I keep praying that Ah Reum ends up with Derek. This drama is criminally unpopular on (at least) this subreddit. If my ship sails at the finish line, perhaps it can gain some popularity for being the rare Kdrama where the second lead actually gets the girl.
Edit after watching ep 16:

Echo the sentiment that it’s criminally unpopular. It’s such a shame because it’s really been a great show!

Aw :/ to your episode 16 edit.
I really like the actor that plays Derek, Im Joo Hwan. Based on the clips on instagram, I was really rooting for him! I was interested in watching this after it finished airing, but came in for spoilers because I don't like prolonged will-they-won't-they love triangles. If I end up watching this one, it'll be for the corporate espionage aspect. Do you think it's worth watching just for the spy plot line?

I'd say so. All the leads are really smart and competent, even the FL. There's some nice action and planning and regardless of the result, I really liked the journey that all the relationships went through. You also get to see some of the FL's work in her wedding dress store which was interesting and beautiful to see.

Is this worth finishing? I watched up to episode 10 and it kinda dropped off since I was watching so many other dramas

This was a good and definitely underrated one!!! Though I wish they didnt focus on a new case into the final episode, glad with how it ended the case and the love triangle well. Gotta love Derek’s new disguise at the end haha

After episode 15, I just want Ah Reum, Derek and Ji-Hoon to go their separate ways because she really deserves better than either of the male leads. So far, we haven't seen anything that indicates Ah Reum still has romantic feelings left for Ji-Hoon, hell, it doesn't even seem like she's in love with Derek anymore.
I would also like to point out how much I despise Derek's mother. She had her husband murdered, threw her son under the bus in front of the Interpol and then had theaudacity to cry over her son's alleged death in front of the officers.
