Comments

Bagu May 10 2026 5:05 pm I had such a great time watching this drama. It was absolutely hilarious, and I laughed so much throughout the whole series. Huge compliments to the cinematography — I think this is the first drama set in the ’90s that I’ve seen with such colorful visuals. It almost felt like watching a video game at times.

Park Shin Hye was amazing here. The whole undercover plot of a 35-year-old woman pretending to be a 20-year-old girl was incredibly funny, especially because everyone completely believed it.

I especially loved Ms. Hong and Albert together — they made me laugh so much. Ms. Hong’s scenes with her boss were hilarious as well. The dorm trio also did a fantastic job.

Honestly, I could talk about the entire cast individually because all of them were great and played an important role in making the story so entertaining.

Brian V Apr 23 2026 2:20 pm Magic Banana's, at 48 minutes in the first episode, Yun Jae-Beom grabs the basket of fruit to chase after Miss Hong, and the banana's fall out of the basket on the waiting room seat. When the camera angle immediately changes from the opposite direction, and Yun Jae-Beom falls to the floor with the fruit basket, the banana's have reappeared, and fall out onto the floor this time. Stuff like that makes me laugh, magic banana's.

First episode is slow and tedious. I do hope this show picks up and gets better. Don't count on the magic banana's to keep me entertained.

IMO007 Apr 23 2026 2:02 am Whoever is skeptical to watch this drama ( I was ) and came here for reviews, this is a must watch. It’s everything you want, cast was amazing, every actor and actresses exceeded my expectations, the storyline is exceptional, the entire series was fun and hilarious, ohh and the mystery of yeppee. So glad it had 16ep and not 12.

Becky Apr 20 2026 10:07 am Whoever did the English translation for undercover miss hong on Netflix should be fired. I've never seen worse translation in my life. They put expletives and profanity in English where there was None in Korean. Translators do not have the right to go off script. That is not what they're getting paid to do. Translate correctly or find another job!!

Miss Hong Supporter Apr 02 2026 2:19 am love love loved this drama. The cast was amazing!

Bim Mar 26 2026 8:38 pm i like this series light, funny but full of emotion. she nail the role very well, also other actor supporting it make it more entertaining.

Sukiyaki Mar 25 2026 3:53 am Was hesitant to watch at first, but turns out so good. Light watch but engaging to finish the whole episode.

Cheryl Mar 23 2026 6:15 am I enjoyed this drama so much. It was a refreshingly different mystery drama and the focus on the female friendships with no romantic storyline, was a nice change from the typical k drama. It was fun and I was sad to finish it because practically every main character was so great and I will really miss this cast of characters!

lily Mar 16 2026 10:42 am wow so many familiar face, for me it good show I just watched 2 episod already but already soooo good I think I will finish this drama sooner

Cha- Mar 14 2026 6:36 am This series is sooooo good!!!!! , i like Hong Keum-Bo and Albert really romantic hahaha

QUEEN BEE Mar 13 2026 2:24 pm womanhood core!!!!

love that theres no romance plot and just full on friendship!!! we need more of women plotting and solving crimes!

Yeouido Piratees Mar 13 2026 11:20 am I am impressed that they even made a website https://yeouidopirates.com/ for the show lol. It is a real and functioning so you guys can go check it out. That aside, I think the 4 main actresses nailed their roles and are all interesting characters in their own way. Great chemistry and portrayal of friendship. Supporting actors did a wonderful job too. The first episode was boring for me but when Hong Keum Bo went undercover, it was freaking hilarious and was where the fun begins. I actually enjoyed all the bickerings and illegal stuff they did lol. Hope to see more of the cast in kdramas in the near future.

Olya_1004 Mar 12 2026 5:01 pm @Unbelievable Just because he was shown as a "clueless" guy doesn't mean Albert was stupid,he was just not interested in the family business and didn't show interest but he was never stupid. What he did to his dad in the end wasn't for love or friendship,he knew that what his family was doing was wrong and felt his uncle was wronged. He is by far not a backstabber just someone that wanted to repair what his family broke.

As for this drama,there is something so magical about kdramas that depict older eras. I am not a huge fan of historical dramas but dramas based in the 80s and 90s have been so good!. I loved Typhoon Family and A hundred memories too of recent releases and this one wasn't different. It was so fun and Park Shin Hye was amazing in this,she was a great lead and I never stopped rooting for her. Nora was also a favourite of mine,she was so sweet and naive but she also knew what was right and didn't let her family sway her into doing bad things. I hope there's a 2nd season,it looked like they were building up towards that but who knows. I. Will miss this drama

Undercover Mar 10 2026 1:07 am Would love to see a sequel/spin off with Bok hee teaming with Jang mi (Yuna), Albert and Yong gi...corporate avengers theme.

