On April 8, tvN's new weekend drama 'Secret Audit', set to premiere on April 25, released character posters featuring the ace quartet of Haemu Group: Joo In-ah (played by Shin Hye-sun), Noh Gi-jun (played by Gong Myung), Jeon Jae-yeol (played by Kim Jae-wook), and Park Ah-jung (played by Hong Hwa-yeon).
'Secret Audit' is a thrilling romance between the charismatic audit manager Joo In-ah, who harbors a secret, and Noh Gi-jun, the ace of the audit team who is suddenly demoted to handle internal misconduct (PM). The drama unfolds the intriguing reversal romance between Joo In-ah, who meticulously audits and falls deeply in love, and Noh Gi-jun, along with the amusing and sometimes poignant struggles of the problematic audit team 3 investigating internal misconduct. Directed by Lee Soo-hyun of 'The Black Dragon' and written by Yeon Ho of 'Scandal', with creator Yang Hee-seung, the drama promises high quality.
Noh Gi-jun's character poster is equally intriguing. Staring intently through the glass, the phrase 'ace of the audit team uncovering the boss's secret' hints at the tumultuous relationship reversal with Joo In-ah, who brought a storm to his otherwise smooth life. Once on the verge of promotion in the prestigious audit team 1, Noh Gi-jun's unexpected demotion to the problematic audit team 3 with Joo In-ah's unpredictable entry raises curiosity about the changes ahead.
Vice Chairman Jeon Jae-yeol's deep and relaxed gaze adds excitement. His noble charisma, visible even through the glass, contrasts with the phrase 'vice chairman hiding loneliness in perfection', creating a mysterious tension. Despite appearing to have it all, curiosity arises about the hidden wounds and true feelings he conceals.
Park Ah-jung, Jeon Jae-yeol's secretary, also stands out. Often distracted during work, the phrase 'secretary hiding mystery at the end of a secretive gaze' raises anticipation about who captures her attention. Known as the office goddess, Park Ah-jung, who never easily opened her heart, faces a significant change upon meeting someone who becomes her unconditional support.
Anticipation and interest are high for the chemistry between Shin Hye-sun, Gong Myung, Kim Jae-wook, and Hong Hwa-yeon. Shin Hye-sun shared, “The filming set was always harmonious. I could shoot comfortably and enjoyably in a relaxed atmosphere.” Gong Myung added, “The good atmosphere naturally led to teamwork. It was always enjoyable meeting with Kim Jae-wook and Hong Hwa-yeon.”
Kim Jae-wook expressed, “The actors and staff all had great chemistry, making every visit to the set light and cheerful. I am grateful to the director for creating a set I always wanted to go to.” Hong Hwa-yeon added, “Thanks to the seniors' kindness, I quickly adapted on set, and the good atmosphere helped me confidently portray 'Park Ah-jung's' inner character.”
