Joo-won signs on to rom-com spy drama

Rejoice! Joo-won’s back! He took all of two seconds off after working himself to the bone in Gaksital, but I’m pretty sure nobody’s gonna complain that he’s signed on to a 20-episode drama, Secret Agent War.

I know what you’re all thinking: He just did that drama! But this one’s a romantic comedy (ah, so his interview was a hint!), and based on the rollicking action-romance movie Level 7 Civil Servant. That film starred Kang Ji-hwan and Kim Haneul as exes who broke up when she was a spy hiding her identity from him. Then they meet years later when he’s become a spy, but they’re part of separate units so they have to keep up their covers in real life. All while juggling their cases and fighting their crackling chemistry, giving us basically one big shenanigan. The movie cracked me up, and I’m ALL SET for it to be a drama.

The drama will retain the basic premise of the movie, with both spies hiding their identities from each other. Joo-won plays our passionate hero Gil Ro, who decided in his youth that he wanted to be a spy after watching a Bond movie. That cracks me up. His father became rich practically overnight, so he grows up in wealth and comfort, with a generous spirit toward others and a chic, refined appearance. Gil Ro gets accepted as a secret agent, but he’s not your usual veteran agent; he thinks and acts like the new generation he belongs to, and he makes mistakes and causes conflict. That sounds similar to Kang Ji-hwan’s character (who was forever making hilarious gaffes on the job, then able to turn around and be awesome, and then gaffe again), but we’re told Gil Ro will be a different character from the original.

Secret Agent War will have the movie’s writer-producer Chun Sung-il onboard as its scriptwriter, who has since also written Chuno and Runaway Plan B. I’m hoping Chun has learned from Runaway’s failures (which also was an action-comedy with secret agents and glib humor) and gives us a bit more heart, a little less superficial gloss. I suppose it’s too much to hope that he’s suddenly learned how to write women characters, but still, I’m gonna hope my heart out that they cast an awesome female lead. Someone badass, who can stand up to Joo-won and hold her own, or maybe kick his butt around a little.

The drama is aiming for a January 2013 premiere. Start your countdown clocks!

Via SBS E!

I kinda want Lee Si Young to do it. She can kick ass for a fact as professional boxer and can be a total babe and is hilarious.

And I feel like they'd be so cute together.

Yup, in Nate it said that she has a detective/surveillance agent movie thats starting to film in October. So maybe she wouldn't want to do a similar role back to back like that.

I personally don't want to see any famous older veteran actress like Ha Ji Won in this...I want a younger, new generation actress. Not a rookie but someone who is still fresh and just got popular within the last one or two years or so. Like Moon Chae Won or Oh Yeon Seo or Kim So Eun or even Jung So Min.

Han Hyo-joo, as much as I like her, seems to lack the passion needed in rom-com. Granted, I've only seen her in two dramas and those were from her earlier years. But she plays a lot of melodramatic roles even in her movies, so many, that when I read about a new project of hers, I mentally hit the snooze button. I feel like she might just drag down the funny. I'd love to be proven wrong, though, but not in this.

Wow! it's really time for Joo-woon to be in a romcom. This premise is already amazing and I also enjoyed the movie level 7 civil servant. although I'm welcome for the changes in the drama, with Joo-woon's character being a rich kid. I hope he's like a prissy, spoiled agent, much like Edward Monk, that OCD-ed detective and if the drama gods would be so willing, I hope he'll have a partner who's like Han Groo's character in Girl K. It would be awesome if the girl will be like the butch, with a juvie record and all, and he'll be like the by the book agent.
anyway, whatever will be, will be. I'm already anticipating this. Just don't give the lead to some idol-turned-actress. (yes I'm looking at you girls from SNSD)

Plastic idols? Really? -_- Half of the SNSD members haven't even tried acting yet, and you're already judging their ability? I don't think it's wrong that you don't want anyone from SNSD as the lead female role (because neither do I. I don't want any idol to be the lead female, even UEE or Eunjung, who are considered "good" actresses), but it's completely unnecessary to be saying plastic idols.

I agree, that was really just uncalled for. Its okay to not want an idol cast (most people do not) but lets stay mature and not get petty.

I'm also hoping for Han Groo or someone a bit young-looking and badass.

Joo Won is so young-looking maybe they can build that into the premise. Like both male and female agents go undercover in a school/uni and think that the other is just a student.

I don't know any young-ish female leads who can pull-off badass. Han Chae Ah is already romancing Hyungsital so she's off the list.

