Eun-sam Lee's tumultuous school life comes to an end.
In the final episode of the drama 'Cheongdam International High School 2' (written by Kwak Young-im, directed by Lim Dae-woong and Park Hyung-won, produced by Why Not Media and Lian Contents), which will be released through major domestic OTT platforms at 5 p.m. on the 1st, Hae-in's choice shakes up the school ceremony.
Earlier, Hae-in stated that she would provide false testimony at the engagement ceremony and school 30th anniversary ceremony of Baek Je-na (Kim Ye-rim) and Cha Jin-uk (Kim Min-kyu) due to being unable to resist the threats from Min Yul-hee (Park Si-woo). Subsequently, Hae-in's ending, where she plans to confess the truth about the fall incident involving Kim Hae-in (Jang Seong-yoon) while standing on the ceremony stage, has raised more curiosity for the next episode.
In the final episode, Hae-in faces a crossroads whether to continue to point to Je-na as the culprit according to Yul-hee's wishes or to confess the truth and reveal the circumstances surrounding Hae-in's death. With Je-na watching her intently, attention is focused on what kind of repercussions Hae-in's choice will trigger.
Meanwhile, the identity of the Black Dog is also revealed, raising expectations. The chairman, Seo Hee-gwon (Oh Ji-ho), was also made anxious by the Black Dog, which will again show its presence at the ceremony. Additionally, the meticulous plans that the Black Dog has built up until now are expected to send chills to the viewers.
Park Woo-jin (Jang Deok-soo)'s unexpected actions are also anticipated to provide fresh entertainment. Sneaking into the ceremony, he makes shocking moves with a selfish attitude, oblivious to his ex-fiancée. Additionally, Lee Sa-rang (Won Kyu-bin) plays the role of a supporter who fully backs Hae-in's choice until the end. As a result, curiosity about the final episode, which will bring numerous episodes, is soaring.
