Yoo Bo-na looks like any working mother with a husband and a four-year-old daughter, but she is a contract killer who takes out violent criminals. On her first day back from three years of parental leave she is already lining up a target, and every day teeters between a lethal assignment and the daycare pickup. The series brings Gong Hyo-jin back to MBC after fifteen years, adapted by writer Kim Eun-hee from the webtoon of the same name, running fourteen episodes on Friday and Saturday from 31 July 2026. The premiere opened to a 7.4 percent nationwide rating per Nielsen Korea, backing up the anticipation.

The white hilltop church that gives Bo-na her firing position in episode 1 is Sanjeong-dong Cathedral in Mokpo, still an active pilgrimage site, and the Harbor Park Hotel on the Incheon waterfront is on the location list too. On screen they read as one city, but the real locations are scattered across Mokpo, Incheon, Seoul and Busan, so it is worth splitting the trip up from the start.

가톨릭목포성지 산정동성당 전남 목포시 산정동

The spot where Bo-na raises her muzzle in broad daylight on her first day back. The show calls it Jeonjak-dong cathedral, but the real building is the white church in Sanjeong-dong, Mokpo. It sits on a rise, so the roofline looks straight out over the town, and since a pilgrimage route runs through it you can walk the grounds as long as you avoid mass times.

하버파크호텔 인천 항동3가

하버파크호텔 인천 항동3가

A harbourfront hotel in Hang-dong, Incheon, listed among the show's filming locations. Its rooms look out toward the water and the docks, and the plaza in front of the lobby gives you the same harbour view that sits behind the drama's frames. The edit reads as one city with the Mokpo cathedral, but the two are far apart on opposite sides of the West Sea coast.

굿닭 서울 은평구 불광동

The real shop behind Taesung Chicken, the fried chicken joint run by little Yul's grandmother, who is also Bo-na's mother-in-law. It is an old-school chicken house on a back street in Bulgwang-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, and on the show Bo-na's sister-in-law works there too. The scenes where the family piles in happen in this cramped little room.

은화 서울 종로구 삼청동

Eunhwa, the Samcheong-dong flower cafe that appears as Ok-i's flower shop. Its owner is the one person Bo-na opens up to, and the real place is a three-storey flower cafe on a Samcheong-dong side street. The stretch of Samcheong-ro right beside it was used for filming too, so the two link up on foot.

느티나무설렁탕 서울 중구 신당동

Neutinamu Seolleongtang in Sindang-dong, the ox bone soup house used for the restaurant scenes. It is an old place tucked among the neighbourhood's homes, and the ivy covering its outer wall is invisible on screen because filming happened in winter. It suits a bowl of soup better than a photo stop.

더베이101 부산 해운대구 동백로 52

THE BAY 101 in Haeundae, used for the club and hotel scenes that Bo-na's reporter husband Kwon Tae-sung walks into while chasing a story. The whole Marine City high-rise wall sits across the water from here, so after dark you get exactly the reflected light the show used. The outdoor deck stays open late and runs straight into the Dongbaekseom walking path.
