No particular order, and some I've dropped. If I gave the drama 3 stars or less, chances are I dropped it. Innocent Man was the very first Drama I saw. Flirten Verliebte Männer Mit Anderen Frauen. Both dramas have.. -undercover spies that are awkward with emotional feelings -spies end up have some relationship to an idol -cute, fun, spunky sidekicks/side characters -romantic relationships that affect the spies' mission -fun comedy -stoic male leads -male leads' sunglasses give them an unexpected amount of personality that speaks for itself -female leads use a friend to attract male leads' attention -unexpected plot development -fun, enjoyable, romancy Although these dramas aren't at all alike in storyline or theme, they're both fluffy, fun and light dramas that are feel-good romantic comedies. Both have very lovable male leads who fall head-over-heels for the female lead, both of whom are a bit ditzy, scatterbrained and ignorant in the field of what life has in store for them. Both dramas circle around the marriage theme and the characters' future. Both of these dramas are on my top 10 list and are very worth watching when you're in the mood for something super romancy and heart-pounding. Spies story but different story line. If you like Dennis Oh I recommend this drama. Even he didn't speak Korean but still he is adorable. All the surrounding and circumstances are different, but the feelings between the main couples the "type" of love in these two dramas seem similar to me. They start out with almost enemy like relationship, the man treats the woman sometimes really badly... but the girl in both dramas is the type who can take it all and some more, very strong girls both of them. Both pairs also end up in a difficult situation later on where they need to decide how much they can give up for their love. Both dramas are based around the same story. A female spy trying to get a man who is danger to fall for her in order to get something from him and end up falling in love and protecting him. It's about forbidden love. It's filled with romance and comedy but filled with almost the same action as City Hunter. You will love it! Both dramas have a main character that is a apecial agent who secretly works for a government but does not let their romantic partner know. When watching crash landing on you I immediately thought of Myung Wol the spy. Both are romance between a north and a south korean. IN Crash Landing on you the female lead is south korean and accidentally lands on North Korea and thus begins her romance with a NK soldier. In Myung Wol , the male lead is a south korean and the female lead is a north korean agent. She comes close to him with an ulterior motive. Male lead is more a jerk compared to Crash landing on you. Personnaly I prefered Myung Wol because the romance was slower and more developped, seemed less forced than is CLOY. About spies comedy romance love story. If you like Eric, Yoo In Na or Im Joo Hwan this series is a must watch & I recommend to watch it. It is almost a bit similar to Eric previous spy drama. Definitely Lee Jin Wook is adorable. I hope they will make more spies drama or movie in the future. They both have that cross of action and romantic comedy. I kept thinking that Rain should have been casted for this part, though I loved Eric Mun. While the premises are completely different, in both drama, it's the female lead's job/task to be with the male lead, and there's a supporting cast monitoring them and advising her as part of some ridiculous ploy. Both have to do with kidnapping a popular star! Both are about a person, who's the bodyguard of a famous celebrity and both fall in love with each other. Myung Wol the Spy has somehow a more serious feeling sometimes, because of the risk she is taking, but overall both tend to be more funny and cute, than serious. They both have the Someone from the North fell in love with someone from the south, and they also have the all military thing going on. recaps discussion news cast 223 September 6, 2011January 24, 2016 Myung-wol the Spy Episode 18 Final by girlfriday Oh, Myung-wol. It saddens me to think of the drama you could’ve been, when you were at the height of funny. You were quirky and offbeat and something new, and the possibilities were endless. But you caved to some of the laziest writing and directing known to man, and worst of all, you lost your quirky charm, your sense of fun, what made you… you. Despite it all I held out hope for a good ending… because I’m a glutton for punishment that way. What say you, one good episode, for old times’ sake? Why do I feel like I’m about