Actor Ha Yoon-Kyung perfectly transformed into Go Bok-hee, the securities firm president's secretary, through Undercover Miss Hong. She is a character with secret ambitions who opens her heart to Hong Geum-bo (Park Shinhye) and heralds the start of their womance, raising expectations for Go Bok-hee's activities.
Ha Yoon-Kyung plays Go Bok-hee, a social-savvy perfectionist and the president's secretary at Hanmin Securities, in the new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama Undercover Miss Hong (directed by Park Seon-ho, written by Moon Hyun-kyung), which premiered on the 17th.
Ha Yoon-Kyung heightened the character's sync by using her characteristic prim tone to portray Go Bok-hee, who has a capitalist smile. She wears a smile and speaks sweetly in front of her boss but turns cold in front of others, and Ha Yoon-Kyung moved effortlessly between those temperature shifts, adding to the show's entertainment value.
Not only that, she naturally conveyed Go Bok-hee's inner change as she slowly opens up to Hong Geum-bo, who promises to help her remain in the secretary position, filling the screen with excellent acting. The process in which Go Bok-hee, who had been wary and jealous of everyone, gradually becomes receptive to Hong Geum-bo's words was completed through Ha Yoon-Kyung's delicate emotional acting.
Alongside Ha Yoon-Kyung's acting transformation, the charm of the character Go Bok-hee was also intriguingly portrayed, drawing attention.
In the drama, a flashback revealed Go Bok-hee sitting alone at a bus terminal with her face covered in wounds, evoking sympathy. Furthermore, when it was revealed that Go Bok-hee was suspected of embezzlement at a former workplace, curiosity about her mysterious past deepened. In particular, the scene showing her taking the ledger while saying, "I should clean this up here (at Hanmin Securities) and leave," heightened interest in her identity.
Above all, the alliance with Hong Geum-bo, who wants to seat Go Bok-hee again as the president's secretary for her own reasons, signals the start of a womance between roommates and raises expectations. Go Bok-hee's shy but sincere "thank you" to Hong Geum-bo, who truly helped her, hinted at changes in their relationship and added to the fun.
Meanwhile, Undercover Miss Hong is a retro office comedy drama set in the late 1990s about Hong Geum-bo (Park Shinhye), a 30-something elite securities inspector who goes undercover as a 20-year-old entry-level employee at a securities firm where suspicious funds have been detected, and it airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
