First Impressions: K-Drama “The Ordinary Jackpot” Shows A Complex Picture Of Modern Life
Do people live to work or work to live? When the suffocating monotony of the everyday makes you forget about your purpose, ambitions, and dreams, what could be impactful enough to make it turn around? For some people, it could be finding love, but for others it could be an unexpected stroke of luck. New office drama “The Ordinary Jackpot” shows that even when the unthinkable happens and a one-in-a-million chance arrives, not everything is as easy as one imagines. Here are some first impressions on this interesting new K-drama!
Warning: spoilers from episodes 1-2 ahead.
Gong Eun Tae, played by Lee Jun Hyuk, is your typical office worker. He’s diligent, hardworking, and kind, which makes him seem like a pushover to some people, but that has also led him to steadily climb the corporate ladder until becoming a team leader at a big company. However, that hasn’t made that much of a difference in his life. Coming from an average family, he’s never dreamt of riches or fame but rather simply to have an ordinary life. However, his job has only given him a modest property and some minor body ailments. His routine, co-workers, and even his family are starting to feel like a prison.
Much of the first episode revolves around the complex nuances within the work-life balance. From the rules set by hierarchy, friendships, or alliances, everything looks like an intricate chess game. Even when Eun Tae is the leader of his team, there’s someone calling the shots for him. Furthermore, there’s always someone who could be above or beneath you. And once you are out of duty, there’s nothing but chores and bills. So, in a sense, he is indeed trapped in the machinery that represents capitalism, making him miserable and relatable.
But on one of those days that seems to be going from bad to worse, a winning lottery ticket lands in his hands, granting him nearly one million dollars. Suddenly, he has the opportunity to change things for himself. Admittedly, a small fortune can overturn his circumstances, but it can hardly transform who he is that quickly. And here, much like “A Christmas Carol,” three elemental characters make him change his mind about this situation.
First, another one of the winners, a sweet middle-aged woman, makes him realize that throughout his life, he’s never dared to really show his feelings, to speak his mind, or simply to get angry when he wants to. Afterwards, while looking into buying some property, he realizes that his net worth as an employee far surpasses that of the prize money he has. Lastly, a cafe owner guides him into considering that, despite winning the lottery, he doesn’t have to make a major decision right away. More than the money in his bank account, this new perspective is what really triggers the change in his mindset.
The first move he makes is showing that he can have a temper behind his unbreakable composure. When he’s had enough of his colleague Yang Joon Ho’s (Seo Hyun Woo) snarly attitudes, Eun Tae shows who the real leader is, letting his emotions flow like a strong yet calm river. That is probably what makes this moment feel all the more striking. Years of repressed anger are not always represented with a loud explosion but with a calmness that feels as sharp as a knife. And if there’s someone who can make such a charismatic performance, it is Lee Jun Hyuk. His velvety voice, followed by stone-cold eyes, can only make you shiver at how cool he is.
However, now that the river has burst its banks, Eun Tae has to deal with the consequences of his actions. Being the one in charge of his team, he has no option but to fix things with Yang Joon Ho. But what Eun Tae gets from their first-ever honest conversation stuns him beyond belief. Eun Tae sees his life as dull and empty until that point, unworthy of admiration. Nonetheless, despite Joon Ho’s animosity, he does respect and look up to Eun Tae as a competent person. So in truth, he wasn’t simply a hater but an insecure man, something that makes this character a little less two-dimensional in your eyes.
When Eun Tae gets the explanation for his team member’s attitude, he realizes how short-sighted he was. At that point, the show depicts how you can view yourself as meaningless, and yet you can never truly know how much impact your presence could be having on somebody else’s life. And so, our hero decides to take one more step into his transformation, distancing himself a little bit more from the lukewarm persona he’s been showing so far.
As the episodes are shorter compared to other shows, with a solid pace and such an intriguing plot, this show leaves you completely hooked, keeping you wondering what trouble this hardworking man will stir up in the future. How will this newly discovered alliance unfold? And who will turn into the true villain of this story, if there’s any? Don’t miss a second of this story in the upcoming episodes!

