Just finished watching Athena. My God! Cha Seung Won is so damn hot, even when he’s playing evil!! I watch this drama just because he was there, since the plot and the chemistry between the lead role aren’t that good (specially Jung Woo and Hye In). The best actor in this drama is Cha Seung Won, he played evil Son Hyuk perfectly. Does he have another drama after this? So want to see.

It’s kind of boring when i watch this drama on ep 1-10
because there are such a waste scenes. I thought the producer want to attract audience with some big star like BoA and that’s not work at all.
I started to like this action drama in ep 11-20. The story line got better and love to watxh the action. I love the leads esp Cha Seung Won n Soo Ae. Siwon’s act was great too. All the characters played their roles great! and what i like the most is this drama has a better ending than Irish.
