Picture from filming  1   2

 

I am glad they start filming. The person who posted this said that it is a kiss scene.

 

 

With the pandemic, I'm glad they started filming early so they have some rooms.  They were sighted filming in Jeju Island this last few days.  I don't see notice about IG post any more. Are we able to link IG post directly, or still a no?

*****

I think Kim Tae Woo did not sign after all. It looks like the same role. So instead of Kim Tae woo, the role is played by Jung Seok Jong?

 

Oh no really?  I thought Kim Tae Woo confirmed for this drama and those are 2 different roles since the character names are different too... It would be a bummer if Kim Tae Woo not doing this role cuz I feel the senior-junior camaraderie between him and Eric would be interesting..  https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/article/076/0003591798

Maybe you are right. Reading Google translations is tricky. Most of the times I can guess what they are trying to say. I read he is a head of some department but what confused me was that Jung seok Yong`s character has a  mentor and father-like relationship with Eric`s character, just like Kim Tae woo`s chaarcter. I am glad to hear that Kim Tae Woo will appear in this show because I like him and I wanted to see him again. He will play in Queen Cheorin also.

It is tricky but Google trans is always my friend too!     Yes, I remember reading someone else also disguises as an employee at a publishing company but I forgot who it was.... It makes sense with the mentor/father-like relationship with Eric since they're senior/junior at Interpol as well as the life they disguised life.  Eric disguises as a travel writer, Jung Seok Yong as a CEO for the publishing house specialize in travel... both of their real  & disguised life have much in common.

 

 

 It really rained photos from Jeju on this day!!!

Finally some news. The Spy Who Loved Me was originally planned to have overseas filming but it was changed to Jeju Island because of Covid19. They was filming in Jeju from July 12 - 16th but  returned early as so much rain. Therefore, the supposed filming in Jeju was not completed 100%.  The article also said other drama productions are also affected because of torrential rain in Korea this past few weeks.

I’m so curious which country it was originally planned to film at.  Would be so cool if they filmed overseas huh?... I hope the rest of the filming goes smoothly and everyone taking good care of their health

Yes, it is true. i also read about ather dramas that are affected by the rain.

 

The MBC drama'The Spy Who Loved Me', starring Moon Jung-hyuk (Eric) and Yoo In-na, aired in October also took an emergency on the shooting schedule. This is a thrilling secret romantic comedy between two secret husbands and a woman caught up in spying. I filmed on Jeju Island from the 12th to the 16th of last month, but it rained and returned without 100% shooting as screduled. Eventually, they have to go to Jeju Island again.

You are welcome!  And they just come back to Jeju again on September 3rd to continue filming. I'm not sure how long they will be filming in Jeju this times but there is another typhoon expecting to hit Jeju on the 7th.  I hope everyone will be safe and complete the remaining shoots in time.  So much territorial rain and typhoons in Korea this past few months... It's crazy weather.

 

 

[ENGLISH SUB] 200904 Shinhwa’s Eric - Livestream From Jeju-do: “Wheat & Barley Are Growing”

 

Please turn on the caption for sub.

 

Eric posted this on his YT channel but he picked "kid content" for this video because he sang a kid song hence no comment is turned off by default. Not sure if it also turns off community subbing as well.  Some kind soul has subbed it on theirs.

 

 

Shortly after, Eric uploaded another video from stylist. They returned to the trailer and caught him singing the children song.

 

Hence, he aptly titled this video: “Wheat & Barley Got Caught”
Video description: “I did the live secretly, but our staffs came in to fix my makeup, singing ‘wheat & barley are growing’.” ~  busted! hahaha

 

 

 

 

Look at that cheeky smile when stylist Gayoung caught him singing the kid song

Eric treats his people well, being thoughtful & considerate. It’s no wonder many of them work(ed) for him for a long time

 

 

200904 Eric’s Stylist, Kim Gayong, IG Update from Jeju-do:

 

Looks like Eric gave a nice dinner treat to stylist and the staffs for the hard schedule.

 

Text from Eric to stylist Gayoung:

“What are you guys going to eat? Drama shoot is late tomorrow, go eat something delicious with the kids.”

 

Gayoung’s IG post:

Always busy filming~~
Filming late the next day after finishing early for the first time in awhile^^
The fact that I woke up at 4 A.M. this morning is no secret ㅋㅋ

200906 Stylist Gayoung’s IG Update: Eric and Team Having a Meal at Yeondon Tonkatsu in Jeju

We didn’t say a word.
We ate 3 cheese pork cutlet, 3 sirloin cutlet and 2 curry in 20 minutes ^^
It’s really delicious
It’s worth the time we waited for!!!
I want to eat again.
Thank you for making delicious pork cutlet.

