Undercover High School

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.

Korean Drama '' Undercover High School '' is a school mystery thriller with a strong comedic element.

The story is not that original, but the mystery is, and the comedy part was well handled, with enough funny scenes to lighten the mood. The mystery was also intriguing, it was well paced, and had smooth twists.

The romance, on the other hand, could have been omitted, as it didn't really add anything to the plot, and was half baked in the end, as the drama opted to focus more on the mystery, thankfully, and not on the love story.

Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

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!

Story: **** Cast: ***** Cinematography: ***** Fun: ***** (Five starts as full)

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'.
