The Spies Who Loved Me (Naleul Saranghan Seupai / 나를 사랑한 스파이)

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACES, AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL

EPISODE 1

The bride has just arrived.

-Good morning. -Darn it! Everything is ruined.

A whole bunch of reporters are camped outside.

They saw me.

Who leaked my schedule?

We didn't tell anyone.

How could they have known then?

I told my mom the wedding venue only yesterday.

I think one of your staff leaked it.

Ms. Kang.

Calm down a bit.

Is there a back door?

Get the car ready. I'm calling off the wedding.

I'm not going to walk down the aisle like this.

Could you please get a glass of ice water for her?

Okay. I'll go.

You must be getting hot underneath that coat.

Let me take off your coat first.

You're sweating a lot.

It's hot, isn't it?

If photos of my belly get out, everyone will call me a liar.

I can't live with being called a liar.

Not in this state.

What if she actually calls off the wedding?

What about the wedding dress?

It's 1.5 million, a 1 million and 80,000 won...

All right. Ms. Bae. Ms. Yoon.

Mr. Ma and Ms. Song.

-I think she's coming out. -There she is!

It's her!

Who is this guy?

What's his problem?

-There she is! -It's her!

Ms. Kang Yoo-ra!

FACT NOW PRESS CAR

Thanks.

Congratulations.

I wish you a happy married life.

Smile for the camera!

It's not her again.

Let's wrap it up.

Let's go.

Don't step on the dress.

Okay.

A wedding dress.

Whether or not you dream about your wedding day,

all women fantasize about wearing a wedding dress.

But a wedding dress is not

simply an object of fantasy.

Its true beauty lies

in the intrinsic beauty that is unseen.

The dress is the end result

of painstaking work.

To parents, it's proof of a marriage transaction.

You could also call it a body fat calculator.

It hurts!

In the battlefield of marriage,

the dress is a beautiful piece of body armor.

Newlyweds enjoy the best years of marriage.

When a married couple realize

that they are not on the same side,

the war begins.

Actually, it's when reality sinks in.

I'm now on my second marriage after going through a bad one.

That man standing outside

is my second husband.

He's a South Korean diplomat.

He has an uncanny ability in making allies.

He is so good at it

that he was able to change

my mind about not getting married again

after my first one failed.

As long as your husband doesn't take the side of another woman,

it's all good.

My husband always takes my side.

-In the long struggle of life, -Honey.

he is my ally, companion, and husband.

The fact that he's handsome is a bonus.

That clinched the deal for me.

You need to discuss that

with the international energy security bureau.

We should bring up that agenda

at the six-nation summit.

Of course.

If you need me to interpret, just give me a call.

All right. Have a good day.

How did you make time when you're so busy?

I had dinner with Harrison. He got stationed at the US embassy.

He's a friend I knew at the UN.

Oh, him.

He's stationed here?

Whenever I see him,

he looks more like a police officer than a diplomat.

And a US diplomat at that.

-Really? -Yes.

He's got a sly grin, which is not something of a diplomat.

I think he's an undercover CIA agent.

Well, if it looks that obvious, then it can't be true.

What about Sophie's wedding?

You can't go together with me, can you?

I'll go straight to the wedding after my meeting.

Sophie set us up on a blind date.

I felt guilty for not repaying her until now.

Especially, since I'm a dress designer.

I'm so glad that I'll be able to gift her a wedding dress.

She's having a big wedding, isn't she?

Because it's an international marriage.

She invited all of her college friends

and work friends in America.

For the bachelor and bachelorette parties,

they rented several buses.

They're going to make a lot of noise in Jeju.

A car part I ordered finally got here.

Thanks. My friends say that I'm lucky

to have a wife who understands my hobby.

I'm understanding about it

because you've succeeded in life.

Don't be too late.

Okay.

Maybe I let him off too easily from the start.

As long as he doesn't tinker with motorcycles.

Hello.

Is it in white?

It's my wife's favorite color.

This is a big first wedding anniversary gift, isn't it?

Well, she likes big things.

Are you also planning to surprise her with a diamond ring?

She doesn't need that while driving.

-Hoho-niku. -Hoho-niku.

Why is the CIA engaged

in petty industrial espionage?

Mr. Cho.

My name is Shin Ik-hyun.

I'm the director of Janice, a cybersecurity startup.

I was trying to provide

a program to the Helmes Corporation

that can trace cryptocurrency transactions

linked to bankrolling nefarious plots without leaving any tracks.

It's kind of warm in here.

The deal is off.

MO PARK SONG LEE

You're a fast runner.

We apprehended him.

What?

Let him go, Chief?

Catching an industrial spy is so much harder than

catching a cheating spouse. You know that.

I pulled it off...

I'll brief him myself.

CIA agent Harrison is working as a regional conflict expert

PROFILE AND INVESTIGATION OF HARRISON YOUNG

undercover at the US embassy.

But about three years ago, he was recruited by

the Helmes Corporation and engaged in selling corporate secrets.

He started off by providing classified information to Helmes.

Afterwards, he got directly involved in stealing corporate secrets.

Our source at

Interpol's industrial espionage bureau alerted us about Harrison,

and we learned that he had approached

Shin Ik-hyun, a director at a cybersecurity startup, Janice.

Their kids go to the same international school.

He was after Shin's sophisticated cyber tool.

During a sting operation

where we posed as buyers for Huilou, a Chinese cybersecurity firm,

we nabbed Harrison.

Which he got from Shin Ik-hyun, but it was our trap.

Tell him we'll get back to them

after we've done a thorough investigation on our end.

We will conduct an internal investigation

and inform you later about the results.

Harrison is deeply involved in Helmes' espionage activities.

We're strongly against letting him leave the country.

Mr. Jeon.

If you think I'm going to hand over one of my agents to you

just because you asked nicely,

you're sorely mistaken.

Our source who told us about Harrison is willing to stand as a witness.

And who might that be?

I'll say it again.

Who is it?

I'm not obligated to divulge that information to you.

Have a nice weekend.

Please make Harrison available for questioning on Monday.

I will bring our informant with me.

That'll be all.

You're back, Ji-hun?

The CIA chief wasn't happy, was he?

They're going to take all the credit.