to regret asking? FINAL EPISODE RECAP Kang-woo finds Myung-wol in the cave and tells her that he can’t live without her. Heaven or hell, he won’t let her go, and if they die, they die together. She still refuses after that? telling him that she doesn’t have it in her to stay here with him. She tries to walk away but he backhugs her and asks if she’ll let him stay with her on her last night here. It’s a last-ditch effort, but he says if she leaves, he’ll never get to see her again. Meanwhile, outside the cave, Ryu fights off Chairman Joo’s minions who have come after them, and finds In-ah hiding, having followed Kang-woo. He gruffly walks her down the mountain grumbling at her for coming up here, and finally snaps off her heels when she starts complaining. He asks why she came, and she confesses that she was worried about him. He asks how much she knows, and by her evasive look, he can tell she knows everything about who he is. He asks why she’s still here then, if she knows. In-ah “Because I like you! You don’t know women. That’s why you’re always getting dumped.” Haha. One point for the princess. She adds, “You only see the woman you like. You can’t see the woman who likes you, can you?” She asks him to turn himself in, but he tells her not to like someone like him. He apologizes and tells her that he can’t accept her feelings. She starts to cry and he’s startled by her tears, perhaps not realizing that she was serious until that moment. Aw, I actually feel bad for In-ah. I know! She goes home and cries, and he contemplates the scarf she had given him to wrap around his knife wound the night before. Back at spy central, Dae-kang rushes over to tell Hee-bok the big news that Myung-wol is a spy. He then deduces that Ok-soon must be a spy as well, since they’re mother-daughter. Eyes wide, he yells, “You were conned into your marriage!” Hee-bok pretends to faint at the news, and wonders if he should just turn them in for the reward money, since no one suspects him. Sure, there’s no way that plan will backfire on you. In the cave, Kang-woo leans on Myung-wol’s shoulder and they sit by the fire. He reminisces about their first meeting, and she’s surprised to hear that he knows it was in Singapore, when she chased him down for an autograph pretending to be the crazy fangirl. He asks if she won’t run away with him, to somewhere where they won’t be recognized or found. That’s what I’m sayin’! But she refuses, asking why he should have to give up everything in his life for her. She says that she won’t be happy that way, and has decided to think of it all – her being born in the north, falling in love with a man from the south, their having to part like this – as fate. And she adds that if they’re fated to be, they’ll meet again. But… that’s… so passive and lame. Guh. She wakes up the next morning and comes out to meet Ryu and asks why he led Kang-woo here. He asks if she wants to change her mind there’s still time… She tells him that either way she’ll regret it. But she’d rather regret it alone than to watch Kang-woo suffer as well, and says that she’ll carry that pain on her own. Sigh. I’m not even going to argue with you anymore. Go ahead and be alone with your pain. I hope you have a lovely life together, you and PAIN. Kang-woo wakes up alone and finds Myung-wol’s ring sitting next to him. He comes out of the cave and shouts her name over and over, breaking my heart. She stops when she hears him, but keeps going forward with determination. They stop in to say goodbye to the spy parents, and Hee-bok sends Ryu off with worries over their well-being, and they thank each other for everything. And then Ok-soon cooks for Myung-wol, wanting once to make her food like a real mom. With tears, Myung-wol thanks them for being like her real parents, and Ok-soon in turn thanks her for being her daughter when all she ever really wanted was a family of her own. Aw, can’t you guys stay and be a fam-uh-ly? *sniff* Ryu waits at the dock for Myung-wol to arrive, and she manages to evade the NSA agents, but someone chloroforms her and grabs her just before she can get to Ryu. Chairman Joo gets the call that they’ve succeeded in nabbing her. Ryu panics and heads to Kang-woo’s, searching for Myung-wol. Kang-woo hasn’t seen her either and then both boys start panicking. Just then, Kang-woo gets the call from Chairman Joo. He has Myung-wol, and he’ll kill her if he doesn’t get two things the evidence of his involvement in his father’s murder, and Ryu’s file on the decoded books. In-ah happens to overhear the phone call, and is appalled to find out just how scary Grandpa really