Reviews

herve cadet Too much drama, too much whimpering, too many close-ups, too many tiring zoom-in, too many onion tears, too many sad love songs, lame directing and acting, too long. So disappointing. Some real good actors though but the show is not up the expectations...

Leofwine_draca Review of Season One:IRIS was a massively popular South Korean TV series that took the form of a spy thriller. The film focuses equally on explosive and fast-paced action sequences along with numerous and complex character interactions along the way. I watched the first season of the show, which comprises of twenty episodes centred around Lee Byung-hun's put-upon lead character. The story jumps into the thick of the action from the word go and remains fast paced throughout, although I did think twenty episodes were a few too many. What surprised me was just how low budget the show feels. The requirement to stage regular fight scenes every episode means that the production has a cheap digital look at times, and one two or there bits of music which are repeated over and over again throughout the twenty episodes (pulse-pounding music during the action bits, a cheesy song during the romantic scenes). There is padding and there is melodrama and romance, but generally this is watchable, exciting fare. The director makes the most of his star's matinee idol looks and there are so many twists that you quickly lose count of them amid the mayhem. Think of a Korean version of 24 or SPOOKS and you'll be close, but IRIS is very much a product of its own nation and as such has a voice all its own.

ajcoffinmbo This has the same issue as every Korean television shows and movies - terrible writing. Fire your writers, get better writers.Doesn't matter what you do from beginning to middle - if the ending is horrible, the entire movie or television show is horrible.Learn to write good stories Korea.

canuckteach A stunning miniseries from South Korea about the 'NSS' (the South Korean Secret Service). Pardon me if I struggle with the character (or actor) names, but several performances are quite stunning. Character-development and -relationships are superb, irony occurs frequently, and there's plenty of action to match the slower sweet scenes showing the developing love-story between Choi Seung-Hee, the pretty female Service leader, and Kim Hyun-Jun, a stud recruit to the spy service. Talk about star-crossed lovers! They get separated, find each other, and then lose track of the existence of each other for months, but only after some very near connections. It's one of those: 'HEY! HEY! Look to your right - she's still alive... HEY! HEY.. Oh No..!' Unexpected sentimental stuff when you are are watching a cold-hearted spy & intrigue show.IRIS also features a 'cross-over' character {that's a term I invented, by the way, so credit me if you use it!}: a character who switches sides, for some reason, to aid the protagonist. Example: the cowboy who breaks free from the wealthy townfolk in 'SHANE' and rides out to warn SHANE about the pending ambush. In IRIS, it's a pretty North Korean agent who falls out of favor with her bosses, and joins Hyun-Jun in his quest to get to the bottom of this IRIS conspiracy (after a few attempts to kill him, of course).Also in the show is one of those super-assassin types, whose imminent presence is signaled by the camera focusing on his distinctive cowboy boots. Lots of fist-fights and shoot-em-ups to go with some well-staged car chases. Plenty of double-crosses and plot twists. It has everything U.S. network primetime action shows DON'T have. Like I said, run -- don't walk - to tune this thing in. I am writing this in early December: if you have down-time this month, add IRIS to the mini-series that will dominate your time, instead of clearing snow.
