IRIS starring Lee Byung Hun, Kim Tae Hee, Jung Joon Ho, Kim So Yeon, and T.O.P.
Kim Hyun Joon (Lee Byung Hun) and Jin Sa Woo (Jung Joon Ho) are college roommates and best friends when they are recruited into a top-secret organization known as the NSS. Hand-picked by Seung Hee, the agency's top profiler, the two quickly prove themselves and rise through the ranks. Along the way both men fall for Seung Hee – who only has eyes for one of them. When Hyun Joon is sent on his most dangerous and high profile mission yet in Hungary, he finds that he has been set up. Believing that everyone he cares about is either dead or a traitor, Hyun Joon goes on a quest for vengeance and discovers the inner-workings of the mysterious IRIS agency.

Hyun Joon was "killed" by Sun Hwa because she is crazy, just like in the beginning, and she was still in-love with Hyun Joon and didn't want Seun Hee and Hyun to be together. She could not get over the fact that they were still in love with each other. She was green with jealousy. That's why she shot Hyun

I guess i'll be the honest one and admit that i just watched this drama to see Choi seung hyun's acting.. and distracted by his death in episode nineteen. major let down, and a waste of time. nonetheless, in his part he probably gained ALOT of credibility due to what happened in the show, and fans were swarming in like hormone engulfed bees.

IRIS got such high reviews for too many reasons to list. But for starters, it's a thrilling, tightly paced, addicting drama. First off, this is well cast by a powerhouse of actors/entertainers; Lee Byung Hun, Jung Joon Ho, and T.O.P. (need I say more?) I found myself investing in the characters and growing increasingly interested in the choices they made that culminated in surprising twists and moral ambiguities. Thrilling, action-packed...and inherently romantic; the love story was essential to the storyline. Like many viewers already commented, the ending was plain BAD. No need for spoilers, but it is fair to tell you that the final scene was completely unnecessary and an overkill--pun intended. But don't let one bad scene (literally, the last few minutes of the show) spoil an otherwise excellent, tightly-paced drama. You'll enjoy watching this one--IRIS is highly recommended!

... pure action packed enjoyment :) One thought kept crossing my mind though... would a terrorist actually wear high heels? I wish I could comment on the ending but I wouldn't want to give anything away... I'll just say it leaves things open to interpretation :) VERY GOOD DRAMA!!!

Pluses: I first saw IRIS The Movie, so it was great to be able to fill in the blanks. The effort and budget put into the realization of this project and the fact that it was the first drama of its genre in Korea ----- Minuses: Many inconsistencies, subbing was not the best throughout. ----- Overall enjoyable especially episodes 1 to 3 and 14 to 20 ----- Initially gave it 3 stars put upped it to 4 ----- Worth a watch ----- I love the coroner, he is hilarious.
