Plot
Set 3 years after the death of NIS (National Intelligence Service) agent Kim Hyeon-Jun (Lee Byung-Hun) by terrorist group IRIS. At a warehouse that sells arms illegally, NSS (National Security Service) team leader Joon-Han (Sung Dong-Il) sees Detective Yoo-Gun (Jang Hyuk) and asks him to work with him as an NSS agent.
Later, Yoo-Gun is now a team leader for the NSS TF-A team. Soo-Yeon (Lee Da-Hae), who has loved Yoo-Gun since they were young, begins to work as an NSS agent as well. Choi Min (Oh Yeon-Su) is newly appointed as the NSS deputy director. Her only purpose is take down IRIS.
NSS ex-director Baek San (Kim Young-Chul) has been incarcerated at the NSS prison, located on a remote island. A helicopter requests to land on the island and identifies themselves as NSS agents. After landing, they suddenly open fire on NSS agents. They are actually IRIS members. They are led by Ray (David McInnis) and takes Baek San out of prison. But when the helicopter leaves the island, Baek San jumps out of the helicopter and into the ocean.
Yoo-Gun, Soo-Yeon and Hyun-Woo (Yoon Doo-Joon) arrive on the island. Soo-Yeon is caught by Baek San, who points a gun at her. Yoo-Gun tries to mediate with Baek San, but Hyun-Woo fires from long range towards Baek San. Soo-Yeon is shot and taken to the hospital.
Baek San is moved to a NSS secret house. There, Baek San is interrogated by Yoo-Gun. He wants to know why he turned himself in and why IRIS tried to take him, but Baek San stays silent. Baek San only asks for 3 newspapers to read daily. The NSS team tries to find any secret code hidden within the newspapers, but find nothing.
At this time, IRIS members approach the NSS secret house. A gun fight erupts between IRIS and NSS agents. Yoo-Gun takes Baek San out of the secret house and runs to a car with Baek San. IRIS chases after the car with Baek San. Yoo-Gun is able to get to a military base and they are temporarily safe from IRIS. Yoo-Gun and NSS deputy director Choi begin to suspect that there's an IRIS mole within the NSS ranks.
Baek San finally reveals to the NSS agents that IRIS may launch an attack in Hungary, where high level meetings between North and South Korea are about to take place. He's unsure if IRIS is targeting North or South Korea.
Meanwhile, Soo-Yeon is now recovered. Even though Yoo-Gun opposes, Soo-Yeon goes to Hungary with the NSS team. Meanwhile, Yeon-Hwa (Lim Soo-Hyang) from IRIS arrives in Hungary and plots out their scheme. There's also Joong-Won (Lee Beom-Soo), who escaped from North Korea, and appears in Hungary by Yeon-Hwa's request.

I love Irish 2 it's better than Irish 1. Irish 2 have best story, best action, best actors &actrees who play their role...i don't know what to say.. It's just best action korean drama i ever seen. Hope there will be Irish 3 next...

In all the 20 eps, my moments of thrill came when Baek San was in action and probably in the last 5 mins with the appearance of Kim so yeon.

FYI to some people, Athena might be a spinoff but the storyline is good, full of exciting drama, Iris was of course was the best and I hope when Iris 3 comes out (hopefully), LBH will revive somehow and annihilate Iris. Iris 2 was kinda dumb, cos how can a person dealt one (or two) sniper shots actually survive? Well, it was still okay nevertheless. More fighting scenes instead of political crap
Luiz Says:
Apr 25 2013 2:09 am
I liked! I mean, yeah, it did have a lot of mistakes, probably more than IRIS 1, but i still think the plot was kind of solid (Although, they never cofirm if kim tae hee´s character was Mr Black´s daugther) ..The relationship between some characters was kinda off, and there were a bunch of useless scenes (That guy from "Gag concert" lead some of those)....Anyway, I don't think I:2 surpassed I:1, but in my opinion, I:2 plot was better, even with all those mistakes....And i think that ending was more than necesary (Well, i really was expecting a final kiss between Yoo Gun a Soo Yeon) since Yoo Gun was going to die anyway from all those seizures.....IRIS 3? Nah, i think another spin off with a better director would be more exciting.
ian Says:
Apr 23 2013 11:24 pm
i think we give the credit for iris 2's flop to the change of director.. season 1's director wasnt chosen to do this sequel .. i think that was the reason behind the poor and weak series..

i loved iris2, it was nice, pls let the second part be out soon.in my opinion, i think TK1 should come back even if yoo gun is shot by Rey,TK1 should find choi-seung in a remote village get back to NSS, this final part of iris should be WAR. mr.black needs to show his face, also i think syu hwa should join NSS. for any reason hyun-woo deserves to be happy and TK1and choi-seung needs a proper weeding. pls make iris right this time.

Apr 21 2013 7:06 pm
lol how is the ending similar to IRIS 1? TK1 was killed while JYG killed himself. The ending of IRIS 2 is most likely copied from BATMAN III where batman also flied himself with a bomb.
well it doesn't matter anyway. IRIS II sucks balls and it is no where near IRIS I. The only interesting character here is Kim Yeon Hwa. Others are just pure shit. The male lead looks like a drunk bastard. The one who played Hyun-Woo should be the lead instead.
I doubt there will be IRIS III since they already killed Mr. Black, even Park Cheol-Yung and Kim Seon Hwa just became an extra here in IRIS II. Unless they bring back Kim Tae-Hee as the daughter of Mr. Black, and they bring back to life TK1, I won't be interested anymore. Athena sucks. IRIS II sucks. IRIS III will definitely suck.

Wow, I survived watching all episodes.. :-))) As I wrote below, I endured it only because of Jang Hyuk. And he was the first of the only two positives of IRIS 2 - the second was Kim Young-Chul as Baek San. I admit that I was waiting for Kim Seung-Woo coming back to life - it could have been the third positive :-) OK. I am going to watch the original IRIS again to get that real "IRIS mood" I was mistakenly hoping to get while watching IRIS 2. And I am gonna sell my old KIA, because I started to be allergic to it. Anyone knows why?
CICI Says:
Apr 20 2013 9:40 am
I can't believe I watched IRIS 2 until the end. I kept waiting for it to to come at least part way up to "IRIS" level but It was terrible and until the end. If you are a Jang Hyuk fan, pass on this one or you will be completely depressed. He's such a good actor but I feel like they just used his name to draw people to watch it. Sorry, but that's how I feel after 20 eps.

the few first episode is kind of boring, but i find it interesting to watch when I saw Kim Yeon-Hwa (Lim Soo-Hyang) character in this movie, prefer her more than another one, but every one else is good too, just yeon hwa character more interesting.

