Forever you are mine, a flower for a special love.
Did you know? This black rose represents vengeance?
Love and vengeance,
Surrounded by the organization's conspiracy and betrayal,
[Love and vengeance! Conspiracy and betrayal!]
bringing explosive action. It has become a show that's gathering viewers,
bringing glamorous action. Athena: the Goddess of War
As grand as the scheme, inside there are some unsolved mysteries.
The secrets behind the action and the story hidden in the romantic love scene.
Athena Special "The unsolved secrets."
We now begin.
Hello. I'm playing in Athena the role of Yoon Hae In. I'm Soo Ae.
It seems Athena has passed midstory and entering its final stages.
A drama with secrets and covered in a veil,
I, too, film day by day with anticipation.
Particularly in the drama wherein Hae In is involved in so many secrets and plots...
I'm also curious as to how Hae In will approach her love and vengeance.
Today, we will solve your curiosity as well as mine.
I will tell you a secret that has not yet been solved.
Overflowing with more interest than the drama Athena,
let's now go to "Athena Special: Unsolved Secrets."
Athena: The Goddess of War - The Secrets of Athena
Hello. I'm Yoon Hae In.
My name is Yoon Hae In.
Honestly, I have so many different faces
that even me, my character, doesn't know how many she has.
There I am freely throwing a knee kick.
It seems like there's no problem with me in a skirt.
You said you're curious about my identity that comes out
whenever I'm in a dangerous situation?
Well then, we will now answer each secret one by one.
I heard there were special agents that take on special assignments,
and moving as solo operatives within the agency. Are you a black agent?
Yoon Hae In's identity?
A secret spy for a dark organization Athena, that's threatening world peace.
- [If you were to express Hae In's character?] - In between passionate and cold hearted.
Holding onto a passionate heart hot like a volcano...
their actions would be according to their emotions and judgment.
So because of that, I believe it's somewhere in between that.
From a young age, to be more precise at the age of 9, she lost her parents from the L.A. riot.
And she's a character that has been brought up by Song Hyuk.
So due to that aspect, she became a subject that knew nothing of love.
This point is something that was most unfortunate.
This character was brought up not knowing love,
but through Jung Woo she was learning love.
And in all that, the relation with Son Hyuk...
well... the burning heart to live... It was hotter than anyone else,
and that's how all of Athena's missions were carried out,
and that's how it was possible to become part of Athena.
As her ranking officer in Athena and her partner... Son Hyuk...
A man that she kept a long tie with and is someone important to her.
Make sure you catch their attention.
In order to go deep into NTS more than anything,
you need to get Director Kwon's trust.
This man that sets out a scary charismatic vibe,
but to Hae In, she sees a lonely man.
For strength and power.
There's one other person besides me.
That person...
is here...
deep inside next to my heart.
One day, even love found its way
to a cold-blooded killer like her. [Yoon Hae In finds LOVE]
Are you okay?
Even as we speak I'm receiving undeserving overflowing love.
She doesn't want to hurt anyone. She doesn't want to play with it.
She wants to be smart about it,
but regardless of what she wants...
it looks like the two of them are being tormented.
That's why I truly wish for a happy ending,
where no one gets hurt.
I don't think all this connects or makes sense.
Only in dreams do kisses like this is possible.
Excuse me, you can't sleep here.
If coincidence repeats... it becomes destiny.
How is it possible for us to meet like this again?
Isn't this some kind of grand destiny?
- For our destiny I... - I'm sorry...
I'm grateful for last time but you're making it difficult.
When I start shooting. Run for it.
Two people who faced each other; set on the same target, but with different agendas.
[Killer instinct, Yoon Hae In's weak point?]
I think it's love.
What Hae In needed the most was love.
Going through some type of transformation... Love...
The love of parents...
The love between a man and woman.
With love, seeing the world with a different aspect...
Hae In's heart was splitting paths.
And because of that, Hae In forgot the essence of humanity.
Something she didn't know, I think that's how...
...she's trying to find her way.
And because of that, I believe Hae In's greatest fault is love.
[Hae In penetrates NTS as a field agent and meets Jung Woo once again. ]
In order to seduce Jung Woo, Hae In goes undercover as an agent.
Hello. I'm Yoon Hae In.
I was nervous and tense because I'm in an unfamiliar place.
I think it's very propitious you're here.
Contact Hae In.
Will the tension disappear?
In the process of getting classified data, Hae In makes a significant mistake.
[Hae In was caught accessing NTS's top secret information and ends up killing an NTS agent. ]
Right now all the evidence points to Hae In.
Don't jump into conclusions.
I know you have special feelings for Hae In.
Because of your personal feelings, you can't even make basic judgment calls.
Jung Woo's past love, Jae Hee.
Her love was not over and could possibly make her more suspicious of Hae In.
If you want to continue meeting Jae Hee, there's one condition.
Leave the agency.
More than anything else, I want Jae Hee to live happily.
