FIRST thing first …. Your right guys, first glance the poster is looking too… shiny … that the actors seems to need to take a bath… hmm…

Will this be the main poster or is it just a teaser… even so.. i think the creative /marketing dept should rethink its approach if they really want a real spy/drama series.

Looks to me the poster is kinda “grab and post where ever i like thing” just bcoz they got stars in the photo..

either way i will still support this drama… for choi si won

long live SUJU.

what can i say he is hot! Si won Oppa

“somebody really has to bribe Song Hye Kyo. I’m sure she was offered one of these type of roles. What is she waiting for?”

I have no idea what she’s waiting for. I’m sure she’s been offered plenty of roles ever since Full house made her a household name in Asia, but for some reason has chosen to stay inactive. I don’t even know what she’s doing anymore….apparently shooting Wong Kar-wai’s martial arts epic Grand Master? Is that even gonna happen?

Song Hye Kyo is (was) one of the most popular Korean actresses, but I bet her name hasn’t even been mentioned in this very blog over the past year or so

@Kobe,

“Or in the case of Athena, featuring characters with enough grease to fund their retirement with!”

Hallyu Stars, powered by Ethanol. Think green Chungmuro!!

Can’t like. Can’t help but think that Lee Ji Ah’s going to drop her automatic and get splattered. It just seems like something Lee Ji Ah would do.

If Athena is a hit, and they go onto Iris 3, somebody really has to bribe Song Hye Kyo. I’m sure she was offered one of these type of roles. What is she waiting for?

“Whereas K-drama posters feature men with long black suits and buff skin.”

Or in the case of Athena, featuring characters with enough grease to fund their retirement with!

This drama should have been entitled Guns & Grease instead, with Won Bin as its male lead. Can you imagine an oiled up binnie? rawr!

@Kobe,

“I find a lot of them to be quite beautiful esp. the ones for horror movies”

Perhaps it’s because horror movie posters prominently feature women with long black hair and ivory skin. Whereas K-drama posters feature men with long black suits and buff skin.

I guess at the end of the day everyone’s over-analyzing a bit. I mean, it is after all, just a poster. But have you guys seen posters for Korean movies? I find a lot of them to be quite beautiful esp. the ones for horror movies (yeah strange, beauty & horror), but I cannot recall a k-drama poster which I liked.

@48 soiia: I couldn’t help myself. Your comment was too hilarious for me not to give a much deserved HAHAHA! (What? I don’t ELL-OH-EL.)

Anyways…. still unsure about this one. Couldn’t bring myself to watch IRIS, but I’m an actual fan of some of the cast here. So, a big MAYBE.

I love Choi Si Won! It would be great if it turns out to be a parody of the spy series coz Si Won can do comedy really well.

Soo Ae looks good…I like her and it’ll be interesting to see her in this role epecially since the last time I saw her was on 9 Ends 2 Outs but she’s one fine actress so she’ll do great and am I the only one getting the seductress vibe from her pic?
