Actor Ha Yoon-Kyung's heartfelt performance is shining.
Currently, Ha Yoon-Kyung is showing a performance with perfect balance—serious but not heavy, cheerful but not frivolous—through her character Go Bok-hee in the tvN weekend drama Undercover Miss Hong (directed by Park Seon-ho and Na Ji-hyun / written by Moon Hyun-kyung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Celltrion Entertainment, Studio Dragon). In addition, the solid acting core of Ha Yoon-Kyung, who transformed the unlikeable Go Bok-hee—who had become individualistic because of family and personal matters she wanted to hide—into a character with warm inner feelings and human charm, is also receiving attention.
In particular, Ha Yoon-Kyung made viewers even more absorbed by calmly conveying the times of Go Bok-hee's wounds. In the recently aired episodes 13–14 of Undercover Miss Hong, Go Bok-hee reveals why she stayed by Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye), saying, "People walked by pretending not to know when I was being hit. He always blocked it," and even then Ha Yoon-Kyung showed an unshaken, plain demeanor. The lonely look she gave, as if recalling the years gone by, left a deep impression.
She also made Go Bok-hee a three-dimensional character through emotional acting that varied in intensity even in short moments. Ha Yoon-Kyung made viewers smile naturally with a seamless emotional shift: first, as Go Bok-hee, who had lived protecting herself, vows, "If you cry or show weakness, you lose," and then snappily snaps, "Watch and learn."
At the start of the drama, Go Bok-hee, who distrusted everyone and looked only out for herself, gradually opens her heart and becomes a roommate and family member; Ha Yoon-Kyung has portrayed this process with a performance that truly merged into the character. Above all, her wholehearted acting, enhanced by affection for the character, is moving viewers.
Carrying the weight and tension of life, Ha Yoon-Kyung's performance, which has fully built her own world by roaming the screen as Go Bok-hee herself, raises expectations for how it will expand until the end.
Meanwhile, as the Yeouido pirate crew moves toward their final target, Chairman Kang Pil-beom, Deputy Minister Song tries to threaten Go Bok-hee by bringing up her past. It raises curiosity about what kind of ending Go Bok-hee will face.
Episode 15 of Undercover Miss Hong will air on the 7th at 10 p.m., and the final episode will air on the 8th at 9:10 p.m.
