“Civil Servant” kicks off filming, wishes self luck
by javabeans
October 13 marked the official start for work on the romantic action comedy Civil Servant Level 7 [7급공무원], starring Kim Haneul as a sexy veteran spy and Kang Ji-hwan as a newbie agent on his first secret mission chasing Russian industrial spies who work for an illegal crime organization, in an attempt to prevent the proliferation of dangerous chemical weapons. (So many things to giggle at in the description. What’s not to love?)
Cast and crew performed the opening spiritual rites for good luck, and filming commenced in the city of Suwon on the following day.
The film is directed by Shin Tae-ra (of Black House) and also stars Kang Shin-il (Public Enemy Returns, Golden Bride), Ryu Seung-ryong (Painter of the Wind), and Jang Young-nam (Women in the Sun) in supporting roles. Also in attendance were several dozens of Japanese fans (attracted by Kang Ji-hwan, no doubt — not that I blame them!), some of whom sported T-shirts bearing Kang’s name.
Civil Servant Level 7 is looking at an early 2009 release.

Is this supposed to be a movie or a drama? It's good to see them work together again since "90 days, Time for Love", when they had that incest-love-story. That was sweet but I did not dare finish it. Anyway, it'll be nice to see both of them onscreen again, movie or drama. KJH is just gorgeous!

90 days had a surprisingly well wrapped up ending and gave the audience a sense of closure to the story and didn't leave issues hanging. The drama had a good finish to the storyline. It was worth finishing for me. KJH's performance was awsome.

Many thanks to javabeans for all updated precious pics & news.....
I always stroll in your blog.......
I can't help falling in love with KHN, she's the only one who can make me love K-Drama strating from "19X25 the Romance" until "On Air" and I have been followed up all of her works with enthusiastic & happiness... Do not surrender to miss her roles.......
I love her because "She doesn't pretend to be the character...., she is the character" :)
Hope this year 2008 will be "Golden Year of KHN" and I wish she should be considered as a best acting award of the year :)
For KJH, I saw him only time in "90 days, time for love", Hyun Ji-Seok trusted me the their love is built to last and it's real. He is versatile and warm. I think both KHN and KJH will make more power and great movie ............
Keep waiting to see u both :)
