Iris

This series offers countless situations that left me breathless and brought tears to my eyes. I'm very happy with the overall cast. I don't think one can enjoy Byeong-heon Lee's incredible talent anywhere as much as here. The love and friendship storylines have incredible strength thanks to the first episodes. I can't find any negatives here and I could sing praises for hours. Still, words cannot describe the beauty. Beautiful music. 5 stars. (12.06.2012)

No miracles may have occurred, but I'm certainly not disappointed. The story is more tragic compared to the first one, but they didn’t always take full advantage of it. I would have liked more love scenes, a proper bro friendship, and a reason to root for NSS. Most of their characters were bland, with no personality. Da-hae Lee got off to a solid start, but after the 6th episode, it was like they pulled her off as the main character and put all the other female actresses in her place. Hyeok Jang seemed so real. Yeah, that's what I think a person who's been through something like this would look like. The hood, the way he walked, and the cold look on his face... I believed it. It's a paradox, but my favorite character ended up being the one I cursed first and foremost. And it was his fate that I found the most interesting of all. The music was mostly carried over from the first one, which I'm glad for. Even the few extra pieces were pleasing to my ears. This series doesn't have the same feel as the first IRIS, but it's still IRIS; and there was no shortage of scenes that knocked me on my ass and made my face wet. (20.05.2013)
