Hanahoe and partakes in the coups in late 1979 and 1980. Whether his brother, Gi-tae, survives the finale remains to be seen. But I don't take my breath about it, to be honest, his chances are slim. Jang Gun-yeong works for some Special Investigation Unit whose benefactors are Hanahoe or its allies working together against KCIA, Gi-Tae and Cheon Seok Jung (Presidential Chief of Security). Or Hanahowe will become the rejoicing third after KCIA and benefactors of the Special Investigation Unit destroy each other.
still holiday period and thats a good time to binge
But it's not Netflix, it's Disney+ though. They usually release two episodes per week. You will have to wait until late January or even February to binge it.
It's just 18 users. In 6-10 hours MDL will eat and process hundreds of votes, and it will be higher. This is how MDL usually works. My bet for the final MDL rating would be between 7.7 and 8.0. Which is kinda low comparing some other shows, but higher than the current one.
After three episodes it looks good, occasionally great, sometimes mediocre and too long. Maybe they should have done 8 episodes, and it would be better. The best parts of this drama are Sul Kyung Gu and his chemistry with Ryu Jun Yeol and sometimes cinematography. I also like some deadpan jokes and recurring gags.
September 18 -- Scandal.
October 9 -- Take Charge of My Heart.
October 30.
November 21 -- Blue Road (allegedly, it's not official yet, information appeared recently).
December 11 -- Tantara (it has been unofficially known for months).
So, October 30 is the only option for Dead-End Jobs.
The final trailer.
IIRC the creator of the drama said there wouldn't be season 3 and suggested to watch 12.12: The Day, AKA Spring in Seoul (https://mydramalist.com/717141-spring-in-seoul).
Kim Jun Han and Kim Seo Hyung also joined the cast, but their roles and even the characters' names have yet to be revealed.
Teaser 2.
And here we go. Kim You Jung steals my heart. Again.