How's your injury?
It only grazed me.
- I'm sure it'll heal up quickly. - Still, take care of it.
There shouldn't be any scars on a woman's body.
Scars like this aren't even considered scars anymore.
My biggest scar...
is right here.
I can't indiscriminately doubt a comrade.
Jung Woo believed Hae In until the end.
I know it's unwise for someone in our line of work to fall in love.
[ Jung Woo is confessing his love to Hae In]
But you've already found your way into my heart
and I don't want to just let you leave.
I think of Son Hyuk as having an unrequited love.
[The two men who are surrounding Hae In... ]
A person who granted me so much love,
that's the connection with Son Hyuk.
Then, with Jung Woo...
As shown in the drama, the relationship with him is like love at first sight.
And I believe...
he understands my true identity the most.
Because of that he takes care of me a lot.
And you can see him trying to give as much unconditional love as he can.
With Son Hyuk's relationship, it's compassion.
It's a relationship that you hide,
so it's something you can't call love
and that's what hurts the most.
And with Jung Woo, he's a person she wants to plan a future with...
future dreams and love.
So, in other words if the past was Son Hyuk,
the future is Hae In being together with Jung Woo.
And that's why she's being so cruel to Son Hyuk.
Happy Birthday!
The warmth of his love slowly began melting away Hae In's frozen heart.
Because I'm grateful.
I'm crying because I'm truly grateful.
But it is not the time to let your guard down.
Hae In's mission is to recover the core technology for the new nuclear energy research...
and to locate Dr. Kim Myung Guk.
In order for Hae In to accomplish her mission, she deceives Jung Woo, the man she loves.
Okay, Okay. Just let her go and then let's talk.
Let her go.
Release her now. Right now.
While trying to protect Hae In,
Jung Woo sees Dr. Kim Myung Guk die, right before his eyes.
[The shoot out so as to protect both Hae In and the SNC! But... the death of Dr. Kim Myung Guk!]
If you think blackmailing him is no longer going to work, kill him.
We will have to move to the next phase.
Dr. Kim.
We have to take care of anything that gets in the way of our plans.
The first target will be...
[What's Hae In's next mission?] "Kill Lee Jung Woo"
Lee Jung Woo.
But this time, it seems Hae In doesn't want to follow Son Hyuk's orders.
Even though it's scary and horrifying?
I can accept anything.
Jung Woo always looks at Hae In with a bright smile...
without knowing her true identity.
This moment, Hae In wants to be his woman.
Does Son Hyuk know what's in her heart?
[Both having different emotions... Jae Hee and Son Hyuk spent one night]
Happiness only being brief...
You're doubting me? What about the investigation results?
Athena...
[Son Hyuk's involvement with Athena is now to be revealed]
What awaits Hae In in Seoul is Athena's identity on the verge of being discovered.
It seems you've grown fond of Lee Jung Woo.
It's not like that.
Call Lee Jung Woo right now,
and tell him to meet you at the plaza intersection by noon.
As the time for her to choose approaches...
having a long relationship with Son Hyuk...
Jung Woo... a love she can't reject...
Which direction is Hae In's heart facing?
And what will Hae In's true fight be?
I think it's just the beginning.
Hae In took drastic actions...
as shown in yesterday's episode.
And because of those actions, what they really felt in their hearts...
I think, was somehow communicated.
So from now on, I hope to try and salvage the relationship with Jung Woo.
[If Jung Woo were to go back to Jae Hee?]
I'm sure if it was Hae In, she let him go coolly.
But me as Soo Ae, I think I'll do something so he'll never forget.
[Athena: The Goddess of War - The Secrets of Action]
Blockbuster intelligence operations...
Action... Melodrama... ATHENA
The best description of Athena is,
ACTION
We will go to the site where the drama's action scenes were taken.
And we will reveal all the hidden secrets.
I was amazed by Soo Ae's technique when she did the cobra twist.
The fight scene that Cha Seung Won and Choo Sung Hoon did.
Selected by Athena's cast. The top 5 best action scenes:
The episode with a special appearance by Choo Sung Hoon.
They were able to exceed the action of a realistic fight.
He's really well built, since he's a in real life.
[Q: How did it feel shooting an action scene with an actual fighter like Choo Sung Hoon?]
When we were filming that scene, it took us 26 hours without any breaks.
He did a good job, but unlike actors who film action scenes
he had a different perspective.
Since he's a fighter who fights on the ring,
he's not someone...
who will move with calculated coordination. He uses his instincts not calculations.
So it was physically very strenuous but...
after it was all over and we were viewing it on the monitor,
I think it looked more live and realistic...
because we didn't calculate or coordinate the fights.
The movements of an actual fighter using his natural instincts
allowed the two actors to smoothly synchronize their moves.
Though in a confined area, the overflowing action and powerful suspense
captured the attention of the audience.
As time passes, the action between the two men was getting more violent.
