A real spy drama with clever humor, sincere drama, and action full of tension!!
In September 2012, the movie <Spy> announced the birth of a full-fledged life-type spy, heralding infiltration into the Republic of Korea. Living-type spies are people who escape from the dark and miserable image of spies we know and live as ordinary neighbors, colleagues, and families around us. The spies we know so far are blind and coherent beings who have been hard trained to carry out orders and live in hiding by exchanging operations in secret. However, the life-style spies in the movie give a fresh shock with a lifestyle that is hard to believe that they are spies. In addition, the setting that he had a job that made use of his own abilities and strengths to make a living in the face of rising prices, rather than reporting a spy, gives a sly smile.
As a leader of spies, Manager Kim, who is quick to turn his head and has excellent speech skills, disguises himself as an illegal Viagra dealer to support his family, and Dae-ri Kang, who is responsible for the location and has excellent map knowledge, lives a busy life as a real estate broker and working mom. Go-moon Yoon, who is good at laundering identity and forging documents, started as a civil servant at the lower end of the district office, and after retirement, she spends time living alone as an elderly person living alone. have.
Director Woo Min-ho revealed that he conceived the film out of the question, "How do spies, who are only perceived as fearful by the public, live now that inter-Korean relations are smoother?" It is not simply an action drama about espionage, but an ordinary story of people in a special situation called a spy, showing the ironic situation and realistic anxieties they face, and trying to melt the humanism. Like the director's intention, "Spies are people, fathers, mothers, old people, young people, and humans who live with the same worries and concerns as we do," <Spy> overturns common sense about spies. It will disarm the Republic of Korea, transcending men and women of all ages. In addition to this, the chase and gunfights in downtown Seoul, including Gwanghwamun, Myeong-dong, and Hongdae, and large-scale shootings in Busan and Changwon are added. .

At the same time, he is a person who takes on the leadership of the Ri Yong-seong assassination operation under the direction of Chief Choi, the best assassin in North Korea. In the process, they boast of the spies' brain-down driving force and operational design ability, but behind the scenes, they plan a double operation to intercept the 10 billion won in compensation given to Ri Yong-seong, and they plan to show hidden wit, naughtiness, and humor.
From the genius doctor in the drama <The White Tower>, which clearly imprinted Kim Myung-min's presence, to the maestro in <Beethoven Virus> that caused a craze in Korea, to the incurable disease in <My Love By My Side>, which gained attention by losing more than 20kg A patient, Kim Myung-Min Pyo, a detective in <Detective Chosun: The Secret of a Helmet Flower>, who showed the essence of comic acting, and a marathoner in <Pacemaker>, who changed dramatically with braces and no make-up, etc. Kim Myung-min, who took the main title.

One of the biggest reasons why the real espionage drama <Spy> is the most anticipated work of 2012 is the gorgeous casting that makes people believe and watch just the actor's name. From Kim Myung-min, who is famous for acting in Korea, to Hae-jin Ha, a stormy presence, actress Yeom Jeong-ah, and 10 million actors, Byeon Hee-bong. Those who have transformed into life-style spies whose operations have become a part of their lives are already gathering hot expectations as they plan to show off the charm of a reversal that has not been shown in their works before.
First of all, from dramas such as <White Tower> and <Beethoven Virus> to films such as <Detective of Joseon: The Secret of the Helmet Flower> and <Love Story>, Kim Myung-min, who is a box office guarantee just by the name alone, is the head of the household who is excited by the frequent rent increase for the role of the code name Manager Kim.

On the other hand, Yoo Hae-jin, who has shown a strong personality in films of various genres such as <The King's Man> <Jeon Woo-chi> <Moss> and <Illegal Transaction>, appeared as North Korea's best assassin who came down to deliver orders to those who are busy with eating, showing a sophisticated yet strong charisma. It will heighten the tension of the drama.
Kim Myung-min, Yoo Hae-jin, Yeom Jeong-ah, Byun Hee-bong, and Jeong Gyu-woon, who are armed with such different personalities, charms, and presence, will confirm the synergy with the acting ensemble that shines the more they work together, and will bring about the espionage syndrome in theaters.

