Recap of Episodes 3 and 4: Tensions and Alliances
The last two episodes raised the stakes for Hong Geum-bo, played by Park Shin-hye. In Episode 3, titled “Right Under the Nose and in the Line of Fire,” Geum-bo’s undercover life as intern Hong Jang-mi grew more complex. Her investigation into the company’s slush funds became tangled with office politics and the watchful eyes of her colleagues in the employee dormitory.
Episode 4, “Sleeping with the Enemy,” saw these tensions come to a head. Geum-bo’s mission was directly challenged by the arrival of the new CEO, Shin Jung-woo, portrayed by Ko Kyung-pyo. Jung-woo is not only a shrewd corporate raider but also Geum-bo’s former lover, who immediately finds the new intern unsettlingly familiar. Furthermore, Geum-bo discovered that her roommate, secretary Go Bok-hee (Ha Yoon-kyung), is in possession of the very slush fund ledger she is searching for, creating a dangerous triangle of hidden agendas.

What to Expect in the Upcoming Episodes
While specific plot details for Episodes 5 and 6 are under wraps, the major conflicts are set. The central question is whether CEO Shin Jung-woo will see through Geum-bo’s youthful disguise and recognize the woman from his past. Geum-bo must also navigate her precarious alliance with Bok-hee, who holds a key piece of evidence but has her own secret history of embezzlement.
The series is set in 1997 Seoul, a period of significant financial turmoil in South Korea, which adds a layer of historical context to the corporate corruption plot. The show blends workplace comedy with elements of crime and drama, as Geum-bo deals with the absurdities of entry-level corporate life while secretly conducting a high-stakes investigation.
