In episodes 5 and 6, aired last week, Hong Geum-bo (played by Park Shin-hye) embarks on a project for Hanmin Securities' elite employee program to uncover the truth behind slush funds. She discovers the heartbreaking past of Go Bok-hee (Ha Yoon-kyung) and the suspicious actions of Albert Oh (Jo Han-gyeol). Park Shin-hye seamlessly transitions between the 'Yeouido Witch' Hong Geum-bo and her undercover persona Hong Jang-mi, delivering a perfect blend of comedy, poignant backstory, and action. Her nuanced performance convincingly completes the drama's setting. Park's solid acting skills, honed through various genres like romantic comedy, melodrama, historical, fantasy, and action, are shining brightly. The portrayal of Geum-bo disguised as Jang-mi, armed with 35 years of life experience, offers a second-life charm, while her fight against societal inequality provides a refreshing cathartic experience.
