Lee Jia added to Athena
by javabeans
Lee Jia has been cast as the other female lead in the IRIS spinoff Athena, alongside the previously cast Jung Woo-sung, Cha Seung-won, and Su Ae. (And… meh.) Well, you can’t win ’em all?
She’ll play a character named Han Jae-hee, who is a special agent in the European office of the National Anti-Terror Service. She is physically tough and level-headed, who will contrast (somewhat) with Su Ae’s cool and calm double agent character.
Honestly, I can’t quite put a finger on why I can’t get fired up about Lee Jia. I’ve tried to like her in all her previous projects — she was pretty good in her debut, Legend, though a little less compelling in Beethoven Virus and downright shrill in Style. I just can’t connect with her and don’t really feel any sincerity from her acting, which prevents me from sympathizing with her characters. And to think, until now I was all excited about Athena. Though I like the men better in Athena than IRIS (as a whole), I think the women are about equivalent. I might even give the edge to IRIS for Kim So-yeon.
Athena will begin shooting in June.

I'm curious. So now you've all seen her in Athena. Anything change? I'm currently watching BV and I've finished Athena. Personally, I do not think she is a disaster as sone of you believe. She provide the quirky Gorky side any enjoyable side. Her multi personality change is rather interesting. In Athena I could agree that she does carry around the same expression for a long time but her role is not exactly to be the compassionate caring girlfriend.
What do you guys think?

Anu ba to nakakahiya yung majority ng mga comments dito ng mga Pinoy.
TAKE NOTE: OPINYON LANG NILA YUN, nababasa ba yan ni Lee Ji Ah mismo? At wala rin kayong tapang i-post yan sa Ingles.
Scratch that. I just saw one and let's just say your command of English is on par with my five year old's brother nursery rhymes. I don't want to see you idiots festering around here either. Quite frankly, you people prove why:
BAKIT ANG BOBO NG MGA PINOY MAKIPAGAWAY most of the time online.
Do you seriously think you can justify your opinion by calling out those people against LJA with shameless name calling and cussing 24/7?
Why don't you think rationally instead? Imbes na pairalin ang kababawan niyo. Ang babaw niyong makipagaway. Walang laman, puro mura lang.