Castlin Mar 08 2026 3:21 pm Its a good series. I dont think Go Kyung Pyo needs in this series. Anyways I love Park Shin Hye.?

Chooozi Mar 07 2026 12:05 pm Hahaha the way episodee 14 ended was amazing; Love the growth of Kang No-ra. The episode was really exciting to watch honestly. Also, a special note: Making korean series in this era is so cool - it is refreshing really.

Kik Mar 02 2026 7:00 pm I am impressed with Go Bok Hee character. Ha Yoon-kyung played her so well. The expression the firmness in her face when she is in the professional world and the compassion and loyal she has for the people she cares is soo well played by the actress.

Unbelievable Mar 01 2026 12:51 pm It's hard to believe Albert's actions. He's shown as a careless and clueless guy, but he is the captain of Yeuido pirates. Also I see no reason why he decides to betray his family members for a friendship with a secretary assistant. Crush? Love? Affection? It's plain stupid.

It's easy to trust people like Shin Jung woo, but people like Albert are like back stabbers. If I come across a character like him in real life, I would avoid him.

Peter M Mar 01 2026 7:50 am This series in superb. The acting is top notch and the story telling is well paced. Those shipping Albert (23 yeard old) and Keum bo (35) make me sick. It is a massive age gap. Gross.

PANDORA Feb 24 2026 7:33 pm Albert + Jangmi for the win! Jungwoo’s character is so despicable I cannot stand him. I love the 4 girls and their friendship, the FFS boss and other side characters. This show is a fun one, episode 10.

dane Feb 24 2026 7:36 am I think keum bo and albert have much better chemistry and I hope that’s where the romance part/story is going

Hyeong Feb 23 2026 10:04 am I hope that shin jung woo character gets arrested or lost something in the end

risk Feb 22 2026 1:05 pm glad im not the only one who can see albert x miss hong chemistry indeed flying. and i dont wanna see her ending with the president. but seeing the preview, seems like they're gonna make him pitiful and might make him end up, but hopefully not, join in miss hong's crew.

ypirate Feb 22 2026 12:52 pm albert is such a scene stealer. always looking forward to him and miss hong. although they placed a past love line with ms hong and the president, the vibe is not giving that. and even though they placed a huge age gap diff between albert and miss hong, i actually prefer them just because i like their dynamics. it is balanced and they don't clash. their personalities kinda complement each other.

Anya Feb 22 2026 10:37 am Why're people debating the het ML/SML x FL?? Keum-bo x Bok-hee and Geum-bo x Mi-suk have as much bromantic moments as Albon x IT Lee. Keum-bo x Bok-hee in the firt episode even had a ML(Keum-bo) and FL(Bok-hee) moment. The drama, other than overtly referencing the names, has some Friends undertones in that you know the bromance and sismance is over and above everything else.

jigglingbutt Feb 21 2026 9:31 am i love the characters and the chemistry!

Loki Feb 20 2026 6:53 am Why there's always romance no good K-drama anymore

Des Feb 19 2026 7:09 am Albert Oh has a better chemistry with Jang Mi than Jung Woo

Yippeeee Feb 17 2026 8:33 am I need more drama with girl friendships against big corpo like this. I really love all four of them, I love all of their friendship and Geumbo x Bokhee is so so so good written. Another relationship that I love is the Risk Management Dept (including Albert x Jangmi) and Jangmi vs Cha Jung Il.

And with eps 10 ended, I really dont like Shin Jungwoo as male lead, I saw him as the biggest antagonist ? yes not the chairman, the big antagonist is Shin Jungwoo and Song Juran, no matter what they will write or if theres a redemption arc, I dont want SJW to get back with Hong Geumbo. I want noona love instead because Albert Oh love line is so good.

Jillibean Feb 17 2026 7:29 am I still prefer Park Shin Hye in her classic dramas like Tree of Heaven and Stairway to Heaven. This is okay but I have to admit I'm a bit bored. Bring her back with Lee Wan. Then sparks will fly again. :)

Jigokusan Feb 15 2026 2:08 pm Plot more on fire now. Good job for Park Shin Hye, all her drama plot hers choice are better and her acting now superb not like before just cry and Cinderella weak girl.

laila Feb 15 2026 9:51 am Park Shin-Hye has been choosing nice plot roles since her comeback and killing it.....

