In 'Undercover High School,' Seo Kang-jun and Kim Shin-rok engaged in a fierce battle of wits without a hint of retreat.
In the 9th episode of the MBC drama 'Undercover High School,' which aired on the afternoon of the 21st, Jung Hae-sung (played by Seo Kang-jun) and Oh Soo-ah (played by Jin Ki-joo) returned safely to school, while Seo Myung-joo (played by Kim Shin-rok), who had been under police investigation for corruption, reappeared, freezing everyone. On that day, the rating recorded 6.1% based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide households. In particular, the scene where Hae-sung and the students of Class 1-2 took group photos while cleaning the school soared to 9.1%, enhancing the warm atmosphere of the drama.
On that day, a shocking truth related to internal corruption was revealed. The assailant who attacked Soo-ah and the person involved in the school corruption was math teacher Lee Joon-ho (played by Noh Jong-hyun). Hae-sung discovered that Joon-ho had taken his father's notebook at the direction of Myung-joo, and although Joon-ho pleaded with Myung-joo to protect him, she coldly turned away, raising questions about whether Joon-ho could return to his former position.
The scene where Hae-sung dealt with Myung-joo's henchman Park Jae-moon (played by Park Jin-woo) was purely exhilarating. Park Mi-jung (played by Yoon Ga-i) and Koh Young-hoon (played by Jo Bok-rae), who were monitoring Joon-ho, witnessed him getting into Park Jae-moon's (played by Park Jin-woo) car and chased after him. However, before Hae-sung arrived, the two could not contain their overflowing zeal and confronted Jae-moon's gang but ended up being turned against, eliciting laughter. The late-arriving Hae-sung quickly resolved the situation, providing both tension and exhilaration.
To catch Myung-joo off guard, Hae-sung headed to the chairman's office where she was located. He asked why he had been chosen for this operation instead of someone else, and then pressured Myung-joo by showing her news of Joon-ho attending the police. Moreover, he cornered her by pulling out decisive evidence contained in a USB drive. Nevertheless, Myung-joo faced him with unwavering demeanor, and even in the situation where she had been cut off by Director General Kim (played by Lee Seo-hwan), she smiled chillingly, sending shivers down spines.
At the end of the broadcast, while a scholarship officer visited the school, Myung-joo and Jae-moon appeared together, shocking everyone. Myung-joo coldly greeted Soo-ah, creating a chilling atmosphere, while to Hae-sung she remarked, 'This student game stops here,' tearing off her name tag, escalating the tension between the two.
'Undercover High School' episode 9 drew viewers' immersion to new heights with Hae-sung and Myung-joo's efforts to get one step closer to the final tale. Although the internal corruption incident seemed to have settled with less disturbance within the school, Myung-joo's reappearance overwhelmed the atmosphere, heightening anticipation for the next broadcast.
'Undercover High School' episode 10 will air today (22nd) at 9:50 p.m.
