My Girlfriend is an Agent/Level 7 Civil Servant

[rosdrise]

I've been waiting anxiously for this movie to get subbed and thanks to rainscene I wasn't too late to the party. Why so anxious? It stars one my favorite drama actor: Kang Ji Hwan. And since he hasn't done any full dramas since Hong Gil Dong I've been going through withdrawal.

Too bad this movie was such a disappointment. Don't get me wrong. There were some fantastically funny bits. The air soft gun battle was one of the most hilarious things I've seen in quite some time. And KJH did some great physical comedy and jumped whole-heartedly into the role of the bumbling NIS agent. Kim Hanuel filled her role admirably, but there just wasn't a lot for her to do. All the truly entertaining bits went to KJH.

The actors were fine, the plot was the problem. It was so elementary (Russian spies! Biochemical warfare!) and slapdash. I don't think it knew what it wanted to be. I enjoyed it just fine, but I was expecting more. Either more drama or more comedy. Just MORE.

My boss bought lunch for the department! SWEET!
