i prefer IRIS posters. here it feels like 'ok how many different poses can you do with a gun". but i dont mind the cast and i'll still watch it.

Siwon!!!! Woohoo!

somehow I think it is going to be a funny drama and not serious by looking at those posters

Not the best Jung Woo Sung picture, but good enough for a JWS fan. I might just watch this for his sake (and CSW too).

I love my fair share of ahjusshis.

I'm soooooooooooooooo excited, can't wait to see this drama. Aja, aja CSW.

JUNG WOO SUNG!!!!!!!!!

i am crazy waiting for this!!..

3 girls in these drama are much better than 3 girls in Man Called God, keke

For some reason, KSY make such a go impression as NK spy Su Hwa, I just find these 2 ladies lacking even in the pixs.

Perhaps they should consider cutting their long hair short to give a more fierce look than sexy.

I am already picturing them as another KTH in Iris.

@58 no way...just vivian by her sexyness alone owns these 3 ladies...i wish they wouldve cast vivian for Athena...

I'm also more excited for Athena than for Iris. Dunno why...perhaps the actors seem less polished and more gritty?

oops i meant @57 lol my first post

Cool..
can't wait for the drama

DAMN! They all look so badass ^_^

Like I said, JB will definitely post this one =D

CSW, dang I missed him a LOT since City Hall.. and Su Ae.. hahahaha... giggly over what this movie will bring out.

@dunlop: Yes, that intrigue me as well, who is this Athena they referring to?

anyone in italy? they're filming there right now if i'm not mistaken. Coz siwon is there for filming that's why he missed Music Bank performance yesterday...
i agree, IRIS promo is better than this, but it's only the first promo pictures... hoping for more stills...
Athena reference, i think it's not a war god per se, but maybe an organization or even a program (top secret national security program or the one that threatens it).. well thta's only my assumption here LOL

*Spazz!* I just love how everyone looks in these photos~~~

Not to mention Su Ae looks like a Koyuki/Shinohara Ryoko blended together here :O
I ADORE her look here!

*likes*

All of a sudden I feel like I need a like button to "like" this... Cha Seung-won, Choi Siwon, and Su Ae equals a peak in interest for me... IRIS was too "urk" for me... But I think I will give this a chance...

I was like Oh these pics could be better...until I saw Siwon. *drooools*

There are 2 CSW here. I'm only looking at Siwon! Can't wait for this drama and they better give him more air time!

Oh, Su Ae. Like those high heels will help you out in the field :-p

Kim Min-Jong = Timothy Dalton's Bond. He's got the look.

Oh Cha Seung Won you super smexy beast!!! :) :)
It's such a pain to wait for its release... :( :(

looking at cha seung won's badass picture i think he and kim soyeon would look good together

Su Ae is rocccccckin!

I'm guessing black is a kickass color, but that tank does Su Ae no justice. She's flat as a board.

I have to say, the spin-off is much more star-studded than its predecessor.

Cha Seung-won is going to be why I watch. Choi Siwon is going to be why I drool. =D

First glance, I thought Moon Geun Young has jumped onto the Athena ship. That hair is so reminiscent of her Unnie days. :P

But oh my, smokin Siwon... *cough cough. The posters are quite cheesy actually. I'm imagining crazy Bond stuff in these garbs. Interestingly, I find Lee Jia's better than Su Ae...

I hope they bring in hotter pictures. And yes, I am more interested in Athena than Iris. Perhaps it's my Siwon bias. :P

Si-won is soooooooooooooo hot >.<

ROFL at siwon’s nerdy look! but it does fits his newbie data analyst look XD

i might watch this, i wasn’t fond of Iris because it stole you’re beautiful’s limelight! i am that biased! haha~ maybe… if i have spare time… i’ll go watch iris

let’s hope this one is entertaining!

