The Spies Who Loved Me Episode 2 Key Moments
Sophie’s disappearance
The magical moment of meeting again in fireworks and her ex-husband’s “sexy sheriff” attire vanished when a mobile phone rang. Ah-reum (Yoo In Na) discovers Sophie’s phone and proceeds to the security team’s office with Ji-hoon (Eric Mun) tagging along. She was told that her friend’s stalker was being held captive there. However, the highly-skilled Peter (Jeon Seung Bin) easily escaped the security officers.
Making an excuse that he needs payment for his pole dance gig, Ji-hoon coaxes Ah-reum to lead the way to where Sophie is staying. Instinctively worried about her ex-husband’s wound, Ah-reum takes a portion of cloth from her dress for a temporary bandage. While taking care of the bloody cut, Ji-hoon gives a meaningful stare.
Ji-hoon gets information from Ah-reum that his source, who turned out to be Sophie, is a lead scientist of EcoSun project, which develops fusion energy to create artificial sun. Meanwhile, Sophie runs aimlessly in a forest while the mysterious man chases after her.
They arrive at Sophie’s place and while rummaging on her things which hint on her leaving the country, they reminisce adorable memories of when they were married.
Ah-reum’s First Failed Marriage
While trying to look for Sophie (Yoon So Hee), Ji-hoon asked his team to help in searching. Ah-reum helps Ji-hoon apply medicine on his wound and change the bandage as well. Ji-hoon’s teammate Seo-ra arrives and is definitely not a good sight for Ah-reum.
Flashbacks of Ah-reum and Ji-hoon’s sweet couple life turned nightmare reveals implied picture of Ji-hoon’s infidelity witnessed by Ah-reum. The third party is the same woman with whom Ah-reum did not have a pleasant encounter the last time they met.

EcoSun Project
A six-country collaboration, EcoSun project is a fusion energy research project. With its no-radiation pitch, the project secured an immeasurable value. Initially proposed as technology to be shared, the plan did not push through, with its lead scientist, Sophie, striking a deal with Helmes.
When Sophie wakes up in the forest after a fall and losing consciousness, she sought help from her friend Ah-reum. Seeing his ex-wife in a rush, Ji-hoon follows her to a theme park. Spotting Sophie, he heads to where she is, just as Ah-reum also looks for her friend.
Unfortunately, Ji-hoon got sidetracked and Sophie bumps to the man who has been chasing her. Escaping to a merry-go-round, Sophie is cornered by the man chasing her. A painful scream erupts calling the attention of Ji-hoon, Ah-reum and all the people in the park. Seated in one of the cars of the theme park ride is Sophie’s lifeless body.
The Spies Who Loved Me Episode 2 Musings
It seems The Spies Who Loved Me will incorporate a few themes in the story. For its opening week, it was draped with nostalgia, mystery and romance.
While we get the overview of the series in the opening chapters, the decline of the energy from first episode is noticeable. There’s a lot of characters moving in the story, a situation common for its announced genre.
Sophie has impliedly warned her friend to be wary of her former and present husbands. Although Ah-reum has not processed it yet, we know that she will come in between the case involving the two spies. Ultimately, that’s also the time we can confirm whether whose love between the two is a sham.
The series has a long way to go, and it’s hard to predict the narrative’s direction yet. Hopefully, the story gets back to a livelier vibe even if it will pick up the projected enthralling plot bends and conflicts ahead.
Next week’s preview looks going to heat up with Ah-reum’s husbands meeting. Save your mid-week K-Drama watch slot for The Spies Who Loved Me!
