Extreme Job started shooting on March 29, 2018. In the movie, the five main characters are a drug detective team. The detectives are Ryu Seung Ryong, Lee Ha Nui, Jin Seon Gyu, Yeong Ho, and Jae Hun. One day, they trace a suspect, but their operation fails and the suspect is hit by a bus. Because of this, they are in danger of demotion. The next day, they prepare to arrest Lee Mu Bae, who is a drug offender. They have to do an undercover investigation, so they take over a chicken store. They have to do both the investigation and selling chicken. Selling chicken gets better and a TV news producer comes to them to interview them, but they reject the interview, so the producer puts out an ABP on them. Their business is now in danger. A few days later, Lee Mu Bae kidnaps detective Ryu Seung Ryong, so they go to Lee Mu Bae`s secret hideout to rescue Ryu Seung Ryong, but he has already overpowered the members of Lee Mu Bae`s group. At that time, Lee Mu Bae tries to escape with many drugs. They chase him and finally arrest him. A few days later, the five detectives are promoted and they continue police work and selling chicken.
