YesAsia Editorial Description

The Super Rookie is back, and this time he has a gun! Following his endearingly goofy outing in the 2005 hit comedy series Super Rookie, Eric Mun embarks on more undeserved-employment shenanigans in Super Rookie Ranger (a.k.a. Korea Secret Agency and Invincible Parachute Agent). This time luck places him in the Korea Intelligence Service, the Korean equivalent of the CIA, alongside rock-star-turned-actor Shin Sung Woo (A Funny Wild Girl) and actresses Han Ji Min (Great Expectations) and Yoon Ji Min (Monopoly). If you thought Eric was hilarious as a salaryman, just wait and see what he cooks up as a secret agent!

Unemployed 28-year-old Choi Kang (Eric Mun) has been consistently mediocre his entire life, made worse by the fact that his younger brother is a genius. Rejected from every job he applies to, Kang seems to be doomed for a life of bumbling failure - until the day he saves an old woman. His good deed amazingly leads to a meeting with the president and a job with the Korea Intelligence Service. Assigned to the same team as veteran agent Kang Eun Hyuk (Shin Sung Woo), who recently returned to active duty to hunt down his wife's killer, the comically unskilled Choi Kang slowly learns the ropes of fieldwork. His long-time girlfriend Gong Ju Yeon (Han Ji Min) joins the agency to be close to him. Choi Kang, however, unwittingly falls for international spy Alice Jean (Yoon Ji Min), the very person Eun Hyuk is looking for.

‘낙하산’ 하면 일단 떠오르는 것은 ‘능력도 노력도 없는 주제에 빽에 기댄’ 인간이다. 한국사회에서 ‘빽’이라고 한다면 대통령 ‘빽’만큼 높은 것도 없을 것. <무적의 낙하산 요원>은 세상 가진 것 없는 백수가 대통령 ‘빽’을 잡아서 엘리트들로 이루어진 요원들의 세계에 들어가 국제적 산업 스파이와 대결한다는 내용이다. 지난해 백수가 전산착오로 대기업에 들어가며 펼쳐지는 좌충우돌을 그린 MBC <신입사원>과는 제작사(LK 제작사)도, 작가(이선미, 김기호)도 , 남자주인공(문정혁)도 같으니 전작의 배다른 동생인 셈. 물론 ‘어리버리한 신입사원’이란 컨셉을 장소를 옮겨와서 펼쳐 보이고, 배경도 대기업에서 국가 기밀 요원으로 바꿨지만, 20대 백수라는 사회의 마이너리티가 사회적으로 동경받는 직장에 들어가 여타 엘리트를 제치고 종횡무진 활약한다는 청춘만화의 설정은 동일하게 유지하고 있다.

애들아, 공부 못해도 딴 거 잘하면 되거든
‘이 시대 우울한 청춘들에게 또 한번 선사하는 희망찬 드라마’라는 기획의도를 내세운 이 드라마는 백수가 우연한 기회에 대한민국 첩보기관 KSA(대한민국 비밀 정보국)에 입성하면서 벌어지는 사건들을 다룬다. 요는 중고교 교실에서 수업에는 정신없이 졸다가 ‘넌 도대체 뭐가 될래’라고 두들겨맞던 대부분의 학생들에게도 ‘뭔가 될 수 있는 가능성은 있다’고 보여주는 것. 이 드라마에서 내세운 ‘낙하산’ 역시 능력도 없고 노력하지 않는 인물이 아니라, 인간성 좋고 상식도 있지만 이 사회가 정해놓은 학벌이나 인맥이 없어서, 낙하산을 타고 가뿐히 사회적 편견을 넘어 자기 진짜 능력을 발휘하는 사람으로 해석된다. 이용석 PD는 “수험준비하는 중고등학생들이 이 드라마를 보고 공부를 잘 못해도 주인공 최강처럼 대접받고 많은 사람들이 좋아하는 인물이 될 수 있을 거라고 생각할 수 있는 드라마를 만들겠다”는 학구열과는 한 발자국 떨어진 말로 좌중의 웃음을 자아냈다.

대통령 ‘빽’으로 요원이 되는 최강 역은 아이돌 그룹 신화의 문정혁(에릭)이 맡는다. 문정혁은 “예전 <신입사원>의 강호는 어리버리함이 매력이었다면 최강은 근거 없는 자신감으로 뭉친 인물이라 다르다”고 설명했다. 최강과 대립되는 엘리트 출신의 천재 은혁 역은 신성우가 맡는다. 최강과는 고교 동창인 여자 요원 공주연 역은 한지민이 연기한다. 고교 시절 전교 꼴등 최강을 좋아했지만 자신이 전교 일등이라 사랑을 가슴에 묻을 수밖에 없었다. 한지민은 문정혁과는 <늑대> 이후 두 번째로 호흡을 맞춘다. 비밀 정보국이 맞서 싸우는 국제적 산업 스파이 역으로는 영화 <모노폴리>에서 뇌쇄적인 매력을 보인 윤지민이 맡았다. 윤지민은 은혁과 원수로 대립되는 역할을 펼친다.

All about Eric! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I am writing not so much about this drama (though I enjoyed it, not may favorite...just fun) but about Eric.

I am currently watching his Chilwu, The Mighty with Eric as the main star Chilwu. What a surprise! I have watched all of his previous dramas but didn't think a great deal about him.

Well, can't wait to watch the rest of Chilwu. He looks very handsome in his Hanbok costume. And...what a great acting job he is doing. Now, I will re watch this and other dramas that he has been in and enjoy them all over again.

I do like his group Shinwha which he is a rapper for the band.

<3 Eric Mun Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Well I love Eric Mun and Shinhwa so I may be a bit biased but I reckon this is one of the best dramas I have watched so far! Eric's acting is quite good here as the role seems more comical and laid-back...very funny and hilarious drama! Must watch!

so cute Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I have always liked Eric Moon. I always watch all his series. I think he acted well here although i enjoyed super rookie more. He is really one good actor and singer at the same time. Shin Sung Woo is a real hunk in this series.

The villain girl here is pretty and sexy. Hope she gets a major role next time. Worth watching.

Comedy of errors Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
I enjoyed watching this drama simply because it is comical and light-hearted. Eric Mun stars as a not so bright and not so talented young man who graduates from a third grade university. As he struggles to compete with his much more talented younger but egotistical brother, a series of events changes his life. He saves a little girl from an accident (by default) and is mistaken as a man of valour by the president. You've heard of the KGB , CIA and so forth...okay this is a story about the Korean Intelligence Department. A series of comical coincidences and misinterpretations by the Korean Secret Service sees Eric being conscripted into the top Security Agency of Korea. Then he is also mistaken as a commercial spy by a beautiful femme fatale whose real identity is a dangerous commercial spy working for apowerful organisation whose job is to jeopardise the South Korean Economy. Hilarious. Ridiculous...and good fun to watch.