Also, how funny is it that everyone always jumps in to suggest casting at a time like this? :)

"...she's currently a Panda at the moment" - LOL, that made me crack up so hard. That's awesome, because it's so correct.

But yes, I'd LOVE Yoon Seung Ah in this role; she's clearly capable of being cute and charming and then turning on a dime to be totally badass. Panda and Hedgehog will be over by next week, so she might be available. It really depends whether she'd take up another project so soon, plus whether she has enough star power for them to cast her opposite Joo Won.

Aaah... so she's the girl in that Panda drama. Hahaha

What about Jung So Min/Playful Kiss girl? Is her sitcom still airing?

There was a seen in Playful Kiss where she fantasized about beating up the guy and it was crazy hilarious so I think comedy-spy stuff can also work for her.

Thanks for the link! It was hilarious! According to the laws, though, since my bias isn't cast as the lead I'll have to hope for Second Lead Syndrome?

I'm so with you on that note! To add to that SNSD should totally be banned from casting on ANY dramas!!!

Please no idols unless said idol can act like Eun Ji (too bad she's doing the Legally Blonde musical)
Han Groo would be a perfect choice but then she's been there done that (though this could be quite different since it's a rom-com)
How about that girl in AGD (the one paired with Kim Min Jong's character) Yoon Jin Yi, I think she's got spunk. Plus they sort of have that T-store CF together.
Or yeah Park Min Young will be fine for me also.

I want Park Min Young or Shin Min Ah to be paired with Joo Won. But SMA is still filming Arang so it may be impossible to have her.

Han Hyo Joo is also good..

But please, no SNSD. I also don't think Han Ji Won and Joo Won have a chemistry. It's better to have a younger actress to be paired with Joo Won because he's baby-faced. I don't have anything against HJW though..i loved her character in K2H.

Omgah omgah omgahhhhh. Please cast a female lead who matches the character and Joo Won.

I don't want to be known as the resident noona dogger--I'm plenty noona compared to some of these K-drama pretty boys--but I reeeeally want someone around his age to star opposite him.

Strange casting choices, but I love these actresses so I vote for: Park Boyoung, Park Shinhye, Kim Soeun, Baek Jinhee. I know Kim Soeun has a drama coming up, so I'm vouching for my other three. I'm not looking for the female lead to be butt kicking cool--there are only two of those in K-drama: Kim Soyeon and Ha Jiwon, and I'm tired of seeing them in these roles, plus, they're ten years older--so I just want them to cast someone around Joo Won's age who can act well.

Pleeeease cast welllll.~

Yay! Good for him. I'd like to see him in a rom-com and the movie was hilarious so hopefully this would be a tightly plotted drama. I'd hate for it to have many fillers like so many others (why not 16 episodes?).

Anyway, love the suggested leading ladies above like: Kim So Eun, Lee Shi Young, Kim Min jung, and Han Ye Seul. But who I'd really like to see in a rom-com is Jung So Min. I think she could take on Kim Haneul's role. I would really love to see a different side of her in a drama like this. ;)

I picture the female lead to be someone not too much younger than joo won, not too much older, can be same age, tall-ish,not small/petite/short. As for the badass appeal, that's what good acting is for.

Here's my list:

Park Hasun, I love her commitment to her work, she would do great. Seeing her play a badass would be something new and interesting.

Yoon soyi. Idk I just like her ok? I want to her to pick a good project since doing color of woman. That is, I hope this drama will turn out good.

Park minyoung, she seems like she would suit this role.

Moon chaewon, but she's doing nice guy T__T. Wait but will NG end in time for this drama? Even if it does she probably won't immediately jump to another project.

I want Moon Chae Won tooooooooooo! I know even though Nice Guy will probably end by then, she'll probably not jump into another production immediately. Uhm Tae Woon and Joo Won are not sane.

First time heard the news, somehow I hoped UEE drops her role in Jeon Woo Chi, and gets paired with Joo Won this time. They are perfect couple :"> But its obviously a "CAN NOT"

So... can I suggest Ham Eun Jung for the female lead ^^

Though she is an idol actress, I think she can do well with every role she is given. Too bad that she was kicked out of Five Fingers.

It would be beyond awesome if Ham Eun Jung really take the female lead role and pairs up with Joo Won. You know, like coincident, Joo Won's partner in BM was Jin Se Yeon, this lady took the role of Eun Jung in FF after she was out, now if Eun Jung and Joo Won together... wow... soooooo great!!!

