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!

Awww! I hate when someone is disappointed by something I pimped, like I'm personally responsible for raised expectations.

I hope the hot KJH made it worth the download, at least.

Oh don't worry! I had raised expectations all on my own. It was still fun, but it felt more like a tv movie scriptwise.

D!!! WHY IS HONEY AND CLOVER (ANIME) SO GOOD YET AGGRAVATING??

Wait, did you watch that series?

I actually have never seen the anime, though I've heard awesome things about it.

I've seen the live action movie and jdrama that came out a little bit ago. They were OK, but I wasn't terribly impressed at all. A lot of people say they had to cut out way too much of the story, so maybe if I saw the anime I'd like it better? I just got irritated watching people be selfish and stupid.

the story was pretty damn stupid. i was so sad because it was so hyped but it ended up being so....overdone and trite. thank god the two leads had chemistry?

Lol, I have to agree about the battle with the air soft guns (http://www.airrattle.com) in the movie.
