Spy (Hangul: 스파이; RR: Seupai, stylized as SPY) is a 2015 South Korean television series based on the Israeli drama The Gordin Cell but modified to depict North/South Korean relations. A family drama with spy thriller elements, it starred Kim Jae-joong as a genius analyst working for the National Intelligence Service (NIS), while Bae Jong-ok played his mother, an ex-spy from North Korea.
SPY aired two episodes a week back to back on Fridays on KBS2 from January 9 to March 6, 2015 for a total of 16 episodes.
The fictional story begins after the execution of real-life North Korean general Jang Sung-taek. One day an order comes down from North Korea, reactivating erstwhile spy Park Hye-rim who has spent decades in South Korea as an ordinary housewife. She is given the mission to turn and bring in her own son, Kim Sun-woo. Cool-headed, quick-witted genius Sun-woo is an information analyst on North Korea working for the NIS. His girlfriend Yoon-jin is a tour guide for Chinese tourists who cannot speak Chinese, and they fell in love when Sun-woo helped her translate. Hye-rim is suddenly forced to choose between her son and country, and risks her life to see the choice through.
Sun-woo wants to bring his girlfriend, Lee Yoon-jin, home to introduce to his family. However, Sun-woo is late because of traffic, Yoon-jin has to face a challenge by meeting Sun-woo's anxious, over-protective mother. Her attempts to endear herself to Sun-woo's mother by revealing that they are from the same hometown in China are met with suspicion.
Sun-woo and Agent Hyun-tae are appointed to meet a North Korean female secret agent. Hyun-tae is displeased that Sun-woo has not brought a gun with him so he intends to pull out and arrange another rendezvous location, but Sun-woo decides to head in himself because they may not have another opportunity like this. They eventually bring the girl to their headquarters. The girl, Soo-yeon, is interviewed by Sun-woo's female co-worker Noh Eun-ah to put Soo-yeon at ease. Eun-ah's aggressive interrogation style, however, upsets Soo-yeon and she refuses to say anything else until Sun-woo volunteers to speak with her. Sun-woo eventually finds the location where she was held after asking Soo-yeon a few questions. Soo-yeon begs Sun-woo to rescue her family from North Korea.
