Drama Casting & News
Joo-won offered Level 7 Civil Servant remake
by | July 25, 2012 | 215 Comments

Well, when you’re on fire you’re on fire. Being knee-deep in one drama apparently doesn’t preclude you from getting cast in your next one, because Joo-won is reportedly up for the lead in the upcoming drama adaptation of Level 7 Civil Servant, the hit 2009 film starring Kim Haneul and Kang Ji-hwan (also called My Girlfriend Is an Agent). The drama version will be called Secret Man and Woman, which I suppose is less of a tongue-twister than the original film’s title, but still lacks a punch. Hopefully the production company will come up with an English title I like. But so far, the casting’s going in a direction I very much like.

It’s a romantic comedy about a regular guy who dates a woman not knowing that she’s actually a super-secret agent. She eventually ends things to keep her cover, and then returns years later… only by then HE’s been recruited to be a super-secret spy too, and their jobs start to complicate things. The movie’s awesome, the premise is rife with action and comedy, and when cast right, it should be crackling with chemistry.

The drama is being written by the original film’s writer, Chun Sung-il, of Chuno and Runaway. So we can expect slick, glossy action. All this has to be taken with a grain of salt though, as this drama has been in development for years, and has had many a casting rumor come and go. It’s reportedly got a slot on the MBC lineup, as a 24-episode Wednesday-Thursday drama, set to follow Arang and the Magistrate.

But that’s IF it can be cast in time, and already the production is in danger of not making that timeslot. The offer has been made to Joo-won, who’s considering the role, but that basically means zero time between Gaksital and this new drama, if he takes it. Will he never rest? I guess he wasn’t kidding about his Tae-woong hyung adoration and wanting to be just like him, because these guys don’t know the meaning of vacation.

I suppose when you’re young and hungry and you’re the hot new commodity around town, you sacrifice some zzzz’s to go from masked crusader of Joseon to secret agent man, all with a swagger and dimpled smile. We’ll see if this is the leading man to get this drama out of development hell and onto the roster for good. And I warn you now Show, if you can’t cast someone badass as the heroine, we will have WORDS.

    Sohn Ye Jin will be perfect for the role…she can be badass when she wants to be!!

    • 1.1 Stardust

      I love Son Ye Jin, but she may look too womanly beside our baby faced Joo Won…?

      I liked the movie, and felt the missions was too fast for plot development… perhaps a drama will actually catch a better sense of time hehehe and after not being caught as a Joseon hero, now he will have to cover all he does too kekeke

    • 1.2 pampitsa

      i second you. i absolutely love her. she is a great actress :)

    • 1.3 Penny

      I think it’d be GREAT if Jang Na Ra, Ha Ji Won, or Park Shin Hye would be in this drama with Joo Won. :)

      • 1.3.1 eli

        park shin hey ? you kidding ?
        I cant imagine her beside my beloved Joo won !!
        She is sort of Awkward …clumsy. NO please no her …

      • 1.3.2 am

        never thought about PSH but then I remembered her on Cyrano. Man, I’d dig it.

    • 1.4 Maya

      I don’t know why, but Ha Ji Won always comes to my mind now when someone said badass heroine, in terms that she can seriously kick ass and I believe it.

      • 1.4.1 alua

        So true!

      • 1.4.2 Jo

        Same! Ha Ji Won’s just so badass that I always associate action roles with her. :) )

      • 1.4.3 Joy

        So totally agree! She can do action like a BOSS! She can kick ass, fantastic actress, lots of charisma and a sex appeal to boot! Isn’t obvious that I love her! ;) Oh yeah, naturally gorgeous. he he he he

      • 1.4.4 minazuki

        Totally agree…

        I’m sure Ha Ji Won will be great for this role, and I love how she pull out the chemistry with her co-stars :D

    • 1.5 reeen

      Lee Yoonji, please! I’d love to see her in a lead role and I think she could pull it off.

