Scenes From Upcoming Spy Drama “Athena: Goddess of War”

Written by On September 1, 2010

The cast and production crew of Athena: Goddess of War, the spin-off of 2009′s high-tech spy thriller IRIS, held a showcase on August 30 at Seoul’s Lotte World’s Garden Stage where viewers finally had some substantial scenes to keep them at bay until the drama’s November premiere. Even though a teaser was released last week, there’s nothing like a highlight reel to get you all excited as it shows some new scenes and more exposure of characters who haven’t been featured as much. While the teaser mostly featured the two leads Jung Woo Sung and Su Ae, the new scenes include more action from the supporting cast Lee Jia, Cha Seung Won, Kim Min Jong, and Super Junior’s resident thespian, Mr. Choi Siwon.

And of course everyone’s clothes and hair stay intact through all of the action scenes, only looking fashionably disheveled. That’s drama for ya. Will I watch it? Maybe. I feel that Athena isn’t going for the exact same tone as IRIS, which will probably be a good thing. IRIS tried a little too hard to be epic and badass that even T.O.P.’s sexiness couldn’t keep me a loyal viewer. With that said, Athena might be more fun for me. Also, BoA‘s special appearance doesn’t hurt, either.

    lol…it was actually top that made me want to stop watching iris, buuuut…i kept going cause kim so yeon’s uber awesomeness far outweighs top’s uselessness of a character =]

    I didn’t even finish Iris 1 but it was a cool drama, different than what you usually see

    As much as I loved seeing TOP in Iris, it kind lacked something and failed to get me interested so I couldn’t finish it.

    This one looks slightly more interesting, probably because it’s only a preview but I’m already loving the dude with facial hair. He seems like an epic character and has already crept his way into maybe becoming one of my favorite Kdrama actors if I like him in Athena enough. Oh, and no offense to TOP-loved him in what little of Iris I actually watched-but Siwon is looking hot with that gun and those moves. He just may keep me interested too.

    And I actually might like the girl character in this one. I forget the main actress in Iris because she kind of pissed me off because I disliked her character greatly. :/

    The trailer looks so awesome. I’ll probably watch Iris then this when I finally have to time to marathon them all.

    Siwon in the pool was hot. The DBSK fangirl in me squealed and flailed like a freak when I saw the side of Yunho’s face during the BoA cameo.
