Korean Drama Update for August 2025

August gave me the historical investigative rom-com Secret Royal Inspector and Joy as well as the spy action comedy Undercover High School. Here’s how it went:

Secret Royal Inspector and Joy

Secret Royal Inspector and Joy was a fun drama. It’s a lighter historical with a lot of humor, but it still has a solid overarching story with a more serious side. We watch as Yi Eon and Jo Yi begin working on cases together, and what appears to be simple turns out to be part of a much larger conspiracy.

The romance is cute and fun, and there is a great ensemble cast with a lovely bromance and girlmance. It wasn’t anything revolutionary and is pretty simple for the most part, but the story was engaging enough. I enjoyed it all the way through. (Secret Royal Inspector Review)

Undercover High School

Undercover High School was a fun drama. It’s a mixture of genres with action, humor, mystery, and romance.  It really was a little bit of everything, and that always kept things interesting. The pacing was pretty good all the way through with a decent story that had consistent new developments.

A lot of the fun centers around Seo Kang Joon being an agent having to go back to high school and all that entails. We get a lot of comedy from Seo Kang Joon’s NIS team and a nice slow burn romance too. Nothing gets too crazy, but it delivers an entertaining experience and was a good time.

So how was August for you?

Happy drama watching to everyone!

    I loved secret royal inspector joy! Sometimes it’s nice to have dramas that you can watch for a giggle and without thinking too much. I didn’t realize that Seo Kang Joon was in a drama recently. I haven’t seen him in foreverrr!

      Yay that you enjoyed it too! It was such a light and fun drama with just enough tension to keep things interesting.

      It had been a bit since I had seen Seo Kang Joon too. And luckily, Undercover High School was a lot of fun 😊
