The Story
An NIS agent goes undercover at an elite local high school to locate a rumored fortune in gold, buried somewhere on campus by the founder of the school. As he researches the urban legends surrounding the school in search of clues, he finds an unlikely ally in his compassionate homeroom teacher. And he is surprised to find that high school is a lot more fun the second time around. But the plot thickens when he discovers a surprising connection between the gold and a tragedy from his own past.

My Personal Thoughts and Ratings
‘Undercover High School’ is a simple mystery crime drama with an interesting story. The romance is cute but subtle. Seo Kang Jun is charming as the undercover agent reliving his high school days and Kim Shin Rok is absolutely convincing as the maniacal chairwoman. This drama isn’t meant to be especially deep or realistic, but it’s a fun, casual watch. The action scenes give it a bit of spice and the mystery has some nice twists along the way.
If you are looking for a gritty true crime feel, I suggest you check out Hulu and skip this one. The mystery is far-fetched, the comedy can be a bit ham-handed, and the drama relies too heavily on over-used kdrama tropes. But if you enjoy a rom-com adjacent drama with a fun twist of mystery, this one is an enjoyable ride. I give ‘Undercover High School’ an 8 out of 10 ramen.
