The most anticipated action-spy Korean drama 2010 ‘Athena: Goddess of War’ (IRIS Spin-off) is currently taking its first overseas shoots in Italy. And here are the stills which were taken from the drama’s action scenes of its four lead actors, following the ‘character cut’ photos of Jung Woo Sung and Cha Seung Won revealed lately.

The shoots bring the actors to the dazzling cities in northern of Italy including Vicenza, Padua, and Dolomites. I think you will not only be amazed to the actor’s action scene but also to the beautiful scenery which becomes the scene’s background.

As you can see by yourself, these stills show us four lead actors Jung Woo Sung, Soo Ae, Lee Ji Ah, Cha Seung Won, pointing the guns. There is nothing new to see Jung Woo Sung and Cha Seung Won playing in action scene, but to see Soo Ae and Lee Ji Ah playing in action scene and holding the gun, it’s totally fresh for me. It’s like watching the different sides from them who always appear in feminine and chick image.

The shooting will continue to the other overseas countries after the filming in Italy wrapped. ‘Athena’ is schedule to release in November through SBS.

An ahjumma-rock-band Korean drama ‘I am Legend’ has revealed Kim Jung Eun’s in-jail photos. In the photos, Kim looks in aggressive expression, wearing a 200 million won-torn dress with smeared makeup and mussed hair. The picture was taken from the drama’s scene when Kim’s character Seol Hee is imprisoned due to an intense battle at a night club.

As you know, Seol Hee is actually a daughter in-law of high class lawyer family, before she decides to lead a “comeback” rock band. In her in-law position, she always appears in elegant and high class dressed complete with chic accessories. (Like the photo below, before her messed appearance in jail)

Before she ends up herself in jail, she attended a lawyer gathering with her husband. However, somehow she met with her old friend Lee Hwa Ja (played by Hong Ji Min), and went to a night club, where she was involved an intense battle with some drunk fellows, which locks her up a night.

‘I am Legend’ will premiere on August 2nd through SBS.
