'Undercover High School' is based on a fresh concept of a National Intelligence Service agent becoming a high school student to search for gold bullion, showcasing the charming chemistry between Seo Kang-joon and Jin Ki-joo, as well as a showdown with Kim Shin-rock, capturing a diverse array of stories. The production team pointed out the anticipated viewing points that will heighten the curiosity of prospective viewers.
#'Of course, Seo Kang-joon' Seo Kang-joon's visual, action, and comedic three-play extravaganza parade
'Undercover High School' is expected to showcase not only Seo Kang-joon's jaw-dropping visuals but also magnificent action and delightful comedic moments, leading to the sentiment of 'Seo Kang-joon did it all.' In particular, Seo Kang-joon's fearless action performances and his willingness to go comical are also worth watching. His dazzling acting transformation is anticipated to lighten the drama's heavy atmosphere.
#Undercover VS high school! A fierce battle surrounding the whereabouts of the gold bullion
In the drama, Jung Hae-sung (played by Seo Kang-joon) receives a mission to find gold bullion worth 800 billion won hidden in Byeongmun High School. Disguised as a high school student for an undercover investigation, he narrows down the investigation based on the suspicious old school building and the eerie rumors circulating within the school. The school's chairman, Seo Myeong-joo (played by Kim Shin-rock), finds Hae-sung's actions suspicious and engages in a fierce confrontation. Will Hae-sung, as a National Intelligence Service agent, be able to complete the mission without having his identity uncovered, and what schemes will Myeong-joo devise to protect her interests? These questions ignite limitless imagination.
#Seo Kang-joon, Jin Ki-joo, Kim Shin-rock + impressive supporting cast
From the moment Hae-sung enters the school, he experiences a series of tumultuous days. He steps up to address school violence and academic misconduct whenever incidents arise, with his homeroom teacher, Oh Soo-ah (played by Jin Ki-joo), joining in to get involved in various matters. Myeong-joo, who sees them as a thorn in her side, closely watches their movements. As the episodes progress, their tug-of-war is expected to intensify, and the intricately intertwined encounters of these characters will heighten the tension of the drama. Additionally, the diverse personalities of Jeon Bae-soo (played by Ahn Seok-ho), Yoon Ga-i (played by Park Mi-jeong), Kim Min-joo (played by Lee Ye-na), and Park Se-hyun (played by Ahn Yoo-jeong) join in.
#A drama that transcends generations and genders
Seo Kang-joon's action performances, the seamless portrayal by Jin Ki-joo as 'Soo-ah teacher', and the chilling villainous role by the acclaimed actor Kim Shin-rock are all thrown into the mix. However, the ironic backdrop of a National Intelligence Service ace agent becoming a high school student for undercover investigation makes the entire situation comedic. The key point is that it is a 'meal friend' drama that families can gather around and enjoy together with laughter, rather than a suspenseful and heavy mystery.
Meanwhile, 'Undercover High School' is set to air not only on existing OTT platform Wavve but also on Tving after MBC's live broadcast, marking the first time for an MBC drama. It will premiere on the 21st (today) at 9:50 p.m.