Actors are too young inside NSS and from the beginning till the end what can NSS do good? none! not even protect a convoy. Many shooting but no hit! even few meters far....
Iris I is far better with top Mature Actors so for next Iris 3 should bring back Iris 1 actors and a good story.
Domino Says:
Apr 13 2013 11:09 pm
It doesn't matter how long before IRIS 3 comes out. If it has the same writers, disconnected plot and boring lead characters, nobody is going to watch it. People who don't like IRIS 2 aren't going to be intimidated into saying they like the series just because someone says their comments are "hate" comments. Everybody knows that's just BS. The ratings & comments prove IRIS 2 bombed. If an IRIS 3 is made as well as the first one, then comments and ratings will be much better...it's that simple.
aye_its_supreme Says:
Apr 13 2013 6:09 pm
people, you're all going to have to wait another 4 years until IRIS 3 comes out. stop with all these hate comments and enjoy IRIS 2. Athena is also going to have a sequel so expect it to come out in 2 years.

1.) Sponsor-plagued show... Eg. Showing Akita again even in Part 2..., And no matter which side/organization/country thet're from, they are all using Samsung phones & cameras, all driving the same car models, all using the same laptop. (These are some problems that dramas or movies face... So I can't really harshly critic on this point.)
2.) Too melodramatic... Too many unnecessary and pointless scenes of characters showing them doing nothing but staring into oblivion or even just sipping a cup of coffee with those melodramatic music in the background and then a sudden change of scene... Why? What does it even serve or tell?
3.) Strictly trained spies and assassins can type cannot-be-seen messages on phones in hostile environments... With the sound, loudly on... What...?? Yes, they are highly trained covert operators.
4.) Unbelievable?... Main character is a dead-on accurate shooter, let's say, maybe in a range of 100m, he gets 10 critical hits on moving targets in 10 shots. He then proceeds on to just get 1 hit in 10 or 15 shots on a moving target... In 5m. I can get the necessity for drama and adrenaline-rushed screenplay (And maybe this is possible in real-life, I'm not sure.), but as a matter of fact and sadly, I felt no adrenaline or anything positive, I felt ridiculed.
5.) For real?... Terrorists openly wielding big guns patrolling in open areas with not a tiniest shred of intention to conceal themselves at all. And next, scene shifts into closed up areas, ladies and gentlemen, behold!: Terrorists covering up their faces and can be seen in strategic positions. Wow...
6.) Come on man... Yoo Joong Won was lamenting the lack of ammunitions in a earlier scene, and a few scene later, while chasing a already out of sight vehicle, his henchmen can be seen and heard firing those very limited and precious ammunitions at... Thin air. And again, yes, they are highly trained covert operators. Pssssh, seems like they weren't schooled very well in the art of not wasting resources in enemy land. Limited ammunitions were left and there they go, going trigger happy at thin air, pfffft.
7.) Notice the empty environments whenever gunfire are exchanged, be it in a metropolitan or a industrial area. I buy the fact that civilians are already evacuated when there'll be a probable shoot-out, but what about unpredicted attacks? Streets, carparks and villages are always conveniently empty when a sudden shoout-out occurs in the series so far.
As mentioned above, Iris 2 threads on a very different path to Iris 1. Iris 1 is a very much believable drama than the 2nd part, in a much superior way. Just take point 7 into consideration, remember the chaotic gunfire between the North Korean terrorists and LBH? That was very much believable, innocent civilians getting caught in the cross-fire, no matter be it an elderly or a child, males or females. And trust me, there're far too many unnecessary scenes in this lightweight drama... As compared to it's titan predecessor.
Wumme Says:
Apr 11 2013 5:45 pm
Pls continue frm Iris I and bring LBH back to life...convince us he was saved frm that shot and he had to stay away for 3yrs for full recovery without a trace of him been alive to the (iris organisation) BOOM!! ACTION STARTS NOW!
Pls, when producing another interesting drama like Iris, always make it a happy ending!

Got to say Iris 2 is like the fart of Iris 1. Iris one's cast has so much more charisma than Iris 2. Haiz and Iris 2 is so stupid. How can it happen twice that a main character gets sniped and survives? plus so much meaningless talk and less action. BOO disappointing waited for years for nothing. THANKS

Apr 05 2013 8:25 pm
I had an open mind watching Iris 2 for 12 episodes and all I have gotten is a "headache". I am also a Jang Hyuk fan and this is the worst drama I've seen him in. Like others have said, it's like he's just a prop for the female lead. There are a lot of good actors in this, they just weren't used well if hardly at all.

Domino Says:
Apr 04 2013 10:29 pm
I checked an episode in case this drama could have gotten any better. Unfortunately it hasn't. I hope if there is an IRIS 3 the original writers, director etc of IRIS 1 will be used. IRIS is still the best and I'd watch it again instead of IRIS 2. I feel bad for the original cast members that are in this one. There is no entertainment here, just stress.

IRIS 2 is nothing like the first. As you can see on the ratings, people in Korea had high hopes for it, but then they saw that it was nothing like the first so people stopped watching it.

Why so many negative comments people?! It's not really that bad! Rather it's pretty good! I have watched Iris 1 too and I think both are so far individually good. Some people are complaining about not keeping the old cast but hey..it has a whole new story (it's a sequel though and so you have to have idea about the story of Iris) which has nothing to do with the previous cast (except the characters who are already from the previous 1!). This cast isn't bad at all. Main characters are mostly experienced actors so I don't think they have lack of acting skills! Plus so many Idol faces!! *DooJoon from B2st, Lee Joon from Mblaq and A-jax's Hyeongkon too (Please add his name in the list mods) .Previously we only had T.O.P but story wise we didn't need more back then though :)

IrIS 2 continues to disappoint after the eleventh (11 th) episode. How many times are they going to pretend to kill off Jang Hyuk? It's bad enough he has hardly been in this drama. Lee Da Hae is so boring at this point. Aren't any of the men allowed to shoot a gun any more or go on a mission but this woman? I can't watch any more of this.

Iris 2 so far is very good in my opinion though episode 7 and 8 sucked because it dragged on both of those episodes can be summarized and anyone could get the picture BUT it imporved a lot by on episode 9 and 10 which kept me watching.The whole amnesia thing is very cliche though -_-
I loved Iris 1 and iris 2 equally so far. But athena is a spinoff you should avoid that spinoff was soo horrible.

Mar 16 2013 1:49 am
well nothing much to talk about iris 2 so far it lacks intensity compared with athena.iris 1 .and my favourite tree with deep roots, more than that NSS agents lack common sense, leadership. so far up to now fails to live up toaudiance expectations. who has seen iris 1 and athena (although this series is seems to be a copy of 24? and correct me if i am wrong the reason for athenas existence/purpose is never explained in that series.) if you are to compare this with tree with deep roots(twdr) intensity.plot, ingenuity wise this seires so far has hit rock bottom. twdr god that was amazing.hope iris 2 will get better as the story develops. no wonder ratings are not great. and Lee Dae Hee ssssssss is it her or just her acting in this series leaves lot to be desired.main actor as always disappointing g so far

danz......maybe in another drama, but not in IRIS 2. She comes off as totally "egocentric" and not believable. She doesn't come up to not only the actresses' level in IRIS 1 but also Athena. There are other "really good" actors & actresses in IRIS 2 that aren't given a chance ( & it would REALLY help this) and poor Jang Hyuk looks like he's been "shelved" which is sad because he IS a GREAT actor. How can people support the new cast when they are hardly in the film?? I suggest that the producers of this & the writers get together and WATCH IRIS & Athena. Your present ratings should tell you something. I was really looking forward to IRIS 2 and wanted it to be even better than the others but it's coming up to the 9th episode and this ship is sinking fast....

