Hiya PVL and ShoutOut!!! What’s up, what’s up…It’s been a long time huh…Well, honestly, i dunno what to expect from Athena because: no 1: it will not be aired in Malaysia since we will only get to see KBS…no 2: I really like Jung Woo shi a lot, hell, i luv him..but to pair him off with Soo Ae?? I don’t think that’s a wise choice. I saw her in Emperor of the Sea, and her character to me was quite boring, she had no expression at all, always sad and moody…But can’t judge her based on 1 character right? Well, let’s just see if Athena is as good as IRIS…no matter what, IRIS still rocks…
P/s: PVL and ShoutOut, I’m currently watching “Robbers” online…It starred Jung Hyuk and Lee Dae Hee…I just love them, they have great chemistry together!!! Man, I tell you, this story got it all, romance, comedy and it made cry a lot!!!…I suggest you watch it…(if you havent)
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:28 pm

ohh Jung Woo Sung..the power of this drama