I myself think this is much better than IRIS. I couldn't find myself interested in IRIS although I like Lee Byung Hun. This spinoff has far better casts, at least with their acting abilities & the looks. I was worried about Su Ae the most but she looks the part in this promotion pic (much better than Kim Tea Hee I say)

SHET!!! im so desperately EXCITED!! star studded cast!!!
good casting to the maxx!!!

im an avid fan of IRIS thats why im waiting to this pilot epi!!!
SIWON.... i melt!!
Chaseungwon....HOT!!!
Suae! i love you!!
Lee ji aa!! extraordinary!!

WAAAAA!!~

oh my god...i love this,,
cha seung won is the best than all above..
i love u CSW....

i love the pic of cha seung won..
when i look that pic, i ust think about iris girl, kim so yeon..
if there were act together in this drama, i think they are the most hot couple..both are handsome and sexy.....hehehe

Jung Woo Sung!! Can't wait for his drama comeback!!!!
Su Ae and Lee Jiah look awesome there!
Cha Seung Won and Choi Si Won! Win-win~
And the other guy also, FTW!

I didn't watch IRIS because the cast didnt attract me as much as this. Gonna give Athena a try!

yohooo!!! excited to see Lee Ji Ah!! show them what you got,girl!!!

siwon is so cool and natural there. No wonder sm is favoring him than yunho, in terms of acting potential.

And of course everyone has their finger on the trigger. When almost every man spends two years in the military, you think this would result in the proper usage of firearms in films and television. But no, it never does. In Japan they usually don't make mistakes like that, and how many people there have experience with guns?

And what is up with Choi Si-won's slide being pulled back like that?

The cast is pretty much filled with people I enjoy so I'll probably watch this and

Choi Siwon in that suit, omg, delicious!

OF COURSE!!!!! I really, really, really AGREE you to Sumee and Wee --- I really didn't watch this drama "IRIS" because these cast were, like, not really attract me like that, mm!

(SCREAMS) EEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS HOT DRAMA "ATHENA", YAYAYAYAY!!!!!! I LOVE ALL OF CASTS (who looks so bad image, fierce, cool, hot from this pictures) who is very.....
.....IMPRESSIVE!!!!! =) =) ( I love Su Ae, Cha Seung Won, Choi Siwon, etc....)

ROCKS!!!

It's funny how these pics shadow to 007 Bond. The nice suits, the powerful artilleries, and Bond girls.

Maybe I shall start watching Iris. o , 0

I'm so looking forward to this series. It's been so long since any recent kdrama is worth watching. I'm hoping the story is going to be believable and current. Good luck to all of them.

I am surprised that captions described Kim Min-jong's image as gentle. He was really great as a despicable bad guy in A Man Called God.

thanx JB i will looking forward this drama!
i agree with u JB ,Jung woo sung in the top pic is like James Bond in a K-spy drama especially with the bowtie hehe
OMG Choi si won, he is relly really mature with that clothes and look different than his Suju image.
And for Lee Ji Ah i do hope her character in Athena can give more praise like she did before with The Legend
Su Ae i love her in her previous drama (i forgot the title) when her hair is short and it's better than her hair in this pic,horrible hair and makeup!

jung woo sung is enough for me to be drawn in this drama!!!!!:D i so freaking love him!!!!!!:D

@ 90 tokyojesusfist

Very observant about the slide on the pistol being pulled back! My daughter noticed it and said......out of ammo!

They should be more careful about posing for photos! :-)

The only character that catches my eyes is Cha Seung-won. He looks fearsome and intriguing, and is perfect for a dark chracter. So Ae, did she not eat? I always think she's pretty but in this poster she looks like a starving kid trying to be tough. "Kim Min-jong (Return of Iljimae) takes a departure from his gentle image to play a North Korean defector who becomes Jung Woo-sung’s partner:" Have you forgotten that he has shredded the gentle image along ago with "A Man Called God"? An average actor.

I really enjoyed Iris and thought it was a great drama. Looking forward to this sequel.