I had the same Option about IRIS 1, I really miss the first cast ( especially Lee Byung) but we got to be fair and give IRIS 2 crew a chance. I'm glad the lead girl is more tougher and less clingy like the previous one. I didnt like it at first but now I'm growing into it, I do agree the writers need to focus on the other team members too and not only Ji Soo-Yeon. Lets hope they dont disappoint us in middle like they usual do in Korean drama.

i see KEKE's point of view and also others point of view, KEKE is basically saying that ppl should support IRIS 2 because of its predecessor and support the storyline, and many others basically saying they dnt like IRIS 2 because it somehow changed, well my point of view is Iris 1 and Iris 2 is both great, sure there is different elements in each series because it's different producers, but either way ppl have there own mind and opinions so it's whatever just enjoy the drama and and support it

After watching some episodes from Iris 2, I re-watched Iris 1 and I realized that Kim Tae Hee is indeed a very good actress. She gave justice to Seung hee's character. Her acting was just perfect. When it comes to action, Seung Hee was not too tough that they showed her got hurt during the fighting scenes. With romance, Seung Hee was not rough, the feminine softness was very visible so it made the scene more sensuous but pleasant, effective and more convincing to watch. I don't know, just my opinion. I am now a Kim Tae Hee fan. Anyways, plus of course with Lee Byung Hun as main lead and the partner, how could it go wrong. I will continue watching iris 2, hoping for the best.

Hey people Iris 1 was GREAT, the story, the relationship everything was great, Iris 2 is good and is getting better because of the story line. Jung Yoo-Gun is Baek Sun son, ok the cast of Iris 1 was great but they did not want to be in the sequel, so lets just see what happens in Iris 2
CICI Says:
Mar 05 2013 11:25 am
Just because myself and others loved IRIS and don't think IRIS 2 is as good, at this point, doesn't make us "haters". Speaking for myself, I'm watching IRIS again for the 2nd time right now waiting for IRIS 2 new episodes and I am even more amazed how much better the love connection, the interaction of team members, detail and overall content is far superior. IRIS 2 may improve, (I hope) but at this time, my OPINION remains the same. Get over it and really....calling people names is so "babyfied".
Luiz Says:
Mar 04 2013 10:26 pm
Wow, already 6 (amazing) episodes....and there is still people complaining?...better writing??...I think the writers are doing a really good job with this series...im a huuuge fan of IRIS 1...but i´ve loved every single episode so far from I2....the history is gettin better and better, so i dont really get why there´s so much hate....yeh, the acting gets akward sometimes (even with jang hyuk)...but i still love the cast...So, give it a try, people!
CICI Says:
Mar 04 2013 1:50 pm
Krysa, WELL SAID! ...@KEKE...you're right. I am NOT a fan of IRIS 2 (yet)...and, if a show is called #2, it is obvious people will compare them. So, the best you can do is call people names? It figures.. LOL
Krysa Says:
Mar 04 2013 9:23 am
To KEKE - I am a big fan of IRIS, but I am not fan of IRIS II yet. Yes, I can see a lot of things that I do not like in IRIS II. Why do you think I am ignorant/stubborn? Is there any obligation that every fan of IRIS must love IRIS II? Is there any duty for IRIS fans to not have any negative comments about IRIS II? Why? I think it is just natural that fans are comparing both series. BTW, after 3 bad episodes (from my point of view) I have to say that in 4th episode were several moments with that "old" IRIS atmosphere. That was pretty good!
KEKE Says:

So far I still like IRIS better than IRIS 2. As much as I love Jang Hyuk, this drama feels so disconnected with most of the attention going to mainly one person...Ji Soo Yeon. Even though she is a new agent, she seems to have taken over. She's in front of the guys shooting, she's beating up guys and beats them, she stands in machine gunfire without being shot, now, she's been made "A" Team Leader when she should have been suspended at least, for disobeying rules and shooting the "spy" while talking to her...etc.I mean Yoo Gun got suspended for just the NK pres. getting shot. This has become so laughable...and boring. No one else is getting any real lines and face time but her. C'mon writers, get real. Isn't this supposed to be about a TEAM????
ralphm1999 Says:

I have not interest in a drama that started with kim tae hee and then changed the story and the cast. This is not a sequel of Iris 1. Too bad. Producers you have wasted a lot of money on a sequel that did not fulfill a continuation of a story that was not finished in Iris 1.

Feb 24 2013 6:49 pm
The only reason I am watching is JANG HYUK! He is an awesome actor, lots of charisma. Go Yoo-Gun!
Some other good new characters:
Yoo Joong Won (Lee Beom-Soo)- very appealing, energetic.
Can't wait to see more of Seo Hyun-Woo (Yoon Doo-Joon). , obvious chemistry w/ Ji Soo-Yeon, anticipating the tension.
Also, these returning characters are great: Baek San (Kim Young-Chul) and Cheol-Yeong (Kim Seung-Woo). Btw, where is Kim Seon-hwa? I really liked her.
But, Iris II needs better writing, it is not as good as Iris.
Most other new characters are not developed enough.
Still, I will continue to watch, because by episode 4 the story finally begins as Jung Yoo-Gun (Jang Hyuk) now has a purpose. Without JH, the story was not holding much interest- I am glad I kept watching, it is getting better.
CICI Says:
Feb 23 2013 12:34 am
I think Jang Hyuk is perfect for IRIS 2. He always gives 100% in his acting roles, he looks great and he a master at martial arts. What else can you ask for? He reveals the character's emotions no matter how far he has to go and I hope he's given a chance here. I also hope they keep him through the whole drama and not kill his character off. He's the only reason I'm watching so far.
YoYoYo Says:
Feb 23 2013 12:04 am
the new cast is actually pretty good...besides Lim Soo-Hyang, idk something bout her just doesn't get to me sure she HOT to be a bad girl but just something idk...but i gotta say DooJoon is doing a pretty good job as this is one of his major acting debut as a rookie actor!!!! and yet to see Lee Joon appear!
KEKE Says:
Feb 23 2013 12:01 am
So far i like it! idk why people is complaining bout it so bad geez sure LBH was bad ass and all but face the fact his character died(truth hurts!) and it wasnt Kim Sun-Hwa who killed him either, idk why the movie showed that when the beginning of IRIS 2 it showed Rey killing him...and NO Park Chul Young isn't dead idk y they showed that either in the movie when he obvoiously showed up in ep 3!!!! JUST ENJOY THE SERIES!! hard core fans gone crazy up in here! -__-

Too "cool".. Sometimes action scenes are hard to watch - slow-fast-slow-fast.. Shit.. I was looking forward this for years and now I am strongly disappointed.. :-( I am going to continue watching only because of Jang Hyuk..