4 Reasons To Watch Antihero K-Drama “A Bona Fide Killer”
If you are a fan of action films, then you’re probably familiar with their most common main characters: heroes. But there are different types. Some are superheroes, those born with special abilities or powers who use them to protect what’s right. But there are also the antiheroes, those characters that don’t precisely stand on the good side of the law but are definitely helping somehow. A good example of this is Batman, perhaps. But in South Korea, the closest to this antihero could be Yu Bo Na (Kong Hyo Jin), a normal working mother and wife who hides a lethal secret that puts her life on the knife’s edge. Here are some reasons why you shouldn’t miss the new K-drama “A Bona Fide Killer”!
Warning: spoilers ahead.
1. The complex main female character
Kong Hyo Jin has long been a synonym of great acting in charismatic and complex characters. But this time, she takes on a new challenge by showing the duality of a woman like Yu Bo Na, a sweet and loving mother who hides a dark secret: she is the infamous sniper “Kingfisher,” a mercenary who is known for killing some of the worst criminals in the country. This alone presents a complicated issue. When the law fails to protect the people, she steps in to take matters into her own hands. In a sense, she is doing a favor to society, but that doesn’t change that she is committing a murder in cold blood.
Furthermore, her morals and ethics are constantly questioned throughout the show, albeit in a humorous way. As she plans to return to her work after a long break, she also has to deal with her terrible mother-in-law, do the laundry, or prepare dinner for her young child. Balancing being a working mother goes on a totally different level when you are dealing with the constant threat of being discovered and sent to jail, or even worse, getting killed. It is a new and completely different way in which a woman tries to have it all, both her career and a personal life.
2. The skilled and eclectic killer team
Luckily, Yu Bo Na is not alone. She has an elite team by her side that, in their own words, could even beat the Avengers. On the outside, they are a mediocre sales team, but beneath that cover, they are an unconventional, and at times a little silly, but lethal team that can take down anyone without leaving a trace behind. Led by Kim Bong Pal (Sung Dong Il), a former Special Forces member in the Army, he reflects the essence of this group. He might be a little rough around the edges, but he is all about justice on the inside. There’s also Ki Young Do (Mu Jin Seong), a genius hacker who seems to have a little crush on Yu Bo Na, which affects his attitude towards her.
But not everything centers around Bo Na. We also see a bit of the comical side of this bunch with Bong Tae Min (Kim Nam Hee), an eccentric weaponry expert; Go Young Gap (Heo Jae Ho), a forensic doctor; and Yang Ye Sol (Kim Ga Hee), their assistant and a bit of a bodyguard. Along the way, Oh Hyun Nam (Ha Yul Ri), a young woman with a past with Bo Na, joins as a poisoning expert, completing the team. Their dynamic and slow development, both as a group of killers and as just people, are among the most attractive elements of the show.
3. The variety of thrilling cases
Although the story revolves mainly around “Kingfisher,” the mysterious figure that constantly puzzles the cops, especially Detective Lee Dong Jin (Lee Sang Yi), it also follows different subplots. It starts with Oh Hyun Nam as a child, who suffered through domestic violence only to be saved by Bo Na. Afterwards, it jumps forward to the present day, and we see all types of criminals on their list, waiting to be dealt with. However, with every new case, there are new leads that could potentially uncover Yu Bo Na’s identity, putting at risk her life and all that she loves.
In that sense, Lee Dong Jin is also an ambiguous character. He represents the law, the “good guys,” so everyone should support his effort to catch “Kingfisher.” But in this story, he is the awkward antagonist. You can’t really root for him, and yet, since he is a truly nice cop, somehow you wish he would be on the same side as the killer team. Nonetheless, nobody is completely good or bad; everyone has their shades of gray, and that is also one of the exciting things to discover as the story unfolds.
4. The mystery between the main leads
Marriage isn’t scary when you have a husband like Kwon Tae Sung (Jung Jun Won), but it can be scary to find out the person you are married to isn’t who you thought they were. He is not only fully devoted to Yu Bo Na, but he is also a loving father and a capable reporter. From the first moments, it is clear why he is the perfect man for Bo Na. But the thing is, nobody is perfect. And soon enough, you realize that underneath his sweet smile, he could be hiding much more than his wife. Whether he ignores whatever Bo Na is hiding or chooses to ignore it intentionally, that is for us to discover.
On the other hand, with her skills and experience, Bo Na has all the confidence in the world to protect her family, keeping her secret life apart from them. But every step she takes seems to shake the house of cards that she has built over the years, and one single truth could potentially change everything forever. Could this sharp sniper get one last clean shot to save herself and her loved ones? This mystery alone will keep you glued to your screen throughout every episode of this K-drama.
