Honey Jar Part-Time Project (2026)

VHS meets Squid Games (SOME SPOILERS!!)

The stuff of nightmares coming life. The VHS films are the worst of the worst of THE WORST things you could imagine given life via first person views. And I mean ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. They are short horror stories with another story as a whole being told in snippets between the endings. No use trying to make sense of them and wouldn't be able to anyways. It's just pure horror~
Most are familiar w/ Squid Games. That was a test of endurance, the longer you lasted increased the potential payouts~
Slam these together and get Dead End Job. ML is poor, debt ridden, and was about to give up on life. He sees an ad for 8hour temp jobs one day with insane payouts for completion. He learns the reason why on his first gig as these jobs entailed being beset with otherworldly supernatural monsters and situations as if Hell had opened up its gates. Minimum wage sets the standards but with a twist. His first job was x50. Next was 100, and so forth. The higher the multiplier, the more insane the job was. Thats the gist of it. Why is it happening? How? Who or what's behind it? Is there even a reason? I say no more~
8 eps. Avg length is 36 min but includes a full intro AND outro, it brings length down to 30 min. Yea. VERY short. Didn't like that at all. Cast is ok with most of the eps just having guest appearances per 'job'. If you like horror (I do love em. HUGE fan of the VHS anthologies), then this will be a palate cleanse over the gluttony of rom com and office romances currently flooding Kdramas because each job was unique, f'd up, and random. It's the type of drama that lets writers put together ANY combinations of f'd up crazy evil w/e and bring it to life on the screen. You'll know right away after the first EP if you'll watch or drop because it's not for everyone.

There's really nothing in this drama

A Big disappointment. Each episode fails to create any excitement of curiosity about what comes next, the horror is there, the mystery is there, the supernatural elements are there but all these were nothing but just laying on the words. The visual effects, especially the green screen work fell unconvincing and take away from overall experience. Even star cast like Lee Jae wook, Go Min Si, Kim Min Ha seem rather ordinary acting here. Their performance lack the impact needed to keep audiance invested. Honestly except Ep 02 there's no gripping moments, no strong emotional aspect and nothing that makes you genuinely look forward to the next episode. It feels like a struggle to sit through.

Also Netflix needs to rethink its script selection from time to time. It's high time them to start prioritising Good writing over flashy productions.
