Park Shin-hye and Go Kyung-pyo star in 'Undercover Miss Hong,' a new tvN spy comedy set in 1997 Seoul. Get a first look at the new posters and teasers.
In the shadow of a national financial crisis, a new kind of spy comedy is brewing. tvN has just dropped the first posters and teasers for its upcoming drama, 'Undercover Miss Hong', starring Park Shin-hye and Go Kyung-pyo. The series is a period comedy set in the bustling finance district of Yeouido, Seoul, during the turbulent year of 1997.
A Mission Derailed by an Unlikely Encounter
The newly released promotional materials introduce us to Hwang Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye), an undercover agent on a mission. However, her meticulous plans are reportedly derailed by an unexpected character played by Go Kyung-pyo. The teasers hint at a chaotic but charming chemistry between the two leads, promising a story filled with comedic hijinks against a historically significant backdrop.
More Than Just a Retro Throwback
What makes the series stand out is its specific setting. The year 1997 marks the beginning of the IMF financial crisis in South Korea, a period of immense social and economic upheaval. Setting a comedy within this tense era offers a unique narrative playground. The show's success will likely hinge on how well it balances the gravity of the historical context with the lightheartedness of its genre.
