First Impressions

Started watching #UndercoverMissHong, and Go Kyung-Pyo sounds like an elderly man. Loved watching psy's character being all cocky, was fun.

Something about #UndercoverMissHong is so 2016, like it gave all the side character a good amount of screen time till now, and some already became scene stealers! Also, the vibe just matches everything! Plus, the comedic timing and adventurous scenes are top-notch.

The first episode of Undercover Miss Hong was great. However I hate the father and that evil bi**h chief off staff already and can't wait for their downfall.

Finished #UndercoverMissHong I just tried it out of curiosity and infairness I like the show so far even tho it's kinda clichè. Can't wait for ep 3!!!

#UndercoverMissHong is AMAZING so far! This is such a fun show, and if you lived in the 90s, you're gonna love it even more. It's funny, badass, and the story is good. #ParkShinHye is bloody fantastic and sassy, but that's nothing new. The side characters are also great.

Episode 2 finished, it was so funny, I loved Yunas short scenes so much, i cant get enough of her role.

Can't wait for Ep 3. Hope the story gets even better & the ratings continue to rise. Fighting!!!
