dangermousieMan, dramabeans website started the hate engine for Athena really early. It's close to half a year before it premiers but the post and comments to that post on Kim Hyun Joong being offered (presumably a small but high-profile role a la TOP in IRIS) a role in Athena are something else. All the people going "OMG horrible I won't watch!" have fun with your imaginary high ground!
KHJ is a mediocre actor to say the least but honestly - staying away from a 20+ ep drama full of otherwise presumably appealing to you stars and interesting storyline (because all those posts are, I would have watched but for HJ...) because a guy you may not like has a small role? *rolls eyes*
Plus, I am pretty sure his role would be similar in scope to TOP's (you know, another boybander who never acted before. Only it's cool to like him, unlike with KHJ). I don't think TOP can act much at all (IMO KHJ is acting genius compared to him) but IRIS and his role was written in such a way that it wasn't an issue what with his being a rarely-shown mysterious emotionless assassin and all.
The way they are all calling for their fainting couch, you'd think KHJ was cast as Jung Woo Sung's love interest (now, there's an idea...)
