gatalito

It had a very good story because it wasn't just about the good guys and the bad guys but about people who each and every one of them had its own motives, aims and morality. And that is what makes it completely different from other dramas of this particular genre.
Anyway.. if it didn't work for you it just didn't.

I've just replied to your comment because a lot of people asked again on the comments of who was the traitor and culprit something that indicates that they probably didn't watch carefully this drama. The answers were all there, with the condition that the viewer is not skipping scenes. :)

I told you. None and all of them. It wasn't about a single traitor but a malfunctioning organization where no one could trust anyone. There was no cooperation and each and everyone served its own agenda. The nobody trust anyone else e dogma was promoted mostly by Do Jin Suk, - who at the end manage to get out of this mess unharmed and unpunished- ending up making each and everyone who worked in there ready to betray everyone else. The dirty war was taking place inside the secret intelligence organization and that is the reason why it was also so ineffective to deal with outsiders, whatever those were. Mobsters of other spies etc. The biggest victims of this policy were the black agents themselves who ended up either dead, even from their own colleagues, or insane as they had no way to know who was the actual enemy.

Then don't watch Romance dramas.

Then don't watch action/spy thrillers.

I have the notion that you didn't understand what was this drama all about. The majority of the viewers got destructed by the the details and missed the main point . Whichwas that the dirty war started from the inside. They were not the mobs and the Chinese and the N. Koreans the enemy of the NIS. It was its own personnel that each and every one of them worked for his or her own agenda.
A constant struggle for power with pawns the black agents who were consumable with most of them ending up dead with reward some pretentious patriotic anonymous stars at the bs memorial . And those who did survive ended up insane or half insane.
If you rewatch this drama from this point of view you are going to see that everything makes a lot more sense. The plot is not so complicated. The so called villain is not a villain at all, and the true villain gets out of the whole mess unharmed.

Ji Hyuk's informant guy who went to warn him at their hide. The guy that it was killed afterwards at the drug dealer's hotel penthouse.
Ji Hyuk was manipulated actually to kill them because the policy of the NIS was to make them not to trust even their partners. The person that was most responsible for this was Do Jin Suk. We should not forget that she had Baek Mo Sa in her car when Yoo Je Yi was waiting for her outside her house to kill her that rainy night. So the information that someone was a mole in Ji Hyuk team went probably from Do Jin Suk, to Baek Mo Sa, to the informant guy and finally to Ji Hyuk.
It is interesting btw that she was the only one who didn't go to jail for her actions though she was the biggest piece of s#it as she was the one who manipulated them all the most, by spreading misinformation. And in the final episode was the only one who supported the option to sacrifice the hostages in order to save the bank's data system.
Ji Hyuk killed his partners for no particular reason, as none of these two was actually a mole.
That is also the reason why the other agent, the one that was found hanged from the building was trying to get out of the agency because he had realized that the black agents were considered consumable by their own agency.

Baek Mo Sa actions were quite justified at the very end. They were actually the reason why Ji Hyuk plot all this thing to erase his memory in order to get back and find who manipulated them and forced them to kill each other, or made them trying to get out of the agency. And their last dialogue shows that, when Baek Mo Sa told to Ji Hyuk that normally he should have been the one who had to bring down the whole organization and the sub group Samboeng ( or whatever was the name that they gave to their operation of manipulation of the public opinion and the elections) .
Baek Mo Sa wasn't actually a monster. He was the guy who got all the s#it and ended up to look like he was the villain. If he wasn't able to escape from that hellish N. Korean Chinese or whatever jail , with the gore way he did it, he would have been another anonymous star on their pretentious memorial of the dead black agents.
He was the only one who had a somewhat normal behavior. He lost it completely and went back to prove that the heads of the organization served only their own agendas. That was the same Ji Hyuk was supposed to do , but he didn't.

All of them for different reasons. From the heads of the organization that considered the black agents consumable for their own political or power reasons to some of the black agents who wanted to bring down the heads of the organization for the above reasons.
Each and everyone in this damn organization served his or her own agenda so I assume that that is the reason why S, Koreans can't resolve their issues with North Koreans... lol If they have such a NIS .... that's it... they are done! lol

Here is the girlfriend.

Read the comments on the video for more information.

He didn't dump her after the abortion. They split a year after the supposed "forced" abortion.
In other words he dumped her and she made the anonymous allegations in public in order to destroy his reputation and revenge him.

Well I'm not impressed that she was twice divorced with the attitude that she has. The victim... lol

Because this is their personal affair and whatever problems they had in their affair should have been resolved in private and not in public.
But they became public obviously because he is a celebrity. If he was the average Joe Doe, the next door guy she wouldn't have a chance to be backed up by the public for doing all that she did. From making anonymously public their personal affair up to claiming that he manipulated her to have an abortion. All that from a woman that lives in a first world country where abortions are legal and contraception is legal, and premarital affairs and sex are legal etc etc etc. and women have every right written in law books to make their own decisions for themselves and their unborn children.
The only thing that she managed to prove with her accusations is that she has a third world mentality and attitude. Or to say it better, that she used this kind of mentality, the suppressive male's victim, because things didn't go her way. She didn't manage to persuade him to marry her with or without this pregnancy.
I'm living for the day that the so called emancipated women will stop use their ability to produce children as a tool to trap men into forced marriages. If the guy doesn't want you and your children move on. Find someone else that he would like you and your children in order to be a better husband for you and a better father for these children.
Edit to add: Here is the notorious ex girlfriend.

