Synopsis

Legendary espionage agents give girl power a whole new meaning in this thrilling action comedy. Once part of South Korea's top secret National Intelligence Service, a group of talented female agents are reassigned to go undercover in a case involving corruption and leaked trade secrets at the country's largest conglomerate. After several mistakes during important missions, Baek Chan Mi (Choi Kang Hee) was reassigned to the cybersecurity team, but dreams of returning to her former role. Hwang Mi Soon has left agent life behind and became a full-time homemaker. Meanwhile, Lim Ye Eun, a smart single mom and desk agent dreams of being promoted to an undercover spymaster working in the field. Their lives collide when Don Kwan Soo, a longtime director in the NIS, recruits all three for a do or die mission.{{Citation|title=Good Casting {{!}} Rakuten Viki|url=https://www.viki.com/tv/36750c-good-casting|language=en|access-date=2021-04-23}}

Production

=Development=

The series is based on a screenplay which was one of the winners of the 2016 2H MBC Drama Screenplay Competition (miniseries category), alongside the 2019–20 SBS television series Hot Stove League.{{cite web|url=http://www.imbc.com/broad/tv/drama/2016_scenario2/notice2.html|title=2016 MBC 드라마 극본공모|website=iMBC|language=ko|accessdate=May 28, 2020}}

Early working title of the series is Miscasting ({{Korean|hangul=미스캐스팅|rr=Miseukaeseuting}}). Director Choi Young-hoon first wanted to name the series that way because the characters are miscasted for the operation, but he changed it to Good Casting as all three actresses showed good team work.{{cite web|last=Jung|first=Gyu-jin|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=047&aid=0002267390|title=오합지졸 멤버 모였는데... 제목이 '굿캐스팅' 된 이유|date=April 22, 2020|website=OhmyNews|publisher=Naver|language=ko|accessdate=May 27, 2020}}
