Now THIS is more like it. The first shoots for Level 7 Civil Servant, MBC’s upcoming spy-action rom-com, were a little (and I don’t mean this negatively)… ordinary for the premise. By which I mean, you didn’t really get “spy” or “action” or “rom-com” from them.
Here, though, series star Joo-won transforms into the secret agent identity that he’ll spend some time trying to conceal from his co-star and love interest Choi Kang-hee. Who also happens to be a secret agent. I know, what are the chances? (In dramaland, 99%.)
Joo-won’s played a cop/detective/gun-toter in a bunch of roles so far (Gaksital, Ojakkyo Brothers, Special Investigative Unit), but what can you say, the man knows how to wield a gun. Or should I say man-boy, because he’s looking adorably young and rosy-cheeked in these stills, where he’s portraying the “comic and mischievous” hero Gil-ro. In addition to shooting, Gil-ro can also add hand-to-hand combat skills and car-racing to his list of abilities. And noona-killing, and melting hearts.
Level 7 Civil Servant follows melodrama I Miss You and premieres in January. Aw, that’s probably a good thing, so he won’t have to go head-to-head (for very long) against his hyung and castmate Cha Tae-hyun’s drama Jeon Woo-chi, which is also a Wednesday-Thursday show. Because that just might have ended in tension and tears on the 1N2D set. Okay, maybe not actual tension, but food-stealing and name-calling, definitely.

joo woon~~~ swoon~~
He looks so sexy with his new hairstyle. Man-boy really suits him well. Hehe.
Am I the only one who really really wants him to take a break? He works so hard.
P.S. i miss his hair in Gaksital.
me too!!! Mane of glory~
Me too. I prefer his hair when he’s Gaksital, not the Sato Hiroshi hair.
his best hair was in Ojakgyo brothers for me
love Lee Kang To’s hair …
Joowonnnnnn <333333
Joo Won + Gun = Awesome Combination
<3
January, pls come sooner …
Aww I have to agree, he is looking rather youthful in these stills! All the better for me and my 20 year old self! Hehe
I hope Choi Kang Hee’s hairstyle in this drama will make her look younger. Please, don’t make her look like an ahjumma.
Won ssi x-men
Thx for the pics !!! Love this !!!
“In addition to shooting, Gil-ro can also add hand-to-hand combat skills and car-racing to his list of abilities. And noona-killing, and melting hearts.” the last sentence made me giggle xD
he look more younger in the still & I cant wait to watch this cuz the movie version is really great ^^
Ma boy and his gun! He doing it like nobody’s business.
Can’t wait!
Aren’t you supposed to keep both eyes open when you fire though? It helps greatly with depth-perception and compensation for any wind elements. Just good habit I suppose.
he looks awesome in these pics, and made me wonder how did the female staff of 1N2D graded him 5th in term of good looking?
crazyyy i knoww
I’m guessing that was all scripted to give people a good laugh but Joo Won doesn’t exactly fit the Korean standard of male beauty either. I personally think he’s really handsome but he’s not known for his looks per se in Korea.
5th?? Pshh. What were they smokin?
I honestly think that they went by ‘how much I liked this person’. I’m not saying Joo Won isn’t well-liked by the staff…. But maybe they just wanna vote who their favourite 1N2D member is.
Yeah, it was more of a popularity poll.
he looks cute
They should also show still from the heroine, she will have a big role (not mok dan type). Isn’t it Romantic Comedy? so MBC stop fool us with overflow of JW stills i think she will have a bigger role.
Obviously, Choi Kang Hee will do most of the funny parts because she’s the veteran. But I also want to see JW do the comedy. He would be hilariously cute, I guess.
he lookslike hisyounger version ingaksital, before he sarted working for the empire!
awww! i does. so cute.
*he does
Noona killer?Anytime boy.Or man?
At least he’s legal.
“At least he’s legal” hahahha
I don’t care what others have said… I’m confident Choi Kanghee will look good with Joo Won. I’m so exciteddddd!
Same here! I think both of them will ace this project as far as compatibility
January? You mean I get that sort of a birthday present? Lol
LOL! I know right? It’d be my birthday present as well!
I am so freakin’ excited for this drama! I can’t concentrate on school finals right now, i’m too hyped! I need to focussss…
I love his little smirk in the 2nd picture. Why does he look younger as he progresses in each drama? Ageless beauty, i tell ya….
Joo won hot as always now i realy realy miss january
One more actor who Can rock the short hair do
Joo won hot as always now i realy realy miss januaryyyyyy
my baby looks so freakin adorable <3
Closing one eye to shoot? Not very convincing. u.u
If Chansung is the second lead competing for Choi Kang Hee would any Hottest know of his character’s occupation? Would he happen to be a spy himself which would mean action/shooting scenes – pun not indeed?
“Gong Do Ha (Male, Late 20’s)_Hwang Chan Sung ‘The only new agent entered through special employment program!’ After high school he enlisted in the Special Forces; in the line of duty, he earned a bachelor’s degree in informational communication in four-year night college. As well, he served as a combat technique instructor for the troops dispatched in Afghanistan and Iraq, and is a specialist who completed extensive sniper training. To further contribute to his country, he applied to the NIS and accepted through special employment program. But, his dignity and self-esteem breaks on the first day of work. No one gives him special treatment and recognition.
Gong Do Ha ignores all of the new agents because they do not have strong patriotism, nor ardent comradeship, and their physical strengths are at ridiculously low level. They only are kids who got in with high exam scores. Han Gil Ro is rattlebrained and Kim Poong Un is a mere cartoonist. Suh Won is the only one who is not absurd to him. He can empathize with her as he can feel that she also has struggled to overcome the rough world by herself as he did. He constantly feels affectionate towards her, wants to do something for her and protect her. ”

Wait, so Do Ha knows that Seo Won is a spy. And he knows that Gil Ro is a spy (of course, since he’s working with him). So…..can we count on Do Ha to spill the beans?
Hahahaha funny premises awaiting.
Thank you, tonbotomoe & gongdoha for this detailed description of his character. We should expect to see lots of his fighting skills, then, hopefully.
Oppppaaaaaaa!!!!
I can’t wait for January!!! Joo Won rocks!
Joo won looks so cool in the stills! Hope MBC do not screw up the drama though
Great pics THANKS DB!!!! Joo Won wow!
Joo won is really someone who transforms even physically it seems for a role. Can’t wait!!
I only know him very recently from 1N2D where he throws out these cute pouty looks. This drama sounds interesting; looking forward to it.
Eye candy!
GAH, this made my day. Thanks JB! *biggrin*
Now I hope he won’t shoot people he loves anymore with that gun there…
Har har! Puns all over the place today!
Joo-panda eats shoots and leaves.
Yo, Chansung is looking pretty spiffy in his military uniform too…
