Spies of Life and Death

Kim Myung-hui is an agent of North Korea's Eighth Special Forces. Since sneaking into South Korea in 1993, she has assassinated many political figures. Her actions attracted the attention of the South Korean secret service, and agents Choi Sang-hwan (played by Han Seok-kyu) and Lee Jung-hee (played by Song Kang-ho) were sent to investigate her whereabouts, but she disappeared. In 1998, Kim Myung-hee appeared again. She asked black-market arms dealer Lin Guangchao to help find a new weapon, the liquid bomb CTX. Lin bribed Jin Zongshu, a researcher at the Ministry of National Defense Research Institute, to help him steal it, but he failed. After the incident was exposed, the two were killed by Kim Myung-hee one after another. Because of Kim Myung-hee's failure, North Korea sent a special agent team headed by Bu Wankun (played by Choi Min-sik) to steal the bomb when the South Korean army was transporting CTX to participate in the arms exhibition, preparing to sabotage the upcoming friendly football match between the two countries. All this made Cui Sanghuan, Li Zhengxi and their boss Minister Gao very distressed. They found that Kim Myung-hee could always find the target one step ahead of them and sabotage their actions. Kim Myung-hee was by their side, perhaps the closest and least defensive person.
