Joo-won: 007 Civil Servant

Yummy. I could almost subsist on stills alone for this drama, to tell you the truth. Who knows, it might even save me heartache in case it’s a trainwreck. But it’s not likely I’m going to pass up watching a whole bunch of this *looks up* and that *looks down.* No siree. More stills for action spy rom-com Level 7 Civil Servant, comin’ right atcha.

So… what I’m getting from these stills is: violent but pretty. Choi Kang-hee’s really going to be put through the wringer with both guys, from the looks of things. Do you suppose that the headlock will be this drama’s wrist-grab? Because OW. She gets her licks in though, judging by Joo-won’s bloody nose. It only seems fair.

The more I see of this drama’s promo stuff, the more I think it’ll be like Runaway, and not like Level 7 Civil Servant the movie at all. I’m not even sure if the leads have a chance to be spies without the other one knowing it, if they’re entering the ranks and training together. I suppose I’m fine with a rewrite as long as the tone stays light and fun — just because you have guns, don’t forget you’re a rom-com, Show.

Level 7 Civil Servant premieres next Wednesday on MBC.

By Eom Tae Woong, are you referring to the actor shown (in several photos) next to a punching bag? Wow, he looks smoldering, smoking hot. Why is he not playing the lead role, rather than a cameo?

Photographed next to Eom Tae Woong (or whoever the actor is), both Joo Won and the lead actress (don't know who she is) look so bland. Seriously, Joo Won needs to sharpen his facial contours and shorten width of his cheeks, to avoid looking like a clown. Hit the gym or go through a boot camp training or something.

It would be nice to see names next to each photo. Do agents (owners of the photos) in South Korea permit their star's photos to be shown without proper credits?

Err...not trying to offend you, but your mistake recognize which one is eom Tae woong (and mistakenly Chansung as HIM), directing harsh words to Juwon....I'm speechless
I love Chansung to the bits, but him as male lead? I think he need to wait a few series first before stepping into lead shoe (though as a popular Idol you can get it anytime, but no, if you really want to act, you'll wait).

Why Juwon get the lead role while he isn't that hot as Chansung? Juwon is the IT boy now, it was defined by the number of high rating dramas lined behind him. And even though Chansung is mighty popular as 2PM member, he isn't as popular as Juwon. Well yes, popularity plays role a lot in Korea.

If you don't know anything,why still commented?waste of space and hurt the feelings of fans.
Why should a director cast a main lead based looks?They are not making a host club to attract the women.If you want Chansung to be main lead,go and watch his shows not this drama.

And what did Joo Won do to get this kind of insults from you?Just because he is not flower boy(plastic surgery) type?If he is clown then your idol is what?Dummy?Mummy?

To all bothered by Dominique's scathing remarks on Joo Won. I am a fan of Joo Won and have read enough of Dominique's comments on Joo Won to know that she hates him to the core. Just like I love him to bits, she writes as if she'll tear him to bits if she could. I have seen people criticising him and that's fine, but I have never seen someone who hates an actor with so much vitriol. Maybe I haven't seen fan wars...

The Eom Tae Woong(a mistake anyway!) remark is a smokescreen. I doubt she is a fan of Chansung as some people might infer. She doesn't even know his name. I only know that she loves Lee Min Ho. Not that it explains anything.

So don't get too worked up, not worth the trouble.

Forgot to add....Dominique did comment in Gaksital so I presumed she watched at least some episodes. She hates Joo Won there too, so don't ask her if she'd watched him or his acting skills. It's got nothing to do with it.

Well, that explains it. Damn. I mean, I personally am not a fan of some actors, but to be writing something so revoltingly wrong about someone for the sake of "showing hate about that person" is simply unacceptable and downright juvenile.

Yes, you haven't seen fan wars at all. This type of comments are really common in places like ONTD, though they're made by just a few individuals but still I'm not used to reading them in Dramabeans. You're right about this person, she's just trolling and trying to stir problems

I don't know why people are mad. He might be an animated actor (too animated for my taste), however he is not nice to look at at all. He just looks like he should play the villain at all times.

that's really a compliment. Joo Won is blessed with a face and/or rather skills to play diverse characters. Hwang Taehee on Ojakgyo Brothers was such a sweet dorky guy compared to the wretched Ma Jun in Baker King. And of course, we had Lee Kangto in Gaksital, enough said.

One of Joo Won's strengths is his versatility. And I am sure he can play the role of a villain very well. How many actors his age can portray a bad guy convincingly? He is admittedly still raw but has blown many away with such a range in just 3 dramas. Let's see how he can live up to expectations in this new role which is again a 180 degrees turn from that in Gaksital.

I know you like to mess up our minds, Joo Won, but we are loving every bit of it, aren't we?

Sometimes I'm confused, are you Joo won lover or hater? because you pay attention to him until the detail.. cck..cck.. whatever you say.. Joo won is the best for me and I'm sure for most of us....

lol...I had the same reaction! I always thought chansung was quite tall...

I was curious so I looked up his profile...it says chansung is 184cm whereas joo won is 185cm. So, I think maybe in that last pic chansung has a wider stance and his head is tucked in so that's probably why he appears much shorter ^^

But regardless, they are both uber sexy XD Can't wait for this drama!!!!!

Train wreck is written all over this one. Runaway plus a bunch of guys that look to be about 14 or so. I love a good espionage tale, but this looks like circa 1970's Bond - as performed by the Mickey Mouse Club. Staying FAR away.

As proven as one of the excellent young actor, I'm looking forword in how will Joo Won portray his role this time.. I'm a fan since his Baker King days. He was so damn fine in Ojak Brothers and Gaksital and adorkable in 1n2d.

Not sure about the story this time but man, my baby looks sooooo fine in those suits... Like his previous work, I believe he will give his 100% commitment in his new drama.

Can't wait to see Joo Won on screen again...And Changsung is extra eye candy...Although so far i'm not fully getting a hang of the plot (both young guys liking Choi Kang Hee and all is not just plausible) but will still watch it....

Predicted highest rating would be less than 20% most likely between 15-18%.....

Baker King: 40%+
Ojakgyo Brothers: 30%+
Gaksital: 20%+

I really love Joo Won's acting and he seems a very nice-sincere-adorable person so I definitively watch this drama! It looks funny and different from his previous dramas. Good that he wants to challenge himself with different types of roles.
However, I don't think it will have great ratings: rom-com & same time slot as jeon woo chi then iris 2 & jo in sung's drama! He is young & not as famous as the other actors i think... Don't know if Choi Kang Hee is popular in Korea .... Wish this drama all the best and so excited to watch this !!! I'm sure the actors will be good, just hope the script also will be good then everything will be perfect :)

So Joo-Won has done a melo, a family drama, action, now rom-com, is saguek next? I kind of want to see him with a mane of glory...and no shirt.

Well, he does look good in a suit. *swoon*! Many hot guys in this drama -- I might watch it just for that even though the story isn't my usual fare. I don't care for this actress. NOT because she's "too old" (I really don't care about that), but I remember her from Thank You and she really just rubbed me the wrong way.