is. Um… the house full of minions clad in minion-wear didn’t tip you off? She can’t believe that he killed Kang-woo’s father and is threatening to kill Myung-wol, and insists that there’s time for him to back out now. But of course he’s way too far gone to do that, and orders the minions to lock her up in her tower. Kang-woo contemplates the deal, and decides that he’ll do as Chairman Joo asks. Ryu says that there’s no guarantee that he’ll do as he promised, and offers his help – they’ll rescue her together. Aw, team-up! It sure took an awful long time for you guys to give in to the bromance. Meanwhile Hee-bok heads to the police station, ready to turn Ok-soon in for a bundle of cash, but he catches sight of a pretty lady who reminds him of Ok-soon, and turns back around. On his way out, he runs into Ok-soon who’s here attempting to do the same thing. They both accuse each other of betrayal, and then both confess that they couldn’t do it. They decide to go surrender together, holding hands. Aw. Kang-woo meets Chairman Joo and hands over his last bit of evidence in his dad’s murder, in exchange for Myung-wol’s location. He decides he’s going to trust Joo one last time. Hello, mistake! Sure enough, as soon as Chairman Joo gets what he wants, he sends his minions to beat Kang-woo, and sends Ryu to the wrong location, and straight into a trap. Kang-woo takes out the file that Ryu had given him. It contains the books’ contents as well as a record of all of Chairman Joo’s misdeeds, that he entrusted to Kang-woo. Ryu asked him to take it to the NSA in exchange for Myung-wol’s freedom. It was the last thing he could do for her, essentially betraying his country and exchanging his own freedom for hers. Chairman Joo arrives back home, and Ryu meets him at gunpoint. He tells him that Kang-woo is on his way to give the books over to the NSA, and orders him to free Myung-wol, so Joo picks up his phone and calls his minions… and orders her killed. Well duh. What kind of hostage negotiator doesn’t see that coming? Tsk, tsk, the spies in this world. They all went to Low-Rent Discount Spy Academy. Ryu is furious that the murdering backstabber… backstabbed him… AGAIN never heard, “fool me twice, shame on me”? and raises his gun to Joo’s throat. In-ah rushes in and begs him not to do ite, and stands between Ryu and Grandpa, pleading for his life. Ryu gives in, of course, and leaves. In-ah follows him out and tells him where Myung-wol is being held. Soon after, NSA agents bust into the house and arrest Chairman Joo for his crimes. Ryu rushes over to save Myung-wol just in time, and tells her they’re headed to meet Kang-woo, so that she can start her new life, free and clear. She smiles in anticipation and so does Kang-woo, as the two cars speed toward each other on the same road. But just as they spot each other, the North Korean sniper assassin appears and fires a shot at Ryu’s car, which sends them careening off the cliff. The car flips over and bursts into flames, and Kang-woo collapses to the ground in tears, screaming her name. One year later, Kang-woo continues to have dreams about Myung-wol and their happily married life that could have been. He plans to head to the States to clear his head and do some studying, and says goodbye to Dae-kang and In-ah. In-ah has taken over her grandfather’s hotels, and being a CEO certainly suits her bossy style more than being a lousy actress. She still thinks fondly of Ryu, remembering him every time she trips in her heels. Ok-soon and Hee-bok are married and doing well with restaurants and coffee shops. Ok-soon opened a Pyongyang Noodle Shop that’s booming, and Kang-woo comes by to visit and say goodbye on his way to the States. At the airport a woman brushes past him, and though he can only see her from behind, she’s dressed exactly the way Myung-wol was, on the day he first met her. He chases her down and loses her. He stands there, lost, confused, and then his baseball rolls toward him and stops at his feet. He picks it up and stares at it in shock. And then Myung-wol’s voice calls out to him, “Have you been well, Comrade Kang-woo?” He turns around in disbelief, as she tells him that it’s been a long time. She holds up the meanie face autograph he gave her on the day they met, and tells him that she’s going to get his autograph this time, and marry him and live happily with him here. His eyes fill with tears and he finally breaks into a big smile. She tells him that it took too long to get to this point, and that she won’t ever leave him again. She runs flying into his arms and he hugs her tight. Aw, despite the circumstances