The Apartment Job Episode 4 Release Date And Time Revealed As Ji Sung’s Netflix Thriller Heats Up

Fans of Korean drama are counting down the hours until the next chapter of ‘The Apartment Job’ drops, and the wait is almost over. The JTBC thriller starring Ji Sung has quickly become one of the buzziest weekend watches of the summer, and episode 4 promises to raise the stakes even further.

With its blend of dark comedy, gangster intrigue, and apartment politics, ‘The Apartment Job’ has carved out a unique niche in the crowded K-drama landscape. Here is everything to know about when the new episode lands and what to expect once it does.

‘The Apartment Job’ Episode 4 Release Date And Time

Episode 4 of ‘The Apartment Job’ is set to release on Sunday, July 19th, at approximately 3pm GMT, which translates to around 11am ET. In Korean local time, that corresponds to the show’s broadcast slot of 22:30 KST that same evening. The episode follows directly on the heels of episode 3, which aired the night before.

Both new episodes are following JTBC’s established weekend broadcast pattern, becoming available on Netflix the same day they air domestically. Subtitle turnaround on Netflix has reportedly been fast throughout the run, so international viewers should expect translated episodes to appear close to the original release window.

Each episode of the series runs roughly one hour and five minutes, a length that lines up with the typical pacing of JTBC weekend dramas. That runtime gives the show plenty of room to juggle its ensemble cast and layered subplots without feeling rushed.

Where to Watch ‘The Apartment Job’

Viewers in Korea can catch ‘The Apartment Job’ as it airs live on JTBC, while international audiences can stream it on Netflix worldwide. Netflix confirmed the series would make its debut on July 11, 2026, marking Ji Sung’s first major outing on the streaming platform.

The show is structured to release new episodes every Saturday and Sunday, with each installment running approximately 70 minutes. The full run is scheduled to span from July 11 through August 16, 2026, across a total of 12 episodes.

That means after episode 4 airs, there will still be eight more episodes left in the season, giving fans plenty of story yet to unfold. The twice-a-week release schedule has helped keep chatter about the show fresh throughout the week rather than confined to a single binge day.

‘The Apartment Job’ Cast and Plot Explained

‘The Apartment Job’ stars Ji Sung as Park Hae-gang, a former gangster who now serves as CEO of the HK Group, a firm that presents itself as a legitimate investment company while secretly running an illegal gambling network.

The official synopsis describes his journey as one where he runs for apartment residents’ association president to get his hands on the building’s hidden reserve fund, only to unintentionally uncover corruption within the complex, gradually becoming a local hero along the way.

Ha Yoon-kyung plays Kang Ha-ri, an aspiring lawyer working the free consultation counter at a law firm after failing the bar exam, while Moon So-ri portrays Jang Suk-jin, a busybody resident deeply involved in apartment affairs. Park Byung-eun rounds out the main cast as Lee Chung-won, representative of the True Value apartment construction company and a penthouse resident.

Supporting players include Kim Won-hae as a client known as the Lizard and Jung Jin-young as Park Yong-man. Behind the camera, the series is directed by Jo Yong-won, who previously won the Best Director award at the Seoul Drama Awards for his work on ‘Missing Child,’ with the script penned by Kim Yoon-young.

‘The Apartment Job’ Episode 4 Preview

The preview for the upcoming episodes shows Park Hae-gang formally introducing himself to Jang Suk-jin as the race for the True Value Building representative position intensifies, with three candidates now in contention. Questions swirl around whether Hae-gang actually has what it takes to deliver results for the residents he is courting.

To prove his capabilities, Hae-gang launches a dedicated delivery service for the apartment complex, one that promises identity verification for recipients along with direct package delivery to individual doors. It is a classic move from a character who built his reputation reading people and finding an angle, even if his motives remain murkier than his neighbors realize.

Not everyone is buying the pitch either, as Jang Suk-jin publicly questions the practicality and long-term sustainability of maintaining such a service. That tension follows episode 2’s cliffhanger, in which Hae-gang discovers the apartment’s reserve fund and sets his sights on stealing it, but first must find a way to win the election and join the association.

Given how quickly the scheme has escalated from petty hustle to full-blown political campaign, episode 4 looks poised to test just how far Hae-gang is willing to bend the rules to win over skeptics like Jang Suk-jin. With three candidates now fighting for the same seat, do you think Hae-gang’s delivery service gambit is enough to win the residents over, or is Jang Suk-jin right to be suspicious of his motives?
