Shin Hye-sun Shines in New Drama 'Secret Audit' with Impressive Performance

Shin Hye-sun, who showcased her exceptional acting skills in Netflix's 'Lady Dua' last February, is now making waves in her new project 'Secret Audit'. The drama started with a 4.4% viewership rating for its first episode and received positive reviews, climbing to 6.3% by the second episode.

On the 25th and 26th of last month, tvN's new weekend drama 'Secret Audit' aired its first and second episodes, where Shin Hye-sun left a strong impression as 'Joo In-ah', the head of the audit department at Haemu Group.

In the episodes, Joo In-ah makes her debut as the head of the audit department, instantly shaking up the office atmosphere. Known among employees by nicknames like 'Joo In-out', 'Joo Bak-ryeong', and 'Joo Knife', she commanded attention with her overwhelming presence. While she initially lightened the mood with a playful joke, asking, "Oh, which 'Joo' are you? Perhaps 'alcohol Joo'?", she quickly turned sharp and revealed her true nature as a relentless auditor.

In-ah assigned Noh Gi-jun (played by Gong Myung) as the PM (Problematic Misconduct) officer, establishing a tense superior-subordinate dynamic. She mocked Gi-jun's objections to the reassignment, asking, "What can you do, Noh? Do you have superpowers? Can you fly? Teleport? Shoot energy blasts?", providing viewers with a peculiar sense of satisfaction. Additionally, In-ah consistently provoked Gi-jun, adding to the entertainment. Notably, during a team dinner, she sang 'Fool', directly targeting Gi-jun, showcasing her charisma and comedic charm.

Shin Hye-sun perfectly transformed into the extraordinary 'Joo In-ah', capturing attention from the first broadcast. Her detailed portrayal of a realistic workplace superior not only invigorated the drama but also heightened engagement with her unique character interpretation. As Shin Hye-sun has already proven her presence from the first episode, anticipation builds for her future performances in 'Secret Audit'.

'Secret Audit' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM.
