Undercover Miss Hong OTT release date: When and where to watch Park Shin-hye’s crime comedy K-drama in India

Park Shin-hye knows how to make a comeback feel special. After a year that felt unusually quiet for fans who are used to seeing her on screen regularly, the actress is finally returning with a brand-new K-drama that promises mischief, mystery and plenty of laughs. Titled Undercover Miss Hong, the upcoming series marks her next major leading role. This time, Shin-hye is stepping into a character that is sharp, unpredictable and far removed from the familiar romantic leads she once ruled television with. Now it is gearing up for its release in India.

Streaming details of Undercover Miss Hong

The buzz around Undercover Miss Hong has been steadily building, especially among viewers who enjoyed Shin-hye’s strong back-to-back performances in Doctor Slump and The Judge from Hell in 2024. After taking a two-year break following the birth of her first child with actor-husband Choi Tae-joon, the actress returned with renewed confidence and versatility. While she had no new releases in 2025, her absence only heightened anticipation for what was coming next.



For Indian viewers waiting to mark their calendars, Undercover Miss Hong will stream globally on Netflix, making it easily accessible for K-drama fans in India. The crime-comedy series is set to premiere on January 17, 2026, and will unfold across 16 episodes. The release pattern follows a familiar K-drama format, with two episodes dropping every Saturday and Sunday, continuing until the finale airs on March 8, 2026.

In the drama, Park Shin-hye plays Hong Geum-bo, also known by the alias Hong Jang-mi, a highly skilled finance officer working on sensitive cases. Her mission takes an unexpected turn when she is forced to go undercover as a 20-year-old rookie employee at a securities firm. While the task sounds simple on paper, the reality proves far more chaotic.

More about Undercover Miss Hong

What sets Undercover Miss Hong apart is its tonal mix. The show leans heavily into crime and investigation, but never loses its sense of humour. Much of the comedy comes from Hong Geum-bo’s struggle to act her age at work, adapt to office trends she barely understands and survive awkward situations without blowing her cover. At the same time, the series builds suspense around the secrets buried within the company she is investigating, turning everyday office politics into something far more dangerous.

Adding another layer to the story is the drama’s romantic subplot. Actor Go Kyung-pyo stars opposite Park Shin-hye as a colleague who harbours one-sided feelings for her undercover persona. Their dynamic is expected to bring both tension and charm, especially as professional clashes, hidden identities and unspoken emotions collide within the same office space. The romance remains light-hearted.

The supporting cast further strengthens the series. Actors Ha Yoon-kyung and Cho Han-gyeol play key roles alongside a large ensemble that includes Kim Hyung-mook, Lee Deok-hwa, Kim Do-hyun, Im Chul-soo, Kang Chae-young, Choi Ji-su, Jang Do-ha and Park Min-hyun.
