looks interesting!! but i doesn’t watch IRIS yet…
i thought IRIS was a bad drama…maybe january 2012 i can watch…i have an exam this year…

@naeno: HEY.. WHAT I WANT AND ELF WANT IS THAT JUST DON’T SAY ANY BAD THINGS TO OUR SIWON.. YOU SHOULD RESPECT WHAT WE WANT.. IF YOU DISLIKE SIWON THEN WE LIKE HIM.. WE HAVE OUR OWN LIKES AND DISLIKES..
December 23rd, 2010 at 8:17 am
@naeno and haessy139: stop fighting.. haessy” just understand what naeno said, that’s the way she believes… at naeno” if you dont have some thing to say, just don’t post it.. haessy is right.. we have our own likes and dislike.. for example you like that actor and us we don’t like him, it’s better we don’t say bad things about him.. right???
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:29 pm
@ haessy139: u do not have any right to tell any person to shut up.
The fact, u can not force people around the world like SIWON, u can not stop people to say that they do not like him.
Stop build up story that i say bad thing about him. What is the bad thing u talk about?
Viewers have their right to comment about acting, appearance (beauty, handsome, clothes) of actors, actresses. Viewers have right to say they like or do not like performance of actors.

@ Ms. kpop
As u wrote” we have our own likes and dislike.. “. U say u like, others say they do not like. That is it.
The fact, what u really ask is that viewers either post they like your idol or do not post anything. U can not accept anyone say he/she does not like your idol. Sorry, u can not force anyone to follow your demand.

Look, ratings of Athena go down, what happens??? disappointed????
Ms. kpop: ..we have our own likes and dislike..
haessy139: .. WE HAVE OUR OWN LIKES AND DISLIKES..
Look, 2 nicks have similar words & mistakes. It raises the suspicion that 1 person has 2 different nicks. Ha..ha… People always have different opinions & they are free to say their opinions.

Honestly to say, the reason i started to watch this series is because of the rating and because IRIS 1 was such a great success. 3 leads actors/actress appearances ain’t that eye-pleasing as i expected in this huge series , their looks are very much average (my personal opinion, and please respect that) On the other hand, their acting are quite good. it looks as real as it can get. Especially Soo Ae as Yoon Hye In and her high kick, WOW.. how she shoved that guy back into the elevator with her knee has my applause. IMPRESSIVE, I will continuous to support this series.I rather watch real people with real talent than some pretty face who doesn’t know how to act. keep on fighting … literally FIGHTING, i love those fighting scenes. My two cents are on the 1st episode only. heading to episode two now…

Hello Viewers
Moon Geun Yuong, also known as Korean little sister, who has not disappointed us in her acting as a child actor as well as in her adult acting career. She was great in Painter of The Wind recently as well as Young Eun Suh in Autumn Tale/Autumn in My Heart in the past. Currently, there is competition going on Between MSOAN and PK for the Best Drama of 2010. It is an undeniable true that MGY is a great actress who has real talent; she doesn’t just depend on her look to get famous. These have proven in her past series as well as the current one (MSOAN). I know for sure that MSOAN is far better than PK in both acting skill and the storylines. I am asking for your vote on MSOAN, and if you have any doubt, Please watch both MSOAN and PK and place your vote.
Thanks all and Happy Holidays.

oops! In my eyes, Soo Ae’s acting is not good, not real. She has rooms to improve. Many times, she does not have real emotion, expression in need. “Pokerface” can be accepted in some scenes only. First 2 episodes fall short of expectation.
December 28th, 2010 at 8:25 am
that’s ODD, i thought Soo Ae is great in this drama, specially those fighting scene, it looks as real and very much eye-catching. She might not have the look but that GIRL sure can act.

I watching Athena. SO GOOD DRAMA!
I love IRIS!!! Athena so good too!
Love Athena OST^^
December 29th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
I watch Choi Si Won in drama Oh my lady 2 times. I really enjoy watching it because Siwon acted so well. When he is sad, i am sad for him. When he is worried, i worried for him too. He can bring me into his world about how he feels. That is call good acting. That is my personal opinion.
I still prefer he can act as a lead actor in romance drama in future. Not like in Athena, too many leading guys sharing a drama. ^.^
