Hope they cast Han Ye Seul, or kim ha nuel!! haha, then also kang ji wan...so its like my gf is an agent incorporated into IRIS...lol...cant wait!

Jeon Ji Hyun, YES, please. That cast would be stellar! *___* But hey, wasn't she supposed to be the lead in the remake of Zettai Kareshi? Oooh what happened to that project?

squeeeeee

i say, intelligently

word on jun ji hyun tho!

Goood morning, lovermens, sounds like HHS squee club grew exponentially overnight whilst I slept and dreamt this was all a dream. But it's not. So..... Oh. Hell. Yes. So happy, thanks for the early script belleza!

If SYJ is cast it with be A Moment to Kickass, if JJH is cast it will be Kickass Daisy, if KSA is cast it would be the City Hall of Assasins. God, thisnis going to be my obsession for the next year!

Hahah, omg, guys, now I feel ancient. Not even old, ancient!! This why I rarely check omona even though I love LJ *clings to dramabeans*

@djes and everyone

dvds are your safest bet. If an external HD fries, just like mine did a few years ago, you might have a minor nervous breakdown. I lost so much stuff...and it was mostly work-related. I wanted to cry.

DEFINITELY GOING TO WATCH THIS, and Jung Woo Sung got me sold. Hmm. Son Ye Jin? But she's busy with another film this summer, right? Tsk, too bad. Him and her look effin' awesome together.

@ djes

did the omona kidlets say JWS was in Daisy with Song Hye-kyo? LOL, it was the sassy girl herself Jun Ji-hyeon, which spawned a lot of Giordano ads afterwards. the scenary in Amsterdam was to die for as well!

IRIS 2 can involve nothing except them two fondling their guns and I will watch.

Wow, fantastic male lead stars. I'm hoping that they will cast Kim So Yeon again. Looking forward to Iris 2 later this year!!!!

*reads Omona* Oh. How... disappointing. I consider Jung Woo Sung and Cha Seung Won my ahjusshis and yet, some people my age don't know them? But at least some of them do.

And also, I haven't seen Iris yet, so is this sequel related to the first? (But I really will watch Iris anyway, just keeping my expectations low.)

phewww! they didn't cast KSW.
for the female leads i want HJW and JJH(i've seen her movie and she can kick a** )
Please cast it right and don't base it on beauty.

@ djes

I knew you must know, those kids! Haha, tho come to think of it, SHK and JJH actually have very similar features, esp. after SHK lost her babyfat from her AIMH and All In days. Worlds Within SHK and Daisy JJH look alike, perhaps some justification for the confusion.

Still, not knowing who JWS and CSW are, makes me giggle bc it means more for us to love!

I think (just my opinion) the female lead role is not Han Chae-young , it's OK who the lead is.

They need to bring back KTH and KSY back from Iris I to tie up the loose ends. That last eps had so much issues to clear up. And, who is Mr. Black?

please.. no more KTH. i can't watch her w/ CSW and JWS. that's just torturous. they CAN'T do that!!!

KSY, they can bring back.

WOOT! WOOT! Is seriously the only reaction I have to this news. Haven't dived into Iris but it is on my playlist. Loving the lead actors already. Hopefully, with the announcement of these men's names will garner an actress that is both beautiful AND great actress.

Super news.....BUT....why has Cha Seung Won to play the bad guy :(

He is my hero *^^*
He should be the good guy....snifff

I am still hoping that this will be with Son Ye Jin. I mean, I absolutely loved Jung Woo Sung & Son Yejin in 'A Moment to Remember' and I've been anticipating for them to work together again. I know that she already signed on a comedy with Lee Min Ho but I think that raps up before June and if she's willing, I hope she considers IRIS 2! AHH!

So exciting. I also wouldn't mind seeing Ha Ji Won into this mix.

@ ockoala
"IRIS 2 involve nothing except them two fondling their guns and I will watch."

Hear, hear! :P

And if Joo Jin Mo is added TV and computer screens across the globe will melt from the Triple Real Men Hotness overload. *thud*

Hey, how about Han Jung Soo after he's finished with Prosecutor Princess? *double-thud*

Just no Kim Tae Hee, Han Ye Seul, or Han Chae Young, PLEASE. *gives offering to kdrama gods* ;)

@ hjkomo

Joo Jin-mo.......drooooooool. Okay, we've got to stop, I've been mentally hyperventilating all day still.

