Undercover High School

In this era of K-dramas like "Squid Game" and "All of Us Are Dead," sometimes we just need a breather, don't we? "Undercover High School" serves that purpose beautifully. As the title suggests, it follows the story of an NIS agent who goes undercover. The series is action-packed, fun, spontaneous, and intense, while also sprinkling in humor and a touch of romance.

The acting is top-tier, and the chemistry between the leads is captivating. It has been a while since we've had characters with such distinct antagonistic roles, making it interesting to watch the events unfold. My only complaint is that it was too short-only 12 episodes, oh my gosh! The drama struggled to focus on the couples, but I still craved and enjoyed their screen time together so much! Hae-song was literally born to play this role.

It's definitely worth a watch, period. Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope you enjoy the series and have a wonderful day!

I have just finished ep4. The pace is fast and the story is unfolding better and better. It wouldn't be a very thrilling detective story as the plot is kind of expected at the moment. But it's an "easy-going" drama with a mix of everything: fun, romance, thriller... School bullying is a frequent element appearing in kdrama, and this one has quite a good depiction. It will make you feel lighter after watching it, or it will make your eyes filling with tears.

Plus Seo Kang Joon is my favourite actor so it's a must watch for myself!

I will recommend it to you too!

10 all around! Has suspense, mystery, action, romance, comedy and the cutest ML who is doing a great job playing an elite agent and undercover student in an elite high school. Finally, the FL is a match for the ML (cute and an equal, confident). Great job in casting.

This series takes you on an emotional roller coaster as the ML also has his own secret mission - and that is to not fail his dad who was also an elite agent and has been missing for 20 years.

Of course the high school does have some bullying and the way the ML handles it is heart warming - great script.

One last note is that this drama is easy going and NOT too violent - very easy to watch but at the same time thrilling scenes.

It's been a while since a series hooked me this much. I've been eagerly waiting each week for new episodes and didn't feel disappointed even once.

Great blend of different genres - action, adventure, comedy, romance and all of them so well written. Jin Ki-joo and Seo Kang-joon truly brought their characters to life and their chemistry is of the charts.

There is many kdrama cliches in the story which I often find bothersome but they are so well introduced that felt very natural.

The main story is fast paced and I wish there was more time to dive into some dinamics between characters or side stories but I guess it was impossible with 12 ep.

Overall a must watch!

Starring Seo Kang Joon and Jin Ki Joo, Undercover High School is a action drama that happens within a school, as the name suggests. With giving any spoilers, the drama starts strong, with some suspense and twists, good action and mature storytelling. The first half is engaging, although there are unserious moments at times.

While the start was strong, the second half of the show falters to some extent, as there was not much fun left to the premise. I won't say the show is skippable, but it surely doesn't have a rewatch value.

While the show is a mystery-spy themed, the drama also focuses on tougher subjects like school bullying, student hierarchies, and the politics which govern the lives of both students and teachers.

A little romance with comedy elements in regular intervals somehow keeps the drama balanced. Maybe not strongly recommended as there are better dramas in this genre, but Undercover High School is a fun and watchable drama that does silly and clever things simultaneously.

3 stars for 'Undercover High School'.
