Time Between Dog and Wolf (Hangul: 개와 늑대의 시간; RR: Gae-wa Neukdae-ui Sigan) is a 2007 South Korean action-romance drama, starring Lee Joon-gi, Nam Sang-mi and Jung Kyung-ho. It aired on MBC from July 18 to September 6, 2007 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.
The unique title is taken from a French saying "L'heure entre chien et loup" and refers to the moments after sunset when the sky darkens and vision becomes unclear, making it difficult to distinguish between dogs and wolves, friends and foe.
After his mother was brutally murdered in front of him by the Thai Qing Faction's gangster Mao, Lee Soo-hyun (Lee Joon-gi) was adopted into NIS agent Kang Jung-ho’s family. Together with Min-ki (Jung Kyung-ho), Jung-ho’s son, Soo-hyun becomes an NIS agent. Soo-hyun met Ji-woo (Nam Sang-mi) when they were about twelve years old and has another fateful encounter with her 10 years later. Together they have promises for the future.
One day, Soo-hyun leaves for an operation dealing with the Cheongbang, only to return in failure because of the resurfacing terrible childhood memories of when he was in Thailand. Due to his thirst for personal revenge, and ignoring orders Soo-hyun was fired and stripped of his title as an NIS agent. The head of NIS, Jung, proposes to the distraught Soo-hyun to infiltrate the Cheongbang. Through Chief Jung’s proposition, Soo-hyun becomes an undercover NIS agent after staging his own death (car accident). Hiding his past, Soo-hyun infiltrates the Cheongbang with revenge in mind, leaving Ji-woo behind. Under the pseudonym Kay, he passes through the backstreets of Bangkok. He plans on becoming one of Mao’s underlings to uncover Mao’s illegal business. What Soo-hyun didn't know was Ji-woo is the daughter of the same villain, who killed his mother and father.
Meanwhile, Min-ki has fallen in love with Ji-woo and she begins to consider his proposal to officially court and forget Soo-hyun. Soo-hyun, now known as Kay, heard that Mao likes Muay Thai (Thailand Kickboxing), so Kay becomes a Muay Thai athlete, hoping Mao would see him. Mao came to one Muay Thai game in which Kay deliberately loses the match. At the fighter's resting room, he overheard conversation between a Cheongbang's Mini Boss and his subordinate planning to kill Mao. When Mao went up to the stage to honour the champion, the assassin aims at him but Kay saves Mao. Mao then took Kay as his right-hand man. Mao and his gang go to Korea to expand their drug business. They started a company called BS Enterprise. Kay's mission was to protect Ji-woo from the Korean gang, Spider.