I'm excited about the cast, though I wish Yoon So-Yi had been cast as Kim Yeon-Hwa instead. She did a great job on "Shadowless Sword's" action scenes. Also, she resembles Kim So-Yeon (Kim Sun-Hwa) more than Lim Soo-Hyang.

sedios Says:
Jan 13 2013 3:30 pm
Spoiler to the first season
I think regarding the ending not just the viewers, but even the makers weren't sure where to go with Kim Hyeon-Jun. This way they had the opportunity to decide later (based on the availability of the actors, contracts etc.), and a cliffhanger is good for the second season's audience anyways.
So IMHO the solution is: the character is dead, but the decision to not let him live came years after the final episode aired. (one possible reason is that LBH became even more successful, and he doesn't have time for such things anymore)

I don't understand why some people think that the main cast must be in every sequel...The story will only drag on and get boring after a few episodes, a new cast doesn't mean the whole story breaks off, they're basically considered as people who got hired after lee byung hun died and obviously kim tae hee wouldn't' wanna keep working if her love died. It makes sense for the new cast, some of you need to think about how the directors and writers need to write it in order for the drama not to be a forever repeating plot so that they would have more viewers.
But anyways, I can't wait to watch Iris 2!

I anticipated IRIS 2 so much until I know they change the main characters. I truly love how Lee Byung Hun plays his role as Kim Hyung Jun in IRIS 1. The ending is so bad that I never imagined and I remembered how hard I work to find this drama after I watched first 9 episode. Please give us our Kim Hyung Jun and Choi Seung Hee.

The Story end up too bad, I couldnt beleive that Hyeon Jun just died easily like that, he doesnt deserve it, If I would be the writer of director of this movie, I would make the ending part a suspense just like a question mark to everybody where in Hyeon really did not die and was just to hit to his shoulder or any part of his body and the blood on his face came from the part of his body that got shot, I know it happened already on the first part of his troubles and i think its not bad if they would do it they same way again. And when Hyeon jun gets revenge back again, thats the time he would really turn into real monster,.
KT Says:
Nov 19 2012 6:13 pm
This is considered a sequel as this revolves the terror group IRIS! NSS are the ones trying to stop it. Since kim hyun joon and seung hee left and say they were never gonna go back to NSS, another group will have to take over to completely kill off IRIS, thus the new NSS staff featured in this story. Seung hee MAY come back since it is iris that killed hyun joon.
ebito Says:
Nov 18 2012 1:31 am
how can it be a sequel if non of the main cast is on... i understand if hyun joon wont be on iris2 becouse he got shoot in the end of iris... but seung hee must return in iris 2 for it to be a sequel...
and if the writer really doesn't want to bring back hyun joon and seung hee why does the writer has to leave the viewer hanging by shooting hyun joon in the end of iris...
DaDa Says:
Nov 16 2012 8:23 pm
OMG would everybody here please take a chill pill?
The original cast (the majority) will not be back...WHY? Because they chose not to! LBH will not be back obviously (did y'all see the ending of IRIS? guess not judging by some comments) because of his Hollywood career, KTH is also a very busy person..so please stop the crap. You people are acting as if the original actors were kicked off the show. I for one LOVE the new cast. I can't wait to see Lee Beom Soo play the villain..and a threepeat pairing for Jang Hyuk and the beautiful + talented Lee Da Hae. The teaser really captured my interest.
If you are still pissed off about the changes then don't watch and piss off, it's that easy. Whining and complaining won't bring back the original cast anyways so quit cryin'.
g-jae Says:
Nov 16 2012 10:23 am
Hello... IIRIS fanatics... the comments are soaring and the reactions are mostly negative... But i AGREE with those comments that the main cast should come back and do the unfinished business... What is the relationship of Mr.Black with seung hee(KTH).. why is she protected by the IRIS group... what happens to baeksan... is Hyun Jun really dead??? there are a lot of loose ends in the story...
i hope this next IRIS is satisfying more than the 1st one because YOU MADE US WAIT!!!!
Mark Ambros Says:

How can it be that Kim tae hee is not in the movie they have to at least tell us what happen to the previous season star then only continue with the current one but that is just my point of view.

Nov 13 2012 7:45 am
I think the actors in this drama except:
Jang Hyuk
Kim So-Yeon
Oh Yeon-Su
Kim Seung-Woo
All are inexperienced and do not have the ability to play on the show, like Iris 2.
Actors should be like:
Jung Woo-Sung
Lee Byung-Hun
Kim Tae-Hee
Han Hyo-Joo
And .......
Was used. I think that this series would be like Iris and Athena.

A bit dissapointed not to see Tae Hee and Byung Hun in the sequel, but Jang Hyuk has his own charisma. Perfect performance in midas. Lee Da Hae is great on comedy romance kinda drama but i dont think he suited on iris but gives her a chance since kim so yeon do a very good job on IRIS 1.

To summarize my opinion.i think hyun jun together with his love will extract revenge on IRIS for making their life miserable.i wish his friend is not dead.i mean he was about to change before he was killed.it really was painfull.i know hyun jun can not escape death in this film but now is not the time for his death.he still got much work to do.but still we must consider the possibility of his death;(.if he really died,then there may be a possibility that his love is pregnant and this child would be the one to carry on his legacy:D.that's my resolve
Lukman Says:
Jul 09 2012 7:29 am
Iris is a very interesting film.but am surprised to see were it was ended.i mean....gosh......it was just getting more interesting.am sure he did'nt go through all those suffering just to end up assassinated with out even reaping the fruit of his labour.i don't believe Hyun jun is dead.i mean can't you remember the pain he endured?the gun shot wound,the plane crash,the torture and countless others.he deserves to end up living happily,not end up dead.guys IRIS is really touching.my greetings to the producers and actors.keep up the good work,GOD BLESS

Everyone should know TK1 dies. He got snipered by Kim Seon-Hwa. You don't see this in the drama version, but you do in the movie version. The movie version has a couple of seconds extra footage, showing Kim shooting him from a yacht on the water from a long distance. She basically carried out her mission.

What happened to this? I thought it was supposed to start airing 4 months ago. I really hope they play LBH and KTH in it again, I think it's definitely worth the wait for their schedules to be cleared and also I think it will bring the ratings up.

my girl told me about this and i got so in to it that i stay up and couldnt wait to come back from watch to continue watching it. it has 20 episode and around 1 and half hour each episode. so add it up 2 days. i want to see if tk1 will live in the next series after being shot from no where when coming back with a ring. from what it was told they said it will be 3 years ahead from when tk1 died. it's already 2012 and im still waiting for the next season to be release.