I think with JWS-CSW on board, IRIS 2 will not have a hard time filling out the rest of the roster with talented and hot actors/actresses. These two can convince me they are Nigerian princes that need a quick Western Union wire.

@ skelly

Hear, CSW as the Big Bad is awesome, I cannot wait to love to hate him and hate to love him. If KSA is the female lead, I want a love triangle btw JWS-KSA-CSW, and producers you hear me now, make it happen!!!

OMG!!!!!
I LOVE Jung Woo-sung!! He has the most beautiful eyes, EVER!
He made Daisy the breathtaking beauty of a film that it is. HE did it!

I'm so thrilled at these news!
And Cha Seung-won, no one does sexy and smouldering as well as him (and well, Johnny Depp... and Kim Nam Gil ).

(Goes off to perform happy dance! Let the squeefest begin!)

I'd really hope for

1) Ha Ji Won to take on the female lead
2) Son Ye JIn ( if she's available knowing she's already busy shooting Personal
Taste and th upcoming project with JDG. )

Please have Kim Sop Yeon back but but but.................

DEFINITELY NOT KIM TAE HEE PLEASE. She's real pretty...but in regards of acting.....i would rather see her pretty face in the short CF.

I agree JWS+KSA+CSW= would be a magnificent team up. No doubt that KSA will have a good chemistry with this two lovable actors. She`s beautiful, very sexy and an excellent actress. I wish it will be her!
I just can`t wait to see them in action. This drama is like Face off, 2 best actor on the lead role...it will be a blast!

I may have to re-assess my selection for female lead. JWS's last pairing was with a demure Jun Ji-hyeon in Daisy. But with sexy, sultry JJH, and her star power, IRIS 2 could be the biggest Hallyu export of all time.

Apparently this Giordano ad was too hot for Korean TV:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG2w0ZaErwE

All I know is, hawt!

I re-watched "Windstruck" today and it just dawned on me. Jeon Ji Hyun would be one badass agent next to Jung Woo-sung ... They were great together in Daisy.... I hope she is the main actress. I don't see anyone better then her for this role!!!!!!

"And if Joo Jin Mo is added TV and computer screens across the globe will melt from the Triple Real Men Hotness overload. *thud*"

Yeah, if they cast Joo Jin Mo, might as well call the show "Iris 2: Beast Men in Suits", a retelling of Chuno with BMWs and martinis, shaken not stirred.

"But with sexy, sultry JJH, and her star power, IRIS 2 could be the biggest Hallyu export of all time."

And how. Iris 2 would just drip sexuality. Everybody would be perpetually sweating, even if they're in a frigid elevator on top of a mountain in Switzerland, being imprisoned by Dr No.

But, yeah, give me my My Sassy Kick Ass / A Moment to Kickass / What Kicked Ass in Bali / My Lovely City Hall of Kick Ass.

My best Cast

Kim Hyun Joo - The Intelligence
Cha Seung Won - The Bad
Kim Jung Eun - The Naive
Jung Woo Song - The Good
Kim Sun Ah - The Kick Ass

@ skelly #23

The thought of Kim Sun-ah and Cha Seung-won as 'bitter enemies' who are strongly attracted to each other. Dear GOD!!!! You are right " The atmosphere would crackle ...." with sexual tension. KSA to CSW "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

Wow, this thread is still going strong.

I love KSA and CSW to team up as hall enemies and JJH and JWS re-growing daisies, then cracking in a JJM for a love pentagon.

JWS should be paired with JJH. He plays a good agent (see he is going to get typecast after TGTBTW) and she plays the kickass baddie in CSW's special task force team, sweating, long blowing hair, wearing tight leather, 4 inch heels, beating men with "her touch me and you'll die" stare. JJH was JWS's dongseang before she went on to the darkside due to a dysfunctional family comprised of an evil stepmother who forced her to eat olives when she hated them. The word "olive" throws her into a mad killing frenzy.

CSW has a body and flair for clothes so I think he will look hot. I just don't want his eyebrows to be too thin. HJW who is a workaholic/nerd NSS officer with intelligence to burn respect in men and killer sword fighting to cut your heart into slivers while its still beating. CSW went to bad side because he lost his younger brother due to a lack of universal state insurance coverage. HJW was the top of her class and never had a bf due to a sever overbite in HS that got fixed with braces in college. CSW was in older class and had a softspot for her because she was always getting bullied for being too smart and unattractive.

