Filipina actress Noreen Joyce Guerra is leveling up Pinoy representation in the K-drama scene as she lands a key supporting role in the upcoming K-drama “Ms. Incognito,” starring Jeon Yeo Been and B1A4’s Jinyoung.
Despite appearing more than 100 times in K-dramas, this role is a milestone for Noreen as she gets to play Jenny, a Filipino character who becomes a source of support for Jeon Yeo Been’s Young Ran, a former bodyguard hiding under the identity of Bu Se Mi in a quiet countryside village.
“Being part of mainstream K-drama alongside such talented and respected actors truly feels like a dream come true,” she shared in a statement.
What makes it even more special is that it’s the first time she gets to portray a Filipino character in a Korean series.
“I’m incredibly grateful to our director and writer for trusting me with this role and giving me the opportunity to represent Filipino talent in Korean drama,” she said, adding that she’s excited for fans to see Jenny’s evolving relationships with both Young Ran and Dong Min (played by Jinyoung).

“Ms. Incognito,” which starts airing on Sept. 29, follows the story of Young Ran, a bodyguard who enters a contract marriage with a terminally ill chaebol heir. To protect him and his fortune, she takes on a new identity as Bu Se Mi, a kindergarten teacher in a remote town, all while hiding from those plotting against her.
Since moving to South Korea in 2015 for graduate studies, she has worked her way through the competitive entertainment industry, appearing in more than 100 dramas and films.
Her credits include hits like “True Beauty,” “All of Us are Dead,” “The Glory,” “Big Bet,” “The Killer’s Shopping List,” and “Hospital Playlist.”
