Suh Kang-jun faced shocking truths while pursuing the reality of a rumor.
The MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Undercover High School' (planned by Namgung Seong-woo, written by Lim Young-bin, directed by Choi Jeong-in, hereafter referred to as 'Under School') episode 7 depicted the struggles of Jung Hae-seong (played by Suh Kang-jun) and Oh Soo-ah (played by Jin Ki-joo) as they searched for the truth behind the third rumor. The viewership rating for that day reached 6.8%, according to Nielsen Korea's nationwide household standard, leading to an upward trend. Notably, the epilogue scene where Hae-seong's real name was revealed to be Jung Si-hyun, and he told his father that his other name would be Hae-seong, saw a spike to 8.6%. Furthermore, the 2049 viewership rating, a key indicator of channel competitiveness and topicality, recorded 2.4%, garnering intense interest from drama fans.
In the episode aired yesterday, Hae-seong smiled when he learned that Soo-ah was his first love, Oh Bong-ja. He reminisced about his childhood memories with Bong-ja, while Soo-ah, pretending to be a friend in conversation with a colleague, mentioned anecdotes about Hae-seong, igniting a mutual romance.
Meanwhile, agents from the National Intelligence Service's domestic team 4 uncovered that the school song recorded by Hae-seong was a four-hand arrangement of the school anthem while investigating the third rumor. To acquire clues for the rumor, the two had to perform the school song together. While looking for performers, Soo-ah joined in, initiating close cooperation between domestic team 4 and her. Notably, Hae-seong and Soo-ah displayed perfect teamwork to obtain the fingerprint of Principal Park Jae-moon (played by Park Jin-woo), necessary for disabling the security system in the chairman's office.
Amid this, the sweet moments between Hae-seong and Soo-ah caused heart flutters among viewers. Hae-seong, while being conscious of Soo-ah sitting close, inadvertently pressed the wrong piano key. While practicing a technique to subdue an opponent, he ended up in a back hug, bewildered and disoriented. Hae-seong quickly went to the bathroom and shouted at himself to regain his composure, providing a humorous moment.
The long-awaited 'Night of the Hospital Visitation' event day has arrived. On this day, Koh Young-hoon (played by Jo Bok-rae), disguised as the server for the event, went to the electrical room while Seong Myeong-joo (played by Kim Shin-rok) was separately gathered with parents and shut down the power to the electrical generator. Amid the blackout, Hae-seong and Soo-ah attempted to move to the chairman's office, but the electricity was restored quicker than expected, putting them in a crisis of operational failure. To manage the situation, Park Mi-jung (played by Yoon Gai) and Young-hoon performed a desperate skit and boldly kissed to divert the attention of the security personnel, eliciting laughter.
Thanks to Mi-jung and Young-hoon buying time, Hae-seong and Soo-ah safely arrived in front of the chairman's office. However, they found themselves in a situation where they had to engage in a scuffle with security personnel. Having even trained their physical strength, the two joined forces to overpower the agents and successfully entered the chairman's office, providing a moment of catharsis.
At the end of the broadcast, Hae-seong faced a shocking truth. After failing to play the school anthem due to a key problem, the two decided to leave the chairman's office in haste. While deleting access records from Myung-joo's computer, Hae-seong discovered a file named 'Operational Plan_Undercover High School,' which contained not only the event operation strategy but also Hae-seong's personnel record card, sending chills down his spine. As it was revealed that Myung-joo had known everything, curiosity rises about how their confrontation will unfold in the future.
Thus, episode 7 captivated viewers with a variety of stories, from the exciting moments of Hae-seong and Soo-ah to their pursuit of the rumor. Additionally, the story's repeated twists and turns sparked astonishment, ramping up anticipation for the next episode.
