Joo-won shoots (hur hur) for Level 7 Civil Servant

55 December 4, 2012December 3, 2012

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.

I hope Choi Kang Hee's hairstyle in this drama will make her look younger. Please, don't make her look like an ahjumma. :-)

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?

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.

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.

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. :-)

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. ;)
