Coming soon to a television near you?
by javabeans
The action comedy Level 7 Civil Servant, or per its English title, My Girlfriend is a Secret Agent, drew in more than 4 million viewers in a slumping movie industry and proved to be a smash hit. Such was its success that now it’s entertaining the prospect of being adapted for a television drama.
According to the production company, offers for drama remakes are pouring in: “We had proposals while we were still in production on the movie, but because of filming, we weren’t able to look into it. We’re considering it in a positive light.”
One source said, “There have been a lot of dramas about spies. We plan to make the Level 7 Civil Servant drama look at their lives in a little more detail.”
On the downside, if the drama doesn’t cast Kang Ji-hwan and Kim Haneul (very unlikely, I’d think), it’s already lost a lot of its charm. But on the upside, the movie’s screenwriter, Chun Sung-il, is expected to return as the drama’s screenwriter (which would follow his current project, writing the fusion sageuk drama Chuno).

this is weird. Last night I was remembered that I (realllyyyyy) want to see this movie and I started looking for if it's available to download.
This morning, I opened dramabeans and....you got the poster on first page!
I realllyyyy want to see this. The DVD isn't available yet, i've seen the torrent link ( don't do torrent :( ) and no subtitle offered. T__T
Oh, why don't the original casts join the television's version? it would be awesome!
And Kang Ji Hwan seems have no upcoming project yet, right?

A tv series?
As long as they don't get Dennis Oh, it might work. He was awful in Sweet Spy.

Ah, that reminds me that I have to watch the movie! I haven't seen it yet... but I won't be going to the Korean market til sometime next week.. and I'm sure by then I'll forget to get it.. like how I did last time -_-
Anyways, a drama/tv version would be awesome *o*
But no Kim Haneul or Kang JiHwan would be a bummer.

I haven't had a chance to watch this movie either, although I really would like to see it. I found it on Viikii (http://www.viikii.net/channels/goto/7gradecivilservant#) but not every part is subbed fully.

The movie was fun. I'm a fan of Kang Ji-hwan and Kim Haneul - they have chemistry. I thought the movie was too short. It will be a long while before it airs, so maybe the memory of the movie will fade.

JB, you're soooo right...if they don't cast KJH & KHN to reprise their roles...the drama would totally lose its charm & essence!!! i've watched the movie 5 times already & the roles were "tailor-made' for the them!!! plus, the fact that i love, better still...i adore these 2 stars' tandem so much...from the time of "90 days" & more so in this movie!!! they have that certain intangible "chemistry", much like KSN & CSW of " city hall"!!!

Javabeans...thanks for the article...i wish nd hope that KJH and KHN will lead the drama version also...it has been a while since ji hwan completed HGD ...would love to see him on the small screen again.
for those who want to download, here's the torrent link ( no subs):

@djes : Ji Hwan has a new show entitled One Day, Somewhere which is a 20 episode Japanese travel show and will air on MNET Japan starting Sept 26...they already filmed the first season and will film the second season around the end of this year, i think... he will also be doing a Style cameo.

Honestly, the movie was average and quite typical but Kang Ji Hwan and Kim Ha Neul made it cute and hilarious.