and her whole disappearing-reappearing act being TOTALLY ridiculous, I’m happy for him because he looks so happy in the moment. Wedding time! Myung-wol and Kang-woo finally get their dream wedding with the spy parents and everyone else in attendance. Dae-kang asks the spy parents where Myung-wol’s been this whole time and they say she wouldn’t tell them. They’re just happy that she’s back, but sigh that it’s too bad for Ryu. In-ah hears this and leaves, saddened at the mention of Ryu, and comes out to find her scarf on her windshield – the one she gave him. She clutches it and looks around, hope filling her eyes. Though he doesn’t show himself, he watches the wedding and In-ah from a distance, burn scars showing on his arm and his neck. Why am I more moved by this couple than the main one? Sigh. Newlyweds Myung-wol and Kang-woo drive off, calling each other by their insulting/endearing nicknames. In the distance a billboard announces the news of their wedding and Kang-woo’s return to showbiz, in the drama Myung-wol the Spy. COMMENTS Sigh. The thing is, that death fakeout was so obvious that it was hard to feel the kind of dramatic tension that the drama was aiming for. In fact, most of the dramatic tension in this finale was pretty much moot, because we were just re-treading the same ground as before. Deal gone wrong with Chairman Joo? Check. Warehouse kidnappings? Check. Guns ablaze and no firing? Check. I at least thought that everything with the NSA and North Korea would come to a head in the final episode… but all the stuff I wanted to see “happened” offscreen, which is the lamest cop-out in the book. Where did they go for a year? Why did it have to be that long? Did they make a deal with the NSA? What were the terms? What about North Korea? Even if the fake death made the North think they’d succeeded in assassinating them, doesn’t her very public marriage to Kang-woo negate all that? So then what the hell was the point of disappearing for a year? What kills me about this drama is that it started out so funny and absurdist and wacky, with such potential for a fun take on the spy world with hijinks and showbiz meta. But the writing lost all of that initial creative flair and regurgitated one conflict over and over and over and over… until I stopped caring. I’m glad that they got their happy ending, but I honestly couldn’t have cared less, especially since I knew they’d get their romantic happy ending. What I was curious about was HOW they were going to tie up all the high-stakes loose ends and earn their well-deserved peace. But this drama was all setup and no payoff. If the solution was going to be this easy, then why did we have to go through all the leaving, not leaving, hiding, dealing, kidnapping, and fake death? When Kang-woo finally got shot to save Myung-wol, my hopes went back up a tiny bit, thinking that at least danger was afoot with the North Korean assassin, and that we’d see a big face-off at the very end. But I suppose if I kept going on about all the things I wished this drama had done, we’d be here till next year. In the end I guess the only thing I really liked was what the drama used to be early on, and Eric’s performance throughout. He held on to the very end, acting his heart out, despite no one else really being in the game. While I liked everyone else in their roles and have no major complaints about them unlike my gripes with the writing and directing, his was the only performance that stood a cut above the rest. While I didn’t love his character, I thought he brought an edge in his portrayal, which surprised me. You know what this feels like? A breakup after you give a relationship a second, third, fourth, fifth chance, because you’re still clinging to the memories of the happy times… until it dawns on you that now the angst outweighs the happy. Sigh. Ain’t love a bitch?

His acting is not amazing but he is good. Han Ye Seul is pretty and she is good at acting. But I think she needs work on her facial expressions more. She use only one for shocked, frustared, sad and angry! Drama keeps repeating itself all over. it seems like happy ending but a problem come up; they solve the problem, again seems like happy ending *DININININ* -evil background music- another similar problem come up! Only one villian cause so many problems. They can create different problems or they can choose someone else to cause problems for lead actor & actress. Thay can make this show 14-16 episodes and just finish it smoothly. Ending was good but it could be better! So many stellar. Yes they need advirsement. Eric use his own drama for his own group = fair enough. But using them so much ANNOYING! I'm trying to watch a drama here! Read More Was this review helpful to you? 137 July 19, 2011January 24, 2016 Myung-wol the Spy Episode 4 by girlfriday Such a fun, quirky series that mixes spy farce with rom-com elements. It has some lighthearted silly moments, treasure-hunting spy moments, but also characters with interesting mysterious layers. And the funny pretty much kills me. EPISODE 4 RECAP Kang-woo grabs In-ah’s hand on its way to slapping Myung-wol across the face. He tells her like one of his drama heroes, “Don’t mess with her,” followed directly with “She’s crazy. Crazy in love. She’s not right in the head, so don’t mess with her.” HA. So much for romantic declarations of heroism. He walks away and In-ah seethes, deciding to put her in her place by saying that there are two kinds of trees – the ones you can climb, and ones you can try your hardest but never gain a foothold on. Without skipping a beat, Myung-wol tells HER to stop flailing around on a tree she can’t climb. Heh. In-ah raises her arm yet again, and Myung-wol blocks her, reminding her of Kang-woo’s words not to mess with her. I could watch her annoy In-ah all day. Except then I’d have to stare at In-ah’s face all day. In-ah stalks off, calling her a whack job. Myung-wol looks after her curiously, repeating the word to herself. I love this running gag of her trying to learn South Korean slang every time someone calls her something new. Dae-kang decides that if he is to battle with a tiger, he’s got to go into the tiger’s lair. What? You mean battle Kang-woo for Myung-wol’s affections? Pwahaha. This is awesome. So to that end, he shows up on the set to wash Kang-woo’s car, introducing himself to the agency president as a die-hard fan. Kang-woo’s agent decides he’s the perfect trial-run replacement for his manager, and Dae-kang bows fervently that he’ll die for Kang-woo. Kang-woo sighs, “Why are there so many crazies about these days?” Heh. Ryu packs a bag, and the parent spies ask if there’s another objective in this mission that he’s not telling them. He doesn’t deny that there is, but pulls rank and tells them that it’s confidential. Ok-soon admits she’s got a bad feeling, and he gets defensive, reminding her that this is all for the sake of their country. He tells them to make sure that Myung-wol advances on her mission because there’s not too much time left. She later timidly asks Kang-woo not to call her crazy in front of other people, and he asks her brusquely if she’s embarrassed. She admits that it’s not something she’s proud of, and he just tells her it’s good that she knows that. She asks him what “whack job” means, even though when he asks if she doesn’t know the word, she backpedals and says that of course she knows – she was just wondering if it was worse than “crazy.” He confirms her suspicions. NSA agent Yoo Da-hae gets word that Hallyu star Kang-woo was involved somehow in the Singapore book deal. That piques her interest – “What’s a Hallyu star doing at a black market book deal instead of partying at a nightclub?” Ryu moves into Chairman Joo’s estate, to begin phase two of his mission, to get his hands on one of the books in the Ancient Quartet of Mystical Secrets. He discovers a locked room leading to a massive walk-in safe that pretty much screams, All of my hidden treasures are here, please steal. In-ah runs into him walking around in the hallway, and tells him that nobody but Grandpa goes into that room. But the only thing she really cares to talk about is herself, so she asks if he likes her. Ha. I would say that your ego is astounding, but I’m in no way surprised. She tells him that he ought to get over it, since she only has eyes for brand name things, and he throws back, amused, that she doesn’t really know whether or not he’s “brand name.” I love that the cold calculating spy is actually messing with her a little. Myung-wol gets to practicing her seduction techniques, and today it’s the OPPA~. Hee. She says it over and over again, trying to get her pitch up into Oppa Squeal Zone, and her hands curl up in disgust at the over-cute. “How is this supposed to attract a man? The only thing it’s attracting is my gag reflex.” HA. He comes downstairs so she jumps up at the chance to try it out, asking timidly, “Is there anything you need… oppa?” He stops dead in his tracks. She remembers Ok-soon’s words that if he shows a reaction of any sort, it’s half a success already. She smiles, buoyed by the thought that it’s working. She follows it up with, “Would you like a cup of coffee, OppA~?” He shoots back “Wanna die?” That’s…not