Park Shin-hye, Ko Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung, and Jo Han-gyeol have confirmed their appearance in tvN's new drama "Miss Undercover Boss" (working title). Attention is already focused on the extraordinary lineup.
Set to premiere in the first half of 2026, tvN's new drama "Miss Undercover Boss" (directed by Park Sun-ho / written by Moon Hyun-gyeong / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Celltrion Entertainment, Studio Dragon) is a retro office comedy drama depicting the chaotic situations that arise when Hong Geum-bo, an elite securities supervisor who knows only work, disguises herself as a 20-year-old female employee at a securities firm where suspicious money flows have been detected.
Park Shin-hye takes on the role of Hong Geum-bo, who disguises herself as a new graduate at a securities firm overnight from an elite supervisor at the Financial Supervisory Service. Park Shin-hye, transitioning from a cold career woman who knew only work to a fresh newcomer, is expected to comically unravel the chaotic events occurring in the Yeouido financial district. Notably, following her strong transformation in her previous work "The Judge from Hell," attention is drawn to whether Park Shin-hye will once again create a life-changing character through this project, showcasing a unique spectrum of characters.
Ko Kyung-pyo plays Shin Jeong-woo, the new CEO of Hanmin Securities, a natural management consultant and corporate hunter who believes that only numbers are honest. He is known as the "unofficial cold handsome man" in Yeouido and becomes entangled in a complicated relationship with Hong Jang-mi, who has the face of his former love, Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye). Having showcased stable acting skills and unique charm in works such as "There's No Secret" and "Moon, Wed, Fri, Sat", Ko Kyung-pyo is expected to deepen the intense story set in the securities industry and anchor the narrative.
Meanwhile, Ha Yoon-kyung plays Go Bok-hee, the dedicated secretary of Hanmin Securities, and also acts as the "big sister" residing in dorm room 301 where Geum-bo is staying. Bok-hee is a character who confidently walks around in splendid outfits amidst the monochrome backdrop of Yeouido, and survives in the secretary's office with her own winning strategies. With Ha Yoon-kyung's dazzling performances in various works such as "Please Take Care of My Family" and "Extraordinary Attorney Woo", anticipation is high for what new character she will display.
Jo Han-gyeol plays the role of Albert Oh, a cinephile who unexpectedly lands in Yeouido and is the grandson of the president of Hanmin Securities. Although he is not interested in management, he causes disruptions in the company and finds new inspiration from the impressive new employee, Geum-bo. Jo Han-gyeol, who recently left a deep impression in the drama "The Haunted Palace," is expected to firmly establish his presence in households as the character Albert Oh, who is full of quirky charm.
"Miss Undercover Boss" has already garnered significant attention with the perfect combination of trusted actors Park Shin-hye, Ko Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung, and Jo Han-gyeol. Additionally, director Park Sun-ho, known for works such as "Suspicious Partner," "Rich Man, Poor Woman," "Company Matchmaker," and "Brewing Love," along with writer Moon Hyun-gyeong, who penned the drama "Job Proposal," have joined forces to prepare a unique office comedy that will mark a significant moment in the retro genre.
In relation to this, the production team stated, "We are very pleased to work with trusted actors Park Shin-hye, Ko Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung, and Jo Han-gyeol" and added, "Please look forward to 'Miss Undercover Boss,' which will infiltrate the hearts of viewers with a lively and exhilarating story set at the intersection of the chaos of the end of the century and today's reality."