[The tension was a hundred fold than before. And the level of action was getting higher]
It was to the point the staff had to hold their breath as they watched the two actors in action.
We'll flip it right away.
- Good work. - Thank you. Good work.
We'll go onto the next scene.
One go shot. One more shot... OOh~ One shot, go. One shot.
From my point of view, Choo Sung Hoon is a man with power more than speed.
Usually, when you see a guy you say, "Wow! He's fast!"
but instead, it's more like to the point where you'd think, "Wow! if ever I get hit by that..."
He's a person who has many features. He may feel very blunt...
but he has overpowering looks, physical structure, and fist.
And with that in mind I'd always tell Choo Sung Hoon,
Since this is just an act...
[Be easy~ it's just an act!]
Since this is just an act...
how would you put it...
I hope we're not too into the act...
[Please~ don't go to deep into the act!]
If we're too much into the act, there could be a big accident.
So, if possible, just think of it as a playtime...
and in close range, don't swing your fists.
And after every take, I would remind him it's just an act.
Especially, since we're so close to each other.
Regardless, it turned out truly too violent.
[Despite that, it became a really rough playtime-action scene]
The two men showed some real action even 26 hours later.
It seems they don't know how to get exhausted.
[But]
[Hey~hey hey~]
What was more impressive was Cha Seung Won's arm bar.
That arm bar is not something anyone can do.
The reason why is the position I was in.
I weigh about 77kg (170lbs.) Lifting 77kg in that position is almost impossible.
But it was possible for him because he's so strong and so determined.
When everyone thought Choo Sung Hoon was dead,
and his reappearance for round 2 was previewed,
it shook the viewers hearts.
Of course, coming back alive everyone thinks there's going to be another fight with me
but there's going to be a different turn of events.
And since there is going to be a twist, please stay tuned.
So you're saying you don't ever want to meet him in those conditions?
[Firmly, Not in the restroom!]
First in a restroom, something needs to break.
If something breaks, water leaks. And if water leaks, it gets cold. That's why.
[Selected by Athena's cast as the Best action scene - #4]
Unable to take your eyes off Athena's Best action #4: Soo Ae's keenness to the axe.
You know how Yoon Hae In throws the axe and kills someone.
You think men like that? Throwing an axe at you, firing an automatic weapon,
doing knee kicks, twisting necks, and breaking bones.
Speaking of which, Jung Woo saw a different side of Yoon Hae In,
and that's what made it possible for him to like her.
If it was me and a woman killed someone throwing an axe,
I don't think I would be attracted to her.
She adds more excitement to the action scene as each episode progresses,
that even the male actors would find difficult.
Neck crank is basic.
Being under fire is an option.
This is the first time in my life I've seen a innocent looking special agent like this one.
Here. Here. Over here, place the explosives.
[Q: Aren't the action scenes hard?] What? It's very hectic.
It seems like everyone's having fun but it's a little scary.
But despite her innocent looks, Soo Ae shows a shocking action scene,
with a blank face and charisma as she takes down terrorists in one shot.
[Shocking Charisma taking down the terrorist!]
The more you go through it, Yoon Hae In shines with a scary attraction.
That's it. Now the guy behind you.
Since this is my first official role in an action scene,
[Q: How do you feel after a wild action role?] I was nervous at first.
And as you can see, we used native people.
We didn't use our staff, so I was more careful.
I only thought it was going to be fun.
But unlike my thoughts it was a bit dangerous and scary.
What do you think? Did it come out alright?
It's different from when you're watching.
Watching it is different from actually doing the action.
I thought it was going to be easy but it was difficult.
Well, during filming you were constantly able to view the monitors.
So what are your thoughts on that?
I was constantly getting greedy.
I wanted to do better and you think you can do better.
I felt supported because everyone was telling me I did a good job, being my first time.
Well, when I was holding the axe,
[Q: What were you thinking when you did the blank-expression action role?]
without realizing it my expression turned cold.
But when I held a gun and pulled the trigger my eyes kept closing.
But in those instances, I wanted to keep my eyes wide open.
Instead of imagining something based on that scene especially an action scene.
For emotional scenes, you can evoke some past, hard times.
But in an action scene you can't rely on anything.
When I was holding the axe, I was able to discover another side of myself.
A cold-hearted side.
And the image or vibe you get from the character of Hae In is...
a character that doesn't really act according to her feelings.
[Picked by Athena's cast as the Best action scene - #3]
Ji Ah's powerful action scene they called the cobra twist.
With charisma, precision and overflowing action,
Ji Ah showed off her stunning looks and sharp actions.
There was a move Jae Hee noona did. Sasha and Jae Hee were fighting in the basement,
[Q: The most memorable action scene?]
and she turned around and did a cobra twist.
When I saw that, it blew my mind. Then as soon as i saw it,
I sent her a text right away. I wrote, "Noona, that was a big hit".
It was a moving and awesome move I want to try myself.