According to stylist’s other post, they waited outside Yeondon Restaurant since 6AM in the rain for this meal.  This is a famous Tonkatsu restaurant (formerly Donka 2014 in Seoul) that was featured on “Baek Jong-won’s Alley restaurant”.  People would line up early in the morning or even the day before to get a spot.

Eric, Yoo In Na, And Im Joo Hwan’s Upcoming Spy Rom-Com Drama Reveals First Poster

 

Drama Preview

by R. Jun

 

MBC’s upcoming drama “The Spy Who Loved Me” (literal title) has revealed its first poster, featuring the main cast of Shinhwa’s Eric, Yoo In Na, and Im Joo Hwan.

“The Spy Who Loved Me” is a thrilling romantic comedy about a woman who gets caught up in espionage with her two secretive husbands. A source from the drama said, “The three main characters, who can never be together, will bring you an incredible war of espionage, laughter, and excitement.”

The drama will be a collaboration between producing director Lee Jae Jin of MBC’s “The Banker” and “My Daughter, Geum Sa Wol” and writer Lee Ji Min of the films “The Man Standing Next,” “Forbidden Dream,” and “The Age of Shadows.”

In the new poster, we see Eric as Jeon Ji Hoon, a secret Interpol agent who’s undercover as a travel photographer. Jeon Ji Hoon is the first husband of Kang Ah Reum, played by Yoo In Na. The two divorce, but later reunite under less-than-nice circumstances.

Kang Ah Reum is a wedding dress designer with a unique secret. She gets caught up with her undercover agent ex-husband and her corporate spy current husband Derek Hyun (played by Im Joo Hwan) and ends up getting thrown into a spy war.

Derek Hyun is the sweetest husband to Kang Ah Reum, but when it comes to matters of business, he is cold and calculated and doesn’t hesitate to take any measures necessary. When Kang Ah Reum’s ex-husband Jeon Ji Hoon makes an appearance, his perfectly built life and world begin to crumble.

The Spy Who Loved Me - Relationship Chart and Character Description

 

 

 

 

JUN JIHOON (MUN JUNG HYUK)
30 YEARS OLD, MALES, AREUM'S EX-HUSBAND

INTERPOL SECRET AGENT DISGUISED AS A TRAVEL WRITER

 

 

A working spy disguised as a travel writer. A man of responsibility. A handsome man born with a tall and superior physique. With his innate agility and acquired know-how, his instinctive sense is in the top 0.1%. Coming from the background as the national representative for the National Youth Shooting Team, he is an Interpol secret agent.

 

In addition to his smarts, he is fluent in English, Japanese, Chinese and German. Most of all, his gentle smile and down-to-earth charm gets him a free pass anywhere in the world. With a strong sense of responsibility, his undimmible fighting spirit, and his firm conviction that the evil forces should be confronted, a spy is the best job for Jihoon.

 

And then he met the pretty and confident Areum. He married her 6 months after their first meeting. Jihoon was confident. That he’ll be able to protect both work and love. However, he knows that his frequent overseas business trips and an unstable daily life have put their marriage at risk. And then he realized that his promise to always keep Areum by his side is ridiculous. It was arrogant and conceited of him to believe that he could be her family and stand by her. Most of all, he realized that he couldn’t do it with an unstable job.

 

After breaking up with Areum, he devoted himself to Interpol work. He reunites with Areum after 5 years at a place where she went to see an informant.

MBC’s upcoming drama “The Spy Who Loved Me” has released its first teaser!

“The Spy Who Loved Me” is a thrilling romantic comedy about a woman who gets caught up in espionage with her two secretive husbands. Yoo In Na stars as Kang Ah Reum, a wedding dress designer. Eric stars as Jeon Ji Hoon, her ex-husband, a secret Interpol agent who is undercover as a travel photographer. Im Joo Hwan stars as Derek Hyun, a corporate spy and Kang Ah Reum’s current husband.

In the new teaser, Yoo In Na puts together a wedding dress and says, “To trick and to be tricked. To trust and to pretend to trust. Marriage is an intelligence war.” The wedding dress then twists to resemble the gun barrel sequence made famous by the James Bond series. As she locks her husbands in her targets, she says, “Now, let’s speak the truth, shall we?” Both Eric and Im Joo Hwan exude charisma in their roles as spies, but both get tangled up in their lies and Yoo In Na’s charms (who is armed with sewing scissors).

New teaser for The Spy Who Loved Me with Yoo Inna, Eric, and Im Joo-hwan

by tccolb

A new poster and video teaser has been released for MBC’s upcoming rom-com The Spy Who Loved Me, featuring lead actors Yoo Inna (Reach of Sincerity), Eric (Unique! Chef Moon), and Im Joo-hwan (The Game: Towards Zero). The story is about a woman who suddenly finds herself in a turmoil. Her best friend mysteriously disappears and she finds herself in the middle of a spy war when she discovers that her ex-husband as well as her current husband are somehow involved and are both hiding secret identities.