      • 1.5.1 jelly-jamboree

        you know what…. I can see it :O

        Lee Yoonji isn’t the first person I thought of, but as soon as you mentioned her I could imagine her dominating this role!

        Hi Ji Won would obviously be amazing as a spy, but everything I’ve seen her in has her doing similar roles. Not that there’s anything wrong with that (in fact, I’ve loved her even when some of her character’s have been frustrating), I’m just afraid that she’s being type-cast into roles as the tough warrior-woman. So I hope she’s NOT cast here, just because I want to see her doing something else and stretching her acting legs a bit more.

      • 1.5.2 skinnymocha

        Oh, yes please!

        I like Ha Ji Won, but I don’t seem to be as hyped up about her as everyone else is. SG, in particular, wasn’t badass; it was simply bad. I think (mainstream) Korean TV has a gaping hole for kickass heroines and HJW just happens to one of the very few actresses to fill that quota.

      • 1.5.3 pigtookie

        yes please!
        girl is fierce and commanding. (or bring jo jung seok over in case joo won decides to take a break, for laughs)

      • 1.5.4 am

        good choice! Ha Ji Won has already played so many bad ass roles…I’d love to see her in something else already.

    • 1.6 Ace

      Agree about Sohn Ye-jin and Ha Ji-won. Would like to throw out Kim So-yeon’s name out there too. She’s sexy-badass and could outdo everyone of them even my favorite k-actresses!

  2. misch

    Oh yay!! Joo Won is indeed a great choice!
    Currently enjoying Gaksital because of him!

  3. oramylove

    I’m in! love joo-won!!!

  4. aiya_rani

    Joo Won Pleaseeee….:D

  5. YO SOY BETTY

    OH MY! LOVE THAT MOVIE! PLUS I LOVE MAJOON TOO! Hahaha!

  6. amymoon

    can we have lee chung ah please? but i am afraid she’s too thin…the only actress that fit to be badass that i can think of is ha ji won. if she’s available why not eh ;)

    • 6.1 MsB

      She would be my second choice (HJW)!

    • 6.2 CM

      Hmmm… Ha Ji Won is kinda overused in these kind of roles…it gets boring…

      • 6.2.1 Awe

        agreed.

        HJW would be just toooooo predictable, pls drama, switch it up a bit.

        also, i suggest

        SECRET AGENTS with male and female signs as the title.

      • 6.2.2 Awe

        agreed.

        HJW would be just toooooo predictable, pls drama, switch it up a bit.

        also, i suggest

        SECRET AGENTS with male and female signs as the title.

      • 6.2.3 lordj

        How about Han Groo? She is Bad Ass in Killer K.
        But she might be too young for the role…

        • 6.2.3.1 MsGB

          OOOOOOOO……that might be a great idea. I freakin loved Killer K.

          What about Kim Sun Ah? We know she can pull off action (She’s on duty), comedy (everything else), and has great chemistry w/ everyone of her male leads…..

          Ahhh but darn Joo Won’s baby face…..whatever just as long as it’s anybody but Han Ji Won. People let’s savor her Boss-ness. I mean, spread it out alittle bit. You know you want too.

    • 6.3 Cam

      YEAH!! Me 2 too ~ I think it’d be awesome if Ha Ji Won and Joo Won would work together in this drama!!! :D :D

      Please CONFIRM THIs, Joo Woooon!!!! \^_^/ Bravoo!!

    • 6.4 Awe

      LEAD FEMALE: Kim Sa Rang

      she was freakin hilarious in Secret Garden and would do a fab job in lead role, imho.

      • 6.4.1 Laica

        I dunno. I loved her in SG, but I feel like she’s too much woman for our Joo Wonnie. I can’t see them together.

    • 6.5 obivia

      I second your Lee Chung Ah pick. She’d be hilaaarious!

      • 6.5.1 Anri

        Omg, yes! Lee JungAh would be perfect with him! They’re both baby-faced too. I just hope it’s not Ha Ji Won again.