the reaction she was hoping for. He mocks her, lips out to there, “OppA~ … If you do that one more time, you’re dead.” Hahaha. Overreact much? She frowns, but ten to one he’s gonna be plagued by it later. She steals out to meet Ok-soon for a debriefing, and tells her that Operation Oppa was a failure. Ok-soon gasps, “But… men almost always lose their minds at the word oppa.” Ain’t it the truth. The power of a word. Ok-soon sighs in frustration that she can’t figure out what Kang-woo’s taste is, if he’s immune to The Cute. Myung-wol narrows her eyes, “I think he’s a total whack job.” Haha. Way to use your new word of the day. NSA agent Da-hae stakes out Kang-woo’s place and sees Myung-wol, wondering curiously if she’s his girlfriend, since his profile says that his parents died young, so he has no family and lives alone. The next day Myung-wol tries again to engage Kang-woo in conversation while he’s on the treadmill, and refuses to leave his side. So he tells her to run alongside him then, which leads to a hilarious competitive race where she totally outruns him, and he keeps upping his speed to try and keep up. His pride refuses to let him back down, until he nearly trips. He barks at her that he can’t concentrate because she’s making too much noise, and walks off in a huff. Hee hee. I love when his pride gets injured. Dae-kang fills her in on Kang-woo’s past with In-ah, calling theirs a classic push-and-pull relationship. She asks what that means, so he takes the opportunity to hold her hand and demonstrates by literally pulling and pushing. Ha. That just confuses her more. He explains that Kang-woo is no idiot, and that he pushes her away when she’s too close, and pulls her back in, just when she’s about to let go. In-ah is a secure future for him when he retires from showbiz, so Dae-kang puts his money down on the fact that he’ll eventually marry her. Myung-wol grumbles, only now realizing that In-ah is a threat to her in the larger sense. Ryu lifts the Chairman’s fingerprint easily that night over dinner, and makes his way into the secret treasure room. But once inside, he encounters yet another safe with a passcode he has to crack. Myung-wol loses sight of Kang-woo and walks around the house looking for him, and finds a baseball and glove peeking out from a closet. She picks it up to put back, and he flips out at her touching his stuff. She wonders how she’ll ever get anywhere with a guy whose temper is so high, but then peers back to see him holding the ball and glove with a stricken look. He puts it down and picks up a picture of him with Dad, in his little league uniform. Aw. Over the coming days, Dae-kang grits his teeth and takes the abuse of his new manager job so that he can stay close to Myung-wol noona aw, while Myung-wol does her bodyguard job with zeal. She and Kang-woo have to fight through a horde of screaming fangirls on their way out of the studio, and when one of the girls grabs his hair, she unlatches her, inciting the fangirls’ rabid ire. Once Kang-woo is out of harm’s way, she meets them out back in the alley for a little lesson, only fangirls… are not like fanboys. Apparently, they are MUCH MUCH scarier. Like organized mob scary. At the signal of a bobby pin, the girls pin the hair out of their faces and approach like a pack of hyenas. Myung-wol gulps, realizing that she may have underestimated the love of the fangirl. She comes stumbling out of the alley torn up and bloody. Heh. He orders Dae-kang to stop by a shop and buy her some new clothes since they have to go straight to a party for the launch of a jewelry line that night. Aaaaand, evening gown it is. Myung-wol laughs at her own reflection as she changes in the bathroom, still bloody from the fangirl scuffle. In-ah sidles up to Kang-woo and tells him to go ahead and impress Grandpa tonight, who arrives with Ryu by his side. That makes In-ah stick closer to Kang-woo, as the two men exchange stony looks. Ryu heads to the restroom and walks right past Myung-wol, barely recognizing her. He turns back and calls her name hesitantly. Bout time you saw her as a girl. Only he’s such a singleminded robot that he can’t even take a second to go gaga over her in a dress, and simply reminds her to stay focused on the job and that they’re putting their lives on the line for their country. Yeah, yeah. But she looks so purty! Tell her she looks purty! Myung-wol makes a big entrance with all eyes on her, mostly because she trips a waiter on her way in. Heh. But it’s enough to catch the jeweler’s attention, and she ditches In-ah mid-sentence to go talk to Myung-wol and compliment