Any hero can take a bullet for his love interest... BUT HOW MANY WILL BECOME A COMMUNIST?
Eps 3 finds our hero in a state of confused longing because he can't stop thinking about Myung Wol. Why is she always on his mind? Is he really falling for her? Why can't he stop seeing her everywhere?
Well, it might be because she's a North Korean spy who has studied romantic movies and decided to implement an elaborate scheme to BECOME EVERY WOMAN HE MEETS. "Make him doubt his own eyes! Why does every woman seem to be you? He'll go crazy."
WELL? ARE YOU IN LOVE YET?
Previously on MWTS, there was surprise kissing! Which just so happened to be recorded by Ryu.
But he doesn't care. At all. Nope.
ROMANCE, NORTH KOREA STYLE.
.............SORRY?
REFLEX.
It was at this point I realized Kang Woo must be a closet masochist. I mean, I love Myung Wol because she's a fiercely badass adoradork who can immobilize her enemies by their pinky fingers, but he doesn't know that. As far as he's concerned she's just a weirdo who constantly stalks him. AND YET HE KEEPS MEETING HER ANYWAY.
It's gotta be love. There's no other explanation.
Kang Woo has a deathly fear of snakes! So Myung Wol decides to plant one. This is seriously the most amazing drama ever.
"IT'S A SNAKE!!"
"They're good survival food when you're stuck in the woods."
".................................."
LOLOLOLOL THIS SCENE. Kang Woo retains his dignity, but barely. You can see in his eyes that he's going OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.
IS IT GONE??
MW's handlers lurk in the bushes after advising her on her next move. "NO MAN CAN RESIST A WOMAN IN WATER," they say, so she frolics prettily.
GAH. LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT HER. I NEED SO MANY ICONS.
Myung Wol decides to take the "scene" to the next level... by fake drowning. In water that only comes up to her knees. LOLOLOLOL.
Kang Woo dives in the lake to rescue her!
BUT WAIT!
OHHHHHHH GODDDDDDDDDD!!!
LOLOLOLOLOL. HE PANICS AND STARTS DROWNING HIMSELF. Myung Wol's face is priceless. "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING HERE?"
And that's the story of how Myung Wol had to save Kang Woo from her own drowning gambit. She can't even pretend to be the damsel in distress.
Having saved his ass... twice... Myung Wol's handlers decide that her schoolgirl cover is just too unbelievable now. (Now?) They instead go to Kang Woo's management and make her his BODYGUARD.
No, it doesn't make sense in context, either. Just look at MW in a suit until critical thought drifts away.
Like all things, Myung Wol takes guard duty seriously. She's with him when he wakes up! She's with him when he works out! She's with him when he checks his abs in the mirror!
Look, we all have to make sacrifices for the motherland.
ALWAYS WATCHING.
Water bottles? Sunlight? Dry cleaning? Nothing will harm Kang Woo on her watch! (The funniest part is that it's supposed to a joke - haha, she's worried about a staple - but then you remember who this is. I BET SHE REALLY COULD KILL SOMEONE WITH IT.)
Case in point: when protesters cause a fuss outside his house, MW is dispatched to take care of them.
Diplomacy!
COME AT HER, BRO!
ada;fsdfljsdf;flsdjflsdfjsdk she took an entire crowd of angry protesters and made them do punishment laps. BEHOLD THE POWER OF HER PEN-STABBING, PINKY-BENDING BADASSERY.
AND THEN SHE TAKES ON BITCHY SECONDARY GIRL. YES YES YES.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
NO SERIOUSLY. YOU CAN'T PASS. MYUNG WOL WON'T FUCKING LET YOU. OH, WHAT'S THAT? YOU WANT ANOTHER TASTE OF HER IRON JUSTICE?
She tries to slap Myung Wol three times. And three times she gets shut right the fuck down. HAHAHAHAHA.
There's only one enemy she can't defeat...
Fangirls.
Well, she solved this problem once, right? She faces off the fangirls the same way she dealt with the protesters - aka by treating them like enemy combatants, staring down "the alpha" and declaring her intent to kick ass.
It's just...
It's just that this time...
They aren't backing down.
LOLOLOLOL. North Korean terrorists? No problem! Chain-wielding ninja fighters? Barely a threat! But a hoard of angry teenage fangirls? SHIT, THEY'RE JUST MONSTERS.
However, her defeat does mean she needs new clothes. And her boss is also a hot rich celebrity who will throw money at her while pretending not to. Everybody wins!
Especially me, because I get to see Kang Woo in a bow tie!
Let's just say that if she were a piece of cake, Kang Woo would have failed his diet hard.

EXCUSE ME WHILE I PICSPAM THIS SCENE FOREVER.
She steps on his toes! He dips her!! *__________*
LOL HE IS SO JEALOUS. He looks like he's at a middle school prom and no one will dance with him. SO SO JEALOUS.
flksdjflajdfskldfjsdkfjsd I think their little almost-smiles here were cuter and hotter and more romantic than anything else in the drama so far. Also? EYE CONTACT. Hnnnnnnnnnnnggggg.
Then he ruins it by answering his phone in the middle of a song. Lol, what?
He rushes out, and Myung Wol takes off after him. But secondary girl STEPS ON HER DRESS! Oh no she didn't. OH YES SHE DID.
Awesome Myung Wol Moment #283635353: she stops, stares, looks at secondary girl, looks at her dress, and then finishes ripping it and leaves. She has more important things to worry about.
"What happened to your dress?"
"Um."
Ryu continues to brutally crush any hint of human emotion, which is hilarious and weirdly adorable because he has to be the most repressed secondary guy ever. I mean, he goes way beyond your standard kdrama-third-wheel-unrequited-gazing-from-afar-guy. This dude is so repressed and self-denying he is literally from North Korea. And now he has FEELINGS.
His idea of checking up on her? Throwing a dagger at her head while she's looking off into space. I. I just. THIS GUY.
YOU PROBABLY CAN'T TELL FROM CAPS BUT HIS EYEBROW KINDA TWITCHES HERE. IT'S A BIG DEAL.
Myung Wol practices being a girl.
"Oppa? Oppa. O~ppa! Oppa~~!"
LOL, YOU AND ME BOTH.
"Oppa~!"
".............Call me oppa again and you're dead."
They're on set for Kang Woo's new movie, and they JUST SO HAPPEN to need a stunt double, and Myung Wol JUST SO HAPPENS to have these skills, and seriously I couldn't love this drama anymore if I tried. IT'S SO RIDICULOUS. IT DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO BE REAL.
"Well, we could take the time to make this scene plausible... or we could put Han Ye Seul on a rooftop! With a mask! And make her FLY!"
IT'S A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE! IT'S THE PLOT TOTALLY FLYING AWAY!
"You."
OMO!
