WHY ARE YOU READING REVIEWS?? WATCH THIS SHOW!!
Well, if you have decided to read reviews to decide if this show deserves your time, then let me help make it easier for you. This is a biased review, so I won't be listing any criticisms. Not because it was flawless, but the watching experience (for me) was so good that I don't want to bother focusing on the negatives. If you're seeking the following for your next drama, then you will enjoy Undercover Highschool:
1) A male lead that is ridiculously charismatic, multifaceted and the great glue which keeps the show together.
2) A perfectly casted male actor that fulfills all the above requirements of the main role and beyond.
3) You are a diehard Seo Kang Joon fan and waited for his comeback after 3 years (Man could not have selected a better script than this cos he DEVOURED)
4) A drama that reminds you of old school kdramas which had a little bit of everything, but most importantly were a satisfying fun watch.
5) You don't mind watching a mix match of a gazillion genres that might not give depth to the story, but is an entertaining watch.
6) You don't mind clichés and tropes but are more bothered about how well they are executed.
7) You seek a fun light watch, a show that doesn't take itself too seriously while keeping you at the edge of your seat.
8) A charming romantic arc with two leads who complement each other superbly and leave you begging for more.
9) A well-paced show that does a good job laying the foundation of the story.
10) All in all a show that you will come back to when having drama slump or would enjoy its edits on IG, Tiktok and YT.
Korean industry has stopped making such fun dramas. So Undercover Highschool particularly shines like a rare gem in a sea of similar shows with serious undertones. It will remind you of shows like Strong Do Bong Soon and Healer for its ability to mix genres with a captivating cast. This is a quintessentially Seo Kang Joon run show. It revolves around him.....and what a fabulous job did he do! He will definitely hypnotize you with his charm, acting, athleticism and just overall onscreen demeanor. They could not have casted anyone better. Cannot wait to see what he will do next. Also, special shoutout to Jin Ki Joo. I have always liked her and in this show these two matched each other's vibe perfectly. Hope these two get casted together again in the future :)
