Jin Ki-joo's Oh Su-a is righteous, and she won't tolerate it if she sees any injustice. As a teacher, she cares about her students and their well-being, and her care for them even goes beyond the school premises.

But, according to her, she and Oh Su-a, however, don't share much in common because their personalities are quite the opposite. "I don't think we have many similarities," she shared. "Su-a is outgoing, whereas I’m more introverted, which I think is a major difference between us."

Despite that difference, Jin Ki-joo plausibly pulls off her character. And her Undercover High School co-star, Seo Kang-joon, has great things to say about her acting style and how she affects him positively in his portrayal during their scenes together.

"Jin Ki-joo is a very honest and genuine actress," Seo Kang-joon said. "Her acting would change depending on how I delivered my lines, which made working with her incredibly fun. Plus, she has this lovable charm that makes everything feel forgivable."