[Han Jae Hee, The icon of action charisma]
[Lee Ji Ah as Han Jae Hee]
Firstly, there was my effort and for some reason
I was getting greedy on the action scene.
So when I hear the word action, I zone out.
So I won't think of the danger or the possibility of getting injured.
I know I focus too much on the part,
but I throw myself to that situation
wondering what I can do to make it better.
So there was this one part where a stunt woman was supposed to take the part.
There was a scene where I fight with Sasha.
I'm on the ground and when he kicks I dodge the kick from beneath,
and twist my legs to counterattack to take him down.
At first the martial arts director showed me and I said,
"I can't do that. Someone's going to do it for me, right?"
A stuntwoman came prepared. She had the same hair as me and dressed like me.
But when I heard the word 'Action' I just did it.
So... It seems like I'm just bragging about myself...
Anyways, at that point the stunt person who came,
the staff that were helping, and the director were just in awe.
They didn't compliment me but they were just shocked in awe.
And so was I.
Not being professional action actors,
only practice after practice is the hidden secret behind Athena's actor's action.
It's a scene where I have to beat up a couple of mafias.
But at that moment...
the other actor gets a minor injury in the process.
- Oh no... are you okay? Oh no. - I'm okay.
- Oh my... - Is there any tissue? Tissue.
We have tissue.
Oh, no.
It's okay.
Thank you.
[The painful road of action. The danger of injury is ever present. ]
I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me.
The most important thing in action is...
- I'm scared. - Hey, hey, hey!
It's a relief my nose didn't break.
Again. Again... one
It was the cast with burning passion who didn't hold back, unafraid of injury or getting hurt.
- Who gave the strength Athena now holds? - I don't know.
There shouldn't be any injuries.
More than myself I'm concerned they might get hurt.
Be it day or night, action after action continues.
Cut!
Utterly exhausted Ji Ah.
No. It's not turning out the way I expected.
Shall we go again?
Action!
But until she is satisfied, Ji Ah is performing hundreds of action kicks.
- We'll go one more time. - One more time.
[The kicks continue until the okay sign is given. ]
High level of action was performed that evening and throughout the night.
I practiced really hard. I even practiced at home.
I hope the time for me to shine comes.
[We applaud the passion of the actors of Athena: The Goddess of War. ]
My body was a wreck when I came to my senses.
[Q: Did you know you were going to be good with action roles?]
I didn't realize I had instincts for actions. I didn't know but,
when we were filming Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi, they said my eyes were sparkling
when they were taking the action scenes.
I think I enjoy it and I think I get greedy for it.
[Selected by Athena's cast as the Best action scene -#2]
Revealing glamorous views #2
Jung Woo Sung's action scene in a convertible.
An envious scene when viewed by other actors. It was Jung Woo's action scene.
Wearing a tuxedo, even just that.
- What about holding the two guns? - That looks so cool.
Jung Woo who stands in the center of Athena's action...
At every episode grand and over flowing with danger,
he showed his action with overflowing thrill.
He's so committed to his passion.
It's to the point, as a junior actor, you have something to learn from him.
That's how great he is.
It's to the point you would worship him.
If there is one thing I would like to point out...
He doesn't care about what happens to his body, so I wish he would think of his health.
It's because he's so great.
He didn't mention it on air, about the scene in Italy. I'll tell you what happened.
It's what most of the viewers consider one of the highlights of the shoot in Italy.
It was during a pursuit where he breaks through the glass,
and lands as he rolls, then getting up pulling out his gun and fires his weapon.
But when that scene was taken he injured his right or left side.
But the thing is, after he finished that scene...
Again now in a car, but the viewers wouldn't have known
because in the drama it was in a much later scene.
Even though he was in pain he was running and doing his role,
but he didn't show any sign that he was in pain.
And when I saw that my heart was just moved.
Shooting the guns with style. Let's do this part tomorrow.
It was due to lack of caution. I should've prepared beforehand.
[Due to his shoes, he injured his leg]
It felt like there was something wrong with my shoes.
And with that feeling, when we did a test run, right away I got injured.
Anyway, I hope it gets better quickly.
There's a lot of action. It's an action drama.
There were lots of single-car action scenes for Jung Woo.
It was a superb performance assimilating his role as a secret agent.
- One? Two? - It's one.
What's it like shooting a gun?
You don't get that kind of opportunity. It's very exciting.
It's so much fun. I want to keep shooting this scene.
Lee Jung Woo's active performance opened a new page toward glamorous action.
We look forward to what's to come.
The long awaited Number 1 Best Action Scene selected by Athena's cast is...
It was Soo Ae noona's knee kick.
I didn't know that was called the knee kick until then.
How can that be called the knee kick?
Oh, knee kick in this? As in knee?
If you're going to correct me, come in here.
Oh, knee kick.
So for a while, it was quite the topic of conversation.
Knee Kick.
Yoon Hae In's Knee Kick!
