Kong Hyo Jin Returns to MBC as Sniper‑Mom in 'A Bona Fide Killer'

MBC is pitching the July 31 premiere as a female dark‑hero action drama that contrasts rooftop sniper set pieces with an ordinary family life to show the lead's double life.

Overview

  • A newly released MBC teaser frames the show around a literal double life by cutting between rooftop one‑shot sniper scenes and quiet domestic moments at home.
  • Kong Hyo Jin said she read the original webtoon and chose the role because the story foregrounds the character’s everyday married life rather than just her cases.
  • The series centers on Yu Bo Na, an office manager who returns from a three‑year maternal leave and secretly operates as the legendary 'Kingfisher,' a one‑shot, one‑kill vigilante who targets criminals who escaped justice.
  • The cast includes Cha Mi Kyung and Jung Jun Won alongside Kong, and the project marks Kong’s first drama with MBC in 15 years.
  • MBC has scheduled the premiere for July 31 at 9:50 p.m. KST and is marketing the show to viewers who want a blend of action thrills and character‑driven domestic drama.
