'Undercover High School' is garnering a lot of attention from viewers.

 

MBC's Friday night drama “Undercover High School” (produced by Namgung Sungwoo, scripted by Lim Youngbin, directed by Choi Jungin, produced by Neo Entertainment, Slingshot Studio) has been gripping viewers with its colorful storyline that combines fun and suspense.

 

In particular, in the second episode broadcast on Saturday, May 22, the 2049 viewership rate, a key indicator of channel competitiveness and topicality, rose to 2.8%, ranking first among all dramas broadcast on that day. Here, we take a look at the appealing points of “Undercover High School” that captivated viewers.

 

#Best rice buddies! Seo Kang Joon X Jin Ki Joo's acting parade shines in this time-saving moment

 

From the very first episode, “Undercover High School” has captured the attention of viewers with its strong acting, immersive direction, and original plot.

 

In particular, the tiki-taka chemistry between Jung Hae-sung (Seo Kang-joon) and Oh Soo-ah (Jin Ki Joo) and the hilarious scenes where they intertwine without even trying have made viewers cry and laugh as they are called “rice friends” that the whole family can comfortably watch while laughing together.

 

Their interactions are comical, with Hae-sung calling his teacher, Soo-ah, “you” and dodging her when she tries to fall on him. It's also fun to see Hae-sung trying to fit in as a student, learning new words and trying to avoid getting into fights.

 

Viewers commented, “Hae-sung and Sua Tiki-Taka are hilarious,” “It's nice to be able to watch them without thinking,” “Hae-sung and Sua are like Nick and Judy, Husky and Maltese,” “Time flies when you're just watching,” and more.

 

#Comedy, action, thriller, and more! An unlimited genre restaurant!

 

'Undercover High School' maximizes the fun of the drama by crossing genres such as comedy, action, and thriller. In particular, the scene where Hae-sung's fighting instinct is awakened and he hears blasphemous sounds in his ears like a hallucination, and Ahn Seok-ho (played by Jeon Bae-soo) holds back his anger as he smiles in a monk's outfit.

 

Also, the scene where an unidentified figure throws a hammer and runs away while investigating a school rumor about the whereabouts of a gold bar, and the appearance of a skeletal corpse kept the tension high.

 

In addition, Seo Kang-joon's action scenes were awe-inspiring. Not only did he take on a large group of people by himself, but the scene where he fought off Park Tae-soo (played by Jang Sung-beom) with a swift gesture when he tried to challenge him was also jaw-dropping.

 

Viewers commented, “I like the genre atmosphere,” “It's really good to switch genres,” “It goes well between horror, comedy, and horror,” and “Seo Kang-joon's action is awesome.”

 

#Hae-sung and Soo-ah's chemistry is off the charts!

 

In the drama, Hae-sung and Soo-ah have instant chemistry with each other, which adds to the fun of the drama.

 

Hae-sung gets involved with troublemaker Tae-soo as soon as he transfers to a new school and gets beaten up by his brother Ahn Yoo-jung (Park Se-hyun), and the process of getting close to Dong-min and hearing stories about school gossip is also a delightful moment of chemistry.

 

As a temporary teacher, Soo Ah is willing to go to great lengths to please Vice Principal Baek Kwang Doo (Oh Yong), but she caused hilarity when she accidentally took off his wig after drinking and avoided him the next day.

 

Viewers commented, “Hae Sung and Yoo Jung chemistry is fun,” “I start laughing whenever Soo Ah and Kyung Gyum appear in a scene,” and “He's not a joke without a lead actor,” among others.

 

Meanwhile, on the 28th (today's) episode, Hae-Sung faces a crisis when the school's academic committee is opened. In addition, another myth will be revealed and Hae-sung's struggle to dig it out will unfold, making this episode even more exciting.

 

According to FUNdex, the official platform of Good Data Corporation, “Undercover High School” was ranked No. 1 in TV-OTT drama buzz for the 3rd week of February. In addition, Seo Kang Joon was ranked No. 1 in the cast topicality ranking, proving his high topicality.

 

Episode 3 of “Undercover High School” will be broadcast on February 28th (tonight) at 9:50pm.
