It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I'll vote 10 because it was the first Korean film I watched when I subscribed to Netflix streaming. It inspired me to watch several dozen Korean films and television series because the stories and productions are so well made. By the way, Kim Ha-Neul was great 3 years after AGENT in a TV series called A Gentleman's Dignity. Didn't care for the gentlemen, though. This AGENT film grabbed me by the funny bone in the opening scenes when the Na-Neul appears as a model in wedding dress, a toilet cleaning maid, and a Japanese speaking travel agent. I loved the recurring dialog Who trained you? from the higher ranking NIS agents.The scenery was great -- I loved in Korea for a year Aug. 1996-Aug. 1997 and miss those days, but thanks to Netflix, I'm back home there again in my mind.

My Girlfriend Is an Agent is only a very ordinary action movie and doesn't work well as a romance, either. The premise that the two stars are both secret agents who must constantly lie to each other to protect their covers is certainly a good plot device to keep them apart until the final reel, but it also makes us wonder what they see in each other in the first place. If that were all there was to the movie, I would say don't bother watching it.But forget about action, forget about romance, this is a comedy movie first - one of the funniest Korean comedies I've seen. It's a little slow getting started. The introductory scene with Ahn Soo-ji (Kim Ha-Neul) on a jet ski chasing bad guys in a speed boat isn't funny. And I didn't like Lee Jae-joon's (Kang Ji-Hwan) first failed attempt as a field agent either. Foolishly responding aloud to the voice in his earpiece while the bad guys are in the same room is just dumb, not funny.Fortunately it doesn't take long for the comedy to hit its stride, and from then on things really get rolling. All of the characters are earnestly trying to do their best to save the country from a deadly biological agent, but their efforts seem in vain as scene after scene goes awry in the most creatively improbable ways.I see that many of the other reviews compare this movie to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I can see the superficial similarity of characters and plot, but to me this movie has a lot more in common with the Pink Panther movies. There's serious work to be done and the stars are trying as hard as they can, but are only rewarded with one uproariously funny failure after another. For real secret agents that wouldn't be good enough, but for us movie watchers it's more than enough reason to tune in to My Girlfriend Is an Agent.

"7th Grade Civil Servant" is a quite entertaining action comedy movie with some curious spy flick passages and a romantic love story. A female agent loses her boyfriend because she can't tell him the truth about her real job as a special agent. Three years after, the two heartbroken and unique characters meet again. The boyfriend still doesn't know anything about his big love's career and has become a special agent for a different section of the state. His girlfriend realizes quickly that he is now also lying to her but she's emotionally furious and blind for the truth. In a case involving the transfer of a deadly virus from a scientist to a gang of Russian criminals, they have to figth against each other and sometimes work together without knowing it which leads to many hilarious sequences until the final revelations.By only reading my introduction, you can easily see what this film is worth. The movie's two biggest flaws are that the story is nothing really new at all and heavily predictable at some points and that many comedy moments get a little bit too repetitive and silly from time to time.On the positive side, we have two convincing main actors with the beautiful, hyperactive and tough Ahn Soo-Ji that is incarnated by Kim Ha-Neul and a clumsy, courageous and naive Lee Jae-joon that is performed by Kang Ji-Hwan. They have a good chemistry and perform very well together, both in the harsh and the romantic parts. The supporting actors are also very funny and only the main villains remain a little bit faceless.The slapstick moments in this movie are rather comparable to the Japanese and Hongkong cinema of the eighties and nineties and fail to have the same unique brand of brilliance as recent South Korean flicks as "Save The Green Planet!" for example. Sometimes you rather feel as if you were in a Jackie Chan flick. If you like this kind of more accessible Asian humour, you will really feel at home with this flick but I think that there's a little bit too much comedy in it against its own good. The movie could be more unique and lacks of something really outstanding.It's though a very entertaining, light-hearted and sympathetic flick that is worth a watch but in the end nothing more than a good average flick with solid comedy moments and average action scenes that are saved by a very good acting.

My Girlfriend Is An Agent is either the Korean remake or Korean version of the Mr And Mrs Smith,the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie-starrer wherein the two American lead stars mentioned got together in a controversial relationship. Going back to the Korean movie,it provided a few laughs and it had its funny moments BUT the script was written all over the place. The scriptwriters does not know its primary focus as it divided its time to the romantic relationship between Soo Ji and Jae Joon;their activities as secret agents; and their mission to stop the international crime syndicate that was going to steal a biochemical weapon from Korea.All three were included in the story to provide romance,comedy,drama and action necessary to entertain the viewer. If the movie's script has incorporated all these three things into one plot,it would have been a better movie. Both Korean stars,Kim Ha Neul and Kang Ji Hwan,did their best with the roles given to them by having great chemistry and providing laughs and funny moments BUT they never were able to make this movie a classic one due to the poor story writing of this film. Too bad that both Korean stars were talented to make this more than what it is.Nevertheless,I still give this movie a high 8/10 rating for its entertainment value alone inspite of the deficiencies in its story-writing.
