Iris’s profiler Kim Tae-hee

Now that big action drama Iris is about to premiere, here’s a look at Kim Tae-hee in new stills from the spy show, where she plays the country’s top profiler. As a member of the NSS (the national security agency), she develops romantic storylines with two of her colleagues, played by Lee Byung-heon and Jung Jun-ho. Actress Kim So-yeon rounds out the main love rectangle as a fellow spy.

This is Kim Tae-hee’s first drama in five years; after her 2004 series Love Story in Harvard, she attempted a jump to film with movies like The Restless and Venus and Mars, but both were flops and she was generally panned for the role. Now two years since her last screen performance, hopefully she has better luck here as part of a very solid ensemble cast; aside from Lee Byung-heon and Jung Jun-ho, it also includes Kim Seung-woo and TOP.

Iris is planned for 20 episodes with a budget of approximately 20 billion won, and premieres on KBS in October.

Is she considered pretty? If yes, let me take a wild guess that her acting will be panned. Her male counterparts' acting? Not so much.

hopefully she'll have her chance to prove that she's not another pretty-face actress, or else she can haul her @ss back to CF queen spot again. (heck, she's still earning millions, who am I to complain) =/

So excited about this drama since Swallow The Sun thoroughly disappointed me to no end. Was expecting lots of action and plot twist that boggles the mind like how All In and Story of A Man did, but Swallow The Sun is so full of overdramatics and no cliffhangers that I'm left with no anticipation for the next episode. Here you can guess I gave up the show after ep6. It got boring and while I found the actors were excellent and the set and directing pretty good .... the story just stank. Ending my rant on STS

Hoping IRIS won't disappoint me in terms of a good storyline, excellent acting (so many veteran actors so this shouldn't be a problem right?!!) and awesome directing. Give us action, mystery and all the plot twist you can do as long as it all makes sense in the end.

Hmm, I always though Kim Tae Hee had lots of fans. I thought she did an awesome job playing the ^&*# sister on Stairway to Heaven and the goody goody action heroine on Nine Tailed Fox. Avoided Love Story in Harvard for its bad English. Well, we'll just wait and see the drama to judge.

"especially she Replaced SonYejin ,"

I never thought that would happen though. Casting Son Yeh Jin would have been very expensive. Then again, I was surprised they were able to cast Kim Tae Hee (who actually was going to play Sujini in The Legend.) Again very expensive. I'm still surprised, with all the stars in this project, they had money left to shoot action scenes.

This project is closer to a win-win situation for Kim Tae Hee. There's really not the pressure to carry the show, since it is a thriller and it is loaded with stars. Second, it'll reconnect her with the international audience, so regardless of domestic ratings, her Hallyu status will bump up again. And if she does great, then it's career changing.

"Hmm, I always though Kim Tae Hee had lots of fans. I thought she did an awesome job playing the ^&*# sister on Stairway to Heaven and the goody goody action heroine on Nine Tailed Fox. Avoided Love Story in Harvard for its bad English."

She does, but she belongs to a different generation. Love Story in Harvard didn't have the phenomenal shelf life that, say, Full House still has.

"Swallow The Sun is so full of overdramatics and no cliffhangers that I’m left with no anticipation for the next episode."

STS gets pretty good about 2/3 into the show. A little late, but ehhhh better than never. :D

Eehh, 2/3 that's like so much to wait for. I have such short patience that I consider dramas that do not get better by ep4-6 as just plain boring. I mean if I see no potential for the drama in getting better, why continue. Geez, and I had high hopes for Ji Sung, Sung Yuri and Lee Wan. I think their talents were wasted in that show.

Hmm, same goes for Cain and Abel, WHY MY FAVORITE ACTORS So Ji Sub and Ji Sung disappointing me so much this year. I was highly anticipating both of their drama comebacks only to feel nothing about their projects.
