Counting down the days until its premiere, a new video teaser has been released for MBC’s upcoming rom-com The Spies Who Loved Me (formerly The Spy Who Loved Me).
The drama stars Yoo Inna (Reach of Sincerity) as a character who thought her life was finally settling down. After her whirlwind romance with Eric (Unique! Chef Moon) ended in divorce, she felt lucky to find happiness again with current husband Im Joo-hwan (The Game: Towards Zero). Fate, of course, had other plans. With the sudden re-appearance of ex-husband Eric, her best friend mysteriously goes missing. As she joins the search, Yoo discovers that everyone she trusted has been lying to her — including both Eric and Im Joo-hwan.
As a preview of the upcoming premiere, the newly released teaser takes another look at Eric and Yoo Inna’s relationship. It starts with a sequence of flashbacks with romantic music playing in the background as Eric explains, “Sometimes you have these moments when you feel like the rest of your life can be a mess if it means you can experience them.” As Eric comes to the end of his narration, though, his voice and the music become warped. We cut to Eric and Yoo Inna sitting together in the present, and a frustrated Yoo asks: “Is there something to smile about when thinking about our past?”
In the next sequence, we see how Eric ran into Yoo Inna again in the present. Looking at an email, he reads: “I invite you to my bachelorette party.” A male voice off-screen asks, “And you don’t know who sent you this lead?” Disguising himself as a dancer, Eric goes to the party and notices Yoo Inna looking for someone. “My friend, this is her bachelorette party,” she explains. Cut to two consecutive text screens: “Marriage, an operation variable,” and, “Divorce, an operation variable.”
All the while, the missing bride-to-be Yoon So-hee (Witch’s Love) is seen pacing outside and then on the run. As Eric searches a shipping port, he reports, “I think my position has been compromised. I will take responsibility and take care of the situation.” The video cuts back to Eric and Yoo Inna as it comes to a close. As they look at each other, Yoo says, “Night vision on, lips sealed. You know, right?” After driving off together on a motorcycle, they approach each other under a night sky lit with fireworks. Yoo Inna narrates, “We met each other again like this. At the island where our love first started.”
Written by screenwriter Lee Ji-min (The Man Standing Next) and directed by PD Lee Jae-jin (The Banker), MBC’s next Wednesday-Thursday drama The Spies Who Loved Me premieres next week on October 21.
