‘A Bona Fide Killer’ Episode 10 Release Date and Air Time

Fans of MBC’s popular assassin drama are gearing up for a tense weekend as ‘A Bona Fide Killer’ approaches its tenth episode, with Bo-na’s double life hanging in the balance. With a suspicious husband, a relentless detective, and a colleague who seems to know too much, this Saturday’s episode is set to be a pivotal moment for the season.

The series follows an ordinary working mother who secretly operates as a legendary vigilante sniper, captivating audiences since its late July premiere. Now that the show has reached its midpoint, episode 10 is expected to heighten the emotional and physical stakes that have been building for weeks.

The action drama airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 pm KST on MBC TV, with episodes 7 and 8 having premiered on August 21 and 22, 2026. Following this schedule, episodes 9 and 10 are set to premiere on August 28 and 29.

For international viewers looking for exact timing, previous episode releases provide a helpful reference. Episodes have typically dropped around 4pm GMT, or 12pm ET, on their scheduled days.

The series is confirmed to consist of 14 episodes, with the current season expected to conclude in mid-September. This places episode 10 in the latter half of the season, just as the show’s central mystery begins to close in on its lead.

Unlike some Korean dramas that are restricted to domestic broadcasts, ‘A Bona Fide Killer’ has a relatively accessible international presence. Outside South Korea, the series is available for streaming on Viki and Kocowa+ in supported regions, including the United States, Canada, and several other countries.

Some viewers have expressed frustration with subtitle speed. While Viki’s subtitle team occasionally lags behind on other titles, the platform generally offers more comprehensive translations than some competitors, whereas Kocowa tends to release episodes with less delay.

The runtime has also varied slightly as the season has progressed. Recent episodes have run for about one hour and five minutes, a change from the approximately seventy-two-minute episodes that debuted the series.

In terms of streaming popularity, the show has experienced fluctuations. Currently, ‘A Bona Fide Killer’ ranks at 974 on JustWatch’s Daily Streaming Charts in the United States, having dropped ten spots since the previous day.

For those catching up, the premise remains one of the more unique concepts in recent K-drama history. Yoo Bo-na is a housewife and mother who secretly operates as ‘Kingfisher,’ a vigilante sniper targeting criminals that the justice system has failed to punish, with her nickname reflecting her habit of observing from above before striking swiftly.

The tension in the latter half of the season revolves around the individuals closing in on her. Her investigative journalist husband Kwon Tae-seong is unknowingly getting closer to discovering Kingfisher’s true identity, while a determined detective named Lee Dong-jin relentlessly pursues the vigilante from another angle.

The pressure has intensified in the latest episodes. A colleague named Seul-gi seems determined to expose Bo-na’s hidden past while warning Tae-sung that he knows very little about his own wife, and their impending confrontation could further strain their marriage as long-buried secrets begin to surface.

Episode 7 also revealed how this complicated relationship began. The episode flashed back to 2018, showing Bo-na finding an injured Tae-sung after one of her assassinations, calling an ambulance, and leaving before help arrived, only for the two to meet again the next day at the hospital.

The show’s appeal lies in its strong pedigree both in front of and behind the camera. Written by Kim Eun-hee and directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Ji-hoon, it is based on the Kakao Webtoon of the same name created by Yoon and illustrated by Gum.

The lead cast has also garnered significant attention throughout the series. ‘A Bona Fide Killer’ stars Gong Hyo-jin, Jung Joon-won, Lee Sang-yi, and Sung Dong-il in its central roles.

Critical reception has been mixed yet engaged so far, with the show holding a 65 out of 100 rating on TMDb based on early reviews from verified users.

With Bo-na’s secret closer than ever to being revealed and two of the people closest to her circling the truth from different directions, episode 10 is poised to be a genuine turning point for ‘A Bona Fide Killer.’ Will Tae-sung finally piece together that his wife is Kingfisher, or is Bo-na still one step ahead of everyone pursuing her?
