Undercover Deez Nüts

Undercover High School is a nonsensical mess that provides just enough entertainment to justify its existence.

The plot? Hilariously convoluted and borderline criminal.

The characters? Forgettable and bland.

The villains? So unserious it's also criminal.

The progression? Stilted and almost non-existent.

The comedy? funny in an ironic way? Like I'm laughing AT you rather than WITH you?

The romance? Laughable.

buuut Seo Kang Joon is REALLY good looking… man that face.


I wanna give special attention to the main villain who must have tripped on her way to auditioning for The Glory or The Veil maybe even Come and Hug Me or When the Camelia Blooms and accidentally landed a role here.

Miss Mama BOB (I finished this show an hour ago and can't remember her name) was putting her heart and and soul into being the most menacing educator I have ever seen. She goes from “I wanna build a city for rich students!” to “I will burn every child alive cuz I can!” in just 12 easy episodes. Crazy work but I must applaud her.

FL Soo-ah (whose name I DO remember, give me head pats) has this whole backstory about wanting to be a better teacher cuz of bad happenings in her past but somehow its also pretty underdeveloped.

This story puts a grown man in the position of a student because that was so much easier than writing him to be a teacher? janitor? pe instructor??? So it gets weird when we see the FL crushing on him… I get that WE know he's an adult but she doesn't… It's weird. Also a teenage girl also declares her love for him and makes an open decision to pursue the adult man romantically… Bruh you ain't have to do all that.

I feel like criticizing this show too much is like bullying a baby.

I feel like if you're in a kdrama slump and you need something to fill time, this will do.

Ah man that face tho. It should be illegal to look that damn good. Despite them looks I gotta say this is a tad worse than From now on Showtime! So I'll score it accordingly.