After 10 years of espionage, operation becomes life?! The movie <Spy>, announcing the birth of a full-fledged life-style spy, also goes beyond the common sense and expectations of the audience in the area of spies' activities. From Gwanghwamun to Myeong-dong to Hongdae, the scenes filmed in the best downtown areas of downtown Seoul most clearly show the setting that spies live right around us, and while providing wit in itself, it is added with several episodes to complete an exciting drama. . First of all, the place where Director Kim, who received the North's command to say, 'The tree is open' after 10 years, receives the order of Director Choi, an assassination spy, is in front of the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin in Gwanghwamun. In order to capture the spies they encountered in the center of Gwanghwamun Square, where large numbers of people come and go, and at the Gwanghwamun intersection where major media outlets are concentrated, the production team started recruiting assistant actors of various age groups to create a lifestyle in Gwanghwamun, the most commonplace. We filmed the start of the operation of the spies. The operation office for the assassination of Ri Yong-seong was set up in Myeong-dong. With the setting that the operation office is located in Seoul's largest downtown area, the selection of the production team was narrowed down to Jongno and Myeong-dong, and it was finally decided to Myeong-dong, which is crowded with tourists day and night, with numerous shopping malls. In order to capture the scene where the spies, led by Director Choi, come out of the operation office in the basement of Myeong-dong Street and mix with the crowds of Myeong-dong, the production team unusually introduced about 200 auxiliary actors. In addition, in order to minimize the inconvenience of numerous shopping malls, they gathered from dawn to prepare and move busier than usual to capture the OK cut before the start of business. The breathtaking street chase between Chief Kim, the leader of the Ri Yong-seong assassination operation, and NIS agents was also filmed in Myeong-dong. The crew, who filmed on the weekend when the street turned into a car-free street for the scene going back and forth in every corner of the alley, had difficulties due to the street stalls filling up the street. carried out In Hongdae, life-style spies, Choi's subordinates, and NIS agents were filmed meeting and chasing vehicles. Although it was the first episode, the filming that started from Hongik University Station with a lot of floating population also continued to fight against the crowds of spectators, the real-time changing alley situations, and the sweltering heat. Gwanghwamun, Myeong-dong, and Hongdae, which took place in a tense state as if walking on thin ice during midsummer, will bring joy to the audience with scenes that are as realistic as the efforts of the production team and actors.

No.2 Operation STYLE

From Seoul to the provinces, I found a double operation after searching everywhere!
The production crew's Pyeongchang-dong recruitment operation was as difficult as the spies' double operation!
The most difficult place in the process of selecting a location for <Spy> was the filming location of the house where the spies' double operation took place. After searching all over Seoul and the provinces, Seongbuk-dong and Pyeongchang-dong of Seoul were finalists, and after much deliberation, it was agreed to film in Pyeongchang-dong. Pyeongchang-dong is often filmed for dramas and movies, but complaints from residents are frequent and it is difficult to get permission to shoot in advance. First of all, on the first day of filming, the important parts of the outside of the house in Lyon-seong were filmed first, on the second day, the inner yard, and on the third day, a big plan was made and detailed strategies were made. In case of any complaints, department store gift sets were also mobilized, and the staff had to visit house to house to explain the purpose of filming in Pyeongchang-dong. With minimal noise and road control, the staff safely filmed the scene where they broke into the house and the spies who completed the double operation. Because the amount of filming was large and the time allowed was short, filming in Pyeongchang-dong continued all night for three days. In a situation where both the staff and actors were very exhausted, on the last day of filming, a large-scale filming with cranes was waiting for them. Kim Myung-min, who appears as the leader of the spies in the movie, took care of each staff member and led the atmosphere of the filming site to the end, and was able to finish filming without any problems despite the tense atmosphere.
