7th Grade Civil Servant (Hangul: 7급 공무원; hanja: 七級公務員; RR: 7geup Gongmuwon) is a 2013 South Korean television series starring Choi Kang-hee and Joo Won as rookie spies who trained together, and later become NIS agents who must hide their real identities from each other even as they fall in love.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

It aired on MBC from January 23 to March 28, 2013 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 20 episodes.[7]

The spy romantic comedy series is a remake of the 2009 film My Girlfriend Is an Agent.[8] Early working titles were Secret Agent War and The Secret Lovers.[9][10]

Plot

Love and espionage collide in this drama of the National Intelligence Service's rookie agents. Han Gil-ro (Joo Won) realizes his dream of becoming an international man of mystery, after a childhood spent poring over James Bond films. Kim Seo-won (Choi Kang-hee) spices things up as a goofy, yet determined agent, but it's not all 007 glamor. Both Gil-ro and Seo-won must learn what it takes to uphold their sworn duty, even at the sacrifice of their happiness — and lives.
