Athena: Goddess of War really is this undead zombie that won’t leave my consciousness. After seeing all the main leads move on to other more sane drama projects since they did Athena, most of the cast and crew reunited this week in Saitama, Japan for a press conference to promote the Japanese release of the Athena DVD. I love Jung … Continue reading →
Going into this year end review, I wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic as I was last year. I can’t pinpoint why, other than perhaps I simply wrote so much I wore myself out. All my drama writing in the 365 days since the 2010 year end review did make my fingers consider going on strike. My brain wasn’t that far behind … Continue reading →
My most anticipated drama of 2010 turned out to also be the biggest disappointment of the year for me. It wasn’t the worst drama of 2010, but it was definitely the biggest waste of talent all around. No, I’m not talking about Secret Garden, which by the way I loved from the outset and continued to have elements that entranced … Continue reading →
Update: Jung Woo Sung and co-star Jung Chan Woo have both been discharged from the hospital after suffering an on-set injury while filming an action sequence in Athena: Goddess of War. Producers have clarified that initial news reports that listed both actors as seriously injured were in fact incorrect, though both did require emergency medical assistance. Jung Woo Sung suffered … Continue reading →
Breaking news: Jung Woo Sung was seriously injured on the set of Athena: Goddess of War, along with another co-star, and both were rushed to the emergency room. The van they were riding in while shooting an action sequence was involved in an accident, and my I Lub You suffered an injury to the leg while the other co-star Jung … Continue reading →
I’ve watched both episode 1 and 2 of Athena: Goddess of War. I was so distracted by a multitude of work and holiday stressors swirling around me that episode 1 pretty much went over my head. I was bored. Watching Jung Woo Sung! This is not acceptable. Episode 2 was slightly better, but only because they paraded my honey around … Continue reading →
This is the second MV off the Athena OST, and it’s also called I Love You (the first being Park Hyo Shin‘s song with the same name that was released back in August). They really are going to pound this into the ground, aren’t they? I relented and watched this MV, but have been avoiding all the extended trailers for … Continue reading →
SBS posted a boatload of drama information about its upcoming Mon-Tues drama Athena: Goddess of War. All of these are taken directly from the SBS Athena website. It’s quite lengthy, and give away the plot set-up and character details, so don’t read if you don’t want to be mildly spoiled. I’ve also provided the latest trailers for Athena – the … Continue reading →
The cast of the upcoming Athena: Goddess of War held its press conference today at the Seoul Walker Hotel. It’s a little early since the drama doesn’t premiere for another two weeks (following the end of Giant on Mon-Tues on SBS), thus I was a little take off guard. But then my Jung Woo Sung radar pinged, and I immediately … Continue reading →
Who has a defibrilator? Sized for a Koala? I think my heart just stopped. I’m sorry, I love too many awesome actors to count, but the sexiest cast of the year award I hereby bestow on Athena: Goddess of War. I mean, the double whammy of Jung Woo Sung and Cha Seung Won is enough to induce seizures in me … Continue reading →
*THUNK* That is the sound of my chin hitting the floor. Someone bring me a spatula to scoop it back up. Oh god, cute fluffy little Mary doesn’t stand a chance against this behemoth once Giant ends. Ladies and Gents, behold the first official teaser trailer for episode 1 of Athena: Goddess of War.
Continue reading →Oh thank god! Athena released a few stills where its currrently filming in Hawaii, which presumably only involves Cha Seung Won and Su Ae based on the stills. I let out a huge sigh of relief – it’s so good to see my sexy ahjusshi Cha Seung Won back on his feet after a prolonged bout of illness. Not to … Continue reading →
This week I’ve been playing two K-drama OST songs interchangeably, setting the mood for my writing and chilling. Baek Ji Young‘s Do Not Forget from the IRIS OST, and Park Hyo Shin‘s I Love You (yeah, not the most creative title ever, I know) from the upcoming Athena: Goddess of War OST.
