I've come to terms with Mi Nam being helpless. It can't bother me if I just don't care.
That being said, I REALLY didn't appreciate Shin Woo guilting her about not showing up for his date. I thought that was pretty out of line, and he's been so weasely about knowing who she really is I just can't take it anymore. Man up and say something or get out of the way. He doesn't have a right to get bent out of shape if she doesn't know what his problem is.
As it was flash of Shin Woo being a real person/character instead of a cardboard cutout of a perfect secondary male lead I cheered.
He wasn't in the right but at least it wasn't a super obvious plot device like the stylist constantly spilling everything to to Haye or his not telling Minam he knows the truth.
I'd say, pass? I saw a lot of the DCgall crowd give it a try at the height of LS (when they were watching anything-JJH they could get their hands on), but that was the one thing they just couldn't get through. Hope that doesn't pique your curiosity even more... but you could always wait until IRIS is over.
He's had a more successful movie career (in terms of box office, he's in the top 10-20, though obviously that keeps changing), but he also passed on a number of good offers, notably, most famously, Jang Dong-Gun's role in Friend. The irony? Because he's often far too loyal, unlike (I suppose) SaWoo. He had a prior commitment when the role came to him, wasn't willing to go back on his word, and recommended JDG instead.

unless I can tie this with 'hey, here's another fascinating spy/NK officer female role in k-dramas' topic...
Just came across a terrific Eye of Dawn MV starring Go Hyun-Jung (in one of her debut roles, though it's no wonder PD Kim Jong-Hak picked her again for the iconic HyeRin in Sandglass) and Park Sang-Won (whom you'll recognize from Legend). One of these days, I've got to make time for this...

I don't know if these will help assuage your JJH obsession or not but here I go anyway...
* This one's a deleted scene from ep. 15, which takes place when JaeBin comes home from SunHee's and sees his PAs checking out the reactions online. And he's just so wonderful here... after the day he's had, he's the one consoling them, sending them home & thanking them for their hard work. And as if that wasn't enough, once he sees what's out there, and how they're ripping into him, guess what he does first? Call SH to make sure she's not seeing any of this, though he's not so direct, just asking her if she knows how to use a PC, and telling her to stay away b/c all that exposure to radiation is not good for her health, etc. And on SH's side, she's doing the same thing, trying not to worry him with Jimin's reaction, telling him she's just hanging out with her friend (when he asks how she's doing, and whether she's had a chance to talk to Jimin). Pretty sure I couldn't love these two more if I tried...
What I want to know is why, when they have two lead actors, one of whom speaks English and one does not, they pick the lack-of-English one to play the guy from America. Why?
