The Apartment Job (아파트) — The hottest new K-drama of 2026 is HERE, and it's already turning heads. Park Hae-gang (Ji Sung) was once the feared boss of the Oasis Gang — a man whose zero-percent uncollected debt record was the stuff of legend. Now, desperate to raise 10 billion won to save Yong-man, the father figure who shaped his life, he hatches the most unexpected scheme of his criminal career: run for president of a luxury apartment complex's residents' association and get his hands on the building's hidden maintenance fund. What he doesn't count on is how deep the corruption goes. The penthouse CEO Lee Chung-won (Park Byung-eun) has his own dirty hands in the same fund. An accidental ally, Kang Ha-ri (Ha Yoon-kyung), a part-time law firm worker with big dreams of becoming a real lawyer, gets dragged into Hae-gang's wildly unusual campaign. And then there's the unstoppable Jang Sook-jin (Moon So-ri) — the legendary busybody neighbor who knows every secret in every apartment and is absolutely not afraid to use that information. What started as a simple heist slowly transforms into something much bigger — an all-out war against corruption, with an accidental hero at the center of it all. Fans of Vincenzo, My Sweet Mobster, or The Good Bad Mother — this one was made for you. 🎭 Director: Jo Yong-won ✍️ Writer: Kim Yoon-young 📺 Episodes: 12 Episodes (~70 min each) 🗓️ Premiered: July 11, 2026 on JTBC