According to what is mentioned on the comments they split a year after the "forced" abortion.
That much about her victimhood claims.

How can an emancipated by all means woman from a first world country claim that she is a victim of a forced abortion or manipulated to have one? She did sign to get to the clinic and on top of that passed to him the medical expenses bill.
They had to agree both you know for this to happen.
Nobody can force you to have a legal abortion if you don't want to.
I would have bashed him if he left her pregnant and then disappeared.
But this is not the case. The discussed, they agreed to abort the child, he paid the bill and she signed to get to the clinic.
The rest is their private affair and matter.
And a reminder: Personal love affairs are not a subject of contracts or favors. If you don't like someone and you are not married with this person, you have every right to split with him or her at any given time.
But you have no right to accuse that other person anonymously and with insinuations in public particularly if this person relies on its public image for his income. This is sneaky, inappropriate and illegal too. It is a libelous accusation and that is the reason why MDL removed the article about this case from its first page.
Because he can sue anyone that he is accusing him directly or indirectly for anything anonymously and with insinuations.
He is not even mentioned by name on the accusations of this anonymous "A" ( whatever is the name) woman. He can sue her too and in this case she will have to prove that she was talking about him, that she was indeed pregnant by him, that she aborted his child , that he paid for the bill and whatever else she claimed anonymously in public. Failing to do so would have severe consequences because she has already damaged his reputation and as such his ability to have an income by his job.

I agree that it takes two people to have a baby. But it is her morality the trouble in this case and not his.
Her moral compass was completely off when she decided to abort the unborn child in order to marry the celebrity bf.
And now she is saying in public what they discuss in their bedroom???? !!! lol Tragicomic at least.... lol

Kim Seon Ho ought to sue the hell out of her! And publish her name. He should do that because it is obvious that her actions are all about revenge and cancelling.

No.. by the time that the allegations are anonymous there is no way to check if they are true or fake.
He apologized to the unknown "A" for hurting her, not for the things she is accusing him, that are not after all criminal. Abortions are legal in S. Korea and if he paid her the medical costs of the abortion then it becomes more than obvious that they both had agreed to have it.
From this point of view he hasn't done something wrong. On the contrary ....he even support her. They agreed to abort the baby and he paid the medical costs. Why is this HIS own moral misstep... unless someone is against abortions either way.
He didn't force her to have the abortion. She agreed to have it, because the woman that wants to be admitted in a clinic for abortion has sign for this....So I don't understand for what she is accusing him now . For her own decision?
He didn't grubbed by the hair and drugged her and dragged her to a clinic FGS!! Give me a break.

You can check the lists in my profile to see if I am supporter or fan or anything else. I haven't watched a single one of his films or dramas.
But on the other hand I consider absurd that his ex girlfriend accused him anonymously for actions that are private and by no means criminal, because abortions are legal in S. Korea, with the obvious intention to destroy his acting career.

What makes it even worst is that she was responsible too. because if she didn't want to get pregnant she would have found a way to avoid it.
If she didn't want to have an abortion she wouldn't have accepted in the first place to get his money and have. But she accepted the option to abort the child because he promised her .... marriage?? That is laughable.

And finally if she really loved him , as she claims, she wouldn't attempt to resolve a private matter in public. And I personally bet that if he wasn't someone already famous she wouldn't bother to mention this on social media.
Her behavior is the classic revenge cancel in public behavior.

Cancel the cancel culture now.

Because he can sue the hell out of MDL as a libel if he wants as the allegations are anonymous.

Yeah sure... her moral dilemma was unborn child vs celebrity husband.

I haven't watched a single one of his films and dramas and he is not my type and I"m not a fan but I came for support!!
Cancel the cancel culture now...

Why do you call them poor guys. He is not a 20 year old guy to start with and middle aged women have the maturity not to try to push guys into forced marriages or attempt to destroy their careers.
What I predict for him is already a trend in non married couples for this exact reason. Because younger men ( younger that 40 years old) have become sick and tired by such behaviors by women of their age that they misuse their rights on social media.
The revenge cancel culture turns against those who use them.
If the name of this woman ever comes out who sane man is going to have an affair with her? She has already shown that she is revengeful, petty, sneaky, coward ( because she didn't have the guts to come forward with her name and accuse him with his name and not with insinuations) and finally a person that is ready to sacrifice everything in order to achieve her aim. Kill in other words her unborn child in order to marry the guy because he is a celebrity and not because she loved him. Because if she loved him she wouldn't try to do such damage to him.

Whatever she is, her behavior is an insult for all the women who are trying hard to achieve equality with men. You don't get equality when you hide behind your sex whenever this is more convenient.
Not to mention that such behaviors from young women, push young guys to the beds of older women....lol
Because I doubt if this particular guy is going to have again an affair with any woman in reproductive age. I doubt if he is going to get married! I foresee that his next affair will be with a woman 20 years older than him, already married or divorced and with three children in order to exclude any possibility to get involved again in a similar situation. lol
