Gong Hyo-jin Trades Rom-Coms for a Gun in New MBC Drama 'A Bona fide Killer'

Actress Gong Hyo-jin is returning to MBC for the first time in 15 years, this time as a killer. She stars in the new drama "A Bona fide Killer", which drops its main poster ahead of its premiere.

The move comes as MBC rides a wave of action-drama success. So Ji-sub's "Agent Kim Reactivated" recently pulled in a 21.6% rating, and viewers are now watching to see whether Gong Hyo-jin can lock in the same kind of momentum with a gun in her hand.

The show follows a working mom with the deadliest job in the world as she fights to protect her work-life balance. Gong Hyo-jin plays Yoo Bo-na, a sales team manager at Durumi Electronics who moonlights as an assassin.

The newly released main poster leans into that split identity. Yoo aims her gun straight at the camera, her eyes locked on an unseen target. A crosshair logo sits at the tip of the barrel, framing her as a cold, precise professional.

The poster's tagline reinforces the concept in one line: "Sales Team 3, Yoo Bo-na. Starting the client meeting now." It hints at the second life hidden behind the ordinary office worker and sums up the show's core premise at a glance.

"A Bona fide Killer" premieres July 31 at 9:50 p.m. KST as MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama.
