Actress Park Shin Hye Set to Lead Retro Office Comedy ‘Miss Undercover Boss’
Get ready for a thrilling transformation—Park Shin Hye is stepping into the world of high-stakes finance and undercover missions in the upcoming tvN drama Miss Undercover Boss!
After earning rave reviews for her powerful performance in last year’s SBS hit Judge from Hell—which even won her the Director’s Award at the SBS Drama Awards—Park Shin Hye has reportedly chosen Miss Undercover Boss as her next big project. While she hasn’t officially signed the contract, industry insiders reveal she has reached a tentative agreement to take on the lead role.
A Retro Comedy with a Financial Twist
Set in the late 1990s, during the peak of the IMF financial crisis, Miss Undercover Boss is a unique blend of office comedy and investigative drama. Park Shin Hye will play a 35-year-old elite supervisor at the Securities and Futures Commission—fiercely dedicated to tracking down financial criminals. But here’s the catch: in order to infiltrate a suspicious securities firm suspected of illicit fund dealings, she goes undercover as a 20-year-old high school graduate employee!
With her youthful looks allowing her to blend in, she must navigate the absurdities of office life in the '90s—handling coffee runs, fax machines, and office politics—all while secretly building a case to take down financial corruption from the inside.
The drama is helmed by director Park Seon Ho (Office Matchmaking, Drunk Romance) and penned by writer Moon Hyun Kyung (The Ballot), with Celltrion Entertainment leading production.
Park Shin Hye’s Ultimate Transformation
Known for her ability to tackle diverse roles, Park Shin Hye is expected to deliver another standout performance as she balances the confidence of a seasoned financial investigator with the awkward charm of a newbie office worker. From fierce interrogations to struggling with ancient office equipment, her duality in Miss Undercover Boss is already generating major buzz!