Gayle Says:
Feb 05 2012 3:42 am
PLEEEEASSSSE bring TK1 back,..you could make the series 2nd season include a pak to keep him safe & that his "death" was staged for safety resons!!! Or it could have been a DREAM.... something PLEASE BRING TK1 BACK!!! The show will NOT be the same,..it will NOT excel. Even if you have already aired most of this new season,..I think bringing him back from the DEAD would revive the show, You KILLED him off before & brought him back right?? LISTEN TO YOUR VEIWERS PLEASE! Thanks

Am afan of such spectacular acts, trust me, IRIS will not feel the same without TK1. He is the whole deal, just find a way of bringing him back to life- he might lose his memories after a surgery but later on................. JUST don't cut him off for he is the real package. Thanks.

Jan 21 2012 1:46 am
IRIS 1 was a superb drama - the pace of the action & mystery reminded me of the american series 24. However, I didn't like the ending. It was too abrupt and TK1 should not be killed off simply like that.

what you wrote pretty much mirrors what my thoughts regarding the major differences between IRIS IRIS:the movie and Athena. two of these works are dramaseries, while the third one basically is a incredible shallow "summary" of the show with a few new scenes (who messes up the plotline in both athena and IRIS none the less). I think the fans can just try cutting out the movie from their memories (it's not particullarly good from any aspect speaking anyway ;p) since that work exist in a different motion picture medium...
Philip Says:
Jan 04 2012 2:22 am
Hi Mikey, regarding your question I was a little skeptical at first when I watched the series and then the movie and I was thinking the same thing as you. And I think the ending to the movie has no real relation to the tv series at all, and it was just a twist the producers/ writers introduced to stir up peoples imaginations. As I genuinely believed Seon-Hwa cared for and loved Hyun-Jun.
I think Athena: Goddess of War has more of a relation in regards to what happened with Seon-Hwa. And in turn her story is developed in Athena as a follow up to the sequel Iris 2. You find out that General Park Cheoul-Young is in fact still alive, and Seon-Hwa is living in another country with her husband and child. Escaping her former life as an agent to her former homeland, and doing what she said she would in the conversation with her leader Cheoul-Young. With the former events taking place a few years after the initial Iris story (maybe 3-4 years). And in other events regarding her character and life, I presume she's going to be coming back as a definite for Iris 2, as her husband and child are killed in her home by acting agents to current leader Kim Jong-Un. Where Cheoul-Young tried to send a warning to Seon-Hwa in the hopes of helping her escape before she is assasinated by the agents, as there's an action put into place to kill all former North Korean agents who have defected from their homeland. And Seon-Hwa vowels to take vengeance upon the events which have occurred. And as a final note, the way the writers placed Seon-Hwa and Cheol-Young into Athena seemed to have no link to the story Athena at all, and they were used to help develop the lead-up for Iris 2 more than anything. Although I could be wrong hahaha. But in any case I can't wait for an official announcement to be made regarding Iris 2!!!
And I also do hope that Lee Byung-Hun, Kim Tae-Hee and all remaining cast come back to close off the story for everyone!
Mikey Says:
Jan 03 2012 1:31 am
LBH better comes back with all the full cast from IRIS 1.... There's still a lot of unresolved business to be done... Like one of the comment in here said before its part of the marketing tactic the developer used to leave LBH hanging in weather he is coming back or not so to create the excitement for the viewer. Just out of curiosity however to anyone that knows about this (please tell me if you do). In IRIS sawa was still in the hospital when LBH was shot in episode 20 at the very end, while in the IRIS movie it was revealed that sawa killed him from the yacht with a S.rifle... I m curious which one is correct? or the movie has an independent ending that is not related to the series and the IRIS2 coming up??? and by the way does anyone knows when they are going to reveal the cast for IRIS2 and possibly when they are going to start filming?
LBH, Kim Tae Hee, Kim So Yun better come back! Without them it wouldn't be the same :(
This is exactly like the game Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare where Cpt.Price one of the main character was presumably dead on the bridge at the very end when the Russian soldier hopelessly trying to revive him. At that time everyone thought he died at the end and there was a big debate weather he will be back or not. Two year later when the sequel came out Modern Warfare 2,Price came back during the second half of the game from a Russian prison... and followed with Modern Warfare 3... I REALLY hope this will be the case in IRIS 2 with LBH :D

IRIS is scheduled to premiere in Fall 2012.
"Later, just prior to the finale of Athena being broadcast, lead producer Chung Tae-won confirmed that Iris 2 was scheduled to be in production in time for a fall 2012 premiere. Concurrently, it was reported that the proposed series remains in pre-production with the scriptwriters currently crafting the story. Chung also revealed that no casting decisions had been made and that the writing staff were preparing two potential versions of the series.'" - Source:wikipedia

@Elie you're retarded. This is a FICTIONAL TV SHOW. Just because he got shot in the head doesn't mean he automatically has to die or turn into a vegetable. It's fiction moron. Furthermore, there have been people shot in the head before, and did not suffer brain damage. Google it before you open your stupid mouth, moron.

"IRIS 2" will take place 3 years after the DEATH of Hyeon-Jun (Lee Byung-Hun) and reveal more details on Hyeon-Jun's death, the arrest of Baek San (Kim Yeong-Cheol) for his IRIS activities, and the identity of Mr. Black who controlled Baek San.

@ Chris No, they didn't confirm hyun jun's death. various sites have conflicting information as to whether or not he's alive. Furthermore, sites have also said that this show was going to be released in October. It wasn't. Other sites said November and that isn't the case either. My point? Nobody knows what the hell is going to happen with season 2. Hyun Jun's death isn't certain. If you think otherwise then you're retarded.

Wow. I'm surprised that so many don't want Hyun-jun to die and think he will be alive in season 2.
Everyone could see that he died and the producers already confirmed that the IRIS will reveal the mysteries around his DEATH!

I just watched the final episode....Hope LBH is not dead...But still couldn't understand how he got shot from the right where was the sea...and he has blood on his left side...so maybe that's from the loosing control of the car...Or he was shot from the left and the bullet passed through his body and broke the right window...But one is for sure...dead or alive can't wait to see the second season!!!
Liimatainen Says:
Sep 24 2011 3:51 am
By chance, does anyone remember the 1990 movie "Awakenings", where Robert DeNiro was nominated for Oscar while just sitting catatonic and mute on a wheelchair for almost the entirety of the movie (which was excellent indeed)? This is it... LBH stays in coma till the last 2 episodes, then wakes up and gives the IRIS guys hell!! There's always a way.
PS: S.O.D.-The Ballad Of Kim Hyun-jun
..."You're dead!"
Liimatainen Says:
Sep 22 2011 11:58 am
We agree that LBH was the ace on the sleeve of IRIS. And Taewon Entertainment guys know it better from all of us. In a manner of thinking, they MUST keep alive one way or another. Imagine "24" (just an example) without Kiefer Sunderland. He is meant to survive, even in a vegetative state. Just think it a little... "main actors are in talks for the second season" ... "3 years after Hyun-jun's death". The pieces don't come together. Why bothering to mention that they are close to agreement if he 's not gonna be in? KBS2 is playing the marketing game truly well in my opinion, as viewers hold their breath for their next movement. Cross your fingers, hopefully some nice surprise is coming up soon!