Kik Feb 14 2026 4:59 pm Park Shin Hye’s confident as an actress in her 30s is superb. She has nailed this role that I cannot see anyone as the lead. She is soooo good. The last few of her dramas are just perfect

Kdramalover Feb 14 2026 1:07 pm Can’t wait for the next episode- till it’s finished. It’s my bad I started to watch immediately that’s why I still have to wait till March 8 to finish. I want to watch it in one shot though. I am always excited for Saturday and Sunday to come because of undercover Ms Hong.i wish there will be more of romantic scenes for the leads also to make it more excited. I am totally hooked with this kDrama. Episode 9 is so fantastic and becoming even more - a must to watch series. highly recommended ?

E Feb 11 2026 6:10 pm I hope Keom-bo doesn’t end up with Jung-woo again. I honestly don’t trust him that much. Honestly i prefer for her to be with Albert instead.

HJM- fan Feb 10 2026 10:41 pm Surprisingly, Episode 2 welcomes an entertaining and engrossing episode. I thought this drama was boring when I watched Ep1, but when I continued ep 2 (after 2 days of contemplating) it was really fun, comedy, and great drama!

Min Feb 10 2026 4:51 am That Albert actor is so handsome.. with Jang Mi and Albert they're so cute

Hard Feb 08 2026 11:54 am Is it just me, I am unable to follow the accounting jargons that is being spoken. Investment, securities, stocks, bankruptcy, it's all greek and Latin to me so it is hard for me to follow this drama.

But looks like the male lead is up to no good. He seems to be one who had come to load his own pockets. It's like a just prosecutor went on to become a notorious lawyer. I'm interested in his pov. The female lead is such a sorry figure. Soon she will realise how her actions have impacted innocent employees in Hanmin, with Misook being one of them. There's no point in fighting the corrupt, because the powerful are all being corrupt only. It's only a matter of how corrupt a company is, not whether they are corrupt or not.

Kazari Feb 08 2026 11:16 am After 8 Episodes we barely saw the ML. There are very few interactions between the leads. The side characters have more screen time and dialoge than Ko Kyung-Pyo. That is kinda disappointing. I was hoping for more bickering and tension between the leads.

Rosalie Feb 08 2026 10:43 am Even Park Shin Hye could not save this ridiculous drama. Too slow. Might have stayed for 12 episodes. Boring and drawn out.

FloweRain Feb 05 2026 11:50 am good script good acting, but second male lead syndrome >.<

AMAN Feb 02 2026 3:56 pm People suspecting Albert Oh is Yehppee but i highly doubt that..just think about this it is a 16 episode drama & as of only 6 episodes has been passed there is no way they will reveal the culprit this early.. culprit must be the guy people are least doubtful about.. my guesses are Lee Yong-Gi, Bang Jin-Mok or Choi In-Ja..

viola Feb 02 2026 10:40 am Spoiler . . . Hmm why do I have a feeling that Albert Oh is up to no good? In ep 6 at the end he was the one coordinating the thugs and also he just went on a date with miss hong to get to know what they discussed in the lift...

PANDORA Feb 01 2026 1:42 pm Albert is falling so hard, my heart is going to break so hard for him. :(

Tintin Feb 01 2026 11:51 am I think it's either Albert or Yong-Gi as Yeppee... also Jung-Woo might be there as a spy too... really loving this series!

Kdrama lover Jan 31 2026 12:09 pm The undisciplined child hiding in the dorm is annoying, not cute at all. I love children but her presence in the drama is not helpful unless she is the one to find out the identity of Yehpee (my guess is Go Bok-Hee).

Cha is Yeppi Jan 30 2026 12:07 pm As we all know, the actor who plays Cha Jung-il is a well known actor. There's no way that he's playing a small role in this drama. He must be Yeppee. Albert is also suspicious. The way he cares not for the company and how he asks the new CEO to play both sides, I have a feeling that he's Yeppee. He must've been fond of his uncle. He's definitely a wildcard entry. The secretary Song will eventually betray the Chairman, because she realised that the Chairman is using her merely as a hunting dog to clean his dirt works.

Un modeste admirateur Jan 29 2026 9:56 pm «Undercover Miss Hong» reminds me of British comedies with its mix of slapstick humor, police investigation and absurd situations. I may not be the biggest fan of British comedies, but I find them enjoyable enough in the winter season, with a hot drink in your hand, while you are reading an article or working on something. In other words, «Undercover Miss Hong» is not a drama that will fully require your attention. The main character not only dresses as a 20-year-old, but acts and behaves as one as well. Only her body is that of a 35-year-old. Therefore, I doubt that «Undercover Miss Hong» will make you think too deep or question, for example, the undue pressure put on women to appear and sound younger than their age. Instead, the show is meant to always stay cozy and cutesy, which it does.

Jillibean Jan 26 2026 6:01 pm Great cast, script seems promising. Our Park Shin Hye always picks interesting dramas. Can't believe I have been watching her in dramas since she was a young girl. Hope this one continues to be good.

