I had plans to watch it tonight as well...maybe not.

To be honest I watched it for Song Ji Hyo(absolutely loved her in Running Man) but damn that movie was mediocre,I wish that I can unsee all parts except SJH's ahahaha. I'm having pretty good vibes from this pairing,it can't possibly get worse than than pairing with Choi Kanghee now can't it? Man,L7CS is such a trainwreck,I had my doubts but the drama just confirmed my thoughts that the pairing would never work out.

Really? I kinda enjoyed Jackal is Coming :P

Jackal is Coming wasn't even half bad as people made it out to be ..I don't know what they expected ? ...nothing about the press release or trailer made me think it was going to be great or packed with comedy ... it was just as I figured so I didn't regret watching it .

lol

I think he would look good with Moon Chae Won, Park Min Young or Yoona! They are all young, beautiful and in a same age range as him!

I think he will look good with yoo in na... She might make a good burglar too

I re-watched that movie recently. And I saw My P.S. Partner (but without subs)...I loved her! And my obsession with Joo Won is full on right now catching up on Ojakgyo Brothers. I can't wait for this drama. But he seriously needs a break.

Particularly Joo-won in spandex. Thanks, girlfriday :D

I agree too that Joo-Won doesn't look younger than his age. He's actually cast for older roles usually b/c folks think he looks older. He said that in an interview too.

It's those eyes of his. They're so... so... expressive and intense. (The director of Gaksital said he cast him b/c of his eyes too.)
A few have said he overacts. I think we may have seen some of that in Baker King since that was his first break in the drama world. Before that, he was doing musicals where you have to exaggerate your acting since you're on stage. But since Baker King, he's improved so much. I think he's doing a great job on Civil Servant.

I don't want to be rude to minorities but to me she looks transgenre. Something very masculine in her face makes me uneasy.

Not all... Jin Se Yun is 1994 (bridal mask) , Younger than UEE ...!

there is kim so eun, han groo, park shin hye, kang so ra, moon geun young, jung so min, moon chae won etc

Yep, JW forgets who he is once he starts acting the part. The 1N2D maknae becomes the character - Tae Hee, Ma Jun and Lee Kangto. I might be in the minority but JW is great with all his leading ladies and Choi Kang Hee is no exception. The proof is their chemistry and which is holding the drama and the ratings adds upto it :) If the writer of L7CS had done his homework properly the drama would have got it's due respect.

These were the ones I remember. Plus want to Add:

Han Chae-Ah (bridal mask)
Seo Yun-A (bridal mask)

more:
Jung Yoo-Mi
Kim Ye Won (I need romance 2, operation proposal)
Park Eun Bin (Operation proposal)

:)))

right... and that list has the names of good actresses if not better than the older ones. I just don't get it, pairing him with noonas. He deserves someone his age.

this! i like Han Groo.
also for talented young actresses, Im Joo Eun (Wild Romance, What's Up).

Let me rate this list :

Park Bo Young (Wolf Guy) - decent actress.
Moon Chae Won (Nice guy, princess man)- very talented, good choice.
Moon Geun Young (Cinderella sister, CDDA)- neutral.
Jung So Min (Can we get married, bad guy)
ParK Se Young (School 2013, the equator man)- love her, nice choice.
Park Shin Hye (Flower boy next door)- she's good, could be a nice pair.
Han Hyo Joo (Dong Yi)- beautiful but ok actress imo.
Yoon Jin-yi (gentleman dignity)
Lee Yoo-Bi (Nice Guy)
Jung Eunji (reply 1997 – that winter)- overract a bit.
Jin Se-yeon (Bridal mask)- bad actress.Period.
Kim So Eun (BOF)- she is ok I guess.
Park Min Young (city hunter, Jin)- are we talking about the actress that played Dr Jin love interest here? Meh, bland actress.
Park Han Byul- she's a noona, born in 1984.
Shin So Yool (reply 1997)- she is ok.
Shin Mi Ah (arang)- she's a noona, born in 1984. Extremely talented nevertheless.
Shin Se Kyung (Tree with deep roots)- sucks *eternally scarred by Fashion King*
Yoon, Eun Hye (I miss you)- she's a noona, born in 1984. Good actress.
Kang So Ra. (Dream High 2)- inexperienced.
ParK Ha Sun (Dong YI)- why not?
Han Groo (can we get married? Killer K)- no comment, I don't know her.
Han Chae-Ah (bridal mask)- she's a noona, born in 1984. I like her, she deserves better roles.
Seo Yun-A (bridal mask)- neutral.
Jung Yoo-Mi- not enthusiastic about this one...
Kim Ye Won (I need romance 2, operation proposal)- don't know her.
Park Eun Bin (Operation proposal)- why not?

I don't really mind the age gap...5 years is no big deal imo. The thing I mind is that Joo Won has been once again cast as a cop. I'm very afraid of him being typecast.

i think compare to another young actor joo won is the best and I didn.t see he overact. He act as the charracter, there's calm charracter, expressive charracter sometimes. Even if I compare him with older actor he's still good actor.
I think there's not much young actress as good as him so they cast more experience actress for more hard role role.They choose young actress if they really suit the role n the chrracter not too hard

Awww. But it's not his fault, so he shouldn't move over. PDs keep casting him, and the man just wants to work.

He's only done 4 dramas, including the one he's doing now, 7CS. He's just been the talk here b/c of the whole dramafever thing. A bit harsh to say you're sick of him when he's only done 4. Just sayin'.

Limelight?he doesn't have enough of it.I will rather appreciate a hardworking actor than some other actors who are riding the fame of their previous dramas.

I second that

Since you are not Joo Won's fan, I can understand your frustration. If anyone is a fan, they will feel the exact opposite, there is never enough of Joo Won. After all, he debut just 3 years ago and has only 4 dramas under his belt.
To us, it's entertainment but to actors like him, it's a livelihood. Competition is Korea's entertainment industry is stiff and brutal. There is no such thing as "share the limelight", it's free for all. True that not always the best make it, besides talent and good looks, luck counts too. At least in the beginning. There will always be hordes of new, young, good looking actors coming up.
Joo Won knows that he has to make hay while the sun shines. He hasn't arrived in terms of popularity and income unlike stars such as Lee Min Ho and Kim Soo Hyun etc. If he doesn't take this opportunity, it may never come again. Especially with enlistment coming up in 2 years, he will want to make his mark so that he can do a come back.
If you are a fan of an actor whom you think Joo Won has taken the limelight from, maybe consider that even if Joo Won doesn't exists, it will be someone else. Or if you are lamenting that newer actors don't get a chance, don't be cuz I won't be surprised if another new actor will be "hogging" the limelight soon.
I know that some talented ones never get a break. I just hope that at least a handful of these do get lucky, have their shot at fame and prove over the long run that they are certainly worthy of all the adulation fans heap on them.

Kang hee looked better in Protect the Boss. They made her hair look really ugly here. But what's with the mushroom do all the women on this show (Civil Servant) have? Is it really popular in Korea or are they trying just to make the women look manly?

well look at you ..reading about drama Whilst drink wine :)
