As the title suggests, it is a modern take on Edmond Rostands 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac, and the plot focuses on a dating agency that helps its customers win the hearts of the people they desire. Produced by Myung Films and distributed by Lotte Entertainment, the film was released on September 16, 2010 and ran for 121 minutes.

Kim Hyunseok wrote the first draft of the script in his 20s while a student on his military service, eventually forgetting about it as his career progressed. In the 1990s a production company bought the rights to the script but no movie was produced, and after the option expired, the rights reverted to Kim. After he wrote and directed Scout in 2007, Kim returned to the Agency draft. He worked on the script foryears, changing almost everything in the first draft but the films basic framework. Comparing the original draft to the final script, Kim said What changed the most was that in my 20s I had a fantasy of lovelike I believed if I lived well, then I could meet a beautiful woman. But years later, when I began the movie, my idea of love changed. Its not that you trust someone and therefore fall in love, but that you trust someone because you love them.Originally titled Agency, the first draft made no mention of Cyrano de Bergerac. Kim had seen the Grard Depardieu film as a college student, so he allows he may have been unknowingly influenced by it. In 2005 veteran director Bae Changho mentioned to Kim the scripts similarity to the play, so Kim decided while retooling the script in 2007 to overtly reference Cyrano de Bergeracturning the characters into a theater troupe, and setting the lovers flashbacks in France. ........
