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'm not really into Korean dramas, but I highly recommend you to watch this.
If you like this, u should like undercover:
How's the drama: Cool actors, so much thrilling and good ending. No scene that make you so angry and so sad. The story are plenty of thrilling, easy, no drama (so much talking).
From this drama i concluded: 50% Action 35% Comedy 15% Romance
The action is good. The movement, strategy (part of story), etc.
The comedy, this is i like the most. Action + comedy sometimes makes you feel disgusting right? But, here make you laugh if you get it. (old people hard to find all jokes here)
A bit romance, if you wonder how's the romance goes like other romance drama, not here.
Overall, like the first sentence i wrote. It might be 9,8 Stars for this, because some little detail on shoot are missing (like the movement, you can't realize if you focus on story).
See you on my next review, bye!

I'm so so sad that this show is j 12 eps, it deserves 20 eps. I finished this show a week ago and i already have the urge to rewatch it again.
The story line, the dialogues and delivering chaotic energy in such a non-cringe and natural way i loveeed it istg. So so so good. I love chaotic shows and the element of the NIS agent to this show j makes it sm hotter for me alr istg.
I had actually never heard of seo kang joon before, but brothers and sisters i am already obessed w this man. He is so underrated i don't get why. His acting is so so so natural loved it. His character was so manly but pookie which is absolutely loved. What i love the most is eyes istg. The most beautiful eyes i have ever seen on a man to date, im not even kidding.
Jin ki joo, i love her too. Her character was so cute, i wanted to keep her in my pocket literally. Even she herself as an actress phenomenal and again so underrated.
The chemistry between jeong hae-seong and oh su-a was insane. Believe me when i tell you even their hands had chemistry.
Love this show, lowkey wanna lose all my memories and watch this masterpiece again.

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!

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'.
