Level 7 Civil Servant’s ballroom flirting and agent training

Finally, a tux! Who’d have thought it’d be so hard to get a wannabe-James-Bond in a tuxedo, for pete’s sake? Priorities, Show. We’ve got more stills and teasers for spytastic rom-com Level 7 Civil Servant, featuring leads Joo-won and Choi Kang-hee in that one ballroom dancing scene that for some reason has to be in every single spy rom-com. You know the one: two spies dance while spying on neighboring diplomats/terrorists/informants waltzing nearby, stealth-attack henchmen while doing fancy dance moves learned at Spy Academy, heat up their sexual chemistry, catch all the bad guys, aaaaand big dip to finish. That’s storytelling economy for ya.

The other stills feature second lead Chansung in special ops training, led by Ahn Ne-sang and his lieutenant Jang Young-nam. The pair of them should be a riot together, though you wouldn’t know it from the stills. But you wouldn’t cast two comedic talents like them and waste them on buttoned-up serious roles, would you? Would you?

Overall the teasers give a good feel for the show — light, fast, heavy on the comedy and the action, thank goodness. The actors don’t seem afraid to look ridiculous, so I think we’re in for a good time. I’m ridiculously excited for Uhm Tae-woong’s cameo, just for the meta bromance alone.

The closer we get, the more my excitement level rises. Maybe I’m conflating my impatience for seeing Joo-won as 007 Lite with my anticipation for the show. Oh who’re we kidding. That pretty much encompasses all of my excitement for the show. Bye-bye melodramas, hello secret agent shenanigans!

Level 7 Civil Servant premieres January 23 on MBC.

I truly don't mind the hairstyle but her contacts are driving me nuts! What secret agent would be vain enough to wear eye-size enlargers? Every time I see her face I'm reminded that this is fake which is terrible for my viewing pleasure :(

Oh, but those are no ordinary circle lenses, they have microchips with connection to her EYESpy MainFrame (TM) so she can gather information on everything she sees, cyborg-style. Just by dancing she has learned everything from his grades in high school to his inseam length...

Joo Won looks ridiculously hot and sexy in here. There's something about his stern and no-smile look.. I can already imagine his sexy deep voice... *suddenly got reminded of his cute ageyo voice with his ridiculously adorable smile*

OMG speaking of which, I wonder if Joo Won will have some ageyo in this drama, since it's a rom-com. Please, writers? Haha.

And Choi Kang-hee looks so pretty from her side profile. I'm so excited for the main couple, okay? Love him and her. Their chemistry is what I'm anticipating most for.

And Uhm force, you sexy villian. YES, THE BROMANCE!

But why can't the angry bad-ass heroine give a real punch to the hero, not that hand-to-face-clap? :(

As for other things - it looks good ( I want to see Tae-woong and the scene of Joo-Won's "screaming/singing" - looks funny )

Better yet, why can't a smart, articulate heroine communicate her feelings without resulting to physical violence to prove her point? Women in Korean dramas result to violence as a way to communicate their emotions far too often. It's cheap and tacky and frankly beneath any smart woman.

I agree but at the same we don't know the context yet. Who knows if he was being a world class ass-hat & he just really needed some sense knocked into him. I still wouldn't want or like her to slap him, of course, but I'd at least understand it.

Why didn't anyone mention that this was the Runaway Plan B writer? Everyone talked about Chuno, which I never watched but plenty of people liked - but the storyline and characterization in Plan B was a disaster from beginning to end - confused, unfunny, cartoony. I looked it up in Dramawiki, and sure enough...sigh. My expectations have sunk even further.

I'm really disappointed since I heard Choi Kang-hee would be the main actress. I have no idea what Korean people think of her but as far as I know and her ex-projects, I couldn't like her. especially her eyes makes me uncomfortable, I don't know how to express that feeling :S
also, the age gape bothers me for the first time.
anyway, I think I'll skip the drama just because of her :(

Same here I was gonna watch this drama for joowon but I can't bear with yet ANOTHER terrible female lead.I disliked her in protect the boss and it looks she'll be ruining another drama.I have the same issue with school 2013 that show is awesome love lee jong suk,daniel choi,kim woo bin & park se young but I cannot stand jang nara's acting/character.
It's a shame cause joowon and uhm tae woong are awesome actors but that's not enough for me to put up with a shitty female lead(sorry If I offended anyone but that remains my opinion).

I won't watch the preview because my patience would wear thin just waiting!!!! A dancing scene is enough to peak my interest, Thanks to City Hall and SOAW!! and I also the cast!!! I've seen them in their previous roles.

I'm loving the teasers! Esp the part where Joo Won did that crazy shooting in the shooting range while kids are watching him and when he belts out that note while he's listening to the music from his earphones (would be funny if it's a ballad song or if Gil-ro can't sing). Those serious stills really gave out the wrong impressions of the show! lol!
Please come soon January 23!!

Me too, actually. I was not excited when I heard she'll be the main lead, but it's been decided already so no amounts of complaints can change it. Either try to embrace it or stop the complaints... [and before anyone said anything, yes I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and you can either rant or rave here.. :D ]

Word. There's no need to say the same thing over and over again.

Required fields are marked *

I agree. It gets old. While she's not my favorite actress all around, she's great in tough girl and funny roles. I personally feel a lot of the complaints are really because of the real life age gap between her and the male lead. That's just my perception. I don't understand why that stuff bothers people. If the ages were reversed, I wonder if there would be as much worry. I'm one of the few that might watch this drama because of her, not him. He's of little interest to me.

I remembered Joowon said that he want to work with a girl whose the same age like him but unfortunately his wishes wasn't granted. Disappointed perhaps joowonie boy? Better luck next time instead. Noona is a great actress. Just go with the flow.
Thanks gf.

Love of my life? I mean, Joo Won? Is that you, darling? Soooo hansome. And talented. And again, why is it that the James Bond franchise failed so far to have an asian actor play the main character? Joo Won is right here, gentlemen. The drama looks good. JW looks GREAT. The female lead, Choi Kang-hee not so much. I only saw her in Protect the boss and her acting is good, BUT: MOM, is that you? What are you doing playing the female lead in a drama opposite Joo Won? She is 10 years his senior, but it looks like 20. Some actresses just look very young at 35. She does't. The age gap will be an unwanted distraction for the viewers. I can't imagine a kiss between those two.
