Ji Sung's first Netflix series is a heist comedy about stealing your apartment's reserve fund, and it leads today's two-title drop

Two titles landed on Netflix US this Saturday: a new K-drama caper starring Ji Sung, plus a One Piece anime special. Bob Marley: One Love leaves tomorrow.

The pick of the day: The Apartment Job

The Apartment Job arrives on Netflix today, a 12-episode JTBC weekend drama and the first Netflix series for Ji Sung, the veteran star of The Devil Judge and Connection. He plays Park Hae-gang, a former gang boss who runs for president of his apartment complex's residents' association to get his hands on a hidden 10-billion-won reserve fund, only to start pulling at the corruption underneath and reluctantly turning into the neighborhood's most unlikely protector.

• It is a caper comedy, not another grim crime thriller. Writer Kim Yoon-young (My Strange Hero) built the show around the idea of an "intermittent family," where apartment residents only act like a family when they need each other, coming together in short bursts rather than as a constant unit. Ji Sung assembles a fake wife and child to sell the con, trading his gang's black suits for bright pink jackets to canvass for votes, and the early episodes draw their humor from parking disputes, delivery chaos, and nosy neighbors before the stakes climb.

• The cast is unusually strong for a weekend romp. Ha Yoon-kyung (Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Hospital Playlist) takes her first leading drama role as an aspiring lawyer who gets pulled into the scheme through an odd-job service. Moon So-ri, the acclaimed film actress, plays the building's busybody in what she has called her first major comedic role. Park Byung-eun rounds out the leads as a smooth-talking penthouse resident and construction company CEO with his own designs on the fund. The director is Jo Yong-won, who won Best Director at the Seoul Drama Awards for Missing Child.

• New episodes drop every Saturday and Sunday, about 70 minutes each, same-day after the JTBC broadcast in Korea. No critic reviews are out yet since the series premiered today, but the premise and the ensemble have it tracking as one of July's most-anticipated K-dramas in the Korean drama press.

Also new today

One Piece: Heroines is a standalone anime special that puts Nami front and center in a fashion-show story adapted from Jun Esaka's One Piece Heroines light novel. After a shoddy pair of shoes hurts her feet, Nami heads back to the shop, where a designer named Lebno offers to remake them if she models in his runway show, only for Nami to discover the real repair work is being done quietly by a shoemaker named Miucha, voiced by Maaya Sakamoto. The special aired in Japan on July 5 and streamed on Crunchyroll the same day; today is its worldwide Netflix release, with AiNA THE END performing the theme song "Blue Shining Star." One Piece completists and fans of the franchise's women will get the most out of it; anyone waiting on the main Elbaph arc can skip without losing plot momentum.

New weekly episodes of ongoing shows also landed today: Detective Conan, the Indian reality competition Lock Upp, and the anime Daemons of the Shadow Realm and Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.

Leaving soon

Bob Marley: One Love leaves Netflix US tomorrow, July 12, making today your last full day to catch the 2024 biopic starring Kingsley Ben-Adir as the reggae legend. The window narrows fast after that: the Kevin Smith body-horror oddity Tusk departs July 14, Steven Soderbergh's psychological thriller Side Effects leaves July 15, and the entire Saw franchise (Saw through Saw VI, plus Jigsaw and Saw: The Final Chapter) drops off July 19. The full departure schedule is on Netflix's Tudum leaving page.