her beauty. Kang-woo goes googly-eyed at the sight of her in that dress, which is so satisfying. It still doesn’t explain why you’re wearing shiny brocade curtains as a dinner jacket, but at least it’s in character that the bigger the star, the weirder the clothes. Seriously, it’s like math. Think about it. He perks up when he hears her use perfect English to reply to the jeweler that she’s not an actress but a bodyguard. A little later, a man walks up to ask Myung-wol for a dance, and at first he asks politely and she declines because she’s working. But the dude is apparently not a fully formed hominid, because he grabs her wrist and yanks her onto the dance floor. Because THAT somehow puts a girl in a shake and shimmy mood? I’m dying for her to break a few fingers, but Kang-woo steps in first. Probably a good thing, though I’m sorely disappointed in the lack of finger-breaking. He cuts in, firmly enough to make the creep go away. I don’t know what makes me happier—that now they’re dancing, or that In-ah is standing four feet away and forced to watch it. He puts his arms around her and they begin to dance, and Kang-woo asks curiously where she learned to speak English if she grew up in the country. She points out that living in the country doesn’t preclude learning English. She steps all over his toes and he tells her with his totally straight face “If you step on my toes one more time, you’re fired.” Ha. He dips her and says, “Stop trying to get ahead. Just follow me.” She finally gets the hang of it and they whirl around the dance floor for a while, until he gets a call and then suddenly rushes out. She runs after him and In-ah sees a chance to be a petty bitch, and steps on Myung-wol’s dress train as she runs past her. But Myung-wol simply tears the rest of it off and keeps running as In-ah fumes. So… you inadvertently got her through a quick-change from evening gown into sexy black spy dress by being evil. Thanks. She runs after Kang-woo but loses him just as he takes off in a cab. Turns out his big meeting is with Hee-bok. Ha. Hee-bok keeps him on the ropes in his hunt for the Goblin, and tells him that he’s disappeared again. Hee-bok “But I’ve figured out why he’s called the Goblin. It’s because… he’s preternaturally elusive… like a goblin.” Pwahahaha. Thank you for your powers of deduction there, super-spy. Kang-woo gives him a look like, are you fucking with me, so Hee-bok quickly tells him that’s not all he’s got. He takes out a sketch of the Goblin’s face… with dark sunglasses on. Pffft. Kang-woo holds it up to his own sunglassed face in mockery, but Hee-bok insists that it’s a start. Kang-woo gives him more money and gets up to go, and when a news report comes on about him and In-ah, Hee-bok asks if he’s really going to marry her. He asks what type of women he likes. Kang-woo “I have no interest in women.” Anyone smell a gay misunderstanding around the corner? Hee-bok doesn’t think much of the statement, beyond his rudeness. Myung-wol comes home and remembers the dance wistfully, and Kang-woo comes home, bursting her bubble with his actual personality. She asks him worriedly why he ran off in the middle of their dance, and he says coldly, “Don’t think because I held your hand that you’ve become something. Don’t overreact.” He stops mid-sentence when he notices her dress, and has another fit, complaining that it’s expensive. “Are you normally a clumsy character? That’s coming out of your salary.” He turns to go, but then Myung-wol mutters angrily under her breath, calling him a rat bastard. He half-hears her and whirls around, but she quickly covers it up and runs off. Ok-soon finds her working out in the park, and decides that leading with Myung-wol’s feminine wiles is like “beating a rock with an egg,” HA and suggests they change their tactic. She tells Myung-wol to forget coming at him woman-to-man, and focus instead on person-to-person. She tells her to figure out what his weakness is – that is, his deepest pain. Myung-wol wonders if going for his weak spot isn’t cowardly of them, but Ok-soon tells her that everyone feels pain. Yeah, maybe except for Kwon Sang-woo. “Make him feel like you are the only one in the world who understands his pain.” Well it’s a good thing his pain is daddy issues, because so are hers. Nice that she doesn’t even have to fake it, right? She heads toward home but finds a fangirl the same one who led the scary alley fight earlier asleep on the front stoop. She’s been there three nights in a row, just dying for one handshake or an autograph from Kang-woo. Myung-wol comes in to ask him because she feels so bad