    • 6.6 ilikemangos

      ha ji won puhlease. she sparkles with lee seung gi. and if she can with him, she can with anybody.
      bring back that hang ah punch. i miss it.

  7. MsB

    Han Chae-Ah would be perfect! It could be a reunion of sorts! After watching Hero and her role as Ra Ra, I’m convinced she would have made a more interesting MokDan!

    • 7.1 Catabot

      I definitely agree.

      I’m still waiting for her character to defect to the Korean resistance side!!^^

    • 7.2 Magnetic70

      Come to think of it, yes! Writers please. That would make a nice pair. I think Gaksital and RaRa as a team could work :) I mean Joo Won and Han Chae Ah.

  8. red

    I watched the movie version on the plane and laughed out loud so many times my sister sitting next to me was cringing. This movie was awesome and was so hyped about a drama version but now with Joo Won up for lead OMG am I pumped.

    Joo Won playing a bumbling spy would be such a image reversal after all the badass cops hes been playing … and an image reversal straight after gakistal would be so much win.

    Even though I always want more gakistal like now,and would love more Joo Won on my screen, I feel for all the lack of sleep. But if hes fine with it then I’m not complaining.

  9. Irian

    I don’t know, how he is ever going to sleep, but I would like to forbid him to ever leave 1 night 2 days.

    • 9.1 Maya

      This is totally off-topic, but your name is awesome… :)

    • 9.2 Airyn

      I think he gets more sleep on 1N2D than on the set of Gaksital. LOL

  10. 10 yong in

    oh, joo won! so happy to hear this! hope this pushes through : )

  11. 11 azuwaza163

    Heh… I love 2012. Joo Won’s year! From OJK Bros to 1N2D to Gaksital and now this! Weee!! I know this will be super unlikely to happen, but I always wanted UEE to be his heroine. Heh.

    • 11.1 booboo

      You read my mind azuwaza. Uee would be perfect for him. Just think of their coffee cf together. didn’t that give the vibe of a spy-ish kinda pairing?

      • 11.1.1 DramaticTeacher

        Aww, I also want a Uee and Joowon pairing! I think Uee can also be badass when she wants to.

        • 11.1.1.1 shila

          haha but i think they should use eunjang for woman lead role

    • 11.2 foolmoon

      Yes, I’ll vote for UEE, too! She can look cute and bad ass, and so far her acting is improving. ^-^

    • 11.3 zhill

      I super agree … UEE plus Joowon equals perfect chemistry. love them both in OB … she’s tall and would looks great in those tight fitting black pants/outfit. If not possible, then HJW is my other choice.

  12. 12 mdee

    Hell yeah!

    I really want him in rom-com. His romantic sweet role in Ojakyo Brothers makes my heart beat faster. Hoho.

    But, he will not have enough rest then. Poor cutie.

  13. 13 Cindy

    AND WE GET MORE OF JOO WON!!! CUTIE PIE!!! *waves*

  14. 14 TheJu

    I am not against this, Joo-won in two Dramas -in one year?!?!?! fan-girl squeal/happy dance!

    I just don’t want him to over work himself

  15. 15 The Real CZ

    Weren’t there rumors of Kim Tae Hee being in this drama? I’d watch this for Joo Won and KTH haha.

    • 15.1 ck1Oz

      Are you talking about a really intense young actor and you think she will be kicking ass as the female secret agent????

    • 15.2 Bio

      Err, she failed in being badass miserably in Iris. >__<

    • 15.3 canxi

      LOL Kim Tae He….hahahahahahahahahahahaha

    • 15.4 The Real CZ

      You girls always write “Oh, he’s so hot, if he takes his shirt off I’ll definitely watch the drama omo daebak oppa saranghae” but a guy isn’t allowed to want a hot chick in a drama. Fuck your feminist bullshit.

      • 15.4.1 MeeisLee

        I’m all for a “hot chick” in a drama as long as she can ACT. Sexual objectification towards either gender is wrong.

        I don’t have anything against Kim Tae Hee in particular and I found her mildly OK in IRIS.

