My Girlfriend Is An Agent (; lit. "7th Level Civil Servant") is a 2009 South Korean romantic action comedy film directed by Shin Tae-ra and starring Kim Ha-neul and Kang Ji-hwan. The film had 4,078,293 admissions nationwide and was the 4th most -attended film of the year.[3]
A Russian organized crime group takes possession of an advanced bio-chemical weapon from Korea with the help of a corrupt Korean scientist, and two special agents are the world's only hope to stop them. One is a veteran domestic secret agent named Ahn Soo-ji, who is a master martial artist and fencer. The other is a rookie international agent named Lee Jae-joon whose foundation is analytical work, rather than fieldwork. The agents get into trouble when they consistently goof up on the job and have an ill-fated relationship, when coincidentally they are dating and don't know each other's secret identities. The passion between them turns to madness, as the lies and secrets between them build until they nearly kill each other. The only thing they can trust is the fact they love and hate each other. The tension builds as they attempt to work out their relationship while working behind each other's backs, unknowingly on the same mission to save the world.
It was remade as a television series 7th Grade Civil Servant, starring Choi Kang-hee and Joo Won, which aired on the South Korean network Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) in 2013.[5] [6]
In 2011, the remake rights were acquired by UTV Movies. The Bollywood remake will be co-produced by UTV Movies and director-turned-producer Imtiaz Ali, and directed by choreographer Bosco (of Bosco-Caesar fame), with Shahid Kapoor as the male lead and Katrina Kaif as the female lead.[7] The film was canceled.
