I find Eps 11-14 great, just great!
I feel sorry for Yoo Gun. Everything horrible has happened to him. I hope the show will let him right the wrongs, n return to his job n his life b4 taking that shot to the head. But he’s no longer the same person.
He n gf haven’t spent any time together on screen. They need to be reconciled, n to comfort each other, esp. now that her bro has died.
I’m not a Jang Hyuk fan, but I can’t help but be impressed by the way he fights, like the Terminator! Those r some fancy n forceful kung-fu moves! I’m even more impressed by his acting in this show. I may be turning into a JH fan yet.
LeeDH’s acting on the other hand is rather lack lustre. She seems to think that looking like she hasn’t slept for days passes for sadness, confusion, having deep thoughts, etc.
I hate the NSS Director much more than the NK spies, even more than Ray, cos he is so petty n plotting vs his own for personal gain.
Nine is fun and refreshing. But this one is the best show airing right now IMO. Is that bcos viewers r mostly female n this is not nece s female oriented shows that the ratings the way they r?

Now that Rey is dead…as expected Yoo Jung Won took over as the team leader of Iris tho he’s got his own agenda why he became allied with Iris but he accidentally killed the mom of Yoo Gun so Yoo Gun been chasing him.Now it wud be the battle between Jung Yoo Gun and Yoo Jung Won..,sounds exciting~!What if they are really brothers?I love them cos they are both very clever just like Baek San.This drama is full of thrill and mystery and it keeps me from thinking who is Mr.Black. Hayz, it’s real hard to guess who is the real villain cos it seems that every one have their own agenda…
I just love this drama not becasue I’m a big fan of Jang Hyuk cos story wise this one has a great storyline plus great acting of JH and the fact that I like LBS as well
they are my most fave k-actors in their 40′s and so with Jung Woo Sung and Cha Seung Won!Well,so far I don’t get bored watching this drama.Only this drama lacks romance LOL!I don’t feel the chemistry between JH and LDH here unlike in Chuno but it’s fine maybe in later ep.Anyways,I had enuf romance after finished watching Daughter Seo Young.Plus there’s TWTWB,100yr inheritance and Incarnation Money haha!

…why is the rating dropping?:-( but reading comments i see that it is still interesting…:-)

I’ve already watched the Episode 15 of Iris 2 . But I can’t understand that Lee joon will be really spy or not of Iris .
April 6th, 2013 at 12:08 pm
In ep 14, the talk fr Dr. Oh abt Jang Hyuk’s char’s situation regarding the remaining bullet fragments in the brain really scare me. He said that he’ll undergo personality changes and become psychopathic. That’s one lead that makes me too nervous to watch. So I think I’ll wait a few more eps to see how things turn out for him. I hope things will work out for him, to have some resemblance of happiness and normality, much as possible.

So boring

Good drama, altho after watching 15 eps., there is some essential element missing that doesn’t keep me glued to the edge of my seat. I find I can walk away. The only time I connected was when Yoo Gun’s mother was killed. I like the action sequences & the methodical plotting of the story line, which is comprehensive, but can’t understand why it doesn’t excite me more. Maybe its becuz I can’t stand KSH’s acting. But that can’t be it as she is not in every scene. On the whole, I am enjoying it.

Iris 2 is a great drama that I really enjoy watching. It cannot really be compared with Iris because they are both different yet alike at the same time. Iris revolves around a character called Kim Hyun Joon who wants to get revenge on Baek San for murdering his parents, whereas the lead in Iris 2 who is Jang Hyuk, and also Baek San’s son, is trying to get revenge on the people who killed his mother and destroyed his life and will hopefully destroy Iris and catch Mr. Black, once and for all.
I really want to put my hands together for the cast, staff, producers and director for Iris s1 and 2. Even though most of them are not seen on screen, they play a big role in helping with every detail and mistakes in each scene. I thank you for filming and acting in this great drama series. Your sleepless nights did pay off in the end!!

anyone can give me the link to watch iris 2 or download link please

I just want to comment that I really liked Iris 1 better than Iris 2. The actors were great and really had good chemistry on screen. The love story was also believable. I also liked Athena, because it did not try so hard to copy Iris 1.
April 13th, 2013 at 10:13 pm
The actor and actress make it worth watching. Yoo Gun (Jang Hyuk) is a good choice for this role. Choi Min (Oh Yun Soo) fit in the role competently. Yoon Doo Joon (Seo Hyun Woo) and Kim Yeon Hwa (Im Soo Hyang) acted well too. Was touched in certain scene such the father (Baek San) and son (Yoo Gun) scene and the trust between Choi Min and Yoo Gun. The story is heavy, actor and actress look serious most of the time, the making of Iris 2 is never easy and the crew has put in their hard work and effort. I must give thumbs up to the actor and actress for the flighting scenes and those dangerous stunt.

YOO JUNG HUN (kim kap soo) IS MR. BLACK. BAEK SAN KILLED HIM IN IRIS 1 BUT ALIVE IN IRIS 2 -____-

Waiting for this to finish its run on 4.18 before watching the last 4 eps together. Less nervous that way. Hope things turn out well for Yoo Gun, who’s had so much bad luck in his life.

Ohh IRIS II…heavy and serious drama. But take note and take a look at Baek Sung Hyun act, make this drama fresh around serious scenes with his “stupid facial expression” (sorry)
Good Job. Do you agree with me?

oh God, epi 1 until 4, so tense. . . . neomu choaaaaa
May 11th, 2013 at 11:25 pm
Actually I’m one of Jang Hyuk’s fans. But lately all his drama make him dead at the end. Really what a sad thing, and I’m getting sick of it. ‘Chuno’, ‘Deep Rooted Tree’, and now the ‘Iris 2′. Cck…..cck….cck…..next time I’ll think it over before I watch his drama. -_-”. I love a happy ending story, I think most of us are like that.