        The first actresses that come to mind are Ha Ji Won and I still think Kim So Yeon needs her own spy drama.

      • 15.4.2 Jinjoo

        lol i dont think they had a problem with you wanting to watch for Kim Tae Hee, no problem with that. But its just the fact that she probably wont be very suited to play this kind of role :T sorry dude btu thats just my opinion of her acting ><.

        She is a gorgeous actress though and dont blame guys wanting to watch if she is in it haha. Like you said girls do the exact same with hot guys. and LOLZ to the "omo daebak oppa saranghae”XDD (cause sadly thats so true….)

        Maybe its just me but…even if a guy is hot I stil wouldn't want to watch him if his acting sucked -.-

      • 15.4.3 canxi

        That’s not true at all. Don’t even generalize like that. It’s an assumption and makes everyone look bad. Even if the guy is hot, I won’t sit through something he’s in unless he has the acting talent to go with it.

        The Real CZ, I’d be the first person to admit Kim Tae Hee is beautiful. She is, but I’d be lying if I said I thought her acting talent was up to par at this point. To me her range is flat, she has no real expression, and she approaches every role in the same way. She can get better, of course, I believe she can. But with this role, she’ll definitely need some 3-dimensionality and imagining that right now is laughable. So, I was laughing at Kim Tae Hee, not your comment.

        Also, I would like to point out that I am a feminist and that has nothing to do with who I deem talented or not. It’s TOTALLY fine if you want to watch her because she’s pretty, I’d jump on any train with Kim Soyeon on it…but not just because she’s beautiful, she can ACT too.

      • 15.4.4 ck1Oz

        I am an ahjumma and proud of it.Plus I’ve never said those kind of remarks.Are you confusing this blog with Allkpop?

      • 15.4.5 ladida

        I’m sorry, are there massive amounts of men being trafficked into sexual slavery? Are men the main victims of rape, who are then ridiculed and shamed and silenced? Do men exist in stories primarily through their bodies? Are men systematically robbed of the agency of their bodies and sexualities? How about you sit way the fuck down and stop bothering us with your false equivalency bullshit. If you have a problem with the hypocrisies of fandom, fine, but don’t drag feminism into it. Fuck YOUR belittling, disparaging rhetoric and your equating fandom to centuries of systematic oppression that continues and evolves to this day.

        • 15.4.5.1 javabeans

          Clap. Clap. Clap.

          You win an internets. Use it wisely, my friend.

        • 15.4.5.2 canxi

          Agreeing. Well said ladida.

        • 15.4.5.3 MeeisLee

          I was actually just checking to see if this guy made a senseless reply but this is much much much better.

          *Applause*

        • 15.4.5.4 yellowcake

          Great response.

        • 15.4.5.5 jelly-jamboree

          If I could favorite and save a response, this would be it.

          Wonderful come-back and so true…

  16. 16 ck1Oz

    Sigh, yes, I heard. That will bring it to a start date for Nov. Thank goodness it’s after Arang. Fangirl love or not- Lee Jun Ki and him together at the same time, would kill me.

    Okay… who’s got the channel on viki for this one? Celint- yours is deleted right? ARGH… do I love Joo Won or not???

  17. 17 Bengbeng

    oh, i love it sooo!!! too bad, Han Groo of Girl K is too young for the role. She’s such a bad ass =). But my choice is also Son ye jin, who can be sexy and sweet, good girl or bad ass =)

    • 17.1 mary

      Ah so that’s her name. I was thinking she’d be ok for this too. Or Rie in Gaksital.

      I wish Kim Seung Woo would cameo or be their boss or something, because I miss his character in Iris.

    • 17.2 duffy

      Yep, I she’s the first that came into my mind when I read this latest post…but she can pull it off, perhaps?

      I also vote for Kim So Yeon :)

    • 17.3 Ana

      I think Joo Won is too young to play the main lead – especially if he is cast opposite actresses like Ha Ji Won or Son Ye Jin. I would love to see a more mature actor take tihs role.

