K-drama casting news about Park Shin-hye, Ahn Hyo-seop, Choi Min-sik and more
Rural and office-set romcoms are among the latest TV dramas announced and being cast in South Korea.
1. Miss Undercover Boss
Park Shin-hye and Go Kyung-pyo may reunite for the office comedy-drama Miss Undercover Boss. The two last shared the screen in the 2013 K-drama Flower Boy Next Door.
Set on the eve of the 1997 financial crisis that devastated the South Korean economy and led to International Monetary Fund intervention, the series will use as its location Yeouido, the skyscraper-dotted finance industry hub on an island in the Han River in Seoul.

Park, last seen in
The Judge from Hell , has been offered the part of Hong Geum-bo, a fearsome financial regulator in her thirties who goes undercover as a fresh high-school graduate just hired as an entry-level recruit at a Yeouido securities company.
Love in Contract star Go is circling the role of Shin Jung-woo, an ambitious corporate raider who becomes the new CEO of Hanmin Securities based on the island.
Miss Undercover Boss, which is aiming for a 2026 release on tvN, will be directed by Park Seon-ho (Business Proposal) and scripted by Moon Hyun-kung (Memorials).
2. Sold Out Again Today
Ahn Hyo-seop, Chae Won-bin and Kim Bum have been tapped to lead Sold Out Again Today for the broadcaster SBS, a romantic comedy based on a webtoon.
