The drama was intentional about it's tone and what it wanted to achieve. Some people are just reading too much into it. Some few episodes was needed to add more layer to some characters and the plot indeed. Nevertheless, it was one hell of an experience! I'd give it a 8/10 for the perfect balance of humor and horror alone.

Dead End Job is the drama you watch when you want to relax and have fun. It reminds me of those classic 1990s horror/dark comedy movies—not too deep, not too shallow either. Campy, warm, thrilling, and entertaining. Watch it as it is; don't read too much into it. You'll enjoy your time. And just like the show says: "It was a part-time job. A sweet gig at that."

I'd give this a solid 8.5 without taking anything back. The originality of the concept alone is damn impressive and the directing and acting was superb, the plot was good enough to keep one hooked and very relative as well that it can make one connect to these characters even with little screen time and little development. I understand the complaint about character depth especially for Mr S and Yeon-joo plus the plot/mystery not explained and unravelled completely. But it is obvious it was intentional as they are hoping for the drama to do well enough for a season 2, although I would have preferred a complete 1 season story.

Aside that, this show was so spot on for me and I enjoyed every moment. Obviously it's not an horror serie more like a creature/mystery serie. So don't go in expecting horror. And for people complaining it's boring, please I beg to differ, this show is anything but boring.

Is there any hint of a possible season 2?

I guess that's how urban legend story style normally is.

How well did they land the ending? Was all the mystery resolved?

Is it unusual that this has only one poster, which is the teaser poster? Or has this happened before with other Netflix original K-dramas?

Trailer?

The review of the first four episodes on twitter is so diverse lol. I like the fact it's not one sided. Each person has a different thing to say, and the part, aspect and episode of the show that intrigued them.

I'm really craving for non biased/constructive reviews from people who have seen the first four episodes so I can keep my expectation in check while waiting for the release.

From what I've heard and seen so far, all the main cast are active in the promotions except Go Min-Si

Possibly. Plus given how they made it 8 episodes, with not more than 35 - 40 minutes per episode, I believe they are confident in the story they want to tell and summing it all up within the set duration they have.

Lol. With this kind of set up where each episode deals on new things and the lead characters have their own different arcs, I can't help but wonder if they are going to have solid interaction with one another in the series.

Yeah!
Personally, I don't want to read the novel this drama is supposedly based on because of spoilers. But I read the reviews and they are mostly positive.

Han Jun-hee, Kim Da-min, Kyung Min-sun, Lee Shin-ji.
This has all the potential to not go wrong. Hoping it delivers.

The writer's signature (Writer Kyung Min-sun) is using supernatural/horror elements not as the central evil but as a lens to depict human morality, everyday momentary choices with its consequence layered with social commentary. And I like the fact that the co-writer is Lee Shin-ji; they match each other's energy. Hoping it turns out well.

The synopsis is the type you won't fully understand where it's aiming at until you watch the serie.

Exactly! Like I'm tired of kdrama depicting adult romance like highschool teenagers love story.

Yeah it's frustrating. For all the heavy emotional journey they have both been through, they deserve deep and solid intimate/romantic moments in between to convey their inward yearning/feeling for each other.

Is the director actually allergic to giving our main couple intimate scenes or even a proper kiss scene ? Like we are already 10 episodes in. Why aren't they making good use of this insane chemistry?😫
