Love in Disguise: The Premise
Yoon Yi Jun (Yim Si Wan) is an arrogant chaebol heir who becomes a murder suspect. While hunting for a new personal secretary, he picks Kang Jae Hee (Seol In Ah), a former special forces officer. He has no idea she’s actually a detective who has gone undercover to get close to him and find crucial evidence in the murder case.
That’s the delicious tension. She’s his protector and his investigator at once, and neither role can be dropped.
Protection, Kang Jae Hee Style
The new stills lean into comedy. As a rookie secretary, Jae Hee has no concept of moderation. She guards Yi Jun so closely that she practically gets in his face, making it hard to tell whether she’s protecting him or keeping him under surveillance. On paper she’s the perfect secretary, but her increasingly puzzling behavior adds plenty of humor.
She’s also bold and no-holds-barred. She’ll put her entire body on the line to get the job done, and while she always delivers results, her rough-around-the-edges methods make for an endearingly passionate work style.
What the Production Team Says?
The team invites viewers to watch what variables a special forces-trained detective will face when dealing with an arrogant third-generation chaebol heir in an employer-and-employee relationship. They also point to the fun yet precarious romance as the two bicker constantly, stay close and gradually grow closer.
Why This Drama Looks Promising?
| Ingredient | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Undercover identity | Built-in secrets and close calls |
| Enemies-to-closer dynamic | Constant bickering with growing feelings |
| Murder mystery | A thriller thread behind the romance |
| Comic tone | The “too close” protection keeps it light |
The question hanging over everything is what happens when the investigator starts caring about her suspect. We don’t yet know how the case will resolve, so expect twists.