for the girl, but he refuses. She doesn’t see why he’s so adamant about not giving away his autograph when it takes such little effort, and he tells her to go out and sign one then. She tells him that an autograph from her means nothing. He points out that this is exactly the difference – his is worth something, while hers is not, and he’s not going to run around depreciating the value of his own stock by being so commonly available. Wow. He’s like his own functioning mini star system, image-as-commodity economics, all wrapped up in one body. So Myung-wol goes down and gives the girl one of Kang-woo’s favorite t-shirts, telling her that he sleeps in it, and told her to give it to her. HA. Awesome. It turns out he’s not a total ass though, as he almost heads out with a cd, until he sees Myung-wol give away his shirt. In-ah decides to retaliate in this push-and-pull game by asking Grandpa for Ryu to be her bodyguard. So transparent. The you-have-a-hot-bodyguard-so-I’m-gonna-have-a-hot-bodyguard ploy? She thinks Ryu perfectly suited to drive Kang-woo crazy with jealousy. Kang-woo drives Myung-wol crazy with his insanely particular diva antics, he of the mineral water from minimum altitudes and tissues made of organic fibers. Though his retort when she hands him a roll of toilet paper to wipe his mouth is hilarious “Do you want to clean your mouth with what you use to clean your bottom?!” He yells at her for not doing her job and letting fangirls write all over his car, and orders her to clean it up. While rooting around for something to clean with, she finds a box of cds in the car – the same cd he was holding the other night. Perhaps a failed album and a sore spot for him? Myung-wol reports to Ok-soon that she needs more time to figure out his weakness, and Ok-soon suggests she start digging into his past. Kang-woo watches himself give an interview on tv and scoffs at his fabricated backstory of living abroad because of his doctor parents, and falls asleep on the couch. Myung-wol finds him there and notices him having a nightmare. He’s a kid in his baseball uniform, and he goes running through the woods, calling out “Daddy! Daddy!” Kang-woo struggles in his sleep and Myung-wol tries to wake him. He calls out, “No! Don’t go! Don’t go!” She shakes him hard enough that it startles him awake, and he shakes her off, covered in sweat and anxiety. She wonders to herself if he’s lost someone important in his life. “Maybe someone he loved left him? Or maybe his first love died?” Heh. Tragic death of first love is what comes to mind? I thought you weren’t familiar with the Hallyu wave. In-ah makes sure to show off her new bodyguard to Kang-woo, who doesn’t give a damn, but Myung-wol does, and she exchanges glances with Ryu. There’s a problem on set that day though, because the stuntwoman is unavailable, but then the producer perks up at the sight of Kang-woo’s bodyguard. Next thing you know, Myung-wol is strapped to a pulley and standing on the ledge of a building. Kang-woo watches dissatisfied and secretly worried about her, but he can only express it in his exasperated way, saying that they shouldn’t use someone so inexperienced. But it’s shoot or bust, so Myung-wol does the jump. It goes well at first, but then while she’s hanging in midair, the rope pulley breaks and she starts to fall… And Kang-woo reacts with his lightning-quick reflexes. He races over to catch her, just as she’s about to land splat on the ground. Startled, she looks up at him, and in that split second while he holds her in his arms, wearing that black mask, he gets a flash reminding him of that mysterious woman at the costume auction. Uh-oh. Does he recognize her? COMMENTS I like that Kang-woo is such a prickly diva, but that he’s also just hiding a soft underbelly for a lot of different reasons. His crazy fast reflexes are definitely curious, especially if you consider that he got to Myung-wol before Ryu even budged from the same spot. Curioser and curioser… I think the leads have some fantastic chemistry, both romantic and comedic, and I kind of can’t wait until he’s so in love with her that he goes crazy too. Hee. Myung-wol’s newness to everything is kind of hilarious, because it’s not just movies and tv, but actual words. I like that she’s prideful enough to fake her knowledge of things around Kang-woo, but then has to ask Dae-kang what words mean. It’s adorable, and that kind of childishness is so in sync with Kang-woo’s pettiness that it’s pretty much a perfect match. I hope he actually falls in love with her still thinking that she’s a few marbles shy. How funny is that going to be?
