Based on an original BBC drama of the same name, "Undercover" depicts the story of an agent at the Agency for National Security Planning who has been hiding his identity for a long time and a human rights lawyer who became the first head of the agency for justice. The two main characters track down the truth against a huge force that holds and shakes the country.

Ji Jin-hee turns into Han Jeong-hyeon, an agent at the Agency for National Security Planning, who has been hiding his identity for a long time. Having abandoned his everything and lived as a fake, he is caught up in an uncontrollable whirlpool as his wife Choi Yeon-soo is nominated for the post of Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

Kim Hyun-joo leads the play as Choi Yeon-soo, a human rights lawyer who has lived for justice and truth. In recognition of her lifelong beliefs and abilities, she is nominated as the first head of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and is faced with the shocking truth that has been hiding.

Huh Joon-ho plays Lim Hyung-rak, head of the NIS' planning and coordination office, giving a strong impression. Lim Hyung-rak, who has an excellent sense of touch, is a strategist who knows how to seize opportunities, and Huh Joon-ho, who has charisma that cannot be encountered, is expected to unravel Lim Hyung-rak's character in his own color.

Jung Man-sik will play Do Yeong-geol, the head of the special team at the NIS' planning and coordination office. Do Yeong-geol is fearless for what he aims at.

Han Go-eun will make a drastic change by playing the role of Ko Yoon-joo, a former NIS agent. In the past, she was an undercover agent who had a relationship with Han Jeong-hyeon while carrying out operations.

Kwon Hae-yo plays the role of Oh Pil-jae, who selected Han Jeong-hyeon as an undercover agent at the Agency for National Security Planning. Called the 'casting director' of the Agency for National Security Planning, he is a humane character with extraordinary affection for Han Jeong-hyeon.

Park Geun-hyung will make a special appearance as Han Jeong-hyeon's father, Lee Man-ho, adding to the weight of the drama. Park Geun-hyung's deep acting provides a sense of immersion as a character that coordinates tension just with his presence.

There are many additional actors with strong inner skills. Lee Han-wi plays the role of Bae Goo-taek, an office manager, showing an unusual team play with Kim Jung-hyun. Lee Seung-joon will play the role of Kang Cheong-mo, senior presidential secretary for civil affairs, while Kim Soo-jin-IV will play the role of Min Sang-ah, a senior political journalist.

Son Jong-hak will play the role of lawmaker Yoo Sang-dong, Song Young-kyu will play the role of Seoul District Prosecutors' Office chief Kwak Moon-heum and Choi Kwang-il will play Hwang Jeong-ho, a long-time client of human rights lawyer Choi Yeon-soo.
