First look at tvN’s Call My Agent with Lee Seo-jin and Kwak Sun-young

The first teaser has dropped for tvN’s new office rom-com Call My Agent (a.k.a. Surviving as a Celebrity Manager), a remake of the hit French comedy-drama Dix pour cent which is more commonly known by the same title in English.

Following the ins and outs of a top tier talent agency, the story has Lee Seo-jin (Dr. Park’s Clinic) as Method Entertainment’s general director Ma Tae-oh. Although charming and gentlemanly, he’s a strategist at heart and always has his eyes on the prize.

Kwak Sun-young (Inspector Koo) takes on the role of Chun Jae-in, team lead of the management team with a solid 14 years of manager experience. She takes a lot of pride in her work and has a competitive streak that often has her clashing with Tae-oh.

Jae-in’s best friend and fellow team lead is Kim Joong-don, played by Seo Hyun-woo (Extracurricular). And, last but not least, Joo Hyun-young (Extraordinary Attorney Woo) plays the part of rookie manager Sohn Hyun-joo.

In a four-way split screen, the newly released video teaser features our main quartet busy at work, negotiating over phone calls while shuffling through scripts and schedules, and jotting down notes. Joong-don tries to explain that it’s a misunderstanding while Hyun-joo panics, saying it’s not a rejection. Jae-in asks for more time and Tae-oh questions his caller, “Are you sure you won’t regret this?” In danger of getting disconnected, our four leads yell out together, “Please wait a minute!” Cutting to a text screen, Tae-oh reads, “We’ll do anything for our actors.” We then close on the drama’s title card as Tae-oh continues, “Call My Agent premieres in November.”

Directed by PD Baek Seung-ryong (Pegasus Market) with scripts penned by Park So-young (Meloholic), tvN’s Call My Agent is slated for the Monday-Tuesday slot in November.

It’s going to be tough to compete with Sh**ting stars in this genre as they had a great team atmosphere and the stars were top notch too. The comedy and feel good factor was on point. If they avoid dark themes that would be the only area in my opinion they would gain an advantage.

Watched the original and liked it well enough. Too bad that there's little hope this will also feature a lesbian main character. That would make me tune in for certain.

I think I liked the original too much to tune into this. It'll depend on the alternatives at the time I think.

Hum... It's not easy to adapt a comedy in a different country.

The French show had great cameos actors who were ready to be ridiculed. I wonder if this one could find such people.

That reminds me of the Lee Seung Gi cameo in Greatest Love, he went all in on being a real d*ick 😆😆😆

I've never watched the original show so I have no idea what to expect. I'm liking the idea of Lee Seo-jin doing comedy, because you don't see that from him too often.