[Unanimously voted Hae In's Knee Kick!]
The same knee kick as performed by martial artists was shown clearly by her.
And even earned the nickname of "Knee Kick Soo Ae".
Knee Kick Soo Ae? [Q: What is your favorite nickname?]
It was a nickname that I never expected.
And during the shoot, I felt that I had hidden instincts.
When I was first cast as Yoon Hae In for Athena,
I felt at a loss as to how to develop this character.
I was nervous and excited but I also felt scared.
I wondered if I could carry this out, not using a stand-in.
I wanted to do it and I felt the passion for it, but the body has to cooperate.
I do think action is a little different than acting.
So in that sense, I was a little worried.
But in the first episode,
with that knee kick, I think it made an impression on the viewers.
So I wonder if that isn't the reason I was favorably received.
If that wasn't why Yoon Hae In was accepted easier.
And that's why I like Knee Kick Soo Ae the best.
Before Knee Kick Soo Ae was born, there's repeated practice of actions moves.
From this position, you need to twist around to be able to kick.
[The hardship of flying then hitting the opponent with the knee]
It wasn't an easy scene to shoot, taking a flying leap then kicking the opponent.
But with practice, her knee kick became stable. [Putting all force to the knee~ Slam!]
Right here.
It's from the 2nd time I was hit. [From retakes, chest is red from the hit]
[Q: The difficulties of shooting that scene?]
At that moment, I felt like an airplane. My head almost touched the ceiling,
and I found myself jumping really high.
Shooting that scene, I had to fly up after jumping on the trampoline.
So I practiced before the shoot.
But I sprained my ankle and it seemed that scene might not be possible.
We looked for other ways to shoot the scene, perhaps using the hands.
We didn't think a knee kick would be possible.
But I received acupuncture right away and had it bandaged up to do that shoot.
More than the pain, I was more preoccupied.
When the scene turned out to be as we had hoped for,
the satisfaction I felt was great.
The satisfaction was great and that I didn't look like myself.
Through the action?
Yes, through the action.
It was a scene that I could never have imagined possible for me.
Even now, I feel really happy about it.
Action!
This is how Knee Kick Soo Ae was born.
Oh, my.
You looked great.
Do you think it turned out good?
Action!
She gave her all to the action moves,
which helped depict the ruthless and cold-blooded double spy role of Yoon Hae In.
I was very greedy about the action scenes.
In interviews before, [Q: Concern over image change. ]
I stated that I wanted to do action projects.
And in a drama I did before that, I said I wanted to try being on wires.
I made that request a lot,
but through Athena, I was able to achieve my dreams and my hopes.
So I feel good about it.
I'm not really concerned but I think I need to take these steps as an actor.
Being told you're elegant is something I'm grateful and thankful for.
But as an actress... the need to show a variety of characters, it sets a limit.
Shall I say limitations? I think it limits us as actors.
I want to help break out of them and have broader opportunities.
I'm not saying I want to do it myself. I have a lot to feel grateful for,
but a little more.
What really defined me in this was...
as discussed earlier "Knee Kick Soo Ae"
"Hot Soo Ae" "Axe Soo Ae"
There were many different facets I showed.
The different sides of me I couldn't show before.
But through this, I was able to show those possibilities.
We're now in the latter episodes of the drama,
but I feel there are still more scenes to show you.
The great scenes that kept your eyes glued to the screen!
Please continue to have high expectations. [Action Scenes of Athena, Expect More!]
[Find the conspiracies surrounding Athena!]
He's a genius scientist who worked on nuclear energy and weapons.
We must execute an immediate plan to save him.
I'm here from South Korea to escort you.
The first conspiracy of Athena - Is Dr. Kim still alive?
He is Eochugooni*. (*What is Dr. Kim Myung Guk to Son Hyuk?)
You know what that is, right? *The handle of the grinding stone.
Something that is needed.
Yes, that's what he is.
But I didn't know he would last this long, that Kim Myung Guk.
Of all the characters, his name is mentioned the most.
He is wanted by the most number of people.
And he held the key to most incidents. It's who he was.
The center of all the conflicts between Athena and NTS,
North Korea's Nuclear Physicist, Dr. Kim Myung Guk.
Pardon?
Dr. Kim Myung Guk?
He's still alive?
If he were still alive, wouldn't he become even more pitiful?
I felt sorry for him the most, in all honesty.
He only had one outfit.
If you look carefully, he did have a coat.
He had a coat for when he was outside.
But indoors, it was always that white dress shirt.
He was kidnapped so often and dragged around so much.
Yes, he was the most pitiful person.
There were dozens of lives sacrificed for that one person.
A person worthy of that kind of sacrifice wouldn't have died so easily.
There is the unbelievable rumor that Dr. Kim Myung Guk faked his death,
and is somewhere, watching Athena and NTS.
Who is he?
Just who is he to cause all these people to die and be beaten?
