## Synopsis

Love in Disguise (2026-present) is a South Korean tvN romantic comedy thriller series created by Moon Soo-jeong for tvN, a Korean drama with a suspenseful edge. Taekang Group's heir Yoon Yi-jun (Yim Si-wan) is the prime suspect in a shocking murder, and Kang Jae-hee (Seorina) goes undercover as a male secretary to keep close watch on him. Her engine is simple and stubborn: she needs the truth, but every shared late night, every forced proximity, and every chaperoned meeting tempts both of them toward feelings they cannot name. Yi-jun is hiding a secret of his own, so each clue they uncover puts more pressure on their disguises. The story unfolds across a single twelve-episode season, mixing corporate intrigue inside a family conglomerate with the playful deception of a gender bender premise. Its tone is breezy and witty at its core, yet the investigation keeps a psychological tension running beneath the romance. Set in present-day Seoul, the series is a glossy, character-driven drama. Viewers who love the disguise comedy of Coffee Prince and the crafted suspense of Mr. Queen will find a similar pleasure in deception, longing, and slow reveals.
