Plot

Lee Soon-ae is a recently widowed traffic cop who finds herself in over her head after she stops a man for committing a routine traffic violation. Han Yoo-il, the mysterious and charming stranger who was stopped by the ever-diligent Soon-ae, is in fact an international spy, who has come to Korea on a top-secret mission. When Soon-ae accidentally forgets to return Yoo-il's super high-tech spy pen to him, she sets in motion a chain of events that pulls her into the shady world of international espionage. Soon, the Special Operations Unit also becomes involved, including its new chief Kang Joon, who happens to be an old friend of Soon-ae's late husband. Kang Joon, who secretly harbors feelings for Soon-ae, opens an old case surrounding the death of her husband. They uncover secrets involving powerful political and economic figures, which leads to Han Yoo-il.[2]

Accidental nudity

In the bathhouse scene in episode 3, three male actors -- Choi Bool-am, Lee Ki-yeol and Kim Joon-ho—are seen rubbing each other's backs, their private parts decently out of frame. But the genitals of an extra was fully, if dimly, exposed in the background. Viewers protested on the drama's online message board, and the producers immediately posted an apology. MBC re-edited the scene for re-runs.[3][4]
