This article contains spoilers.

Lead cast: Seo Kang-joon, Jin Ki-joo, Kim Shin-rok

Latest Nielsen rating: 6.1 per cent

Undercover High School is a formulaic but very watchable high school series with a spy-action-mystery twist. It is also a prime example of how much suspension of disbelief is necessary while watching a typical K-drama.

Suspension of disbelief is a term that describes an audienceโ€™s willingness to set aside logic when consuming fictional stories. Writers constantly need to judge whether logic or entertainment is more important; as the old proverb goes, โ€œNever let the truth get in the way of a good story.โ€
