Jin Ki-joo was assaulted by an assailant.
In the 8th episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Undercover High School' (planned by Nam Gung-seong-woo, written by Lim Young-bin, directed by Choi Jeong-in, produced by Neo Entertainment and Slingshot Studio, hereafter 'Under School'), the process of Jeong Hae-sung (played by Seo Kang-joon) and Oh Soo-a (played by Jin Ki-joo) uncovering a grade manipulation incident was depicted. The viewership rating that day was 6.1% according to Nielsen Korea's nationwide household standards. In particular, the scene where Soo-a confronted the assailant at Hae-sung's house soared to 8.5%, providing extreme tension to the viewers. Additionally, the 2049 viewership rating, a key indicator of channel competitiveness and topic popularity, recorded 2.7%, attracting hot reactions from drama fans.
In the broadcast yesterday, Hae-sung became confused as he realized that he was being used by Seo Myeong-joo (played by Kim Shin-rok) and that there was a mole within the National Intelligence Service.
Meanwhile, after much contemplation, Soo-a accessed a link written on a business card dropped by Han Seung-jae (played by Lee Hyun-soo) and was shocked to discover a list of grade manipulation specifications targeted at VIP students. Lee Ye-na (played by Kim Min-ju) was also shocked to learn that she had benefited from this to reach her position. Upon finding out that Myung-joo was aware that Soo-a had accessed the link on the business card, Myung-joo issued a warning, and when Seung-jae spoke ill of his daughter Ye-na in front of him, he repeatedly slapped him, creating goosebumps. In this scene, Kim Shin-rok's presence and passionate performance heightened the immersion of the drama while taking the viewers' breath away.
Soo-a informed Hae-sung of this fact, predicting that it would also affect ordinary students including Ahn Yu-jeong (played by Park Se-hyun), and they decided to investigate the grade manipulation incident together. The two uncovered that Myung-joo was receiving benefits from the parents of students in exchange for manipulating grades. Curious about how Hae-sung and Soo-a would prevent this escalating incident and how their confrontation with Myung-joo would unfold increased the anticipation.
Amid this, another crisis struck Hae-sung. He could no longer remain at school after a command to cease operations was issued. Hae-sung grew suspicious of the incident occurring immediately after he began investigating the grade manipulation incident and approached Myung-joo, pretending to know about the fourth rumor to remain at school.
At the end of the broadcast, Soo-a, having learned that Lee Joon-ho (played by Noh Jong-hyeon) was involved in the grade manipulation incident, went to Hae-sung's house. However, moments later, Soo-a was found collapsed and bleeding, which heightened the drama's tension to its peak. Who targeted Soo-a and what hidden twist lies behind this event was left as a tantalizing cliffhanger, delivering a strong impact in the 8th episode.
In this way, the 8th broadcast featured another incident of grade manipulation, prompting Hae-sung and Soo-a to step forward to uncover the truth. However, with the cease operations order and the crisis of Soo-a's assault looming, developments became unpredictable, tightening viewers' hearts.
