10 all around! Has suspense, mystery, action, romance, comedy and the cutest ML who is doing a great job playing an elite agent and undercover student in an elite high school. Finally, the FL is a match for the ML (cute and an equal, confident). Great job in casting.
This series takes you on an emotional roller coaster as the ML also has his own secret mission - and that is to not fail his dad who was also an elite agent and has been missing for 20 years.
Of course the high school does have some bullying and the way the ML handles it is heart warming - great script.
One last note is that this drama is easy going and NOT too violent - very easy to watch but at the same time thrilling scenes.

Starring Seo Kang Joon and Jin Ki Joo, Undercover High School is a action drama that happens within a school, as the name suggests. With giving any spoilers, the drama starts strong, with some suspense and twists, good action and mature storytelling. The first half is engaging, although there are unserious moments at times.
While the start was strong, the second half of the show falters to some extent, as there was not much fun left to the premise. I won't say the show is skippable, but it surely doesn't have a rewatch value.
While the show is a mystery-spy themed, the drama also focuses on tougher subjects like school bullying, student hierarchies, and the politics which govern the lives of both students and teachers.
A little romance with comedy elements in regular intervals somehow keeps the drama balanced. Maybe not strongly recommended as there are better dramas in this genre, but Undercover High School is a fun and watchable drama that does silly and clever things simultaneously.
3 stars for 'Undercover High School'.

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!

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!!
