Actress Park Shin-hye is making her return.

Her comeback project, tvN's new drama **'Undercover Miss Hong'**, has confirmed its broadcast schedule for January, taking the lead as the first tvN weekend drama of 2026.

'Undercover Miss Hong' is a highly anticipated work that has changed its original title from **'Miss Undercover Boss'** and is preparing for its first broadcast in the new year.

Park Shin-hye taking on the 'title role' once again has garnered significant attention from drama fans. This project is expected to be a crucial turning point in her career.

She will be challenging herself with the office comedy genre, showcasing both her serious acting and comedic charm, revealing a new side of Park Shin-hye.

According to a report by IZE on the 22nd, tvN's new drama 'Undercover Miss Hong' has confirmed its broadcast schedule for January. The original title, 'Miss Undercover Boss,' has been finalized as 'Undercover Miss Hong.'

The title change is not merely a change of name. It is also a decision to adjust the planning intention and tone and manner, and to clarify the direction of the drama.

'Undercover Miss Hong' is a chaotic office comedy about **Hong Geum-bo (Park Shin-hye), an elite supervisor from the Financial Supervisory Service**, who goes undercover as a new employee to track down suspicious funds.

Park Shin-hye has previously played serious characters in melodrama and human dramas, but this time, she returns as a cheerful and refreshing female character. This is why expectations are high for her acting transformation.

Another strength of this work is its cast. In addition to Park Shin-hye, Go Kyung-pyo, Jo Han-gyeol, Kim Hyung-muk, and Ha Yoon-kyung have confirmed their appearances. They will each add depth to the play with their unique personalities.

Go Kyung-pyo will play a sly finance team senior, and Ha Yoon-kyung is foreshadowing a tense 'womance' chemistry with Park Shin-hye.

The production team is also strong. Director Park Sun-ho, writer Moon Hyun-kyung, and production companies Celltrion Entertainment and Studio Dragon are in charge. This combination already raises expectations for a blend of 'romance + social satire + office comedy' genres.

This is why 'Undercover Miss Hong' is called a 'production team combination to trust and watch' even before its broadcast.

'Undercover Miss Hong,' which will be the first tvN weekend drama of 2026, is more than just a programming meaning; it is a position that continues the flow of tvN's weekend hits.

In the second half of this year, tvN reignited the success of weekend dramas through Im Yoon-ah's 'Tyrant's Chef' and Lee Jun-ho's 'Typhoon Company.' The work that takes over this baton as the first runner of the new year is Park Shin-hye's 'Undercover Miss Hong.'

'Undercover Miss Hong' has confirmed its broadcast schedule for January, following 'Pro Bono' starring Jung Kyung-ho, and the first broadcast date is currently under detailed discussion. Viewers are already showing great interest, saying, "It will be the pinnacle of tvN's weekend lineup."

Interestingly, 'Undercover Miss Hong' is also scheduled to air at the same time as **KBS 2TV's new weekend drama 'Loving Thief,'** forming a showdown between Park Shin-hye and Nam Ji-hyun.

'Loving Thief' is a romance fantasy historical drama starring Moon Sang-min and Nam Ji-hyun, and its first broadcast has been confirmed for January 3rd. As a result, 'Undercover Miss Hong' will jump into the 9 PM weekend competition despite its slightly later first broadcast.

Park Shin-hye and Nam Ji-hyun are both considered 'trustworthy female leads,' so their viewership battle is already heating up the interest of fans.

Among drama fans, there is a reaction that "tvN and KBS are having a head-to-head match with female lead-centered dramas."

Park Shin-hye boasts nearly 20 years of acting experience, but this work heralds a new change among them. She has previously been active in works centered on serious and internal characters, but in 'Undercover Miss Hong,' she appears as a more active and realistic character.

In the realistic setting of a 'company,' she elicits both pleasant laughter and empathy while working undercover as a new employee. Her new appearance will be a 'turning point as an actress.'

Park Shin-hye said in an interview, "I want to bring laughter to viewers with a character that is a bit light but sincere." As she said, this work is expected to be a comedy with sincere laughter.

'Undercover Miss Hong' is tvN's first work of 2026 and will present viewers with a 'first weekend where laughter and empathy coexist.' This work is not just an office comedy but is being evaluated as a human drama that pleasantly unravels the realistic aspects of modern society.

When wit, empathy, and Park Shin-hye's unique stable acting are combined, the synergy will surely be the first box office signal of 2026. Viewers are already unable to hide their expectations and excitement with just the title 'Park Shin-hye's comeback work.'
