OMG! YES!

i grew tired of IRIS.
i was really enthusiastic when i watched ep 1 and was screaming to my friend about how exciting it is how much it was similar to an action-packed movie.
(while i was IRIS-ing i kept to YAB too)

but then i watched on, and it tires me out.
i don’t even have the motivation to watch it anymore.
spoilers here, but i just waiting for the scene where top will kiss the female comp hacker working in NSS.

YAB is more of the choice for me.
for 8 weeks i waited like crazy for the drama.
lol.
i don’t get whats the big woo-ha about IRIS.
its just like the thunder’s super loud, but the it ends up to just a drizzle.
perhaps i just expected too highly of this drama that it disappoints me after i watched it.

Agree with all the comments mentioned above – I’m SORT OF enjoying the drama as I watch it, but it doesn’t give me the sense of eagerness and urgency to watch as compared to well, You’re Beautiful.

I converted from watching live IRIS to YAB instead during IRIS ep 3, somehow it is unable to grab my attention. It’s quite strange because I usually prefer this genre to those romance comedy.

It’s just my opinion, but maybe you all could give YAB a try too, the storyline is more refreshing there! As for IRIS, I guess I will watch it after all the hype is over and the whole series has released, but then again, I love the actions and stuff, but hope I won’t get bored watching it if it gets repetitive? |:

I have to disagree with the majority- I actually enjoy this drama. Maybe it’s because I started later and I heard the disappointment around me before I even started the series. Maybe it’s because I haven’t watched a “spy” TV series in a while, or maybe it’s because I don’t have any personable and good dramas I’ve watched lately. (I haven’t watched YB yet…I mean Smile, You and My Fair Lady weren’t the most congruous dramas I’ve watched). Watching this drama is a nice change from the disorganization that these dramas had in being too personable. Yes, it’s way on the opposite side of the spectrum but I feel like this is a good pacing in the world of k-dramas. It’s slick, organized, and is a thriller. If I wanted something to laugh and cry with, I’d go look for another drama. The plot could have been better, but so far, it’s not a disappointment.

P.S. Javabeans- Have you decided if you’re going to continue recapping this series?

I agree with your assessment so far: I’m enjoying Iris, but part of me thought it would be a lot better. I’ve been watching it when I’m bored or have nothing better to do.

Surprisingly enough, I found Episode 4 to be the weakest episode. There was too much rehashing of what we’d seen in Episode 1, and they wasted time unnecessarily when they could have been getting to the good stuff (seriously–was it *really* necessary to show him removing a bullet??). I’m interested to see what your take on those episodes will be…

I really did have high hopes for this drama, especially with LBH and the hype, but i agree 100% with javabeans, it’s seems too slick…and I’m not able to connect to any of the characters. I may end up having to just check out Top’s parts for some Big Bang eye candy. I just love me some Top.

I guess it’s unfair to compare such diff dramas, but I wish more people would watch You’re Beautiful…it just a bummer Iris is getting such a huge pie of the ratings when You’re Beautiful is sooooo-ooo friggin FANTASTIC…not that Iris deserves less, i’m just feeling that You’re Beautiful deserves more.

I’m enjoying watching IRIS but not eagerly waiting for the next episodes and though I could watch ep. 3 & 4 I’m not jumping on it. I’m enjoying watching it primarily because its one of the very rare kdrama my husband is watching with me. He usually watches saeguks and only ones like Jumong. It has been fun drinking beers and eating dried squid together with our PJs on. He thinks it is overall better than I do. He kept commenting how far kdramas have come since Autumn tales and Stairways to heaven while I’m smiling. Haha he is still stuck on kdrama 2.0 and it already like kdrama 4.0 now.

LBH’s acting always takes my breath away. I’ve never been into LBH as a “mine” category but like Kim Myung Min, he always manages to captivate and mesmerize me in all his movie and kdrama roles.

The thing I don’t like, is really the story or maybe even the action sequence because its just not particularly fresh. I’m never really tense or really involved in the plot. I think I would be hanging off the chair, the beer and squid forgotten if the story or action sequence was more unexpected. This is how I felt about the first Bourne Identity movie. The fight scenes were different and the car chase scene was done so well and of course the melancholy of a man alone was done poignantly.

I’m going to keep watching IRIS but it didn’t turn out the way I thought it should but so far exceeded what I expected from it if that makes sense.
