Actress Park Shin-hye will make her first attempt at a period drama at the end of the century through "Undercover Miss Hong."

Producer Park Seon-ho and actors Park Shin-hye, Ha Yoon-kyung and Cho Han-kyul attended the production presentation of tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Undercover Miss Hong" (scripted by Moon Hyun-kyung) at The Link Hotel in Sindorim, Guro-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 12th. Ko Kyung-pyo was originally scheduled to attend, but he was absent due to health reasons.

"Undercover Mitsuhong" is a retro-office comedy drama that takes place in the late 1990s when Hong Geum-bo (Park Shin-hye), an elite securities supervisor in his 30s, gets a fake job as a 20-year-old employee at a securities company where the flow of funds was captured.

On this day, producer Park said, "It is a story about a 35-year-old elite securities supervisor disguised as a high school graduate to punish a huge group of evil," adding, "The script that faithfully unravels the story within a simple and comical structure touched my heart." Basically, it contained a message I wanted to try one day, so I chose it without hesitation. Maybe because the script was good, good actors participated, so I enjoyed filming for more than six months," he said.

In addition, producer Park said, "At that time, there was always nostalgia for Hong Kong movies and fan sentiment for their heyday." I received the script, and when I saw that the character's name was Hong Geum-bo, it caught my eye. Isn't it even a female character. There was a fixed image and gender role about typical femininity, because it was a story about an enterprising female character trying to boldly overthrow it," he explained.

Park Shin-hye plays Hong Geum-bo, the first female supervisor of the Securities Supervisor's Capital Market Research Bureau, and Ko Kyung-pyo plays Shin Jung-woo, the new president of Han Min Securities Co., and a corporate hunter who returned to Yeouido after hiding his black ambition.

As for why she chose this drama, Park Shin-hye said, "I find sweet and salty. When I was thinking about what characters I could enjoy expressing after "Judge from Hell", the subject of a very toxic friend named Hong Geum-bo camouflaging himself as a high school graduate was interesting. I thought synergy between the characters would be good, so I participated," he said.

Background of the Era in the Drama Park Shin-hye, who was an elementary school student at the time, will make her first attempt at a period drama at the end of the century. In response, he said, "The things I felt when I was young were intact. At that time, I grew up feeling the preference for boys and the atmosphere of a male-centered society fully on campus. "I naturally melted the discomfort, not the discomfort that was in me, and various emotions," he confessed.

It is also an era that remains in my memory. While filming, I was so nostalgic that I filmed it. "When I look at the set or props, I think of those days," he said.

Ha Yoon-kyung plays Ko Bok-hee, a secretary in charge of Korean citizenship rights president who dreams of immigrating to the U.S., and Cho Han-kyul plays Albert Oh, a Cinephile and head of the Korean citizenship crisis management division who made a crash landing in Yeouido on a golden parachute.

Ha Yoon-kyung said, "I wanted to appear right away after hearing that Park Shin-hye, who I like so much, is the main character. "I decided to appear because I wanted to express the role of Ko Bok-hee, who has a wide spectrum," he said, and Cho Han-kyul expressed his excitement, saying, "I really wanted to do a period."

Park Shin-hye praised Cho Han-gyeol, saying, "He looked pretty every time Cho Hyun-gyeol tried to break his style because he had a lot of outgoing appearances."

tvN is expected to evoke the sensibility of a period drama at the end of the century by introducing "Undercover Miss Hong" following the popular "Taepung Corporation" last year. Producer Park said about the difference between "Taepung Corporation" and "I have worked with actor Lee Jun-ho." I didn't finish watching "Taepung Corporation", but I watched some of the previous episodes, and I enjoyed it so much. Rather than simply comparing it to a certain work, I focused on how to solve the strengths of our work," he said, expressing confidence in "Undercover Miss Hong."

