Thoughts about IRIS!
Actually, I was a bit disappointed about Iris. :( My expectations from the drama was really high because I've heard a lot of praises and to think that Iris was the most expensive drama that ever produced in Korea. But... no! It didn't met the expectations I was looking for in a drama like this. :(
Yeah, the locations, props, effects was great; but the storyline... I was a bit disappointed with it. Also with the cast. :|
First disappointment: I HATE THE LOVE STORY PART. WHY? Because Kim Tae Hee's character was kinda overrated for me! Duuuh! Why can't she be over Hyun Jun?! I really those kinds of character that's why I like Sun Hwa more to end up with Hyun Jun! And Seung Hee to end up with Sa Woo.
Second disappointment: I EASILY GUESSED WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. No thrill for me. I easily guessed who were the good-turn-bad people in the drama. There was no shocking revelation for me throughout the drama which made me more disappointed to think that it is expected from this kind of plots.
Third disappointment: THE DRAMA ISN'T FOCUSED ON IRIS. The drama was merely somehow an introduction of the secret organization IRIS! Half of the drama was just about Hyun Jun's way to Korea. Although this drama will have a sequel, still. They should've focused more on IRIS. :|
Fourth disappointment: T.O.P WHERE ART THOU? T.O.P was supposed to be one of the main character and to spice the twist up but WHERE ARE YOU T.O.P?! It's like T.O.P was only there to assassinate someone and he's gone again. There was no twist regarding him or created by him. And he was a top assassin! And he will just die like that? He didn't even fight back when Hyun Jun was beating him! Damn that.
Hayy! But then, Lee Hyun Bin's acting was really really spectacular! 2 thumbs up for his acting! Aaaah! I was really moved and touched by his acting! And also the other casts! The acting was really awesome but their characters sucks. :(
THE ENDING WAS.... UGH. But I accidentally read a spoiler regarding the ending and the upcoming sequel! AT LAST THERE WAS A REAL TWIST THAT SHOCKED ME BIGTIME!What I read made me more excited about the spin-off and the upcoming sequel! I wasn't really that excited to watch the spin-off and actually thinking not to watch it anymore (Athena: Goddess of War) even though Siwon was there :-"... but at last there was something that made me excite to watch Athena! Hail to KIN SUN HWA! :> She's my favortite character! Although......... nevermind. :)) Spoileeeerrrsss! :))))
If you want to watch it.. then go! But this wasn't the drama I will recommend for people to watch. Not unless if you are really a fan of action scenes! [Btw, action scenes here are great! Just like Hollywood action movies!] :)) I'll rate this one 3.5/5. Plus .5 for T.O.P's hotness and Kim So Yeon's heroine chick power! :D
