The MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Undercover High School' (planned by Namgoong Seongwoo/written by Lim Yeongbin/directed by Choi Jeongin/produced by Neo Entertainment, Slingshot Studio) is keeping viewers captivated with its diverse stories that balance fun and tension. In particular, the second episode aired on the 22nd (Saturday) recorded a 2049 rating of 2.8%, ranking first among all dramas broadcast that day, a key indicator of channel competitiveness and topic relevance. Thus, we looked at the unique charm points of 'Undercover High School' that captivated viewers.
# Best meal friend! The acting parade of Seo Kang-joon and Jin Ki-joo shines in the time-flying moments.
'Undercover High School' captured attention completely with the compelling acting of Seo Kang-joon and Jin Ki-joo, along with immersive direction and original development from the first episode. In particular, the chemistry between Jeong Hae-seong (played by Seo Kang-joon) and Oh Soo-ah (played by Jin Ki-joo), as well as the comical scenes where they get intertwined at any moment, have led to it being called a 'meal friend,' where families can gather to laugh comfortably together, moving viewers to tears and laughter.
Hae-seong refers to his teacher Soo-ah as 'that one,' and when Soo-ah tries to fall towards him, he quickly dodges, making their meetings pure comic relief. Moreover, Hae-seong's efforts to adapt to school as a student by studying neologisms and trying to avoid getting into fights is also one of the fun points. As a result, viewers reacted with comments like, 'Hae-seong and Soo-ah's Tikitaka is real,' 'I like that I can watch it comfortably without using my head,' 'Hae-seong and Soo-ah are like Nick and Judy, like a husky and a Maltese,' and 'time flies just watching it.'
# Comic, action, thriller! A versatile unlimited genre feast.
'Undercover High School' maximizes the fun of the drama by blending comic, action, and thriller genres. In particular, when Hae-seong's fighting instincts are triggered and he hears blasphemous sounds like an auditory hallucination, and when Ahn Seok-ho (played by Jeon Bae-soo) appears in a monk's attire with a kind smile, it elicits big laughs. Furthermore, scenes where mysterious figures throw hammers and flee while unveiling school ghost stories related to the whereabouts of gold bullion and the appearance of skeleton bodies heightened the tension to its peak.
In addition, the action scenes featuring Seo Kang-joon drew admiration from viewers. Whether facing multiple opponents alone or deftly responding when Park Tae-soo (played by Jang Seong-beom) provokes him, the scenes left viewers in awe. Comments such as, 'I love the genre atmosphere,' 'the genre transitions are really seamless,' 'it transitions well between horror-comedy-horror,' and 'Seo Kang-joon's action is amazing' reflected their excitement.
# Exploding chemistry daily!
In the drama, Hae-seong and Soo-ah produce perfect chemistry with anyone they are with, enhancing the fun of the show. Right after transferring, Hae-seong gets involved with troublemaker Tae-soo, even getting scolded by his younger sister Ahn Yu-jeong (played by Park Se-hyun), while the process of getting close to Dong-min and hearing stories about school ghost stories also creates delightful chemistry moments.
Soo-ah, a temporary teacher, does not hesitate to take on unpleasant tasks to get in the good graces of Vice Principal Baek Gwang-du (played by Oh Yong), but she inadvertently removes his wig while drinking, and her attempts to avoid Gwang-du the next day trigger laughter. Viewers showed exciting responses such as, 'Hae-seong and Yu-jeong's chemistry is also fun,' 'I start laughing whenever Soo-ah and the vice principal appear,' and 'every character, main or supporting, has their own distinct presence.'
Meanwhile, in the third episode airing today, the 28th, Hae-seong finds himself in a crisis as a school violence committee is called. Moreover, as another ghost story is revealed, the story of Hae-seong's struggles to uncover it is expected to unfold, making today's broadcast even more anticipated.
'Undercover High School' ranked first in TV-OTT drama relevance for the third week of February, according to FUNdex, the official platform of Good Data Corporation. Additionally, Seo Kang-joon topped the cast relevance rankings, proving his high relevance.
'Undercover High School' episode 3 will air today at 9:50 p.m.