      • 17.3.1 mrs kimchee

        then you need to watch Gaksital.

      • 17.3.2 Airyn

        Oh, you should see him in Gaksital!

        Maybe the production is actually going for a younger vibe for this drama so that it will be a bit different from the movie. :)

        • 17.3.2.1 Ana

          Possibly – in which case a younger actresss should be cast as well. Joo Won has such a baby face that I would hate for his co-star to look haggard in comparison.

      • 17.3.3 ashura

        Yup Joo Won actually looks mature in Gaksital. I tink he should be fine acting with a more mature actress. Just like how the production team worked magic on LSG in his role in King2hearts. Lol.

  18. 18 Brandi

    *happy sigh* look at those dimples!!

    uh? what were we taking about again?

  19. 19 Yue

    I’m beginning to wonder if this guy is cyborg! They haven’t even wrap one drama and already talks about a new one? Still, I agree, if they don’t cast one hell of a female lead (can’t think of one right now), drama, we will have WORDS.

  20. 20 come2noona

    Oh man, those cheeks. They scream for kisses don’t they?

    Drama sounds good, but I am with you on the female lead.

  21. 21 Damselfly H

    What about Park Min Young (Dr. Jin, City Hunter, Sungkyunkwan Scandal) as the female agent played by Kim Ha Neul in the movie? I see Joo Won, therefore I see Park Min Young. Not sure if Kim Ha Neul and Kang Ji Hwan is up for the TV version, there will be a lot of expectations and pressure on them. I also see the tendency of not reusing OTP in other dramas, since KHN and KJH were already in 90 days, Time to Love.

    • 21.1 sareena

      Erk. I hope its not Park Min Young and Lee Da Hae.

      Hehehe.

      • 21.1.1 crazedlu

        i will seriously cry a river if park min young’s name ever comes up.

      • 21.1.2 yui

        indeed! no PMY or LDH..seriously..we need a new face! maybe CL from 2NE1..everyone knows she’s the badass female seoul city ever had :D

        btw i choose HAN HYO JOO, she may act well as the badass agent.. it’s gonna be cool :)

        • 21.1.2.1 Kay

          I’d love to see Han Hyo Joo venture out of her girl-next-door drama roles and try something new, she’s a great actress but has been doing the same roles for a while…

          Thats the same reason i DON’T want to see Ha Ji Won – same old, gets boring

          • 21.1.2.1.1 Nbf

            I agree. I remember now that i loved moon that embraces the sun, and han ga in is a great actress,but i think han hyo joo would fit yeon woo sooooooo much . I kinda missed her on that drama .

          • 21.1.2.1.2 Airyn

            Ooh, Han Hyo-joo! That’ll be an interesting choice. I’d like to see her do something new, too.

            And add me to the people who will cry a river if they cast PMY. :(

    • 21.2 Minea

      Eeep! I. HOPE. NOT! imma kidnap and torture the casting director if she’s cast as the female lead.

      • 21.2.1 KDaddict

        I’ll lend a hand.

        • 21.2.1.1 GaksitalPpyong

          Count me in too.

    • 21.3 Awe

      to be honest, park min young is an EXCELLENT comedic actress and should have never ever been casted for dr jin…although dr jin has turned into a freakin comedy.

      park min young is hilarious—but my vote is still for kim sa rang

      • 21.3.1 ladida

        She is great at comedy. Her facial expressions and voice lend themselves very well to it.

    • 21.4 SS

      Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! I love PMY as Na Na in CH and I don’t hate her cuz I tried not to watch Dr Jin. I guess I love Joo Won more, LOL!

