I had low expectations for this drama initially. From the title alone, I assumed it would revolve around high school students, bullying, and, inevitably, revenge. However, the story follows an NIS agent who infiltrates a high school in search of a long-lost treasure to salvage his reputation at work, only to become entangled in a web of unforeseen events.

I was skeptical about the ML, an NIS agent, convincingly posing as a high school student. While he is undeniably charming, he simply looks too mature to pass as a teenager. The same can be said for the antagonist in the first episodes, who plays the role of a bully but appears far too old for the part. The FL, on the other hand, comes across as somewhat frustrating—she adopts a teacher-like demeanor with other students yet treats the ML differently, to the point of being obsessed with him, which feels inconsistent.

That being said, the blend of chaos, action, and comedy works surprisingly well, making all the characters amusing to watch. My main gripe so far is the overused story of the male and female leads having a shared past—a cliché that seems almost mandatory in Korean dramas. I can't understand why this element is so frequently included, but so far, the drama remains entertaining.
