Jang Do-ha of the popular completed series "Undercover Miss Hong" shared an ending remark full of affection for the work. In the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama "Undercover Miss Hong," which ended on Mar. 8 (directed by Park Seon-ho and Na Ji-hyun / written by Moon Hyun-kyung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by Celltrion Entertainment and Studio Dragon), Jang Do-ha, who played Lee Yong-gi, Director of the crisis management headquarters, received viewers' love by delivering a flavorful performance every time he appeared.
Through his agency Salt Entertainment, Jang Do-ha said, "I still can't believe that a work we agonized over intensely and happily filmed has come to an end amid such great love. As a participating actor and as one of the viewers, the happy anticipation of counting down to filming and broadcast days—it's heartbreaking and already nostalgic that it's the last time."
As the director of the crisis management headquarters, a computer whiz who set up the intranet at once, and even a member of the Yeouido pirate crew who delivered a twist, Jang Do-ha said he wanted to express Lee Yong-gi as a keyword of growth. "I often thought of the sentence 'we are all courage,' and so I wanted to express the courage that grows and also ourselves. The driving force behind courage's growth was Miss Hong's encouragement that recognized courage's ability and value. We all have abilities inherent like courage, and I wanted to portray how someone or their own encouragement helps them grow," he said. He cited as the most memorable scene the moment when Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye) told Lee Yong-gi, "You can do it," encouraging him, and roses bloomed all around Yong-gi and Geum-bo. He felt that from that scene on, courage became truly courageous.
Looking back, Jang Do-ha said that because they filmed happily and received great love, "Undercover Miss Hong" will be remembered as "a work that made people realize the importance of the process," and he expressed deep gratitude: "I give infinite thanks to the viewers who loved us. After every episode aired, I couldn't be happier reading your comments and reactions as you guessed Yepi and the plot developments. I hope you will always be people with 'courage'! I was so happy and grateful." Meanwhile, immediately after the final episode aired, his agency's YouTube channel released a set tour of "Undercover Miss Hong" and footage from the last filming.
Debuting in "My Country: The New Age" and appearing in "Shooting Star," "We Are Not Trash," and "The Judge from Hell," Jang Do-ha's Pang-bo is drawing attention for his standout performance and harmless charm in "Undercover Miss Hong."
