Park Shin-hye Transforms into Undercover Financial Investigator in the Upcoming Drama

After wowing audiences with her intense performance in “The Judge from Hell” and earning the Directors’ Award at the SBS Drama Awards, Park Shin-hye is gearing up for her next challenge. While she hasn’t officially signed the contract, insiders report that she has reached a tentative agreement to star in “Miss Undercover Boss (tentative title),” a fresh take on the office comedy genre with a thrilling investigative twist.

Set against the backdrop of the late 1990s, in the aftermath of the IMF crisis, “Miss Undercover Boss” follows Hong Geum-bo, a no-nonsense financial regulator known for her sharp instincts and relentless pursuit of justice. At 35, her life revolves around exposing financial corruption – until a high-stakes case forces her to take on an unexpected disguise. Blessed (or cursed) with a naturally youthful face, she goes undercover as a 20-year-old high school graduate, landing a job at a suspicious securities firm that has raised red flags for financial fraud.

Helmed by director Park Seon-ho (“Business Proposal,” “Brewing Love”) and penned by Moon Hyun-kyung (“Memorials”), the series promises a mix of sharp-witted humor, high-stakes deception, and exhilarating takedowns of financial criminals. Produced by Celltrion, the drama is set to air on tvN in early 2026.

Park Shin-hye will step into a dual role – one moment a fierce, commanding investigator, the next a clueless rookie struggling with coffee runs and mundane office tasks. As she juggles these contrasting identities, she must also navigate office politics, uncover hidden conspiracies, and maintain her cover. The drama is expected to balance lighthearted comedy with edge-of-your-seat suspense, offering audiences both laughter and catharsis as she outsmarts fraudsters.

With “The Judge from Hell” showcasing her ability to take on bold, unconventional roles, “Miss Undercover Boss” has all the makings of yet another career-defining performance. Fans are eager to see how she will bring both grit and charm to this unique role, proving once again why she remains one of Korea’s most versatile leading actresses.
