Halfway through, we found ourselves just waiting for the show to finally be over. It felt like a waste of time, but I'm the kind of person who needs to finish what I've started, even if I'm not enjoying it. The acting was average at best-nothing special or memorable.
There was far too much unnecessary drama, the supposed comedy didn't land at all, and the ending was painfully predictable. We honestly don't understand how this show has such high ratings. Maybe it's appealing to people who haven't seen many shows before or are watching a Korean drama for the first time.
So save your time or do not expect too much!! Don't believe the hype!!

I'm so so sad that this show is j 12 eps, it deserves 20 eps. I finished this show a week ago and i already have the urge to rewatch it again.
The story line, the dialogues and delivering chaotic energy in such a non-cringe and natural way i loveeed it istg. So so so good. I love chaotic shows and the element of the NIS agent to this show j makes it sm hotter for me alr istg.
I had actually never heard of seo kang joon before, but brothers and sisters i am already obessed w this man. He is so underrated i don't get why. His acting is so so so natural loved it. His character was so manly but pookie which is absolutely loved. What i love the most is eyes istg. The most beautiful eyes i have ever seen on a man to date, im not even kidding.
Jin ki joo, i love her too. Her character was so cute, i wanted to keep her in my pocket literally. Even she herself as an actress phenomenal and again so underrated.
The chemistry between jeong hae-seong and oh su-a was insane. Believe me when i tell you even their hands had chemistry.
Love this show, lowkey wanna lose all my memories and watch this masterpiece again.

Korean Drama '' Undercover High School '' is a school mystery thriller with a strong comedic element.
The story is not that original, but the mystery is, and the comedy part was well handled, with enough funny scenes to lighten the mood. The mystery was also intriguing, it was well paced, and had smooth twists.
The romance, on the other hand, could have been omitted, as it didn't really add anything to the plot, and was half baked in the end, as the drama opted to focus more on the mystery, thankfully, and not on the love story.
Finally, the performances were all great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

In this era of K-dramas like "Squid Game" and "All of Us Are Dead," sometimes we just need a breather, don't we? "Undercover High School" serves that purpose beautifully. As the title suggests, it follows the story of an NIS agent who goes undercover. The series is action-packed, fun, spontaneous, and intense, while also sprinkling in humor and a touch of romance.
The acting is top-tier, and the chemistry between the leads is captivating. It has been a while since we've had characters with such distinct antagonistic roles, making it interesting to watch the events unfold. My only complaint is that it was too short-only 12 episodes, oh my gosh! The drama struggled to focus on the couples, but I still craved and enjoyed their screen time together so much! Hae-song was literally born to play this role.
It's definitely worth a watch, period. Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope you enjoy the series and have a wonderful day!

It's been a while since a series hooked me this much. I've been eagerly waiting each week for new episodes and didn't feel disappointed even once.
Great blend of different genres - action, adventure, comedy, romance and all of them so well written. Jin Ki-joo and Seo Kang-joon truly brought their characters to life and their chemistry is of the charts.
There is many kdrama cliches in the story which I often find bothersome but they are so well introduced that felt very natural.
The main story is fast paced and I wish there was more time to dive into some dinamics between characters or side stories but I guess it was impossible with 12 ep.
Overall a must watch!