At least I can hope :)

I agree! Casting Eunjung in this project as the female would be brilliant. She totally pulled off the badass character in their Lovey Dove MV. I'm perfectly aware that the acting involved in an MV is not in the same league as the one in dramas, yet I believe in Eunjung's talent. She deserves to be given a break to make up for being kicked out of Five Fingers.

Oh please no! She's still a bit lacking, IMHO. I don't want an idol actress for this, sorry to say. The only idol actress acceptable (for me, heh I sound arrogant) is UEE, but she's already doing jeonwoochi.

And tbh, the female actress should be someone with really great comedic chops but can pull off badass... And quite well-loved. Song ji hyo? Hmm...

I also would like Eunjung to be the lead role opposite Joowon.

Joowon said he wants to do rom com next . Eunjung wants to costar with Joowon( Eunjung revealed in her twitter)
He also said he wants to pair with twenty-ish or around his age .Now Eunjung is around same age as Joowon.

As for her capability, I believe she can pull this off.I watched Haneul in the movie with Kang Jiwan and I believe Eunjung can do it.

She has comedic chops- watch Coffee House and SNL where she hosted

She can be bad ass- watch Day by Day and Sexy Love MVs and Dream high

She's got great Aegyo. She can be really girly too.

Actually, I read somewhere that there is a rumor that they are considering her for the role. I hope this will come true.

This will make up(partly of what she lost from all the drama that has been happening with her and T ara.

Waah, you're right!

Eunjung was able to pull off both sides of the bitchy diva and vulnerable girl coin. She might be up for some spy-com role. :D

Ohh they better not cast Yoona or any of the idol actresses in SNSD, it would just ruin it.

They need someone who can do cute, sexy, and badass at the same time.

Lee Shiyoung would be great but isn't she older?

OPPA !!!!!!!!! I'm glad you're taking the lead role in a romance-comedy, but can't you take a rest first????? you're still very exhausted after Gaksital, we don't want you to get sick or hurt, but I'll wish you all the luck, and I hope it will be as famous as Gaksitaaaaaaaaaaaaal.

I don't know who can be the female lead, but she better not be older than him, I don't want him to be like Lee Min Ho always paired up with older actresses, and I will definetly hate it if they cast a member of any girl groups.

Anyway, Joo Won oppa!!! GOOD LUCK !!! and take care of yourself .

Wow! I love everyone's feedback on who we feel should be the female lead. No one seems to be suitable cos our aegyo boy is P-E-R-F-E-C-T.

I hate pairings that are not visually appealing, eg. 49 days. The wrong female lead will just ruin it for me.

Shin Min Ah would be perfect but she is too old for him. Yes, no one from SNSD please, or any idol actress except UEE or Eunji. Or Bo Young too from the Wolf movie with Joong Ki.

Even Eunji from APink may be suitable? She was brassy in Answer Me 1997! She has proven herself in that drama.

This it just gross ! I do not understand why people continue to do this. It is disrespectful. He is romancing himself? That is just wrong, in all ways.

I vote for Im Joo Eun! I would totally hate it if an SNSD girl or any of the idol girls got the role too, but they'll most likely cast one of them for the hype. :(

Well, if ever they consider a SNSD, I wouldn't mind Sooyoung. I think she's doing ok in 3rd hospital. She can be tomboyish too. Plus, her height and age would be ideal for JW. But that's just appearance-wise for me. I still say no to an idol.

I would love to see Im Joo-eun in a starring role in a long drama. She's too good and charismatic to remain in supporting roles. I hope with Joo-won as the lead, the makers of this drama won't feel the need to cast a superstar actress or some popular idol girl whatever (kill me if they do that!) to balance the star power.

Oh shit. She'd be so good! MAN, where the hell is sheee?? I swear it takes 5 years for a majority of the good actresses (or a majority of the actresses I like) to pick up a role ):<

First female lead that came to my mind is UEE. I am currently watching Ojakgyo Brothers. They have so much chemistry. :D

I dunno about the premise (saw the movie, turned it off half an hour in) but it's JOO WON!

OTOH, my female lead wishlist would be (in order of awesomeness): UEE (impossible i know), Shin Se Kyung, Min Hyo Rin, Lee Min Jung, Park Ha Sun, Park Bo Young (too babyfaced tho...)

Big no no: idols with only pretty face, Ha Ji Won (kinda sick of her relying on the tomboy stereotype), Park Min Young (the reason CH sucked for me)

Like Gaksital, we've waited months to know about the female lead to be casted alongside Joo Won.

I don't think we will hear news on the female lead anytime soon. Not only the female lead, I'm excited to know who will be cutie's dad as well.

I'm so excited on his new drama.
