Lee Eun-saem and Kim Ye-rim joined hands for each other's benefit.
On 4th at 5 p.m., the second episode of the drama 'Cheongdam International High School 2' (directed by Lim Dae-woong and Park Hyung-won, written by Kwak Young-im), which was released on domestic OTT platforms, saw Kim Hye-in (played by Lee Eun-saem) begin to move in order to survive in a crisis.
On that day, Cheongdam International High School was abuzz with shocking rumors spread by an unidentified entity 'Black Dog.' The reason for Baek Gyo-yeon's (played by Lee Do-yeop) divorce from Baek Je-na's (played by Kim Ye-rim) father was due to an affair with temporary teacher Ha Min-hee (played by Ha Yeon-joo). Je-na, unable to conceal her embarrassment in the chaotic school environment, intensified the tension by having a standoff with Min-hee, who confidently entered her home.
Meanwhile, Haein, caught in a conflict with Hwang Bo-seok (played by Yoon Jae-hyun), attempted to join 'Diamond 6' based on the advice of Lee Sa-rang (played by Won Kyu-bin). Haein pleaded with Je-na, mentioning Min Yul-hee's (played by Park Si-woo) necklace, saying, "Help me just this once," but Je-na coldly responded, "You can never give me something that matches that level," drawing a line.
However, the situation took a turn when Haein witnessed an important circumstance related to Min-hee. As expected, with Je-na showing no reaction to Yul-hee's necklace, Haein handed over a recording of Min-hee talking on the phone with someone. The recording contained a crucial clue indicating that the child Min-hee was pregnant with might not be Gyo-yeon's biological child, and with this unexpected information in hand, Je-na wore a meaningful smile.
Meanwhile, the new character Cha Jin-wook (played by Kim Min-kyu) also added to the drama's excitement. Jin-wook left a strong impression from his first appearance and showed deep interest in Je-na, hinting at hidden motives. Additionally, he created a tension-filled moment when he casually said to Je-na, who rushed out of a hastily arranged dinner due to adult circumstances, "But I'm not that bad, am I?"
At the end of the broadcast, Je-na expelled Do-eon for not contributing donations from 'Diamond 6' and introduced Haein as the new member. Haein's confident entrance before the 'Diamond 6' members across the VIP lounge raised curiosity about the impact she would cause moving forward.
Shortly after the release, viewers responded enthusiastically, stating, “Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve watched such a thrilling drama,” “Is it because the writer and director changed? It has a different charm from the previous work,” “What’s with the atmosphere of Cha Jin-wook’s first appearance?” “I love how passionate the actors are,” “Sarang totally looks like a puppy,” “Dopamine kicked in from the first episode, it’s totally fun,” “The relationship between Haein and Je-na is totally my style,” and “Why are only two episodes released per week? I’m so curious.”
'Cheongdam International High School 2' releases episodes every Thursday and Friday on Netflix, Wavve, and Tving at 5 p.m., and viewers can also watch the episodes released that week on the 종합편성채널 MBN (Comprehensive Channel MBN) at 12:10 a.m. on Fridays.