  22. 22 CM

    OMG! drama version for this film!? I’m totally IN! And having Joo Won in it!? MAKE IT HAPPEN PRODUCTION CREW! But I’ll curse them to death if they bring an “actress” just for the sake of looks or popularity. They already have Joo Won’s good looks and popularity and he’s an awesome actor, if they bring a female lead just for her shell…

  23. 23 Kang Song Kyung

    This has to be one of the worst pictures of him I’ve seen, lol

  24. 24 Sajen

    never seen the movie but sounds promising, I’d personally like to see them cast Han Groo because she showed such promise and talent in Girl K then let us down by choosing a daily, which while I haven’t seen it I know enough to know it’s not a showcase for talent, this could be her chance to raise her star even more

    • 24.1 Mawiie

      I was thinking about her too, but doesn’t she look a bit too young to already be a super secret agent in the beginning pf the drama? If i remember correctly there was a 3 years time jump in the beginning of the movie before KJH became an agent himself

      • 24.1.1 Sajen

        well she is young somewhere between 18 and 20 I can’t remember so it makes sense that she looks young, but like I said she showed in Girl K she already has talent with tons of room to become even better, and I really want to see her in something new, also I’ve come to realize through watching dramas that make up, clothing, and hairstyle can drastically change how old you look.

        • 24.1.1.1 Sajen

          there’s also the fact that the only other two actresses I can think of for the role Ha Ji Won and Kim So Yeon while I love both of them, it would annoy me if they were cast. Sure they’re both lovely and talented but I’m sick of older women playing like they’re younger if they want someone younger either cast a younger actress or an older actor

    • 24.2 Danna

      Ooh she would be fantastic

  25. 25 lala

    I thought that Lee dong Gun and lee dae hae have been offerred to these role before??

    I’m dying to see this Lee couple since their drama,
    sweet 18 where Han Ji hye as the heroin. And Lee Dae hae is the villain one.

  26. 26 -K

    Best news I’ll hear all week. Love that freakin’ movie.

  27. 27 kdramaaddict

    well, I guess the plot was good for a film but drag it for 16 episodes that was a reason that other actors and actresses drop the project!

  28. 28 syra

    guys, how about han hyo joo?
    she would suit perfect with joo won!!

    • 28.1 Awe

      she’s too serious, neh?

      kim sa rang ftw

    • 28.2 canxi

      Han Hyo Joo is lovely but I’ve never seen her be funny before, so I’d be super dubious about that.

  29. 29 jenny

    i watched that movie before…and it’s good…love the comedy, romance and actions on that drama…hope the drama version of it will be as good as its movie version…and btw joo won fighting

  30. 30 Anvesha

    The movie was hilarious… Mostly because of Kang Ji Hwan.. I can’t imagine Joo Won the Gaksital being all silly, but if he gets cast, it will be fun.

    • 30.1 SS

      I can totally imagine Joo Won being silly. Looked no further than Ojakgyo Brothers. Although he wasn’t silly per se, he played the part of the socially inept Hwang Tae Hee who is totally clueless when it comes to the fairer sex. He was just so funny even without a single scene of being over the top.
      And if you dont have time, just watch his CFs like the KFC burger and the Mountia, the very short 2 to 3 secs in the beginning of the clips, so funny

  31. 31 crazedlu

    agh! please please please! my only request is that they don’t fail at casting the female lead. PLEEEASE! i hope they don’t cast an olderish noona for him. nothing against them, i love them, but for these younger actors, they’re always casting older women for them. i’m actually surprised mok dan was casted so young, which i LOVE. so i hope they cast perfectly. there are plenty of talented actresses joo won’s age and younger who could fill this role.

    • 31.1 Ana

      Totally agree… some pairings in recent dramas just looked so off to me because of how young the male leads and how old the female leads tended to be. I hope casting directors start picking couples where both partners are of similar age.

    While I admire his ambitions and talent as an entertainer. I am very concerned about him wearing himself out whiich is not good for his health. He is very hard at work with Gakistal, 1D2N, does guest appearances & gets approx. 30 mins sleep per week, when is he going to rest? The man must take a break after Gakistal in his case 1 month is reasonable. He must take care of himself, his career is fine right now, rest for his body is essential for him right now.

