Okay good! I think I'll give it episode 7 and then see.
I'm LOVING Myung Wol the Spy right now.
It's almost a mix between Tamra and Capital Scandal where we have almost an alterna universe, hi-jinks, plenty of OTP interaction, and equally as good secondary characters. I'm really enjoying the madcap vibe because I tend to love dramas that are either fusion or a bit weird when they come around.
Erik is just one of those actors who are completely magnetic and very sexy on screen. Myung Wol and him have so much chemistry. Cannot wait for the moment when he's falling for the not chaebol high schooler who is actually a North Korean spy. And although Myung Wol can take down anyone, she's actually quite naive about the world and just believes she's doing her job. The actress is doing great balancing toughness and also her naivety at times.
Also, the part where the elder spy (he's great) tries to get into the hospital hotel room made me laugh out loud. So yes, amazing drama and cannot wait till the next episode.
I only watched ep 1 (plan to watch 2 tomorrow) but I adored it too. I agree with the Capital Scandal vibe - historically it's pretty wrong (don't get me started on the accuracy of its view of NK) but it's an internally consistent world and the writing is so sharp, the characters so well-drawn with insane chemistry and there is a wonderful possibility for character growth, high stakes and angst.
I adore Myung Wol. Eric is a sexy sexy beast and my hormones go into overdrive every time he's on-screen and I enjoy his character but Myung Wol is my POV one.
Haha yeah there are so many inconsistencies but I just take it for what it is. Looking forward to Myung Wol's growth and how she navigates herself in this strange place.
Yup, I don't need it to be historically accurate as long as it's internally consistent and it is. And yup, I love how MW is pretty much an alien to it all.

I have to say he might be ego-bound but I love that unlike e.g. Dokko Jin in Best Love, he seems like a plausible person not a cartoon.
