The Spy Who Loved Me

If this series is distinguished by anything, it's the character of the main heroine. In-na Yoo was great and appealing in her role. And more intelligent than the whole team combined. Eric is stylized this time – except for the work he does – into an ordinary and pretty laid-back guy. It's not that I don't like him that way, I just prefer him more passionate, quietly angry and, most importantly, in love. And it's the lack of romance – and the fact that I expected it based on the title – that I consider the biggest drawback of the series. The tug-of-war between the two rivals, which I enjoyed in the first episodes, gradually fades away and the spy plots, which I thought weren't that interesting, take over. That's what other, more elaborate TV series are for. In this case, the spy action was more of a joke, which probably won't go over well with fans of the genre. I have no doubt that in real life a small child could have caught them. Plus, I feel like the series gradually declined in quality and dragged pretty badly by the end. And if I had imagined an ending, it wouldn't have been like this one. 3.5 stars. (03/07/2021)
