Cha Seung-won recovers, returns to Athena
by girlfriday
Well, it’s later than anticipated by the reports when he went in for surgery, but actor Cha Seung-won has recovered and returned to the set of the highly anticipated Athena: Goddess of War. He flew to Hawaii for the third overseas location shoot (after Italy, then Japan) with Su Ae, and will be filming a major storyline with her in Honolulu.
So far the overseas locations at least have separate storylines, which bodes well for justifying their use, anyway. The Italy locations were the fateful meeting between Jung Woo-sung, Cha Seung-won, and Su Ae’s characters. The Japan shoot centers on Jung’s romantic story with Su Ae. (Cha had to be written out of Japan’s shoots due to his health.) Hawaii will focus on an intelligence operation for Cha and Su Ae, with Sean Richards joining them.
Athena premieres in December.

ahhh - good to know that the numerous overseas locations would be used effectively - unlike in IRIS, where it was only overseas for like, the first 6 eps and then korea all the way. i hope these location shots get spread out throughout the series and not jam packed into the first five eps!

I was at the Hawaiian film fest and missed him by one day!!
TOP was supposed to be there instead and I was't as interested in seeing him. Now if I had known that Cha Seung won was going to make a surprise appearance, I would have moved heaven and earth to be there.
He may still be feeling a bit under the weather as he barely smiled at the crowd when he arrived.

Oh, YEAH! Got some pretty good pics of him when he made his appearance at the HIFF. He looked a little subdued, so I hope he's feeling better now. Cha Seung Won Fighting!

i just got back from hawaii this morning and i saw cha seung won from aaafffaaarr at the movie premiere of 'into the fire'. he sounded healthy! sorry i was too far to take a decent picture. he was only there for 5 mins and went into the other theatre to greet the audience. i'm glad he's back in athena. su ae was there for her premiere of the radio movie. it was only the 2 of them in hawaii. siwon didn't show up shirtless, ha ha!!

I saw him at the HIFF showing of Into the Fire as well....I was really close, so I got a good look (CUTE, lol)....he looked skinny, like he'd lost weight recently, but ok. Too bad he was sick so long - hope he's fully recovered!

He is the most favorite actor in this drama. He looks so smart. Normally, I dislike someone who had a moustache. But for him, it made him more interesting than without his moustache.
with love.
