First, in Season 1, Kim Hye-in(played by Lee Eun-sam), who came from a poor family, accidentally witnessed Kim Hae-in’s(played by Jang Sung-yoon)accidental fall and transferred to Cheongdam International High School under the condition of tolerating the incident.Hye-in, who had a bad relationship with Queen Baek Je-na(played by Kim Ye-rim)of the ‘Diamond 6’, the most powerful group in the school, engaged in a tense war of nerves with her, while also getting one step closer to the truth about the mysterious accident, adding to the tension.At the end of the last episode of Season 1, another accident occurred in front of Hye-in and Hae-in, who had been unconscious, woke up, greatly increasing curiosity about Season 2.

● Friends? Rivals? The second act of the unyielding war of nerves between Eun-sam Lee and Ye-rim Kim begins!

In ‘Cheongdam International High School 2’, the strange relationship between Hyein and Jenna resurfaces.The two, who have been moving precariously between friends and enemies, allies and rivals, engage in a complex and delicate psychological warfare in this season.

What is noteworthy about this season is that Hye-in and Je-na, who are wary of each other but fiercely oppose each other, attract attention by actively responding to their own emotions and situations rather than waiting for someone to make a choice.In addition, the sincerity and subtle emotional changes of the two people revealed in the entangled relationship are expected to maximize the immersion of viewers.

● The appearance of new faces Kim Min-kyu, Won Kyu-bin, and Oh Ji-ho who will turn the tables on the drama!

● Romance blooming on thin ice

In ‘Cheongdam International High School 2’, the romance of the characters blossoms in different ways, filling the emotional line.Hye-in’s love for a younger man, Jin-wook who becomes Jenna’s fiancé, and Seo Do-eon(played by Lee Jong-hyuk)who is full of lingering feelings for Hae-in lead the romance.It stimulates curiosity about how the romance of these people, which provides excitement and comfort while also bringing tension and crisis, will be incorporated into the work.

● Cheongdam International High School, a collection of desires

‘Cheongdam International High School 2’, which stands out with its expanded worldview and in-depth character narrative, creates intense tension as each character’s desires and secrets intersect.If Season 1 was centered around Hye-in’s growth and the Kim Hae-in case, Season 2 will fully depict how each character reorganizes their relationships and survives in the collapsed order.

In particular, the seemingly solid power structure of the ‘Diamond 6’ is gradually shaking, causing new conflicts and the appearance of new faces that shake up the existence of existing characters, creating unpredictable tension.This season, which elaborately depicts entangled desires and interests, is ready to captivate not only existing fans but also viewers who are watching for the first time.
