IRIS: Episodes 19-20 (Final)
by | February 21, 2010 | 71 Comments
I thought a long time about how I wanted to start off this last recap for IRIS: First off, I want to thank javabeans for giving me this opportunity to write a recap and contribute to her site. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity as an avid fan of her site and as a... More »

IRIS: Episode 18
by | February 11, 2010 | 10 Comments
Just when you thought things could only get better, it only drastically goes wrong. Why, you ask? Well, of course! – We have two more episodes! (I promise – two-episode recap next time!) Therefore – we need a few more problems and obstacles before we bring the series to an end. And so, let’s get... More »

IRIS: Episodes 16-17
by | February 1, 2010 | 22 Comments
I did say I was very hesitant to watch Episode 16 because of the spoiler that I saw in the previews, but it wasn’t as bad as I initially thought (more on that later, or skip to my comments section). Honestly, I think this series could end by episode 18, because it’s been unraveling so... More »

IRIS: Episodes 14-15
by | January 24, 2010 | 11 Comments
First off, I have to apologize – I have made several mistakes, in my last recap and before, which episode 14 made very clear. When Hyun Joon drops Seung Hee off after she’s released by the North Koreans, he drops her off at (his and) Sa Woo’s home – not hers. And secondly, when Mi... More »

IRIS: Episodes 12-13
by | January 16, 2010 | 21 Comments
Sorry for the delay! I watched the episodes a while ago, but then life happened. Anyways – on to episodes 12 and 13! Every episode rehashes old issues, but there’s always one new nugget of information that the writers drop like a single jellybean into my greedy hands. Weird analogy – sorry, but basically, I’m...

IRIS: Episodes 10-11

Congratulations to IRIS for all the awards won at the KBS Drama Awards! Whether they were well deserved or not, I have to give props to Kim Tae Hee for winning an Excellence Award in acting. She really sold her acting abilities to me by episode 8, and even more so by episode 10. I... More »

IRIS: Episodes 8-9
by | January 1, 2010 | 22 Comments
If I could title the episodes, episode 8 would be “Exposition,” and episode 9 would be “New Hairstyles, New Beginnings.” One note: I’m going to apologize for my inability to name some of the characters. I just figured them out today (late in the game, as I’m halfway through the series) but it’s hard for... More »

2009 KBS Drama Awards

Last one! The 2009 KBS Drama Awards were also held on December 31, and as with the other two station awards ceremonies, there weren’t a lot of surprises, particularly with the Daesang, which went to Lee Byung-heon. (Lee was outstanding in IRIS, but I think he practically had the Daesang in the bag even before... More »

IRIS: Episodes 6-7
by | December 23, 2009 | 12 Comments
I’m doing two episodes because IRIS has already ended, and I’m sure there are plenty of people who already know the ending. I, however, don’t – and therefore I’m trying to get there as fast as I can! These two episodes got this reaction from me: “Whoaaa…” And episode 6 DID prove to be much... More »

IRIS: Episode 5
by | December 19, 2009 | 24 Comments
I’m starting to feel that the episodes alternate between good, fast-paced forward movement with the story line, and then 1-2 draggy episodes. Episodes 1-2 were fine, even though they were hard for me to get through quickly. But they were the first two – Korean dramas usually need that many before getting more interesting, no?... More »