Even the President,
and everyone who is in Athena said his name at least once.
I mean it was to that point.
Director Kim Myung Guk is alive, Mr. President.
Could he still be alive, as the rumor says?
The second conspiracy of Athena - Han Jae Hee dies?
I'm sure Lee Ji Ah noona will never die.
Why not? She's tough. She won't die.
To kill her, you'll need 5 troops of Athena.
Jung Woo.
The icon of a female warrior of Athena: NTS's Ace, Han Jae Hee.
She doesn't spare her body or abilities for assigned missions all over the world.
- But despite that, she had a weakness. - It's not that easy.
I didn't back you up all this time so that you can do easy tasks!
When she found out her father, a high official of NTS, is member of Athena,
she has to deal with the disastrous aftermath.
It is deemed by many that her father's karma will have her face a cruel end herself.
[Father's karma to bring death to Han Jae Hee?]
I think she'll die in episode 20.
She is the star.
Yes, the star always dies in episode 20.
She will definitely not die in episode 15.
If she did, she wouldn't be the star.
I'm sure it's in episode 20. The reason is, there are no more ways for her to escape.
Han Jae Hee, I mean.
And she'll want to take revenge on Son Hyuk,
so she'll definitely track him down.
But there's something Son Hyuk has to do.
To get the final mission accomplished,
everything that will hinder it must be removed.
Lee Jung Woo will be a part of that.
As will be Kwon Yong Gwan.
I'm not too sure about Kim Ki Soo.
I don't know if I'll be seeing Kim Ki Soo again.
[Han Jae Hee dies?]
I hope I won't.
Above all else,
Jae Hee loves a man but that love is not returned.
It's really hard for her.
If she had to die, that'll be so painful.
So, I hope I won't die.
How far does it go, you bastard!
The third conspiracy of Athena - Is Kim Ki Soo the true star of Athena?
Oh, is that so?
In all the important scenes, like the one in Italy, he showed up unexpectedly.
He did the same in Japan.
So, looking at it from the viewer's perspective,
it's easy to think of Min Jong hyung as Athena.
To everyone, he looks like the blundering idiot.
And he was the true star of this drama?
The former agent of North Korean Intelligence Department,
actor Kim Ming Jong as Kim Ki Soo.
The materialistic character he played was just a disguise up until now.
But in actuality, he holds the key in all the cases.
That's your mother.
[Important Clue: He is from North Korea along with Dr. Kim Myung Guk!]
Hailing from North Korea with Dr. Kim Myung Guk, Kim Ki Soo.
The act he put on until now was to hide his true mission and objective.
His identity as Athena is gradually starting to be revealed,
and the truths that were shrouded in secret.
I'm not sure what will happen,
but I think perhaps he'll be responsible for something big happening,
then making his exit.
And to upset that, what could that be?
I'm not sure.
Could he turn out to be Director Kwon's son?
That's quite a hurdle.
[Coming Soon ~ the truth about the conspiracy to be revealed!]
I heard that a lot.
That Director Kwon had 2 hidden sons.
One of them is Lee Jung Woo.
And the other is Kim Ki Soo. That's what people are saying.
And his illegitimate son is Son Hyuk.
This drama...
[Athena: Goddess of War - Upcoming Story]
This is Dr. Kim Myung Guk.
He's a genius nuclear physicist who worked on nuclear energy and weapons.
We must execute an immediate plan to save him.
[On the brink of failure Dr. Kim Myung Guk's defection plan]
In the midst of trying to assist Dr. Kim Myung Guk to defect,
they received the news that the plan went awry.
Yong Gwan gathers agents for a special secret mission to rescue Dr. Kim,
but an unknown force obstructs the plan and the mission is a failure.
Dr. Kim, why don't you come out now?
We will escort you safely.
It's an emergency situation!
They chased Dr. Kim Myung Guk as he's being kidnapped!
Yong Gwan rakes up all the resources to rescue abducted Dr. Kim Myung Guk.
And he ultimately succeeded in rescuing Dr. Kim Myung Guk.
But in the process, Yong Gwan is caught by Son Hyuk and is miserably taken to his hideout.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
We will meet again someday.
And then 3 years later.
What do you want me to make for you when we get home?
Dumpling soup.
You always want dumpling soup.
Yong Gwan becomes the new Director of NTS,
and begins to select new agents for future missions.
He picks Jung Woo as one of the special agents.
What is your reason for wanting to transfer to NIS Exhibition Center?
Do you know what missions I've been on since coming to NTS?
There aren't any.
I don't like not being able to do anything when there are things I can do.
Please send me there.
Jung Woo hopes to become a good agent for NIS Exhibition Center.
He meets Hae In by chance and falls in love with her at first sight.
[NIS Exhibition Center Agent Jung Woo Falls for Hae In!]
One day, he receives an assignment to investigate a plot by terrorists.
He ends up chasing a group of Russian Mafia,
and finds himself in dangerous situation.