    I did see the movie Level 7 Civil Servant which I enjoyed but for the remake I do not want him to star in it. Joo Won is just 25 (26 by Korean standards) and the lead character was older which made sense. Not saying that he cannot playing an older person, he has & did a pretty decent job at that. But for me, my preference would be someone else Hyun Bin comes to mind, I think he should be out of the army by then & he has the ability for that role, it would interesting to see what he can do with it or one the actors who just left the army as a comeback role its possibilities with good writing & directing are endless.

      What human can function on 30 mins. of sleep a week? That’s less than sleep deprivation torture allows. It’s not possible for anyone to focus, memorize lines, have command of his emotions and facial expressions on that amount of sleep, right?

    • 32.2 spjork

      If we’re talking about taking Joo Won out of the equation entirely, I’d nominate Cha Tae Hyun or Jo Jung Suk for this ‘un.

    • 32.3 Musings

      GONG YOO?!

  33. 33 Aliiiiiiiice

    Mr. and Mrs. Smith redux. yay!

  34. 34 becca_boo

    Well now if they cast anyone else, I’m going to be disappointed no matter how awesome he is. Okay, maybe I could settle for Park Shi-hoo (who am I kidding – that would be awesome), but anyone else? *sigh* Joo-won, what have you done to me that I’d even be disappointed with Kim Soo-hyun?

    • 34.1 becca_boo

      P.S. If we’re talking about female leads, I’d like to nominate Song Ji-hyo. Think about: Gaksital and the Ace together. Pretty cool, right?

      • 34.1.1 mary

        Yey! The Ace! Not bad, not bad at all!

    • 34.2 Heidi

      Omg, same for me! I was wondering about if not Joo-won than maybe I won’t even consider to watch it and than I read Park Shi-hoo’s name and really if not Joo-won than pls kdramaland PSH would be as perfect as Joo-won :D

      And also Song Ji-hyo the Ace O.O wow would be badass :)

      • 34.2.1 Maya

        Oh my! Yes! I would luuurve to see Ace Jihyo as The heroine, she would be great given her track record as the second most valued spy in RM :D (please refer to Park Ji Sung episode)

  35. 35 graygirl

    Great!!

  36. 36 J

    Maybe… Shin Se Kyung? She might be young but certainly look a lot more mature. Plus she’s sexy as hell and has chops. Totally spy material.

    • 36.1 canxi

      Haha, she would be good. She played a sort of spy in a recent movie too. :)

  37. 37 Noelle

    I really wanted Daniel Choi in this role. Well nothings crossed and dotted so I can still hope.

    • 37.1 Awe

      ooh—me loves some Daniel Choi.

    • 37.2 Awe

      ooh—me loves some Daniel Choi.

  38. 38 neonrainbowstarrs

    SHUT THE EFF UP OMG
    THIS WOULD LITERALLY BE A DREAM COME TRUE
    IS THIS EVEN REAL LIFE?!!?!?
    BEST MOVIE EVAAAAA
    and besides the two original leads getting back together
    MY AEGYO FILLED JOO WONNIE?!
    IM IN LOVE!!

  39. 39 Tha

    Maybe I need to check Joo Won out some more. Only saw him in King of Baking….Loved him. I may need to unmask this masked man.

    But you know what you know what I can look at all day everyday?!?!?! Tak Gu!!! How Ive missed him!

  40. 40 bluemoon

    My pick would be either Park Ki Woong or Joo-won for the lead role. However, they both won’t get to rest if they choose this drama. hehe! Sorry, these two are currently my biases.

    My pick for lead actress would be Son Ye Jin. She is one of the best actress in Korea. Like a post above me, she can be badass when she wants to. Kim Sarang is not a bad choice either. Would love to see her as a lead in a drama once…don’t know if she has led other dramas before

  41. 41 jinkzz

    I love Ji Hwan and Ha Neul in 7 Grade Civil Servant… watched it at the theater when it came out and laughed so hard…I have since re-watched it at least a dozen times and still not tired of it.