Jul 24 2011 10:59 pm
It would have been a punch of sadness if Kim Tae Hee was killed in the end..."If the forbidden fruit (itself) is rotten, throw it away!"
Lee Byun Hyun coming back to NSS, with vengeance and more hunger to nail the killer, Mr. Black and the IRIS federation and better if he creates his own group with new and fit (charming) batch of intelligence or better if he is the new boss of NSS (if he can’t afford to create a group of his own).
Mr. Black being Kim Tae Hee's father is just too easy guess...
For viewers to feel LBH's vengeance, love and sadness...they can show snippets of Kim Tae Hee and her beautiful self... Lee Byun Hun carrying the engagement ring with him all the time... A new girl who looks like his dead girlfriend, whose glimpses he catches now and then, when on mission making him more restless and sad…
In the end Kim Tae Hee resurrected because as it seems, she is the new head of IRIS because it was her father who founded IRIS after he felt his ideology with NSS declining and NSS becoming a mere puppet to the government. Kim Tae Hee wanted vengeance for her father who was wrongfully executed. Mr. Black is in fact a woman, Kim Tae Hee’s mother who carried on the operation IRIS after the death of her husband.
When Lee Byun Hun finds the truth and the fact that Kim Tae Hee is in fact alive and is the girl he sees every now and then…he seeks her out. In a battle between NSS and IRIS…Lee Byun Hun and Kim Tae Hee confronts one another and for what they stands. They aim their gun at each other and shoots simultaneously….they die looking at each other with tears in their eyes while the engagement ring rolls off his pocket…
(Flashback… Kim Tae Hee was in fact looking out for Lee Byun Hun all the time…couple of times, when IRIS gang came very close to killing Lee Byun Hun, she shielded him, exposing herself to him…)
Kaybee Says:
Jul 24 2011 10:34 pm
Wow!
Did the director and the scriptwriter really think that the story and the drama carried the drama and ultimately the ratings?
Lee Byun Did! It was LBH's excellent acting and larger than life and make-believe character that made IRIS so great a drama.
Even if the drama was not this large scale with great production value, it would have still be an awesome drama with LBH.
I write stories myself and do believe great stories make good films/dramas and that director creates the characters that we see.
But there certain few actors who have a style of their own, who are intelligent and versatile, creates the character as we see it because they become the character themselves. Lee Byun Hun is one for that matter.
If LBH is not casted again, there is no point in IRIS-2!!!
Okay, if he has to die and new actors filled in but I hope the first few episodes of IRIS-2 explains the story with him in it…
If anyone from the production is reading this....I would kindly request you to cast LBH again IRIS-2 otherwise it won't make any sense… It would be like big hole in the story where the viewers will keep thinking what happened to him…and it won’t make sense at all for killing him… Fine the North Korean agent killed him…but even that is not clearly explained….BTW, who watched the film?
Pay LBH whatever…however…take time to make IRIS-2, wait for his schedule to be free…whatever….we all will wait for Lee Byun Hun in IRIS-2!

No wonder he got many award on acting...
I can't wait to see him act in IRIS 2

Note : if the main cast is changed, It's not interesting anymore....

So apparently no one bothered to watch the movie version of IRIS?
At the end it showed that kimsunhwa was the one that shot hyungjun (LBH)
I also find this interesting as her family was murdered in Athena, the script leads the viewer to believe it was the north korean government but you can reexamine that situation and make it out to be iris or someone who wanted revenge (LBH)
Or perhaps she was actually an iris member the whole time giving NSS (LBH) reason to kill
I forgot whether or not this is what I saw but I think in the movie ending where it revealed she's the killer, I thought I saw her kneeling in front of mr. Black

i dont understand why you people are so angry about the ending... it was the best ending that has the potential of having a better season 2... can't you even sense it? you already have so many questions in mind that proves how interesting it would be in season 2. what d'you expect, a vast yet unknown organization controlling countries' status will just be defeated by a single team of good guys? we're not even sure if Mr. Black is the mastermind or just one of the puppets in IRIS...
Seung-Hee is a part of IRIS "unknowingly", she may have to take/took her part somehow.. maybe she's the one who shot LBH or they faked his death in order to penetrate deeper into IRIS... i just hope that IRIS 2 will be more interesting and addictive..and most of all, earlier release pleeease...can't wait...
by the way, why are they wearing the a very big NSS logo? i thought it was a secret service (even the President didnt know)...it's very visible to the crowd...

The first serie of Isis was killer for me. Its lik a rollar coaster. Happy moments then tragedy and back and forth. And in the end when you think that nothing could go wrong and that its a happy ever after ending get married have kids, Hyun- Jun gets shot and seems like he's dead. It was like a WTF moment. Its like I wasted being addicted to this drama and wanting to finish it for this type of ending?? God director wants to kill me, but since Lee Byun- Hun is returing to the show, hopfully it was just a tension expand. Can't wait for the next series to be out!!!

Actually producing company has a golden opportunity to make this series a legend. IRIS and after Athena lil more same cast why not merging? They can do perfect scenario about it. But whatever happens i hope they do not kill LBH or that will be an epic mistake for them. And i should also add this after US Series 24 i haven't seen such series like this. Korean movies got a lot of progress and they are doing great indeed. And some of the scenes are more realistic than Hollywood actually.
Jack Says:
Feb 14 2011 12:39 am
I've never watched any Korean Dram before... no interest at all... but after seeing the trailer of this series, it got my interest.. I've watch the entire episode and IRIS and its cast a really very amazing. Not to mention the KTH and LBH, they make the movie perfect... Yes, I agree that directors will not kill LBH. I believe they can just make any stories for LBH when IRIS 2 starts just to buy time while LBH is still busy with GIJOE. IRIS is not IRIS if one of the main cast is missing.... KTH and LBH makes IRIS the IRIS.... In my opinion, if directors want to this series to be successfull like the the first 1 then KTH and LBH must be there....
Victor Says:
Feb 13 2011 3:35 pm
The one who shot LBH was Sun wah.. No jokes. If u watch Athena ull see the connection between IRIS and athena, look on youtube for the extended parts. Ull see that Sun wah shoots Lee byun hun from a boat, and also kills the north korean guy that was her leader (ull see in Athena episode 17 that Sun wahs family was killed). Watch Athena its really good in my opinion tops IRIS just not in cast.
Stiffie Says:
Feb 08 2011 2:29 am
good to hear that... First of all LBH is not dead yet. We only saw him shot. And there is a really big mystery around Kim Tae-Hee. Why she is forbidden and caused LBH to wasted by Baek San? And also Kim Tae-Hee was missing for day in the last episode of the serie. Where were she? There is a big mystery to solve and big fight to make in this serie. And i hope we will get to see Kim and LBH fighting together against iris and solve the pieces of the mystery slowly.

