This Drama is Bad. Lee Byung Hun is at his best in action packed movies. I have not seen his American movies, but saw previews and it was awesome. Iris is full of action, excitement, suspense and Romance. It will definately hit top of the charts. I am anxiously waiting for episode 9. Although no subs, but it’s okay because this movie is awesome.
