To be honest, I don’t really know what “character cut” means, other than giving an excuse to post a new photo of Jung Woo-sung as a spy in a tux. Which is reason enough for me!
Jung plays “Lee Jung-woo,” an agent with the NTS, a counter-terrorist organization. He romances Su Ae and goes on heroic missions like saving the president’s daughter. He’s skilled and sharp and inspires admiration from his juniors, like Choi Siwon. He juggles stylish formal affairs with super-secret ops and icy martinis like Bond, James Bond. Okay, I’m making assumptions on that last one but really, like that’s a stretch.
We’ve already seen the photo/poster below, but it’s part of the “character cut” package, so here we go again. Not that it’s a great burden to have to look at it a second time:

hmm, not sure what character cut is either, both those are some great pics!!
Mmmmmm, that new poster is sexy. I’m so excited for Athena!
i am much of a fan of this actor. I wish Lee Jung Jin was the lead.:( But he looks hot in the first pic.lolz
Wooo, that first poster is to die for. Yum!!
Thanks JB!!
Well Hello!!
For a sec there I had the horrible feeling reading the title that “character cut” meant “bye-bye” – happily it appear that no – it means pics for us to ogle!
YAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYYYY! ^______________^
Me 2 too — I don’t know what it meant about, like, “character cut”…..like, I just don’t care, heh!
Ooooh, I really can’t wait to see this drama soooo exciting! =) =)
I’m such a big fan of Jung Woo Sung. He’s definitely one of the most handsome Asian actors out there…he’s incredible tall and just oozes charisma.
Mine. Thank you, you are my enabler, JB.
Ohbaby, Oh baby!

Vigorously fanning herself, while she heads to the fridge for a cold drink.
Off topic question. How do you say “You are Welcome ” in Korean? I’ve heard people say “Thank You”, but never “You are Welcome” in Korean Dramas. Does anyone know why is that?
Yeah, still here. Still Mine. Still happy as a jumping bean.
I thought he was being “cut”… I almost burst into tears.
OMO JUNG WOO SUNG Oppa… Love him!!!
That first pic is epic. He’s holding a gun and his gaze is direct, which gives him an air of danger, yet his eyes are so warm, melty, and thoughtful… like all he needs is love. Come to me, you little spy, you! I will smooth away all that international intrigue (if you ditch Su Ae, that is…)
I also feared that “character cut” meant that his character was going to bite it in Athena, which would mean that my only reason for watching the show would be beautiful Siwon…which, actually, is reason enough! But I am still glad that Mr. Bond, er, Lee, will live a long long time to bring sufficient hunkiness to us all.
hahaha gotta love your sarcasm Javabeans
Haven’t seen him anything yet (GASP- I know, I’m probably going to regret it when this airs) but even I had a near heart attack for all the JWS gushers in the comments section when I thought he was OUT.
More excited for this than Iris.
“Character cut”?
No clue but I’ll take it!
I’m so excited to see his & Su Ae’s chemistry on screen! I really hope the writers gives the women strong personality and more substance this time. I hated Kim Tae Hee’s character mainly because I felt she was wrong casted. I wouldn’t have minded if she and Kim So Yeon switched characters instead even though I loved her as Sun Hwa.
i really thought JWS quit the production. Almost went O__O to T__T
Haha. Yeah, any excuse to post JWS is a good one.
I’m getting to excited for this drama. I’m really wishing for autumn to come sooner and I do love summer a lot.
Hmmm … really hope Athena won’t disappoint us.
I almost had an attack when I read your headline. I thought his character was being cut. hahahaha
So glad to hear that is not the case. With such a stellar cast, the anticipation and expectations are going to be huge.
Quite looking forward to the drama.
Thank you.
Yikes! Those smoochin’ lips are hidden from my view. Sigh! I can stare at him all day.
The title certainly got me interested.
Character’s Cuts? Is it the opposite of Director’s Cut? Perhaps they are the photos/moments which the character has chosen for us and in this case is Jung Woo Sung?
Owh well. Doesn’t want to care about the meaning and just want to purely enjoy the pics. LOL
“Not that it’s a great burden to have to look at it a second time”. Ha Ha. Well said
Any news or excused news came out of ATHENA is fine with me
. How I wish they give us something every week till the premier.
…hope it’s at least at par with IRIS…looking forward to watch ATHENA because the ensemble cast are all pretty good actors individually!!!
Am I the only one who thought “He’s wearing a bow tie! Bow ties are cool!”?
Anyone?
*grabs coat in silence and goes away*
haha i totally thought ‘character cut’ meant his character had been cut as well! and i thought to myself ‘but….isn’t he one of the MAIN characters??’ glad that i read this wrong!
thanks for the morning wake-up JB… much appreciated.
Ah.. I can’t wait. I’ve missed him so much!!
I don’t mind the lame promo name. Give me more JWS!
i was in love with him from Moment to Remember! Hunkagorgeous Yuuuum!

“Bow ties are cool” – been watching Dr. Who have you? If not, you must watch the latest season to know why that line is cracking me up like crazy.
“He juggles stylish formal affairs with super-secret ops and icy martinis like Bond, James Bond. ”
LOL loved this…
Usually they call the press images “still cut” or something, a combination of photo still & snapshot–> cut? i’m guessing here
“character cut” is about each individual character. so…i tried
Omg yes I can’t wait for this.
♥ Team Jung Woo-sung since 2002.
It’s too early to decide, but just from reading this character cut, “Lee Jung Woo” sounds like quite the cliched action hero character. We’ll see how Jung Woo Sung digests his role.
