Seong-kang Joon becomes embroiled in an assault dispute.
In the second episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Undercover High School" (planned by Namgoong Seongwoo/written by Im Youngbin/directed by Choi Jeongin/produced by Neo Entertainment, Slingshot Studio), scheduled to air today at 9:50 p.m., Jung Haeseong (played by Seong-kang Joon) not only gets into a fistfight with a classmate but also creates misunderstandings with Oh Soo-ah (played by Jin Ki-joo), leading to an awkward situation.
In the previous first episode, Haeseong, an ace agent of the National Intelligence Service, pursued those attempting to smuggle the important cultural property, the Buddha statue, and during the process, a bullet fired missed its target, damaging the cultural property. As a result, Haeseong faced the risk of being fired but was given another chance with a mission to find gold bullion worth 800 billion won hidden in Byeongmung High School. Disguised as a high school student for an undercover investigation, Haeseong experienced unexpected school life, capturing the viewers' interest.
The audience rating for the first episode recorded 5.8% based on households in the metropolitan area, with a scene where Haeseong suspiciously inspected an electric meter while looking around the old building soaring to 6.4%. Additionally, the rating for the 2049 demographic was 2.0%, ranking first in the Friday-Saturday drama category and generating buzz. Viewers reacted enthusiastically, saying, "Seong-kang Joon's looks did it," "A drama that's funny and cool," "Haeseong and Soo-ah's chemistry is so funny," and "Seong-kang Joon's acting has improved," expressing a hot response of 'Seong-kang Joon did it all.'
In today's broadcast, Haeseong hears a rumor circulating at school from his classmate Lee Dong-min (played by Shin Jun-hang). This rumor is said to be related to the old building that Haeseong is investigating. Additionally, after watching a video taken by Dong-min in the old building, Haeseong becomes alert.
When the two are deeply engrossed in conversation, Park Tae-soo (played by Jang Seong-beom) appears and starts to provoke Dong-min. After watching the situation for a while, Haeseong cannot contain his anger and retaliates against Tae-soo. It leaves one curious about how Haeseong, ignoring the warning not to get involved in trivial matters, will handle the aftermath.
Meanwhile, after getting involved in a dispute, Haeseong is firmly marked by Soo-ah. From the very first day that Haeseong transferred to the school, Soo-ah began to spark suspicion towards him. Viewers are intrigued by how convoluted their relationship will become as there are no signs of it narrowing anytime soon.
Haeseong, who was dispatched to the school to find the whereabouts of the gold bullion, will lead a tumultuous school life entangled with the people around him beyond his given mission. It remains to be seen whether Haeseong can successfully achieve his objective and return to the National Intelligence Service, making today's second episode even more awaited.
"Undercover High School" airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