Park Shin-hye goes back and forth between Hong Geum-bo and 20-year-old Hong Rose in the play. Was there any difficulty. He said, "I felt a lot of pressure. Since I debuted when I was young, many people know me when I was 20. Isn't it inevitable that time has passed. I paid a lot of attention to fashion and hair to show the thirty-five-year-old Hong Geum-bo and twenty-year-old Hong Rose gap. In practice, it is a long-cherished desire. I'm presbytery, but I'm just sticking to it and seeing it," he said, drawing laughter.

Ha Yoon-kyung said, "I chose a way that did not testify the Seoul dialect, and as a secretary, I have the way of speaking and walking that I made for my social life. "I thought of the charm of a person who wears a social mask and treats his bosses," Park Shin-hye, who was listening to this, said, "The way you walk is attractive. The makeup was amazing, and it brought the tone of the time perfectly to the point where I reflected on it," he praised Ha Yoon-kyung.

"I looked for orange materials and watched various movies containing those days and referred a lot to them," Cho Han-kyul said, emphasizing the efforts he made to build the character.

In particular, Park Shin-hye said, "It's a work that put me down a lot," about "Undercover Miss Hong," and added, "Honestly, it was a scene where I put a lot of myself and wrote my body and heart generously. I started working when I was 13 years old, but when I was in my 20s, I only looked forward and ran. However, as I continue my work in my 30s, and as I grow up, I feel like I'm learning and learning various emotions that I haven't felt before. The emotions I can express are also diversified," he said.

"When I was in my 20s, I couldn't experience those emotions and was in a hurry to express them, but now I understand every line, maybe because I'm 35 years old as Hong Geum-bo. So I think it was a bit more comfortable to act. In the future, I think the emotions I learn and feel will help me in acting," he said.

Park Shin-hye will appear in an tvN drama for the first time in eight years since the drama "Memories of the Palace of Alhambra," which aired in 2018. He said, "I didn't know it would take this long. I worked with affection," he said, expressing his delight at returning to tvN.

How was the acting chemistry between the actors. Ha Yoon-kyung said, "I think Hong Geum-bo's love line is me," and added, "We hit it off so well that I wondered if we could work so well together." I also said, "How can I act without you now?" I had good acting and good Tiki-taka," he said, expressing his affection for Park Shin-hye.

Cho said, "I learned a lot from acting together. I learned something I wouldn't learn even if I paid for it. I still have a hard time acting on the camera, but I learned a lot," he said, thanking his colleagues.

The special appearance of YUNA, a member of the group ITZY, is also a hot topic. In response, producer Park said, "I was thinking of contacting her, but that morning, I came to the conclusion that I should try acting." The script is so interesting, and I thought it would be good to just play a scene with Park Shin-hye, so it was a special appearance," he explained.

In the last episode, he/she also praised that he/she has grown a lot and said, 'You have improved a lot.' I hope it will be a good starting point for your acting life. Each scene has an impact, so I think you can look forward to it," he said.

The actors also mentioned the evaluation they wanted to hear through this drama. Park Shin-hye said, "I want to hear that 'You've become a lot more comfortable, a tomboy can generate energy,'" and Cho Han-kyul said, "I used to do a lot of angry characters before, but this time I want to be evaluated as 'You're an actor who is good at being smart, too.' This time, there is little anger, and I think there are only two serious scenes," he said with a smile.

There was also a question about the previous work 'Taepung Corporation', which boasted high ratings. Park Shin-hye said, "I haven't been able to watch the broadcast because I've been filming on a level that's not on Earth for the past six months. I would appreciate it and it would be great if the ratings came out well, but I have no doubt that many people will love it. Even if the ratings don't come out well, I try not to hurt my feelings because I did my best. Since it is a job that is always evaluated, I personally don't think I dwell too much on it at some point," he replied calmly.

In response, Park Kyung-rim said, "I will ask you directly. "Do you want to win the huge 'Taepung Corporation'?" asked Park Shin-hye mischievously, and said, "I want to follow it because it's a previous work. If possible, I want to follow him," he said with a smile.

I don't like comparison, but I want to get a good energy. It would be great to go up against the typhoon. I also love "Taepung Corporation," he added.

Meanwhile, "Undercover Miss Hong" will premiere at 9:10 p.m. on the 17th.
