Reasons to watch: This week’s premiere features Yoo Inna with Eric and Im Joo-hwan as the main points of a love triangle made even more complicated by a sprinkling of espionage. Yoo Inna’s calm, happy life is thrown into turmoil when her best friend suddenly goes missing and her ex-husband Eric pops back into her life. Eric’s presence means complicated feelings for Yoo, but it means something more dangerous to her current husband, Im Joo-hwan. Unbeknownst to her, both husbands have been leading double lives, with Eric being an Interpol agent and Im Joo-hwan a corporate spy. As Yoo Inna grapples with the secrets of the two men who love her, she also has to cope with the new knowledge that her life isn’t what she thought it to be. MBC’s had a relatively quiet and hit-free year so far, but I’m hoping that Spies can turn things around for them. May there be great humor, swoony moments and lots of shots of Eric in a leather vest!
