Sometime in the near future, the Korean peninsula attempts to reunify. The South Korean government, which needs enormous funds for the unification to succeed, develops a landmark new technology called the TWR. The TWR is a high speed nuclear reactor and other countries want the technology.
To prevent terror in the aftermath of the TWR breakthrough, the government establishes a new organization named NTS (National Anti-Terror Service). Jung-Woo (Jung Woo-Sung) is transferred to the NTS group from the NIS. He's excited about the transfer and hopes to live the life of a real agent, but then discovers his main responsibility is to watch North Korean defectors.

I had a lot of great moments with Athena, but unfortunately also a few boring ones. It drags quite a bit in places, the endings of the episodes are not suspenseful enough to make you want to see the next one immediately. Some people praise the fact that there was less romance, I would have liked more of it. Then maybe it would have gotten a stronger story and the action aspect would suddenly have become more meaningful. The cast is fantastic though. I really fell in love with Seung-won Cha here, and I'm convinced of Soo-ae's qualities once again. Woo-seong Jeong shone everywhere else a little more than he does here, but that would be because it wasn't a role "for him". I was also pleased with the rest of the supporting cast. Of these, I must mention So-yeon Kim as our beloved Kim Sun Hwa and Choi Si-won, who moved me more than once. Comparisons to IRIS have been offered, but I can't compare it. The entire time I was watching IRIS I was living it. Athena "just" made my evenings more enjoyable. That makes it sound like I didn't like it, but that's not true at all. IRIS just set the bar awfully high, and for that alone I can't give Athena full marks. I also have to mention the very good music. 4 stars.