    I am happy if Joo Won takes this drama although that would mean jumping from one drama to another without much rest but he’s young so I am sure he’ll be okay. It will be interesting to see him as a bumbling and awkward agent since the other three roles that he’s done are serious ones.

  42. 42 Pitch

    The movie was really cute and funny! Joo Won would great as the male lead, all dorky and unable to get about anything right.

  43. 43 imprinted

    MOON GEUN YOUNGGG!!! She’s done with SCHOOL!!

    87 babies reunite please!!

    • 43.1 Danna

      Yesss

    • 43.2 My

      YES!! I just want to see her again…

    • 43.3 waterfights

      THIS I CAN GET BEHIND! I would love to see this pairing but I just read some news that she won’t graduate until Spring 2013?

    • 43.4 reeen

      it would certainly be interesting to see her acting badass. I only know her in sickeningly cute roles.

    • 43.5 Lita

      yes..yes..Moon geun young
      I love her..and it will be Moon – Moon couple , i think they will be awesome together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • 43.6 Moonie

      OH YEAH.

      Moon Geun Young and Moon Jun Won in a drama together. EPIC.

      Yeah, why not Moonie… Try same badass role. I vote for Moon Geun Young!

      • 43.6.1 eli

        I am in……i love her!

  44. 44 R

    Yesss good news !!!
    I would like Sohn Ye Jin too for the female lead…
    Joo Won fighting !!!

  45. 45 yren

    how about yoon eun hye!!! i think she can pull this off…plus eun hye is a good actress and sexy as hell! and the kisses won’t be boring!lol…

    • 45.1 reeen

      also a good idea :)

    • 45.2 msim

      I would love that!
      Her talents need to be rescued from dismal conventional rom-com.
      YEH can be very physical as well, I believe she could punch/jump/spy if she needed to.
      (see The Legend of Seven Cutter to get an idea).

    • 45.3 damianna

      agree!!!

  46. 46 canxi

    That would be cool and he’s gaining more fame steadily so it would be good for him :) Plus the writer of the film is working on it, so that’s a good sign. Another 24 episodes though. Ouch. My back hurts just thinking about that.

    For the female lead I’d totally like Park Ha Sun to do it. She can be sweet and intense and it’ll be cool to watch. She’s the only one I can think of right now, but they’s be cute for sure.

    And if Joo Won doesn’t take the role they can always get Jo Jung Suk to do it :D I know he can be funny, hilarious even, and serious. And he looks FLY in a suit.

  47. 47 all4movies

    Joo Won? Oh no, I definitely can’t get into this actor. Especially after Kang Ji Hwan did such an awesome job. I would have preferred even Daniel Choi in this role.

    • 47.1 Tha

      DANIEL CHOI would be awesome!

    • 47.2 Noelle

      AGREED

    • 47.3 canxi

      I too agree Daniel Choi would be great. I think we are all just itching to see him in something new again! XD

  48. 48 gala

    Song Ji Hyo?! lol, i just want to see her in a romcom.
    (but she had that tomb raider-esque CF and she can look the part of a badass spy/femme fatale!)

  49. 49 apple

    How about Park Shin Hye?!!! I would like to see her as Joo Won’s lead actress :)

    1. Park Shin Hye!!!
    2. Lee Chung Ah
    3. Eugene
    4. Yoon Eun Hye!!!

    • 49.1 Cammaynn

      Uhmmm…..Ah, what about JANG NA RA?

      OR…YOOn SO YI??

      MY BEST FAVORITE ACTRESS HA JI WON…oh yeah, she’s really wonderful!! :D

      Aha!! How about Moon Geun Young, hm..??

    • 49.2 Zola

      That’d be awesome! I really enjoy watch Joo Won’s acting performance in Gakistal!! So SUPER cool!

      Ohhh, Park Shin Hye..?? Oh I really like her & she’s adorable “ageyo”, haha. In fact, we haven’t seen her in any action movie nor drama either. I think she will try to do that for the first time, yups. :D

  50. 50 Mel

    Loved the movie–Joo Won totally awesome, now hope the female is funny!!!!
