Undercover High School, Episode 3 still delivering in the ratings
Considering the ongoing Undercover High School airs in the same time slot as Buried Hearts, it is amazing the MBC drama is seeing excellent ratings as every new episode premieres.
That’s again what happened last night, though, as Undercover High School, Episode 3 earned a nationwide rating of 6.6 percent, and a slightly higher 6.7 percent from viewers in Seoul.
Very solid ratings that are already 1.0 percent higher than the Korean action comedy earned for its first episode on February 21st, and with nine more episodes still to air.
International audiences rate Undercover High School
Meanwhile, the Seo Kang Joon, Jin Ki Joo, and Kim Shin Rok-led drama is still being rated high by viewers overseas.
So much so, more than 1,700 viewers on My Drama List are awarding it an average of 8.4 out of 10 so far (an excellent rating for that site), while almost 1,100 subscribers on Viki, where the series is streaming, are rating the K-drama a crazy high average of 9.8 out of 10.
Comments about the K-drama too are very positive, ranging from:
In a golden era of K-dramas, Undercover High School raises the bar to Olympic heights. From a dazzling opening scene complete with fabulous fight choreography, a thrilling car chase and explosive pyrotechnics, Seo Kang Jun emerges as the king of action-romance. So step aside Tom Cruise, there’s a new boss in town.

I just watched the first two episodes of “Undercover High School,” and wow, it’s a knockout! This K-drama mixes mystery and the highs and lows of high school life into a captivating story that keeps you hooked. The acting is top-notch, pulling you right into the thick of their world. Plus, the blend of suspense with genuine, relatable school moments is executed brilliantly.
It’s beautifully shot, and each scene feels important, building up the excitement for what’s next.
In other words, if it wasn’t airing across from Buried Hearts, which is also going gangbusters in the ratings in South Korea, Undercover High School would likely be performing even better.
Watch Undercover High School, Episode 3 on Viki now, as Episode 4 will be heading our way in a few hours.