He ends up receiving help from Jae Hee.
Jung Woo.
Do you know each other?
Yes. A little.
Actually, they were 2 people in love in the past.
[They were in love but Jung Woo and Jae Hee had to part]
If you're going to continue to see Jae Hee, there is a condition.
Leave NTS. I want Jae Hee to have a happy life.
Where's Seo Min Hyuk right now?
He is posted in Algeria.
I'll go to Algeria.
There's another agent who will carry out this mission.
Jung Woo received orders from Yong Gwan and goes to Algeria for a special mission.
It's here that he meets the President's daughter, Soo Young, by chance.
The President's daughter is there right now.
What would you like to order?
You lied about being Japanese, didn't you?
Why did you say you're not Korean?
It's just, I just didn't want to become distracted by meeting other Koreans.
I want to focus on my studies.
What could their target possibly be?
The locations in these photos...
No matter how hard I look, I can't figure it out.
They're all places I go to frequently.
Miss Soo Young has been kidnapped.
He finally realizes the target of the terrorists.
He goes to find Soo Young but she was already captured by the terrorists.
Behind this, it was the same dark force
as the one in Dr. Kim Myung Guk's rescue mission.
I don't know what you people want,
but you won't get it this way.
So just sit and wait until the target takes the bail.
You'll be generously compensated.
In Korea, Choi Jin Hee enlists help from US to save Soo Young.
I'm the DIS East Asia Bureau Director.
Starting now, all the authority on this operation is passed over to us.
All the investigation's information and progress until now,
please transfer all of it to us.
Please take a seat.
What happened three years ago, I've always felt regretful about it.
If you and I were to fight each other again,
then you'll be the one to be sacrificed,
and used to cure my wounds.
Finally, the operation begins to rescue Soo Young.
The operation plan has been changed to Blade Storm.
What was that?
I'm NTS Agent Lee Jung Woo.
Soo Young, do you know how much I missed you?
When I start shooting, you run in that direction.
He protects Soo Young capably in the dangerous situation,
and shows his skill as a special agent right before the explosion.
But the moment Jung Woo jumps out of the way,
Soo Young was taken hostage by the kidnappers.
Drop your gun.
Drop your gun!
And then, Hae In and Jung Woo see each other in an unexpected situation.
Hello. I'm Yoon Hae In.
Director, we have a big problem.
- What is it? - Dr. Kim Myung Guk has been kidnapped.
NTS loses Dr. Kim Myung Guk and even loses the SNC.
If the kidnappers have both Dr. Kim and SNC,
They have the entire technology we've been working on.
We will get back both Dr. Kim and the SNC.
The agents are closing into Son Hyuk's base.
Don't you know what's in there?
Joon Ho and Jung Woo succeed in recovering the SNC!
But they still don't know the whereabouts of Dr. Kim Myung Guk.
Fortunately, we recovered the SNC.
But our mission is not over until we find Director Kim.
The biggest problem is we don't even know who has Dr. Kim.
So what is it, out of the blue?
Huh? I came because you texted me.
You're kidding.
Jung Woo!
Jung Woo.
Jung Woo has fallen for Son Hyuk's ploy.
The SNC you took, we want it back.
What are you doing?
[Jung Woo believes Hae In is being tortured and makes a risky decision]
Let her go. Right now.
In trying to save Hae In, he loses Dr. Kim Myung Guk.
[Ultimately, Dr. Kim Myung Guk meets death]
If threats don't get through his head, kill him.
We need to take the next step.
Doctor.
In order to clarify the situation,
Jung Woo tries to decipher the code left by Dr. Kim.
So you're saying your colleague's life was more important?
To save her life, you made a reckless decision.
Yoon Hae In is currently under investigation. Release her immediately.
It's not that easy.
I didn't back you up all this time so that you can do easy tasks!
I need you to take care of anything that will hinder our operations.
The first one for you to take out is...
Lee Jung Woo.
After failing to get the SNC, Son Hyuk...
Washington suspects me?
What's the outcome of your search?
Athena...
Fearing his ties to Athena will be discovered,
he decided to kill Jung Woo himself.
[Son Hyuk fears his identity being discovered and decides to kill Jung Woo himself]
You seemed to have become quite attached to Lee Jung Woo.
It's not like that.
Call Lee Jung Woo right now,
and ask him to come to the 4-way stop at Chonggae pavilion at noon tomorrow.
[Hae In is torn between Son Hyuk and Jung Woo!]
Hae In is torn between the person who gives her orders and the man she loves.
You're early.
She ends up betraying Son Hyuk and saves Jung Woo.
I don't think this is going to work.
As long as we are in this line of work,
our feelings for each other will end up hurting us both.
I don't want to force you to love me or be a bother to you.
But Hae In...
Don't give up on your happiness, no matter what.
To protect Jung Woo, Hae In decides to leave him
and reminisce the times she shared with Jung Woo and tries to comfort herself.
