K-dramas never fail to surprise, and Undercover High School is the latest sensation, blending action, comedy, and high school drama in an unforgettable mix. Starring Are You Human? star Seo Kang-joon, along with Jin Ki-joo and Kim Shin-rok, this series takes the classic undercover agent trope and gives it a thrilling high school twist.

The story follows Jeong Hae-seong (Seo Kang-joon), a highly skilled NIS agent who gets demoted after a disastrous mission. Instead of being sidelined, he is given a bizarre new task—going undercover as a high school student to track down Emperor Gojong’s long-lost gold bars. Hiding his real identity, Hae-seong blends in with the students, navigating teenage life while secretly hunting for the hidden treasure.

However, things get complicated when his homeroom teacher, Oh Su-a (Jin Ki-joo), starts to notice something strange about him. Su-a, a dedicated teacher with a painful past, is struck by the eerie resemblance between Hae-seong and her childhood first love—the one who left her heartbroken. As the mystery deepens and Su-a gets closer to the truth, Hae-seong must balance his mission while keeping his cover intact.

With six episodes already out, Undercover High School is delivering non-stop action, humor, and emotional twists, keeping fans hooked. Seo Kang-joon, known for his unforgettable role as a humanoid robot in Are You Human? (2018), once again proves his versatility, effortlessly switching between intense spy action and comedic high school moments. Meanwhile, Jin Ki-joo’s portrayal of Su-a brings depth to the story, making viewers root for her even as she inches closer to uncovering Hae-seong’s secret.

With its fast-paced storytelling, unexpected twists, and hilarious undercover antics, Undercover High School is shaping up to be one of the must-watch K-dramas of the year. And with more episodes on the way, the suspense is only just beginning!
