Just finished watching this drama. Didn’t really like it that much. Ji soo got on my last nerve, I hoped she died. The very ending from the moment the two sisters finally found each other till the ending credit was great. I thought one of them was going to die. Hope they make an iris 3.

if you like the iris dramas watch heartless city. it makes them look like a 5th grade turf war. and stars an evil korean james bond type.

Just finished watching it, partially in fast forward. Man, there are very, very good reasons why this drama’s ratings are so low, compared to Iris or even Athena. They must have spent all the budget on foreign shootings and underpaid the script writer. There are so many (so many!!!) holes in the plot/script that this is subpar even for a Korean spy thriller TV series. Listing all the holes will create a thesis. However, the last straw that tipped it over the top was the nuclear bomb tracking device that had LED flashing, as if it couldn’t wait to be spotted. At that point, I was rolling on the floor laughing. This is a very entertaining thriller/comedy indeed.

Can you please help me, where can i watch this series online?
I’m from Serbia and in my country second part of Iris haven’t came yet. 🙁 The previous part was great!
Thank you!

it’s a shame that this series did not do well in ratings as the first one. it’s actually good and worth watching. i cannot be comparing both series as i saw the first one a long time ago and i was totally impressed (being the first korean series i saw in this genre). i don’t think there should be an iris 3, after all in the closing scenes, the sisters who found each other would have other agenda than being supporters of their country.
