Park Shin Hye Shines in the Premiere Week of “Undercover Miss Hong”

Undercover Miss Hong easily engaged viewers with its clever blend of humor, suspense, and romance.

If you’re looking for a weekend K-Drama binge with laughs, office intrigue, and a dash of heart-fluttering nostalgia, this show has it all.

Meet the Heroine

Hong Geum-bo (Park Shin Hye) is no ordinary office worker. As a principled investigator at the Financial Supervisory Department, she navigates the high-stakes world of financial crime with intelligence and tenacity. Her sharp moral compass often puts her at odds with superiors, making her a standout in a male-dominated workplace that isn’t sure how to handle her independence.

Geum-bo’s latest case involves Hanmin Investment and Securities, where a hidden slush fund ledger holds the key to uncovering corruption. Her main lead is Kang Myung-hwi, the company heir—but before she can act, tragedy strikes: President Kang dies under mysterious circumstances, officially ruled a suicide due to pressure from the department. The only lead left points to “Yehppee,” a shadowy figure tied to the missing funds.

Going Undercover

To get to the truth, Geum-bo assumes a new identity, Hong Ja-mi, and infiltrates Hanmin as a rookie assistant in the Risk Management division. She even moves into the company dormitory to get close to Go Bok-hee (Ha Yoon Kyung), President Kang’s loyal secretary with a secretive past. Things get even more complicated when Bok-hee’s roommate turns out to be Kang No-ra, the chairman’s daughter, who seems unusually interested in Geum-bo.

Adding fuel to the fire, Shin Jung-woo (Go Kyung Pyo), the new company president and Geum-bo’s first love, reappears unexpectedly. The reunion sets the stage for sparks, unresolved tension, and plenty of “will-they-won’t-they” moments.

For fans of ’90s nostalgia—or anyone who loves stylish retro office settings—the show delivers a playful throwback. From stock-market schemes to old-school office culture, the retro vibe adds both charm and unpredictability. Park Shin Hye proves once again why she’s a versatile actress, balancing grit, wit, and heart as Geum-bo navigates a world of secrets and deception.

The dynamic between Geum-bo and Ha Yoon Kyung is another highlight. Whether they become rivals or allies remains a tantalizing mystery, while Jung-woo’s presence promises both emotional depth and romantic tension.

Featuring a mix of clever workplace humor, layered mystery, and swoon-worthy romance, *Undercover Miss Hong* is more than just a retro throwback—it’s a full-on entertainment package. From its opening week, the series has already captured the attention of viewers looking for suspense, style, and strong, engaging characters.

For anyone craving smart storytelling with a retro twist, clever humor, and heart, Undercover Miss Hong is the weekend binge you won’t want to miss.
