Ep 1 - March 14 [Mon]

This thread is for discussion of episode 1 of Athena: Goddess of War. Please check the drama info & schedule thread for more info and rules on how to avoid spoilers and such.

You might notice that DramaFever has an episode 00 of this drama on their site. It's a behind the scenes special of the drama. It helps you understand the drama a bit better but it's not a must watch. You can start with episode 1 and skip episode 00 if you'd like.

If you experience playback issues with DramaFever, the drama is also available for viewing at Hulu.

There was quite a bit of action in this episode. It felt more like I was watching a movie rather than a drama. The fight scene in the washroom must have been tough to film. With all the bullets flying around, I'm surprised Dr. Kim wasn't shot by accident.

From everyone, I thought Hye In [played by Soo Ae] stood out the most. It was funny seeing Jung Woo [played by Woo Sung] practically drooling over her. Yoo Dong Geun [Dr. Kwon] is one of my favorite actors so I'm glad he didn't die in the first episode.

Athena likely won't be everyone's cup of tea but it'll be interesting to see where things go from here.

On a side note, I was testing out IE9 so I ended up watching the ep at Hulu. If you're going to be using IE9, I recommend setting DramaFever and Hulu to compatibility view.

I watched the first episode yesterday. It looks like an
interesting drama. The picture was very clear and I really
liked the sub-titles. They were large and very easy to read.
