A favorite actress of many, Park Shin Hye is preparing to take on the role of her life in her next K-drama — Miss Undercover Boss — according to insiders in the industry.

Though she has not yet formally signed, sources, according to KBiZoom indicate she has agreed in principle to headline the comedy-infused mystery series.

Park Shin-Hye, who recently won the Directors' Award at the SBS Drama Awards for The Judge from Hell, returns to the small screen as Hong Geum-bo, an aggressive investigator of financial crimes with an uncanny ability to fight and pursue justice.

This drama is based on the IMF crisis in the late 1990s and depicts Geum-bo's strong move against the wave of financing corruption.

A 35-year-old veteran, she pretends to be a 20-year-old high school graduate, which makes her characterization more intriguing.

That lands her a position at a somewhat disreputable securities firm, which has been flagged for possible fraud.

Directed by Park Seon-ho of Business Proposal and Brewing Love, Miss Undercover Boss is scripted by Moon Hyun-kyung of Memorials.

A unique cocktail of dark humor, evasion, and thrilling tarring and feathering of financial bandits.

Park will have to balance playing a no-nonsense investigator alongside the series' most oblivious rookie attempting to cope with the everyday demands of office life.

Expect office politicking, conspiracy in not-so-hidden corners, and a fair amount of humor as she tries to balance both worlds.

The show produced by Celltrion will be streamed on TVN in early 2026.

Given Park's recent success and ability to tackle unconventional roles, fans are eagerly anticipating her performance in Miss Undercover Boss.
