IRIS 2 begins shooting
by girlfriday
…film AND guns, as the case may be. Here’s a teensy taste of the first promo images from spy action sequel IRIS 2, with everyone in the cast doing their best action figure poses. They’re gearing up for a big international shoot starting next week, as per the franchise’s usual procedure, and this time they’ll be going to Hungary, Cambodia, and Japan, before bringing the story back home. It remains to be seen if IRIS 2 will actually break the dreaded sequel curse, but the cast sure is purty.
The show has locked in a broadcast slot following KBS’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama Jeon Woo-chi, which puts the premiere in mid-February. Though that seems like eons away, I can’t imagine it’s much prep time for a big-budget action series. The show will pick up three years after the end of IRIS, and the new Team NSS will be led by Oh Yeon-soo, who will make an awesome chief bossypants. She’s just badass in real life. Okay, I don’t really know that, but she SEEMS badass in real life.
Jang Hyuk, Lee Da-hae, and Yoon Doo-joon will be the lead field agents and the primary love triangle, while Lee Beom-soo joins the North Korean side led by the always-awesome-even-if-the-show-is-not Kim Seung-woo. There’s just something weird about this franchise, ’cause Team North Korea is always cooler than South, and so far, the casting doesn’t look like it’s going to change that up anytime soon. Kim Young-chul reprises his role as Baek San, as part of the baddie organization IRIS, and Im Soo-hyang plays an IRIS assassin.
Based on the roles they cast, it seems like it’s going to stick to your garden variety more-of-the-same installment. If it follows in Athena’s footsteps, it’ll be more like less of the same, but maybe the third time’s the charm? The countdown begins now.
IRIS 2 premieres February 13 on KBS.

It's a plague. Korean producers are unafraid to compromise the quality of their products in order to cash in on the popularity of idols as much as possible.

Is he even a popular idol? I don't follow Kpop so I'm clueless when it comes to newer groups. My best guess is that there was some sort of bundling deal that was negotiated - i.e. if you want a certain actor, you have to cast another from the same agency as well.

Maybe so. But then acting agencies would have to be pushing idols over dedicated actors for a reason. Idols sell.

Isn't it a bit unfair to not give him a chance? Granted, I'm a bit biased due to my interest in kpop, but his acting doesn't seem bad, at least according to all his MV appearances and sitcoms. I believe this is his actual drama. Who knows, he might surprise us like how the rookie cast of AM1997 did.
Also, just to answer a few questions: yes, Beast is popular; they're not a new group, as they debuted in 2009; I don't think he's part of any "bundling deal", as none of the other actors/actresses are even remotely from his company.

Slothus
November 22, 2012 at 12:06 PM
I would be a lot more comfortable with him had he been cast in a more appropriate role. Competing with Jang Hyuk for Lee Da-hae, as a peer? How absurd. There is a massive gap there that reasonably good rookie acting can't possibly overcome. But of course, I will do my best to overlook his shortcomings while watching the drama.

Yet another idol pushed in front of the camera to stumble about and "learn his craft" while we sit and squirm, all in the name of bringing in the money and the fangirls. Sigh. This is the thing I detest the most about kpop - that somehow, because they can somewhat sing and dance, it's just assumed that they will be talented actors, as well. With no training, and no experience, beyond those minute-long spots shilling beer or chicken or cellphones.
I don't mind having idols in the shows that are supposed to be all about newbies - like the Dream High or Flower Boy franchises - no one has expectations for excellent acting, it is just a pleasant surprise when it actually happens. But this is supposed to be a serious drama, with top production values, lots of talent - well, obviously, up to a point. Obviously the Achilles heel for Korean drama - the idol who can supposedly bring in the cash.

Korean drama has many heels. Product placement becoming the focus, fangirls dying for melo and pretty-boys, the live filming system etc. The whole mindset and gangster-ish cold way of running the industry needs to change before any of those will let Korean drama be more than modern soap-operas.
I'm hoping the good dramas that do come out once in a while and do get good ratings will be a good example, but money is money and sure money is all these people want.

Spies with Guns are Hot. but, I can't help thinking this sequel is eons to late. Why can't can't they just come up with a new concept instead of riding on the IRIS franchise coattail.
Regardless, I will still tryout the first couple of episodes to see if it's worth continuing. I did generally enjoy Iris and Athena, although I can't say I was really invested in both that much. It was just fun and exciting, without the feel that I'm watching anything new. (I get the feeling of been there, down that)

Yoon Doo-joon is a potential weak link. He would seem to be too young for his tentative role and isn't in the same league as the other leading actors. Hopefully he doesn't ruin what should be one of the best dramas ever (owing mostly to Jang Hyuk, Kim Seung-woo, and Lee Da-hae).

Yes it is and I am interested - I know he wanted to be an actor, not a singer, and I remember him doing a decent enough job in Ninja Assassin but that was before I really knew who he was - so I'm looking forward to an opportunity to see him in something more than a variety show or concert footage. He IS goofy and can DO intense but let's see if he can act that way for a sustained period of time :) Go Joon! Aja! Aja!

But yeah, I am also interested in seeing him act! I never got to see more than a scene or two of Ninja Assassin, but he seemed to do a decent job in that. If I do end up watching this, it will probably be partially due to him. And, yunno, an interesting plot. Lol.

