Set in the 1990s, the office comedy "Undercover Miss Hong" revolves around Hong Geum Bo (Park Shin Hye) - an excellent female inspector at the Financial Supervisory Agency.
To carry out a secret mission, she infiltrates Hanmin Securities Company as a trainee Hong Jang Mi. During this process, she is drawn into a chaotic relationship with the ambitious CEO Shin Jung Woo (Go Kyung Pyo) - who is also her ex-boyfriend.
On the evening of February 1st, "Investigator Hong" aired episode 6 with a viewership rating of 8% - the highest since its broadcast, and also held the top 1 on Netflix Korea.
The film also rose to 2nd place in the list of most loved dramas of this week by the Korea Business Institute, while the female lead Park Shin Hye ranked 3rd in the list of actors, after Go Yoon Jung and Kim Seon Ho in the movie "Can you translate this love song?".
According to the film's developments, the secret about Kim Mi Sook - Geum Bo's roommate, a single mother, hiding her 6-year-old daughter in the dormitory has been revealed. Although Geum Bo initially opposed letting the child stay in the dormitory for fear of being discovered violating regulations, she eventually accepted the child as a new member in the room.
When 4 roommates in room 301 gradually share secrets and become closer, the story of Go Bok Hee (Ha Yun Kyung)'s past of being beaten by her brother and stealing money is also revealed. After being released from prison, he continues to find Bok Hee to get money, but Geum Bo luckily appears and rescues his roommate.
On Jung Woo's side, he discovered that his ex-girlfriend disguised herself, hid her identity and repeatedly made things difficult for her at the company. The situation of Jung Woo appearing in front of the dormitory gate and being misunderstood as Bok Hee's brother or how he used his eyes to judge his ex-girlfriend when she wore fancy clothes to go on a date brought laughter to viewers.
The episode ends with the female lead discovering the secret of Albert Oh (Cho Han Gyul) - her head of department. It is highly likely that Albert Oh - who seems carefree and doesn't care about everything - is the one holding Hanmin's secret fund.
After 6 episodes of screening, "Investigator Hong" is still doing well in terms of setting, story, and acting. Along with the female lead Park Shin Hye, the acting of Go Kyung Pyo and Ha Yun Kyung is highly appreciated.
Taking on a character with goals and always calm, Go Kyung Pyo still makes viewers laugh every moment he appears. Meanwhile, Ha Yun Kyung also realistically transforms into Bok Hee - a sharp and capable secretary, who looks difficult and strict but inside is warm and has experienced injuries.
