Secret Thanks, Unexpected Hit

The tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Secret Audit' has captured viewers' attention by showing an upward trend in viewership ratings just two episodes after its premiere.

The drama 'Secret Audit' delivered more fun than expected by synergizing its unique subject matter of an "inappropriate conduct audit" within a company, diverse character portrayals, witty dialogue from the writer, and the director's stylish direction. In particular, the "rival chemistry" between Shin Hye-sun and Gong Myung successfully captured viewers' hearts by evoking cheerful laughter.

Viewer reactions were also fervent. The second episode of 'Secret Audit' recorded a peak viewership rating of 7.7% (based on Nielsen Korea's paid platform/Seoul metropolitan area), ranking first in its time slot among cable and general programming channels. Furthermore, it announced a strong start by ranking third in the TV drama buzz index for the fourth week of April, released by Fндекс (FUNdex).

The released unreleased and behind-the-scenes stills capture the actors' passionate performances that captivated viewers in just two episodes. Shin Hye-sun, playing the principled audit team leader 'Joo In-ah', portrayed a three-dimensional character from her charismatic presence to her unpredictable, charming twists. She particularly heightened immersion by delicately expressing the hidden side of a character with a "secret secret."

Gong Myung also received praise for perfectly embodying the role of 'Noh Gi-joon'. He playfully depicted the struggles of 'Noh Gi-joon', who was demoted from an elite audit team to a problematic one, and his versatile acting, oscillating between comedy and seriousness, made viewers anticipate a "life character."
