The drama follows 30-year-old elite inspector Hong Geum-bo, played by Park, who unexpectedly goes undercover as a rookie employee at a suspicious securities firm.

Geum-bo is known for being an overworked individual with poor social skills, and her secret mission and undercover identity lead to some hilarious and eye-opening scenes within the corporate culture.

Park's new role marks a sharp turn from her recent performance in Judge from Hell, showcasing her versatility and growth.

"I'm excited to explore another facet of myself through this project," Park said in a statement through her agency. "Geum-bo is intense and awkward in all the best ways, it's going to be fun."

Go Kyung-pyo stars as Shin Jung-woo, a newly appointed CEO of Hanmin Securities and a cold-blooded numbers-driven consultant.

His life intertwines with Hong Geum-bo, who bears a striking resemblance to his ex-girlfriend, setting conflict and love into motion.

Ha Yoon-kyung will portray Go Bok-hee, the CEO's loyal secretary and resident of Dorm Room 301, the same space where undercover Geum-bo resides.

Rising actor Jo Han-gyeol joins the cast as Albert Oh, the well-connected grandson of the company's chairman.

"Miss Undercover Boss" is directed by Park Sun-ho, known for hits like Suspicious Partner and Business Proposal, with a script penned by Hyena writer Moon Hyun-kyung.

"We're thrilled to bring together such a trusted and talented cast," the production team said in a statement.

"'Miss Undercover Boss' will dive into the hearts of viewers with a lively and exhilarating story set at the intersection of millennial chaos and today's realities. Please look forward to it."

The drama is already drawing considerable attention online for its casting, genre blend, and fresh take on corporate culture with a mystery twist.

tvN's "Miss Undercover Boss" is set to premiere in early 2026.
