Actors Park Shin-hye and Go Kyung-pyo have confirmed their appearances in the new tvN drama 'Miss Undercover Boss' (working title).
Scheduled to air in the first half of 2026, 'Miss Undercover Boss' (working title) (Directed by Park Sun-ho / Written by Moon Hyun-kyung / Planned by Studio Dragon / Produced by Celltrion Entertainment, Studio Dragon) is a retro office comedy drama set in the late 1990s, depicting the chaotic events that unfold when Hong Geum-bo, a 30-something elite securities supervisor who knows only work, disguises herself as a 20-year-old high school graduate employee at a securities firm where suspicious fund flows have been detected.
Park Shin-hye will take on the role of Hong Geum-bo, who disguises herself as a new high school graduate at a securities firm overnight from being an elite supervisor at the Financial Supervisory Service. Park Shin-hye will transition from a cold, career-driven woman who knows only work to a fresh-faced rookie, humorously portraying the chaotic events that occur in the Yeouido securities market.
In particular, after receiving a hot response for her intense transformation in her previous work 'The Judge from Hell', attention is focused on whether Park Shin-hye will once again create a life-changing character and showcase an unprecedented character spectrum in this project.
Go Kyung-pyo will play the role of Shin Jung-woo, the new CEO of Hanmin Securities, a natural management consultant and corporate predator who believes that only numbers are honest. He is known as the 'unofficial cool guy' in Yeouido, and he becomes entangled with Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye), who he once loved at the age of twenty, now disguised as Hong Jang-mi.
Go Kyung-pyo, who has showcased stable acting skills and unique charm in works like 'No Secrets' and 'Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday', is expected to delve deeply into the fierce stories set against the backdrop of the securities industry, anchoring the drama.
Meanwhile, Ha Yoon-kyung will portray Ko Bok-hee, the dedicated secretary to the president at Hanmin Securities, and the 'older sister' of Geum-bo, who is living in dormitory room 301 under disguise. Bok-hee is a cute tsundere character who confidently wears flashy outfits in the colorless heart of Yeouido and has survived in the secretary's office with her own winning methods. Expectations are high for Ha Yoon-kyung, who has continued to shine in various works such as 'Please Take Care of This Life' and 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', to show a new side of herself.
Jo Han-kyul will passionately play the role of Albert Oh, a cinephile who unexpectedly lands in Yeouido on a golden parachute and is the grandson of the chairman of Hanmin Securities. He has no interest in management but causes disturbances at the company and is inspired by the impressively mature new employee Geum-bo from their first meeting. Jo Han-kyul, who left a deep impression in the recent drama 'Gwigung', is expected to make a strong mark on the home screen with the lively character of Albert Oh.
Thus, 'Miss Undercover Boss' is generating hot interest even before its broadcast, with the trusted actor Park Shin-hye leading the cast alongside Go Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung, and Jo Han-kyul. Additionally, director Park Sun-ho, known for works like 'Suspicious Partner', 'Rich Man', 'Company Match', and 'Romance is a Bonus Book', and writer Moon Hyun-kyung, who penned 'The Job Proposal', have joined forces, preparing to make a significant mark in the millennial office comedy genre.
In this regard, the production team stated, "We are very happy to be working with the trusted actors Park Shin-hye, Go Kyung-pyo, Ha Yoon-kyung, and Jo Han-kyul," and added, "We ask for your great expectations for 'Miss Undercover Boss', which will sneak into the hearts of viewers with a lively and exhilarating story that connects the chaos of the millennial era with today's reality."
'Miss Undercover Boss' (working title) is set to premiere on tvN in the first half of 2026.
