The drama " Undercover Ms. Hong« , expected in early 2026, unveils a new poster that highlights the unexpected secret of its heroine, played by Park Shin-hye. Set in the late 1990s, this office comedy follows Hong Geum-bo, a brilliant financial investigator who finds herself forced to infiltrate a brokerage firm under a false identity.
An elite investigator who becomes a beginner again
Hong Geum-bo is in her thirties and is one of the best employees at her regulatory agency. But everything changes when she detects suspicious transactions involving financial funds. To uncover the truth, she makes the bold decision to go undercover as a 20-year-old rookie employee at Hanmin Securities, under the name Hong Jang-mi.
The poster reveals this duality: Park Shin-hye appears elegant in a suit, holding a newspaper with confidence, while her alter ego, more clumsy and fresh-faced, appears printed on it. This visual contrast heralds a series combining comedy, investigation, and identity games.
A retro trip to the heart of Yeouido in the 1990s
The plot will also explore the turmoil of the Yeouido financial district, which was booming in the 1990s. The drama's retro aesthetic, with its monitors displaying stock market indices and period offices, promises to rekindle a particular nostalgia for this pivotal economic era.
Undercover Ms. Hong will make its debut on January 17, 2026 on tvN and Netflix.