Damn it, LBH will not be returning for IRIS 2, he will be busy shooting G.I. JOE 2 at the time when they are supposed to film IRIS 2. I wonder who they will get to replace him as the lead. I was hoping they would say that he's in a coma or something but that certainly is not the case now. I would either like to see Jung Woo Sung cross over and take LBH's place or........after seeing The Man From Nowhere....I would love to see Won Bin take over the lead role and act in a drama again. The Man From Nowhere established him as a versatile actor and i think that he would be great as the lead for IRIS 2

Jan 31 2011 12:01 am
id also like to put forward a way i think that the directors could possibly do this. its something that i believe would probably be the best thing they can do . in season one the story basically followed hyeon-jun which means that completely killing him would basically destroy the series b/c what other characters have really progressed right? well it is my belief that what the directors might be hoping to achieve is the progression of the other characters. i think that one possible senerio is that they plan to have hyeon-jun be in a coma for maybe like half the second season or even the whole season to give the rest of the characters there time to make their marks and progress. maybe after this they could have him come out of the coma so that the viewers would still be happy and the story line would be better for it. i dont believe that they will really kill him off b/c theyd lose a lot of viewers and money.
tj Says:
Jan 30 2011 11:27 pm
honestly this was the best series ive seen in a while and my first korean drama . i was glued to the computer for 3 days and the ending leaves a lot of questions but the only thing on my mind and i hope that the writers pay close attention to this is that if they really did kill him off and if hyeon-jun isnt just in a coma or something ill probably stop watching the series. i believe that he was the best character in the series and itd be a cruel way to end it when he still has a long ways to progress. What makes it worse is that if he really is dead he was killed right before he could propose. if hes dead then its just really messed up. i hope that he recovers so that the story can progress if not i believe that it will just go downhill from here.
dappy Says:
Jan 24 2011 11:40 am
The ending was too sudden, even though LBH's destiny was anticipated to be tragic. If you watch the movie version of IRIS, the sniper that shot LBH was Sun Hwa. This doesn't make any sense since she was still recovering in hospital after taking a bullet to save LBH at the Korean talk. Now, why would she kill the love of her life? The movie version is also messed up with the North Korean leader still alive and giving the order to Sun Hwa to kill Kim Seung Woo.
With news that IRIS 2 will be recasting Kim Tae Hee, Kim So Yeon, Kim Seung Woo AND Lee Byung Hun is great news! IRIS wouldn't be the same without this great cast. Can't wait for it. I'm sure we're going to find out more details of IRIS and the role that KSH and LBH will play to uncover it's secret identity. IRIS is certainly the BEST korean drama that I've watched thus far.

doesn't make sense. i watched iris the movie. it showed that north korean leader was the one who directed sawa to kill LBH in the end when IRIS showed that TOP already assassinated him when the leader was about to be arrested for investigation. shot in the heart. how come he's still perfectly fine in the end??? doesn't make sense. and i hope IRIS 2 won't show that CSH is with another man!!!! T.T
tuabelle Says:
Jan 04 2011 10:36 pm
the build up at the end was obvious either Choi Seung Hee or Kim Hyun Jun would "die" or meet a tragic outcome. was hoping it was Seung Hee. haven't watched the movie. but I kept thinking Seung Hee was Mr. Black's daughter since Baek San said it was because KHJ ate the forbidden fruit and also when he warned Sa Woo it was dangerous to have any feeling for Seung Hee.
The ending was kind of left open. It neither denied nor confirmed the death of KHJ. Further putting pressure on KHJ and CSH in the sequel if CSH is deeply connected to IRIS through family ties. well here's hoping! :)
kim Says:
Jan 04 2011 6:33 am
When i first saw the poster of LBH and KTH together i thought they 2 would join the terrorist or IRIS and take revenge against NSS. But seriously the ending was really shit. they were happily talking about how many kids they should have when BAM. he died…
i think LBH is not really dead cos he could still think of CSH. i can’t wait that long for IRIS 2 to come out!!! i really hope Athena will continue IRIS and i think it is as they mentioned IRIS in the drama.

Jan 03 2011 7:23 am
I just watch IRIS the movie and found out who shot Hyeon-Jun. It was really shocking. If anyone's gonna watch the movie, they should watch the whole 20 episode drama first. I think it'll be confusing even though it's the same story (almost). I don't know if the shooter will be the same in IRIS 2 but I kinda hope it isn't
IRIS freak Says:
Jan 02 2011 4:09 am
For those that accuse LBH's character to be rather lame in that he COULD survive all the terrorist attacks must look also at other country's film industry like in Hollywood, on top of my mind is Die Hard saga in which Bruce Willis is like unstoppable & for series wise is 24 in which also Jack Bauer face even 100x more perilous gun fights and car chase in which also he did not die (i'm not certain whether Jack Bauer dies/lives at the end), but either outcome would leave viewers rather happy bcoz of the fact that they (writers/producers) paced his character development (IRIS lacks this).
Now, for the bad aspect, I felt that LBH character if they truly want to make him dead/alive ambiguity, the ending was too ABRUPT. If his character does not appear in IRIS 2, LBH's character should not have died the way he did, knowing korean dramas, this kind of ending was not in the true spirit of the korean series industry.
This series was by far the BEST 100x of korean dramas' I have watched but sadly with whatever constraints that the series brought to all parties involved like LBH's desire to pull out of drama series and focus on movie acting career (which i think is the main reason behind such an ABRUPT ending), financial budget (which i highly doubt it), and others unforeseen circumstances, NOT bringing back LBH will be sorely missed.
LBH as an actor in IRIS 1 is extremely good bcoz I was heavily influence by the fact that he took his role in GI Joe so well, changing the ever stereotyping of Asian characters in Hollywood movies/series to a more dynamic and "cool" character even for a bad ass character as the assassin in white suit. After GI Joe, I watched IRIS1 & felt that he FIT Kim Hyeon-Jun character PERFECTLY. I was trying to list some of the possible candidates to play him and felt they came out short
Revenge, mystery, romance, comedy, scandal, conspiracy and of course the main ingredient in most series and movies across all nation's world wide that is in TREND is the idea that there is always a SECRET ORG lurking in the shadows "puppeting" people from all walks of life, IRIS 1 had ALL THIS LISTED makings to be a truly revolutionary breakthrough franchise in the korean drama industry, but failed to do so bcoz of the LAST 30 SECONDS of the final episode. With spin-offs like Anthena coming up, it just feels like post Lord of the Rings (LTR), where if you remember most directors were coming up with so many films similar to that of LTR in which the names all lack originality, which by the way IRIS 1 has or should I say HAD.
Waiting for nearly 3 years is no solution to resolve the viewership's anticipation for part 2 but also loses the plot of the series which as time pass deteriorates as more projects are offered to all parties involve in the making of any series, eg; directors getting new projects and actors which are highly sought after taking on new projects.
IRIS 1 Originality - 8/10 (taking into consideration that it is a similar plot to that of 24)
Overall rating that SHOULD have been - 9/10
Overall rating in REALITY - 6/10 (for two reasons, ABRUPT ending & if indeed killing off LBH's character was the only option, the way they did it defies all
elements that makes korean dramas worth watching)
Overall SURPRISE rating - 11/10 (if producers/writers can make me watch IRIS 2 again WITHOUT LBH, I truly respect their initial decision to kill him off and
hence take back EVERYTHING I said earlier)

i agree to everyone that IRIS is one of the best Korean drama that was made and it surpassed the other dramas. It is a package-deal. Everything that we wanted was put it here - action, drama, comedy, romance and suspense. The ending made me sad. Why that happened?! Is Kim Hyun Jun dead? NO! I hope that he'll be alive and with Seung Hee, they will uncover the mystery behind IRIS and the true identity of Mr. Black. We're waiting for the IRIS 2!!!!! I Lee Byung-Hun and Kim Tae Hee. :)They are really good! I hope they will be in IRIS 2 again. Please! Please! Please!