The central character is played by Yoo Inna. A wedding dress designer named Kang Ah-reum, she simply wanted to live the dream of having a perfect wedding, a perfect husband and a family, and living happily ever after. She married Eric after a whirlwind romance, but then got divorced just a year and a half later. Fortunately she found love and marriage again with Im Joo-hwan. But one day, her best friend goes missing and Eric makes a surprising appearance at said best friend’s bachelorette party. Yoo Inna is then confronted with the truth and dilemma of who her former husband and her current husband really are.

Eric takes on the role of Jeon Ji-hoon. Posing as a travel writer by day, he works as a secret agent for Interpol and is described as responsible, intuitive, and highly skilled. When he met Yoo Inna, he was determined to protect both his career as well as his relationship. However, it became increasingly difficult due to the dangerous nature of his job and having to keep secrets from his wife. Their marriage became strained, and soon came to an end when Eric concluded to himself that he couldn’t always protect Yoo completely.

Im Joo-hwan plays Derek Hyun, who also lives a double life: working undercover as a government diplomat while secretly running a spy agency. He enjoys collecting and trading classic cars, considers himself highbrow, and is also courteous with a sweet and gentle nature. Meeting Yoo Inna was a turning point in his life. He fell in love with her at first sight and it brought out his romantic side. Although he continues his shady business in secret, he remains completely devoted to her and his love is genuine.

MBC's prime time dramas haven't been doing well in rating lately.  With writer who penned The Man Standing Next, Forbidden Dream, The Age of Shadows + the production that did Misty and Romance is a Bonus Book , I hope this drama will be good. 

 

Yoo In Na Introduces Suspicious Husbands Eric Mun & Lim Ju Hwan In “The Spies Who Loved Me” Teasers

Published on September 19, 2020 by abbyinhallyuland

 

MBC’s new drama The Spies Who Loved Me rolls teasers in true autumn romantic colors!

Top-billed by Eric Mun, Yoo In Na and Lim Ju Hwan, sweet tricks already burst in teasers revealed for The Spies Who Loved Me.

 

 

Directed by Lee Jae Jin (The Banker), the series will be penned by acclaimed screenwriter Lee Ji Min. Her works include films The Man Standing Next, Forbidden Dream and The Age of Shadows to name a few. Notably, the new MBC series will be his first project on small screen.

 

The Spies Who Loved Me is billed as a romantic comedy between two secret husbands and a woman caught in a spy war. It promises to give pleasant smile and excitement for the viewers.

 

Launching its first video trailer, the series raises anticipation as the main leads give a peek on their quirky love entanglement story. Set to portray the female lead, Yoo In Na was revealed preparing a wedding dress. She narrates how “marriage is about spying, pretending to be deceived and believing no matter what”.

 

Making their appearance in the teaser video, Eric Mun and Lim Ju Hwan equally look both ravishing in their spy personas highlighted by a James Bond gun barrel sequence. Then, it ends to a quick snap of Yoo In Na holding sharp scissors asking the two men to tell her the truth.

 

 

The Two Husbands of Kang Ah Reum

Previously, the first teaser poster was also unveiled featuring the three actors. Interpol secret agent Jeon Ji-hoon (Eric Mun) disguises as a travel writer. His eyes emit sharp a sharp gleam hard not to notice.

 

Exuding soft charisma, wedding dress designer Kang Ah-reum (Yoo In Na), looks sleek in white suit. She definitely lives up to a don’t-mess-with-me attitude. Drawing attention with his enigmatic vibe, industrial spy Derek Hyun (Lim Ju Hwan), hides his dangerous side with a faint smile.

 

Further enticing the audience with their entanglement is the cryptic phrase, “my husbands are suspicious”. The expressive stares and vibrant colors induce an attractive energy The Spies Who Loved Me aims to achieve on its trajectory.

 

Rom-com King Eric Mun transforms into Ah-reum’s first husband Ji-hoon. After a fated meeting they get married happily. But, their relationship faced twists and turns leading to a divorce.

 

She then married her second husband Derek Hyun. Ah-reum couldn’t ask for more, having a sweet and well-mannered husband. His only fixation is his passion for his work as an industrial spy, which she doesn’t know about.

 

However, Ji-hoon reunites with Ah-reum because of an unexpected incident. Thus, the perfect married life Derek Hyun built, begins to shake.

 

1. Backing up The Spies Who Loved Me is Story&Pictures production team. The company is recognized for notable works including Misty and Romance is a Bonus Book.

 

The series will be aired for the first time on MBC in October.