In showdown where JWS will have to kill JJH he will whisper tenderly to her as he pushes back her sweating long hair:

"Love doesn't lead to the dark side you fool. Passion can lead to rage and fear but passion is not the same thing as love."

The whole thing is play on being star crossed lovers and everyone drinking poison, kissing and dying in one tragic crop circle.

"Yeah, if they cast Joo Jin Mo, might as well call the show “Iris 2: Beast Men in Suits”, a retelling of Chuno with BMWs and martinis, shaken not stirred."

Would you then create a new world record for simultaneous miraculous conceptions in one womb? :P

@ hjkomo, belleza

"simultaneous miraculous conceptions in one womb"

Nay, ladies, I think it would be "simultaneous miraculous conceptions in MULTIPLE wombs." See, my uterus would also suddenly conceive sextuplets and I would spend the next three months having massive morning sickness whilst watching episodes of ATHENA and giggling like a mad fool.

@ nycgrl

I love your storyboard, let's make it happen!

@nycgrl

I LOVE IT!!! now get that over to the story writers and make it happen. like NOW!!!

Han Chae Young . i hope so

@ andy

If they cast Han Chae-young, her boobies would become weapons of mass destruction for the Terrorist Org. ;-)

holy smokes! look at these responses! it's like OT thread in the middle of the week :)

@nycgrl - i giggle at your storyline, too funny!

@ockoala - lol at han chae-young comment. she can be like the machine girl :)

Oh my, I just realized Jung Woo Song is the same height as Cha Seung Won. They're both 186cm. I thought Song Il-Kook was tall, these men are even taller.
They will need female leads like Han Go Eun, Han Chae Young, or maybe all 3 ladies from A Man Called God, in this sequel, LOL.

Ha Ji Won, Jeon Ji Hyun, and Kim Sun Ah. Hell to the yeah.

Didn't watch "Iris", but already liking this better b/c of the casting (LBH just annoys me).

Are CSW's brows back to normal after being overly "shaped" (I'm guessing/hoping it was for some role) for much of last year?

Blame it on lack of sleep and too many billable hours crunched into one night. I really need to drink some beer and be massaged like a kobe beef cow.

of course the best female actress ever that would look great with csw and iwh is kim sun ah. she is irresistable. she could do action, melodrama, comedy, she,s the sexiest and her aura have surrounding all of us for years.. and she is the number one korean actress in japan. her acting is the best among all. what;s more that you want to ask for. just grab the perfect and high standard woman kim sun ah and put her beside high standard man csw and jwh

overall i have watch many korean drama and i.m totally agree if kim su ah becomes the lead female actress. she could be bold, haugthy, sexy and full of seductness in this drama. she could the add of mystery and could make viewer;s heart flutter to its maximum level.

only she could fill the in blank perfectly. she have it all. height, sexy body, best acting.
and the most important thing is she is the most flexible actress in korea. she is the only one that has played all kinds of character from nice and naive girl, full of action policewoman, cold hearted person in yesterday, complex and scary woman in kim sam soon..it is the fact that she;s the best. actress as perfect as her is rarely found you know...

i agree, Kim Sun Ah will be the best person for the lead.. she will look great among the guys and her acting is most believable. i hope my dream will come true and i'm able to see her in this drama...

I`m a teenager, but I`m drooling with these men! My father has the same age with CSW. They are both tall and masculine. I think the reason why I admire CSW is because like my father his also a good father to his children. Anyway, love him in CH and I`m excited with his new drama.
I think the missing piece of the puzzle would be KSA, to complete the casting of Athena. Nothing would go wrong if KSA would be the lead actress.... acting, beauty, height. I cannot name one thing she cannot do.

The two main male leads are the best out there in Korean movies and dramas. Both are a sight to behold – the height, the built and the manliness they exude. Not to say the least that they are actors who CAN ACT! Their artistic skills have been rightfully proven in the the movies they have acted on. JWS in Moment to Remember, Daisy. CSW in A Day With My Son, Blood Rain.

For the lead actress, she should be physically and artistically at par with the male leads. One who is tall and lean, exudes sexiness, confidence, charm, toughness and strength; one who can hold her own in the acting department – drama and action (and comedy in between won’t harm.) Top of my mine, Kim Sun Ah.

Kim Tae Hee? She got the face but talent? She leaves me wanting.
