New stills from Myung-wol the Spy

by javabeans

Well, the behind-the-scenes drama may have left some awkwardness, but at least in front of the cameras it appears we’re back on track with KBS’s Myung-wol the Spy: New couple stills featuring Han Ye-seul and Eric show a happier near future for Myung-wol and Kang-woo, who are dressed in matching couple shirts and out on a date.

Once the Great Kerfuffle of ’11 finally hit upon a resolution after disrupting production and dominating headlines all week, filming resumed with its lead actress on August 18 (Han flew to the States on the 15th, then almost immediately returned to Korea on the 17th). She gave a tearful apology to the crew on her first day back, during lunch hour, after which “filming returned to normalcy.”

Purported normalcy aside, it’s gotta be weird for all, so it’s actually stranger for me to see Kang-woo and Myung-wol looking lovey-dovey because I can’t watch the show without the knowledge of real-world events coloring it. Then again, maybe it’s because Kang-woo’s been such a nobly misguided pissypants lately that I’ve just gotten used to the angst.

With the big confession of the last episode changing the game, one wonders what’ll crop up to be the next big obstacle, since we’ve got three weeks left. It’s not too late for them to turn Kang-woo into a spy and bring on the bromance with Ryu! Just sayin’.
