There’s something irresistible about a series set in the ‘90s. Add some undercover hijinks and a slow-burn romance into the mix, and it’s no wonder that Undercover Miss Hong is currently trending.
Available to stream on Netflix, the Korean dramedy has already spent three weeks on the platform’s global Top 10. With 1.4 views amassed over the last few days, its popularity shows no sings of fading. Could that mean that a second season is on the way?
Undercover Miss Hong Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no news about a potential Undercover Miss Hong season 2.
While Netflix viewership numbers are good, the title is listed as a limited series. Plus, Korean productions tend to be a one-and-done affair. In other words, it looks like one season is all we’re going to get.

What Is Undercover Miss Hong About?
At its heart, Undercover Miss Hong is a workplace comedy-thriller. Set in the late 1990s, it follows elite financial crimes investigator Hong Geum-bo. Known for her uncompromising methods, she’s assigned to investigate suspicious slush-fund activity tied to one of the country’s most powerful financial firms.
When the case risks being buried, Geum-bo takes on an extreme mission: she infiltrates the company, posing as a 20-year-old rookie employee under the alias Hong Jang-mi. As she navigates office politics, she also secretly gathers evidence of corruption.
Her operation becomes complicated when she encounters Shin Jung-woo, the company’s new CEO and her former lover. Soon, he begins to suspect that the new hire resembles someone from his past.
The series mixes workplace antics with the corruption story and romance well. Each new installment adds to the tension, while also delivering laughs. Undercover Miss Hong season 2 might not happen, but there are still more episodes to go, with the finale scheduled for early March. We’re excited to see how the story wraps up.
