Undercover High School delivered deep emotion and lingering resonance to the living room drama, achieving a successful conclusion.

In the 12th episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama Undercover High School (planned by Nam Goong-seongwoo/written by Lim Yeong-bin/directed by Choi Jeong-in/produced by Neo Entertainment, Slingshot Studio/ hereinafter referred to as Under School), the stories of Jung Hae-sung (Seo Kang-jun), who completed the mission to recover the gold bullion of Emperor Gojong, Oh Soo-ah (Jin Ki-joo), who fulfilled her dream of becoming a teacher, and Seo Myeong-joo (Kim Shin-rok), who was sentenced to life imprisonment, unfolded in a diverse manner and concluded with a happy ending.

In the broadcast on the 29th, Hae-sung, who had struggled to escape from a flipped car, received help from Soo-ah and regained stability. In a situation where a wanted notice was issued for the murder of Director Kim (Lee Seo-hwan), Hae-sung was unable to do anything and called the National Intelligence Service's Domestic Team 4 to his motel. Those who needed to find a USB containing evidence to oust Myeong-joo encountered police during their escape. While Team 4 bought time at the door, Hae-sung lured the police, and in the meantime, Soo-ah headed to the school to protect the children.

Unable to return home due to the wanted notice, Hae-sung used Team Leader Gong (Lim Cheol-hyeong). He stated that everything happening now was all caused by Myeong-joo and mentioned that evidence was in a USB at home. Believing Hae-sung's words, Team Leader Gong brought the USB, and Hae-sung immediately went to the police station to turn himself in and report Myeong-joo with the evidence.

Myeong-joo said that in order to minimize students' backlash, there would be no occurrence of academic misconduct, the abolition of scholarship systems, or tuition increases. However, at that moment, Ahn Yoo-jeong (Park Se-hyun) spoke up, asking why she had expelled Soo-ah, and soon after, other students also spoke out against Myeong-joo.

Meanwhile, as arrest warrants for Myeong-joo and Jae-mun were issued, National Intelligence Service's Domestic Team 4 went to the school to apprehend them. At that time, the school was engulfed in gasoline as the fire alarm went off and sprinklers activated, creating an atmosphere of fear as Myeong-joo stood precariously with a lighter. Hae-sung arrived at the school with a gun, approaching Myeong-joo, resulting in a tense standoff. Just then, Lee Ye-na (Kim Min-ju), who was returning home, came back and began to intervene with Myeong-joo.

As the breathless tension escalated, Myeong-joo aimed a gun at her own head, and when she pulled the trigger, Soo-ah threw herself in front of her and narrowly saved her. Thus, all situations concluded, and Myeong-joo and Jae-mun faced trial. Initially, Jae-mun claimed that everything was a unilateral decision, but with Hae-sung's persuasion, Myeong-joo was given a fitting punishment of life imprisonment.

The whereabouts of the hidden gold bullion were also revealed. Hae-sung discovered a star sticker that his father had placed in the rooftop room, suddenly recalling something, and peeled up the wooden floor with the sticker. There, he found gold bullion stamped with the royal seal of Emperor Gojong, evoking surprise. Additionally, at the end of the broadcast, Hae-sung confessed to Soo-ah and kissed her, thus the 'Hae-soo couple' left a thrilling atmosphere in the living room drama as it reached its conclusion.

Viewers who kept the remote fixed until the end reacted passionately, saying, "I didn’t expect Seo Kang-jun's chase action to be done so well," "I like that this drama starts and ends at school," "Soo-ah was a true teacher who protected the children until the end," "Seo Myeong-joo's madness is genuinely terrifying," "I got goosebumps when the gold bullion appeared," "The Ba-bo Team is comically consistent until the end," "The music and direction were thrillingly packed until the last moment," and "I'm glad the ending of Undercover High School ended this way."

Meanwhile, Undercover High School captivated the living room drama with its fast-paced development, fresh story of an undercover agent from the National Intelligence Service chasing the whereabouts of the gold bullion, and the diverse performances of the actors, concluding triumphantly with a happy ending.
