Actress Ha Yun Kyung has shared insights into her upcoming television project Undercover Miss Hong, offering a closer look at her character, the atmosphere on set, and the drama’s lighthearted tone.
Set in the late 1990s, the series is an office comedy centered on Hong Geum Bo, portrayed by Park Shin Hye, an elite financial supervisory officer in her 30s. After uncovering suspicious fund activities, the character goes undercover as a 20-year-old rookie employee at a securities firm, creating a premise that blends workplace tension with comedic situations.
In the drama, Ha Yun Kyung plays Go Bok Hee, the devoted personal secretary to the CEO of Hanmin Securities. Describing her first impression of the script, she noted that the story moves at a brisk pace and remains consistently engaging, thanks to its vivid characters and energetic storytelling.
She further explained that Go Bok Hee is a competent and sharp professional who maintains a polished, businesslike demeanor at work, often expressed through what she called a “capitalist smile.” In contrast, within the company dormitory, the character reveals a different side as a prim yet slightly overbearing older-sister figure. Despite her prickly exterior, Go Bok Hee is ultimately warm-hearted and difficult to dislike, making her a multifaceted presence in the story.
Discussing her experience working with fellow cast members, Ha Yun Kyung emphasized the strong chemistry she shared with her co-stars, particularly those portraying her dorm mates. She described their interactions as natural and sisterly, attributing the on-screen harmony to the cast’s kindness and supportive energy off camera.
According to the actress, one of the drama’s main strengths lies in its focus on relationships and everyday stories rather than heavy conflict. While set in an office environment, the series maintains a relaxed and accessible tone, aiming to provide viewers with an easy, enjoyable watch.
Undercover Miss Hong is scheduled to premiere on January 17 at 9:10 p.m. KST, positioning itself as a nostalgic yet upbeat addition to the winter drama lineup.