AMAN Jan 26 2026 3:17 pm At the end of ep.04 it was definitely Kim Mi-Sook's daughter/son hiding there & it was her who ate Kang No-Ra's chocolate at night...She must be hiding her child there secretly...

albert Jan 26 2026 10:33 am Albert Oh is soo handsome in this series. hoping he is the main lead!

Julia Ngo Jan 25 2026 5:17 pm i doubt it but i hope they make albert x jang mi end game somehow. i didn't read the synposis so i was really hyped for albert with his first appearance just to be let down with jung woo T_T like don't get me wrong, i love kyung pyo but i was hoping for something different with this drama (although i can smell the predictability miles away...)

Daisy Jan 25 2026 5:17 pm i doubt it but i hope they make albert x jang mi end game somehow. i didn't read the synposis so i was really hyped for albert with his first appearance just to be let down with jung woo T_T like don't get me wrong, i love kyung pyo but i was hoping for something different with this drama (although i can smell the predictability miles away...)

Yeppee Jan 25 2026 5:00 pm I think yeppee is Yong Gi. Guy knows everything that goes on in the company. I also think he’s not as innocent as he looks. There’s more to him.

Kimberly Jan 25 2026 1:35 pm um..am i the only one who actually think that so gyeong dong is indeed yeppee.

Robert Oh Jan 25 2026 1:18 pm Joining in the fun. Yeppee is either Mi-Sook or Yong-Gi.

Wedd Jan 25 2026 2:40 am It's been entertaining so far w above average acting, but i wonder who thought anyone would believe that Park Shin hye is anywhere below 30 - she looked 30 even when she was in her 20s. Still a great actress tho.

Just Jan 24 2026 4:03 pm Yeppee is Albert oh ! I guess....

PANDORA Jan 24 2026 11:13 am It’s so obvious Lee Yonggi is Yephee. Helloooo he even looks like the character, glasses and all. He knows almost everything about the firm and in general very intelligent but awkward.

Andrea Jan 23 2026 4:44 am I need that song 'I wanna dance tonight' that they play at the newspaper stand to be released.. today... why can't I find it anywhere!!??

IknowYehpee Jan 22 2026 2:43 pm I think I know who Yehpee is... and that might be Kang Nora.

They purposely made her character innocent and dimwitted but something in my gut tells me she knows everything. Something as a revenge to her father who looks down on women or her. And I think she's close with her older half-brother previous president. I don't know lol just a feeling

Wonderwhy Jan 19 2026 11:46 pm Very predictable plots... old fashion not too undercover, not too over the top, not too... everything just hit the bottom requirement of anything.... and the acting so far.... honestly so so... psh have alot more better performance before than she had here!

Grasshopper Jan 19 2026 9:05 am Song Ju-Ran looks suspicious since the beginning, I put my bet on her she's the culprit behind the illegal fund to whatever her motives are

PANDORA Jan 18 2026 7:17 pm I want Albert Oh to be the main male lead. Ko Kyoung-pyo is a bit dull. Let’s see how it goes, it’s only been two episodes.

Yeypeee Jan 18 2026 11:48 am I can’t be the only one who’s hooked on this drama. I know the storyline isn’t something new,but there’s just something about this drama that makes it very exciting. Then I found out it’s the same director of Business Proposal. Now I know why each ep gets me glued to my screen.

SpidLineRec Jan 15 2026 12:04 pm I'm afraid our beloved Shin Yuna will only play a small supporting role... that makes me sad. :(

Jae Jan 13 2026 10:00 pm Jan. 14, 2026 // 10:51am

Came here coz of my bias ITZY Yunaaaaa! And ofcourse, PSH too. ☺

MN2026 Jan 12 2026 1:44 pm Is this KDrama has a Romance plot?

Badaya Dec 23 2025 12:19 am @aivlys agree with you ?

Badaya Dec 23 2025 12:18 am @Naomi Bella You haven't even seen this comedy drama, but your comments make it sound like you have. She doesn't play as a high school student. Just because the titled "Undercover" doesn't mean it's the same story or repeating.

aivlys Dec 19 2025 2:51 pm @Naomi Bella So how many different storylines can you tell? Everything repeats itself at some point, with minor changes and variations due to different locations and actors. That's the life of a drama, film, or music. What is important is to appreciate and enjoy the small changes. It sounds funny, and both lead actors excel in comedic roles.

Naomi Bella Jul 05 2025 3:22 am Kdrama and repeating storyline it’s just exactly like undercover high school

Best Kdrama of 2025 Jul 01 2025 1:56 am I can't wait for this to be aired and also to see Yuna (Itzy) debut's acting. I'm so excited!!! This is going to be so good.
