Behind the scenes on the set of Athena
by girlfriday
I love seeing happy pictures from a serious drama. These stills from the set of Athena: Goddess of War show the cast in a much lighter mood behind the scenes, when they’re not busy running around saving the world. I’m really enjoying the drama thus far, mostly because although it’s the same old spy stuff, it’s got a really great cast of characters that makes me invested in the action.
Kim Min-jong as the shady Northern defector-turned-ally is my personal favorite, and I’m also really digging Su Ae and Jung Woo-sung‘s dynamic, wherein she’s the uber-badass black-ops spy, and he’s the competent but less-badass slacker. There’s actually a moment where he’s smitten with her because he watches her kill people. It’s sick and twisted and totally awesome, only because they’re both spies, and he has no idea the extent of her actual badassery.
The stills are from the latest episodes in Japan, and also on the set of NTS headquarters. Athena airs Monday-Tuesday on SBS.

Hello Kitty!!! I want one!!!
Watching Su Ae with her badass role makes me think back of her role in 9 End 2 Outs....
I love their chemistry and excited to see the developments with the characters!
Kim Min-jong is also my favorite!!! by the preview, he'll once again be Jung-woo's sidekick!

Such a contrast to the grayish somber tint the screen omits whenever Athena is on air. The cast is actually:
1. smiling
2. not at each other's throats
3. holding up PEACE signs
Cute. Heh.

totally off topic but guess who the new spokescouple for the Basic House 2011 campaign is: Moon Geun Young and Won Bin! Its crazy to think Moon Geun Young played the younger version of Song Hye Kyo's character (and Won Bin's character's love interest) in Autumn in my heart and now they are portraying a couple for a campaign. Saw a couple of the BTS pics and I have to say Won Bin looks mighty young for his age and Moon Geun Young doesn't look too young with him.
Back on topic, the cast looks like they have fun off-set.

You got it right GF!!! The scene where JW was smitten by HI killing people is so gloriously twisted and awesome.
I also love their dynamic, with HI being the super bad ass character but JW is not bad either. It's just HI has that edge.

KMJ + Hello Kitty = WIN.
Sadly, I'm less thrilled with the current episodes. Nothing to do with the story, just my own little weird mind. I either A) go for the second-leads or B) go for the bad guys. In Athena, it's like Chae Seung Won fits both the above. And for some reason, because of my dislike for NIS's director and Lee Ji Ah, I kiiiiiinnnndddaaa root for Athena. Blah. I know... I know.
But next week's episode seems exciting, so I'm still hooked on the show :D

What??? Why?!?! Lee Ji Ah = awesome. Too bad she's the 2nd lead.

IDK.
I guess I haven't found a reason to like her character. To be honest, it's more of LJA's character then the actress herself.
Her character feels... bland. But she might probably get better later. It's just at this point of the story, I'm just more interested in Athena.

Jung Woo Sung with a serious face and a peace sign! *dies*
Funny to see Su Ae all smiles while her character always makes fake smiles.
And Kim Min Jong with the fan! That is so Asian, indeed. He's adorable in the series actually, and I'm loving him as much as I love the triangle between Hye In, Jung Woo and Son Hyuk (not on Jae Hee though because she should know what she's getting into from the start).
And that picture with bloody CSW and the other guy he fought with and the cake? Priceless.

I truly like the acting of LJA in Athena. To me she is perfect and awesome actress, though she had only 3 years of experience in the entertainment industry. She can portray and immerse any role given to her once the camera start rolling but quiet shy during press conferences. She is pretty and beautiful within. I have read in some articles in "Soompi, Ah Ah and etc. which have several positive reviews/comments and praising LJA for her excellent acting as well as being pretty and beautiful whether in a simple/without make up. So Lee Ji Ah keep the good work and don't be discourage for any negative remark for they {anti-LJA} have nothing to do, just envious and always have a crab mentality.
