MBC released two teaser trailers for its upcoming live-action series 'A Bona Fide Killer,' based on the webtoon. The series stars Hyo-jin Gong as Bona Yoo, a professional assassin balancing deadly missions with family life. It premieres on July 31. The teasers contrast her ruthless work with struggles at home, including her mother-in-law's criticism. The webtoon's fourth season begins July 27.
The two teasers for 'A Bona Fide Killer' show Hyo-jin Gong's Bona Yoo moving between two worlds. In one, she eliminates targets with cold precision. In the other, she endures nagging from her mother-in-law and manages her household. The series also introduces Joon-won Jung as her husband Taesung Kwon, a journalist who unknowingly investigates her vigilante killings, and Sang-yi Lee as a detective closing in on the killer. The original webtoon, created by GUM and YOON, has been serialized on Kakao since 2022 and will start its fourth season on July 27, four days before the live-action premiere.