Pretty cast... Tempting... Very tempting... I might watch it because Lee Joon is in it. I mean, I have no problem admitting that the only reason why I watched IRIS way back when was because TOP was in it. Damn, he was so good at playing villain I had wished they didn't kill him so they could make a spin off series or something. I seriously was rooting for the bad guy during IRIS, TOP screws my brain hahah... Whatever happens in IRIS 2 is remained to be seen. I hope this won't turn out to be disappointing. I mean, you got guns and one hell of a pretty cast list - don't mess this up drama!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's in this for the eye candy, lol. I didn't see IRIS, and I only read recaps for Athena, but Lee Joon and Doojoon are my first idol-loves, (though I don't stan them as much now), so I'll watch this for them. The rest of the cast sweetens the deal by a lot, but I haven't actually seen any of their shows (blasphemy, I know, but I don't have much free time) so I can't say they're particularly influencing my decision here haha

I don't think anyone takes Iris seriously as a drama, it's there more for the pretty than for the substance to be honest so why not enjoy the show for the pretty.

agreed. I can't quite put a finger on it, but Da-hae's face never seems to *move* enough to convince me she's doing anything more than attempting to look haughty, or alternately, fragile.
It's like she's got Zoolander's-one-look that has different names...Blue Steel or LeTigre. hehee. ;)

That drama would rock, if they did stick to their guns and didn't go all melo fragile creatures after a few episodes, with the guys turning into heroes of comfort and security.
There are some nice examples of strong female characters in kdrama too, but if 'IRIS' is anything to go by, this won't be the case here. I'm at episode 5 and the agent who is the friggin' leader of her group has been doing nothing other than looking pretty and vulnerable and crying and worrying.
So yes, I can see this happening here too. All the guys will be fighting over their testosterone quota and all the girls will be fighting to keep their hair pretty and make up perfect while they kick people in high heels in-between having prolonged "vulnerability attacks". :P

A love triangle??? Again??? Is that really all you can come up with?? Please drama concentrate more on the spy action unless you want to be as boring as your "Hyung".
The most annoying of IRIS was the love triangle! Whenever second lead guy or the lead actress were on screen i sure couldn't stop to roll my eyes. That's why I skipped those parts and went directly to the last three episodes. Well some of the badass action was pretty good... But i can't help to think: Good Lord why was this drama rated so high?
I guess I can live without an IRIS 2. Thaaank you...

After watching the disappointed Athena, I thought action spy drama would never appeal me again. But anything Janghyuk always gets me up my seat. Hopefully this is going to be as badass and good (or even better) than first IRIS. And hopefully they will clear up some unfinished business from IRIS 1. If they are going to make this into IRIS 2 as the description says (and not some totally the same title but with completely different story like what they did in Athena), they better find connection to LeeByunghun's and Kim Seo Yoon's character.

From the poster you would actually think the love triangle/square would be between Oh Yeon Soo - Jang Hyuk - Lee Da Hae - Lee Bum Soo = Are the makers trying to trick us into thinking that ?!! LOL.
I totally get the apprehension and "WHY ?!!!" with the casting of Doo-joon as the second lead in this triangle but I'm hoping that the love angle is kept at a minimum & won't be of too much importance to the show *fingers-crossed*.

I'm watching Chuno at the moment, so I've grown to like Jang Hyuk and Lee Da-hae. The others I don't recognize, though I probably have seen before. And I'm willing to give the idol a chance. He may surprise us. Tentatively looking forward to this.

You're not alone.
Like I said, what's IRIS w/o TK1?
This is basically just another ATHENA. I'm very apprehensive. Some people criticize Kim Tae Hee as a mediocre actress, but it's not as if Lee Da Hae is phenomenal either. I really would have rather had Kim Tae Hee back and continue on their storyline to solve TK1's death.
We need closure dammit.

I'm not the only one who read the movie poster as "IRISH", right? I mean ... I was kind of jazzed that there was a korean movie about Ireland ... before I realized that I had it totally wrong.

Hm, let me guess the plot:
1) Jang Hyuk as roguish, ultra badass with slightly bumbling personality spy
2) Lee Da Hae playing one of the bad guy masquerading as the good guy/vice cersa who then gets conflicted between love and professionality
3) Oh Yeon Seo doing her best M impersonation, who may or may not betray her organization as a last ditch plot "twist"
C'mon IRIS crew, you're not doing anything remotely interesting here. Between 2009 and today, the world's seen higher quality action on TV (Homeland, Sherlock, etc) you should learn a thing or two.
Love triangle? MEH to the nth degree.

i enjoyed Iris but the main lady lead in iris was too soft. now in iris II, they are putting a soft lady in a strong role again. phew! don't hike up your hopes, ladies. in fact, i prefer the second leading lady in iris. she was much cooler. i am also wondering why they need to insert idols into their drama; reading your comments, now i kindda understand. idols can't really act. for iris, the idol selected was cool in his action but when it came to lines delivery, it was delivered weirdly. just my two cents, TOP fan, no offense intended. yes, he was good, but still lots of room for improvement.

Can't stomach Yoon Doojoon tbh! I love Im Soohyang and Kim Seungwoo though! And good spy dramas are always welcome.

the reasons IRIS2 worth to watch are Kim Seung Woo and Lee Beom Soo in it. so disappointing Kim So Yeon and Kim Min Jong not joined... I hope there's still Athena 2 and focus on Kim Seung Woo , Kim Min Jong and Kim So Yeon (Triple Kim) they awesome in Athena ..
