Rural and office-set romcoms are among the latest TV dramas announced and being cast in South Korea.

1. Miss Undercover Boss

Park Shin-hye and Go Kyung-pyo may reunite for the office comedy-drama Miss Undercover Boss. The two last shared the screen in the 2013 K-drama Flower Boy Next Door.

Set on the eve of the 1997 financial crisis that devastated the South Korean economy and led to International Monetary Fund intervention, the series will use as its location Yeouido, the skyscraper-dotted finance industry hub on an island in the Han River in Seoul.
