Plot
In the romantic-comedy "Spy Myeong-Wol," beautiful North Korean spy Myeong-Wol (Han Ye-Seul) goes to South Korea in an attempt to kidnap a popular Korean male entertainer Kang Woo (Eric).
Han Myeong-Wol is an agent in North Korea working to suppress the rising wave of South Korean pop culture in North Korea. She goes after people who watch South Korean dramas, movies, or pop music, but she hopes to one day move up as an agent in the special forces. Myeong-Wol then takes a test to become a special agent, but fails the test. Nevertheless, Myeong-Wol doesn't give up her hope of becoming a special agent just like her father.
Myeong-Wol is then given a mission to go to Singapore as the bodyguard for a high ranking military officer's daughter. The daughter is crazy about Korean pop star Kang Woo (Eric) and goes specifically to Singapore to watch his concert. The daughter is accompanied to Singapore by Myeong-Wol and the chief of special agent team Choi Ryu (Lee Jin-Wook). After the concert, the military officer's daughter asks Myeong-Wol to get Kang-Woo's autograph. Myeong-Wol obliging the daughter, follows Kang-Woo but finds it difficult to obtain his autograph. Kang Woo brushes off Myeong-Wol and states he doesn't give autographs in the public. Finally, Myeong-Wol sneaks into a masked auction event where Kang-Woo participates. Kang Woo buys an old book that is part of a 4 book collection. Meanwhile, Myeong-Wol goes near Kang Woo to get his autograph. At that time, 3 masked men attack Kang Woo to get the book. Myeong-Wol thwarts the 3 masked men's attempt by throwing a pen.
When Han Myeong-Wol goes back to North Korea she meets with the chief of special agents Choi Ryu. Choi Ryu informs Myeong-Wol that he won't pick her for the special agent team. At that moment, Myeong-Wol notices the pen she threw at the masked auction event in Singapore. Myeong-Wol then realizes that she ruined their mission. Myeong-Wol then decides to go to South Korea to complete their mission without informing her superiors.
When Myeong-Wol arrives in South Korea she follows Kang Woo around by visiting the shooting locations for the drama series he is appearing in. During a break in filming, Myeong-Wol approaches Kang Woo and then notices leaking gas. Instinctively, she jumps on Kang-Woo and saves his life. Mywong-Wol is hospitalized and the media jumps on the story.
Meanwhile in North Korea, they learn that Han Myeong-Wol saved Kang Woo's life. They contact North Korean spy Han Hee-Bok (Jo Hyeong-Ki), who is already working undercover in South Korea, to give Myeong-Wol a new mission. The new mission is for Han Myeong-Wol to marry Kang Woo and persuade him to defect to North Korea ...

I really don't understand why the ratings were so low..I personally loved the drama and was totally addicted to it.
Even with the scandal HYS created with her leaving, I don't blame her --- classic case of industry greed vs human rights
Anyways, those hesitant of watching this series, don't be! Definitely top 10 .. perhaps top 5 for me out of the many I've watched (50+)

Wow I was so dissappointed with this drama. Han Ye Seul is one of my favorite actresses and I was really looking forward to this drama because I love everything she is in. But I gotta say, this drama really sucked. What I hated most of all was Gang U. Not the actor, but his character. He was such a jerk. Yeah, in most kdrama's the guy is a jerk, but he was over the top. He was never nice to Myung Wol, and somehow she still fell in love with him. He even slapped her! WTF!

This is one of the best ever. Han YeSeul is the next Meryl Streep. She is a marvelous actress!

Did anyone here notice that Eun seo's character disappeared? She was there for a few episodes but then disappeared all together. According to some of the info I read, she was supposed to play a major role in investigating KangWoo and that she was playing an NSI agent. What happened to her character?

Please let Kang Woo and Myeongwol be together till the end, they are perfect for each other. Choi ro yu and Ju Ina should end uo together. Greatest love story for the season. Awesome drama/awesome.

Super enjoyed epi 9 n 10 when myeogwol became actress. I super loved the last scene were she did not ff the script and spoke what was in her heart.much more endearing was kang woo's reaction. Cant believe the low ratings?This is one of the best series i have watched.its like riding a roller coaster.you ll feel sad then happy.i loved it that eric's character is unpredictable.how major choi restrains his feelings for myeongwol.what makes this series more endearing is the ost.super loved lena park's song.what is there for anyone not to love this series.why cant the others see what we appreciate? Fighting spy myeongwol!

Owh..man the rating is going down,why!!!why!!??its getting better!! is it because Han Ye-Seul left for a while? Owh..well who cares about the rating I love it is one of the best k-Drama its different then others,the writers are amazing,its not typical.All the actors and actresses are amazing, I can't wait for episode 14! >_< I'm from Brunei Darussalam just started watching this drama yesterday on youtube just finish ep13, because its not aired and famous in my country yet,didn't really sleep that much because its addictive unlike most of the kdrama nowadays that I watched I haven't got that over excitement,heart-wrenching,emotional feelings since My Girl,Full house,Mischievous kiss,every episode is adventurous and hilarious.Its definitely different in my view.The reason why I started to watch this Drama is because of Han Ye-Seul I love her in couple or trouble,great actress,the reason why I keep on watching this non-stop is because of Eric and Lee Jin-Wook they are both talented and amazingly HOT!! their eyes are attractive.Watched Eric on Super Rookie,he was very different back than he sure know how to bring his role.Once I finish watching this I will watch it again! that's how good this drama is v(^__^)v hope you enjoy this as much as I do.Those who haven't watch this its a must!you won't regret it,Have a great day everyone!! ;D
