'Cheongdam International High School 2' presents more interesting viewing points and differentiates itself from the previous work.
The new drama 'Cheongdam International High School 2' (directed by Lim Dae-woong and Park Hyung-won, written by Kwak Young-im), which will be first released on domestic OTT at 5 p.m. tomorrow (3rd), is a high-teen psychological thriller drama mixed with a power game and youth romance occurring at the elite school Cheongdam International High School.
'Cheongdam International High School 2' is creating a buzz even before its broadcast with a cast of unique actors including Lee Eun-sam, Kim Ye-rim, Kim Min-kyu, and Lee Jong-hyuk, and the collaboration of recognized directors Lim Dae-woong and Park Hyung-won along with writer Kwak Young-im, known for providing extreme immersion. With the first release just a day away, we explored some interesting viewing points today (2nd).
First, in Season 1, a person surnamed Haein (played by Lee Eun-sam) accidentally witnesses the fall accident of Kim Hae-in (played by Jang Seong-yoon) and transferred to Cheongdam International High School on the condition of concealing this incident. Here, Haein, entangled with the school's top power group 'Diamond 6' queen Baek Je-na (played by Kim Ye-rim), engages in a fierce psychological battle while also getting closer to the truth behind the mysterious fall accident. Near the end of Season 1, another fall accident occurs in front of Haein, and the awakening of the previously unconscious Haein amplifies curiosity towards Season 2.
# Friends? Adversaries? The unyielding psychological battle between Lee Eun-sam and Kim Ye-rim begins its second act!
'Cheongdam International High School 2' brings back the peculiar relationship between Haein and Je-na. The two, who delicately navigated between friends and foes, allies and rivals, will unfold a complex and subtle psychological game in this season.
Especially noteworthy this season is that while keeping a wary eye on each other, Haein and Je-na actively confront their emotions and situations rather than waiting for someone's choice, which adds intrigue to their narratives. Additionally, the genuine feelings and subtle emotional shifts revealed within their intertwined relationship are expected to maximize viewer immersion.
# A new face that will change the dynamics of the play: Kim Min-kyu, Won Kyu-bin, and Oh Ji-ho join!
'Cheongdam International High School 2' is adding numerous new characters that will change the existing narrative. The new transfer student Cha Jin-wook (played by Kim Min-kyu), the newly joined freshman Lee Sa-rang (played by Won Kyu-bin) in 'Diamond 6', and the new chairman Seo Hee-gwon (played by Oh Ji-ho), who can do anything for the school, will intertwine with Haein and Je-na, creating waves in the drama.
# Romance blooming on thin ice
'Cheongdam International High School 2' enriches the emotional lines with romances blooming in different manners. Haein's clingy love for a younger man, Jin-wook becoming Je-na's fiancé, and Seo Do-eon (played by Lee Jong-hyuk), full of lingering feelings for Haein, lead the romance. The intriguing blend of excitement and comfort, coupled with tension and crisis, raises curiosity about how these romances will integrate into the work.
# The gathering of desires: Cheongdam International High School
'Cheongdam International High School 2', with an expanded worldview and deepened character narratives, showcases a fierce tension created by the desires and secrets each character harbors. While Season 1 centered around Haein's growth and the Kim Hae-in incident, Season 2 will delve into how each character rearranges their relationships and survives within a crumbling order.
Especially, the power structure of 'Diamond 6', which seemed solid, is gradually shaking, leading to new conflicts. The emergence of new faces disrupts the existence of existing characters, providing an unpredictable tension. This season, where entangled desires and interests are intricately drawn, is ready to captivate existing fans as well as new viewers.
Meanwhile, 'Cheongdam International High School 2' will be released on Netflix, Wavve, Tving, etc., at 5 p.m. on the 3rd (Thursday), and the first two episodes will be aired together at 12:10 a.m. on the 4th (Friday) on the general programming channel MBN.
