The Spies Who Loved Me

Korean Drama " The Spies who loved me " sounds a bit like the American movie, and has more interesting aspects, but it's messy and doesn't serve the plot well.

The drama juggles two themes: the mysterious case of the leading lady's best friend, and the game of temptation and lies between the two ex spouses and the two current spouses. For the mystery, it was okay, enough thrilling to keep things interesting, and with plenty of action and players. The bromance helped here as well, adding humor to the plot. However, the leading lady turning out to be a super spy was a bit off and sudden. As for the romance, it was odd because of the pacing. The drama went back and forth on whom it supported as the love interest. For once, it made it clear that the leading lady was still not over her ex and that it was possible for them to get back together, when, at the same time, it promoted the current husband as the perfect man for her, a man who loved her more than her ex. And, finally, they did the complete messed up thing of confusing their characters even more with that ending.

Other than that, the performances were great and the action scenes well orchestrated. But, the drama got boring at times, especially towards the ending.

So, overall, 4.5 out of 10.
