Ok, I understand the negativity regarding Kim Tae Hee because even I admit her acting is pretty bad (but improving!), but what is wrong with Son Yeh Jin? She would’ve been perfect IMO.

LBH and Kim So Yeon are such great actors. Kim Tae Hee is a pretty awful casting choice (Son Yeh Jin wouldn’t have been any better). Kim So Yeon can hold her own and they needed an actress with enough talent to go against her. Instead they picked KTH. Wow. Waste of money hiring her. And TOP?…at least he looks the part.

Nothing wrong with Kim Tae Hee, although I would’ve preferred Son Yeh Jin who was originally cast before pulling out, but IRIS can’t fail and it won’t fail

…. WOW @ first LBH picture. Can we say Guns?

In this era of slender pretty boys, I am so ready to welcome this project of MEN and WOMEN. (Not that I haven’t been enjoying those pretty faces). Lee Byungheon and Jung Junho…I can imagine them as charming and smooth Bond-like men with special brand of humor in this espionage setting. I also liked that they cast Kim Soyeon, whose only memorable role to me, was from All About Eve. That role as a do-or-die conniving B* was maybe her most shining moment. I like to hope she pulls in that grit again while holding a gun. As for Kim Taehee, I’ve never paid attention to her acting (I quit Love Story in Harvard mid-way), but I am always amazed at her beauty. I hope she has been working hard on her acting skills between her busy CF schedules, otherwise the better actors will be carrying her and the drama. TOP? He already has the look of an assassin, and acting stiff and nonchalant is natural to him, isn’t it? So I’m not worried about him.

Overall, IRIS looks like it will be a good one.

The only thing that somewhat gives me doubt is Kim Taehee. I don’t know. She’s not a very strong actress so I’m not sure if she’ll carry out this role well since she’s one of the main. On the other hand, I might just watch it because of Kim So Yeon and T.O.P. Lol.

I looooveee LBH (tried to drag every single friend I knew to watch G.I Joe with me) and Jung Jun Ho, and Kim So Yeon was okay in Gourmet. Not really feeling the rest of the cast though, so I’m probably in the minority when I say that I’m not remotely interested in the possibly overhyped IRIS. That said, the screenshots look good, though, kind of reminiscent of the high octane Quantum of Solace :O Maybe I’ll catch it anyway just to see LBH dripping sweat and waving a gun around, LOL.

Ohhhhhhh, I love LBH. He is one of the most charismatic actor ever. I watched GI Joe just for him. The movie was full of action and didn’t made much sense but LBH was awesome in it. He’s definitely a badass. Can’t wait to watch IRIS. LBH made Gi Joe watchable and he wasn’t the main lead, so I have no doubt IRIS will be great.

I remember first seeing LBH in All In and can’t believe at first that he’s a Korean coz most actors I have watched before him are all fair skinned and has that pretty boy look but then, after finishing the series, needless to say I’ve become a fan and have seen almost all his works….and now will greatly anticipate seeing him again on small screen…

Lee is a charismatic man….I can’t seem to get over him.