DIS Headquarters dispatched agents to bring you in.
Hurry up and do something about it.
Son Hyuk's identity is discovered and as he tries to flee,
was shot but managed to escape even with the gunshot wound.
As the NTS agents closed in on him,
Hae In hides her identity by pretending to arrest Son Hyuk.
About Son Hyuk walking out under Hae In's custody,
don't you find it strange?
There must have been special circumstances.
Jung Woo finds a faded picture among Son Hyuk's personal belongings.
Yu Jin.
Jung Woo realizes who Hae In is,
and feels deeply betrayed by the woman he loved.
Which were the truths and which were the lies?! Huh?
Son Hyuk kills the agents who were following him,
and runs once again.
Please leave now.
As far away as possible, without leaving any remnant of you.
Ahjussi!
Your girlfriend is passed out here.
Hae In tries to commit suicide but,
Son Hyuk can't let her go, knowing how tormenting this is for her.
[Son Hyuk can never let Hae In go - Their Twisted Fate]
Let's end all of this now.
There isn't much left.
I will take care of the rest,
so please bear it for me a bit longer. Hae In.
Dad!
On another front, Jae Hee finds out her father is a member of Athena,
and goes into shock.
Son Hyuk aims his gun at the member whose identity has been discovered.
In the midst of the chaos, Jung Woo targets Hae In and goes to find her.
Find the sniper! Find the sniper!
[At Son Hyuk's hands, he meets his death]
Drop your gun!
Jung Woo doesn't realize the truth and takes Hae In to be the sniper.
What will be their fate?
Around here, we're going to take a look at the some of the production scenes.
[The shoot at Incheon Bridge]
Major action taking place on Incheon Bridge.
The scenes as spectacular as the amount of danger risked.
[Special permit granted for the shoot]
It's not that easy to have access to the entire bridge to do the shoots,
even for movies.
I don't know how it happened, but...
the talks with the Incheon Bridge Corporation must have gone well.
Anyway, the negotiations went well,
so we were able to have that full access of the bridge to shoot.
[Despite the cold weather, acting with serious minds]
Athena: The Goddess of War's action hero, Jung Woo Sung.
His partner today is Choi Si Won who plays Kim Joon Ho.
They could complain about the cold weather but once the cameras begin to roll,
the two of them act their roles with serious minds.
Jung Woo, who's more experienced with actions scenes, explains to novice Choi Si Won.
We're on Incheon Bridge right now.
Jung Woo hyung knew ahead that Athena will be coming here,
and we're trying to protect the President from them.
This is the scene where they start shooting as they get out of their car.
The lack of experience by Choi Si Won is easily noticeable.
Take a look at this.
Push it out then pull it back again. [The know hows of Jung Woo Sung]
It can get stuck. If it does, then push in the case,
then it'll go forward and you pull on this again.
I see.
Action!
The action scene starts again.
It could be because of Jung Woo Sung's explanations but he looks much more natural.
Action!
The bloody scene is over, now they need the hard action skill in a car explosion.
Actors sometimes are injured from these type of scene.
- Are you hurt? - I'm fine. I'm fine.
We throw a punch each then fall backwards.
As we fall, there are guns next to us.
We pick up those guns and start shooting at each other.
That can be the arm or the hand.
We're not going to run as we shoot, we could do that.
I could be shooting as I run then bump into him.
So if that happens, we would punch like crazy.
Not for very long, maybe throw 5 or 10 punches.
Just to stun him for a bit.
And then, we hit each other again and fall backwards.
Get hit then fall backwards.
Get shot then fall to the ground.
Then Son Hyuk runs away and I chase him as I shoot at him.
Was that in the script?
Well, it wasn't in the script, so...
Action!
Even in dangerous situations, these actors don't try to protect their bodies.
Their efforts resulted in the great action scenes of Athena: The Goddess of War.
Cut!
- Let do it again. - Can we do that again?
Action!
We expect this scene, which took 4 days of shooting on Incheon Bridge
will be the most memorable scene of Athena: The Goddess of War.
It's my heart.
Dear viewers of Athena, we're still shooting everyday in this cold weather.
And I believe, that is possible because of the support and love you've given us.
We're now at episode 14 of Athena.
There are still many secrets to be unraveled,
and the identity of Athena is slowly being revealed.
I believe this to be the beginning.
Please continue to give us your support and love. Thank you.

For sure, they're planning something big.
Our priority is to find out what that is.
[Exploit Son Hyuk's conspiracy]
In three minutes, seize the command post and send someone to every point.
This negotiation needs to succeed at all costs.
It looks like you need to do one last difficult assignment.
[The entity of Athena that threatens South Korea!]
It seems like, you have to evacuate the command post immediately.
It looks like Son Hyuk's target is the President.
[An evil destiny that cannot be avoided]
The unpredictable war has begun!
I'll personally attend to this matter.
We are the worst-fated possible.