It sucked that KHJ was sniped at the last moment when it seemed that everything was going to end perfectly. I hope Kim Hyun Jun survives. I don't know for sure if he died or not, but I hope, like Indrootea wrote, that KHJ survives and is placed in a comma or something. It sucked that KHJ was sniped at the last moment. I hope he comes back in IRIS 2.
After reading some of the comments, it seems to me like IRIS 2 will be about another couple who go through the same as KHJ and LBH (his girl) who interact with LBH. I hope IRIS 2 will just continue KHJ and LBH's story with lots of more action, fun, and twists. Waiting for it:D

lee byung hun won't be in season 2 , he will only appear in 2 episodes , the reason he wont do season 2 is because IRIS doesnt do justice to his movie acting skill + he doesnt want to stay in the Korean tv show area he wants to flow/streAM back to movies.

heh about Iris 2.. as I see everyone thinks [hopes] that KHJ will be back.. well yeah, he can come back and get his revenge, but he can and Not To Come Back, at the Iris 2 it can be that CSH [his girl...] will take revenge for everything [while MAYBE KHJ will be in some coma? or of course dead.], cause IRIS took everything what she had, her love KHJ, friend Jin Sa-Woo, and her parents, maybe even something more that i can't remember now.. soo One of these will happen, I'm interested witch one ^^ the only thing which is disappointing that TOP will not be in it..

Archie Says:
Nov 11 2010 12:55 pm
My personal opinion, how the hell he could survive with all the circumstances he was back then. He faced critical situations a lot, but still he managed to be alive. Okay, the story made this way : Kim Hyun Jun died being sniped at the end. Then why can't the terrorists kill him early like the way he get killed from season 1? So, it means the IRIS failed. And this leads the point where why should we watch the motives of IRIS (season 2), when we know the fact that the hero in this story died such way?
Death for LBH is a no no.. I don't think its a good idea.

. I believe like some one stated the shot could have wounded him and it to 3 years for him to fully recover meanwhile Iris has Recovered from the arrests and deaths . The director left the option for him to come back, as you can see that his eyes did not look dead and they never classify if he was really "dead". please bring back Lee Byung-Hun, Kim Tae-Hee, Kim Seung-Woo, & Kim So-Yeon again for IRIS 2 . I like the section chief doctor and the guy that brought in Jin Sa Woo . i Loved the interaction with the cast the chemistry they had together . i Think all that was integral in making Iris the best show i have seen in a long time enough to make me actually post and have watched the episodes one right after another in three days ( had to go to work eat etc lol ) like the lady said you can't run from destiny i believe it was destined for Kim Hyun Joon and Choi Seung Hee to be together and for them to fight against Iris . the Voice's organization i believe through in pieces does still exist . They could be how Kim Hyun Joon is saved and recovers with anyone knowing but the trusted NSS friends . Then The story goes from there. It Can be Done this way !!!!!!!!!! i hope it is done some similar way so that i can keep the Characters alive that i enjoyed in Iris 1

Oct 26 2010 7:56 pm
Oh, one more question with regard to script languages: the script called for English to be spoken at various times. Now, in the US Military scene confirming the North movement into the South without delay, or the English spoken by the Korean agents in foreign locations such as Hungary or Japan when communicating with locals of those countries, such as the Hungarian Tarot card reader, were plausible in the plot. Howerver, there was a scene where the American Halliburton private army people were speaking English during a meeting with the Korean terrorists seemed odd. If the Americans did not speak Korean, then the meeting would have been done in English. But the Americans apparently understood the Koreans. During the meeting, Sa Woo asked a question in Korean, and the American contractors answered it in English without translation, and without hesitation, which inferred the Americans were fluent in Korean. While I inferred that all the Korean agents were all fluent in English, it did seem a bit odd that the Americans only spoke English, and the Koreans only spoke Korean, during this scene.
Michael Says:
Oct 26 2010 7:47 pm
Did anyone get the feeling that the series was supposed to end following the nuclear bomb arc? I got the feeling that the original run had been slated through capture, and the last two or three episodes seemed to be shows in search of a plausible plot. No real criticism, but if the 20-episode series had been planned from the beginning, I would have used the threat of the nuclear bomb explosion as Episode 20 fodder, and used the shopping mall scene somewhere in the middle, say around Episode 14 or 15. Hindsight is really the key here. Just a bit more plot continuity can do wonders.

This is just sad news. I got so attached to the characters in season one that I could not bear to watch them leave. LBH should totally come back or else IRIS won't be right without him. I am highly anticipating for this and hope I won't forget about it by next year. People who said LBH was killed off in Season one is 50% wrong. The director left the option for him to come back, as you can see that his eyes did not look dead and they never classify if he was really "dead".

Personally I think Kim Hyeon-jun (Lee Byung-Hun) is really dead this time
we have already made the false death I think two is too. and then be alive after requests a head shot is big. I hope i will be wrong and i hope it will be in Iris 2

From Australia here so watched the series with English subtitles. IRIS was excellant, great production and acting from everyone, better than anything Hollywood can put out. I think they made a mistake by killing off LBH and I think now the producers would probably agree. They should of just stopped at the point when he was driving. However, I can forget that mistake they made because it was a very tiny part and right at the end. So, they should bring back LBH for IRIS 2 as LBH is such a great actor that he will pull in viewers. I also enjoyed the NSS doctor (sorry don't know his name). Kim Tae-Hee and and Kim So-Yeon are just stunning.

It says that LBH died in Iris 1, but also that there are talks he will return for casting. My guess is that they will need him for more shots, but he will just be dead.

Hyeonjin you're right about lot of people watching iris because of LBH, which means they have to (they must) bring him back to life :)) LBH is the best Korean actor :)

I think LBH's character will be on Iris 2. At the end of Iris, his character was shot, but I think it was only because they planned on filming Iris 2 when he would be filming G.I Joe. They are probably creating a spin-off so by the time Athena is complete, the original cast will be available for Iris 2. I don't think they'll remove him from Iris 2 since many people probably only watched the drama for LBH. If he's not in Iris 2, then there will probably be less viewers, and the company won't earn as much. They'll probably find him and save him.

He might be dead or they'll cast him so he can appear
in "flash back scenes" like how in the next harry potter
they're going to have to cast dumbledore again
