'Undercover Miss Hong' director Park Sun-ho conveyed the drama's viewing points and directing intentions.
The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Undercover Miss Hong' (directed by Park Sun-ho / written by Moon Hyun-kyung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Celltrion Entertainment, Studio Dragon), which is scheduled to premiere on the 17th (Sat) at 9:10 p.m., is an offbeat office comedy drama set in the late 1990s that follows 30-year-old elite securities supervisor Hong Geum-bo (Park Shinhye) as she goes undercover by taking a job as a 20-year-old entry-level employee at a securities firm where suspicious financial flows have been detected.
Leading the cast of reliable performers is actor Park Shinhye, and the fact that director Park Sun-ho, who directed Greasy Melo, Business Proposal, and Suspicious Partner, took the helm of 'Undercover Miss Hong' has attracted attention. Director Park Sun-ho said he was very happy to be connected with good people and a good project. He said that when he first read the script, the kind of story he wanted to tell lived within a solid structure, so he happily took on the directing role. He added that he thinks the story of individual goodwill and strong solidarity confronting a great evil that everyone feels is unjust but could not easily oppose will resonate strongly with viewers.
Director Park Sun-ho praised, "The biggest charm of 'Miss Hong' is the actors' 'professional genius' moments. I was often amazed during filming that they could express the characters' individuality and emotions so precisely and in such detail. Park Shinhye, who plays the lead role Hong Geum-bo, is a genius actor capable of every genre." He also said, "The other actors did really well, and just from the discussions during the preparation period about the actors and their characters, everyone quickly absorbed the ideas and acted excellently, so as a director I was able to work comfortably and enjoyably," and he did not forget a heartfelt thank-you to the lead and supporting actors who filled 'Undercover Miss Hong' without gaps.
He named three keywords that best describe 'Undercover Miss Hong': comedy, acting ensemble and warmth. Director Park Sun-ho said, "We tried to include those three elements in the drama as much as possible, so I hope you pay attention to that. Also, we devoted ourselves to weaving messages that might give viewers something to think about into the framework of enjoyable comedy. The story of the solidarity of justice in which everyone grows will continue like a comfortable essay, so I hope viewers enjoy their time watching. And I hope you enjoy the feast of acting presented by the charming actors," revealing special viewing points.
Finally, he said, "If viewers later remember this work as 'a cheerful and enjoyable yet serious story,' I would be truly satisfied. I think various stories and messages will be derived from the many characters and narratives that exist in 'Undercover Miss Hong,' and I hope each viewer takes away at least one message. I hope it becomes a good work for many people, a piece they want to revisit again," delivering a sincere greeting to prospective viewers.
The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Undercover Miss Hong,' which will offer fresh fun with a parade of human, strongly characterized characters and a nail-biting undercover mission, will premiere on the 17th (Sat) at 9:10 p.m.
