North Korean Beautiful Spy

Does anyone follow 'Spy Myeong Wol'?? I do I do!! This drama replace 'Baby Faced Beauty' in KBS channel. At first glance you might thought this drama is not interesting but you thought wrong. The first episode itself (my personal opinion) was already fun to watch. Honestly, this is my first time watching Han Ye Seul and Eric (Shinwa) acting in drama. And this drama is comeback drama for Eric after he was discharged from his military service.

Spy Myeong Wol is about a story of Han Myeong Wol, a North Korean military army, who is desperately wants to join the Special Ops team (just like her late father) but she's just wasn't good enough. Currently, she is in the department of something like entertainment team (something like that lah), where she captures all the people who are distributing unauthorized drama/movie (something like CD ciplak lah). At the moment, Lee Kang Woo, a hallyu star from South Korea, is the big star where everyone adores. Since North Korean at the moment doesn't have the 'hallyu wave' yet, Myeong Wol Comrade decided to kidnap Kang Woo and bring him to North Korea to serve as the star there, so that she can be in the Special Ops team. At first she went to South Korea alone and without telling anyone. After she made a scene, where she saved Kang Woo from an explosion at his shooting site, news spread out and the North Korean military people knew Myeong Wol's whereabout. There is where they sent Myeong Wol's boss, Choi Ryu, to assist Myeong Wol in her mission to bring Kang Woo to North Korea. She did everything to become closer to Kang Woo until she saved him again from drowning. Then, Kang Woo's boss took Myeong Wol as Kang Woo's bodyguard. They become much closer and rumors spread out that they were in love. The North Koreans found out and they can't wait any longer for the mission to complete, they send a new mission, that is Myeong Wol needs to marry Kang Woo!! So, there it started again Myeong Wol did everything to get Kang Woo married to her until Kang Woo himself falls in love with Myeong Wol unknowingly and so did Myeong Wol. Can they be together and will Kang Woo follows Myeong Wol to North Korea voluntarily or will Myeong Wol return to North Korea alone??

I personally like this scene because they were true to each other and honest to each other regarding their feelings and as if this is the real ending of their love (although this is only the acting scene they had to do).

I would recommend to watch this drama because you will fall in love with Eric as Kang Woo. His acting in this drama is awesome. Can't help with the "uuuuuus" and "aaaaaaahhss" while watching Kang Woo and Myeong Wol =))

There were some difficulties making this drama, whereby somewhere in the middle of making episode 12, Han Ye Seul didn't show up for shooting because she had some arguments with the director (news said it) until she requested for a different director. She even flew back to LA (her family stays there), looking like she's boycotting the production team. KBS was about to sue Han Ye Seul for he no-show-up and the losses she created, when Han Ye Seul let her guard down and apologized for her attitude. Some say, Han Ye Seul couldn't cope with the difficult scenes the production team made her do (probably the stunts and all the tough scenes). But anyhow, she made it back to the shooting plan and now they are finishing the drama. The problem arise here is when they shoot the drama by episode, and straight away air it after finished editing. Probably they should shoot all of the episode earlier before they air them officially. That's my opinion lah. But the must have a reason for airing them simultaneously with the shooting still going on.

The OST for Spy Myeong Wol also very nice. I personally like 'More Than Anyone Else in The World' by Lena Park. Super Junior's Ryeo Wook also lend him voice for this drama 'If You Love Me More'. Bobby Kim 'Afraid of Love' also a nice track to listen to.  

You can watch this drama online or watch it at Astro channel 391 (KBS World) on Monday and Tuesday 9 PM or watch the replays on Saturdays 2 - 4.30 PM.

Okay, till then ~
