IRIS TWO

IRIS 2, yes IRIS is back. I watch this a couple months ago. It was as good as IRIS one and ATHENA:GODDESS OF WAR. I watched this on Hulu but you can also watch it on Drama Fever.

In the comments some people were complaining about certain events and action that took place in the show. Even saying that such things didn't happen in IRIS one. I don't know what they were watching. To me this took many of the same story plots and elements and rearrange them from IRIS one. It also added more or expanding on ideas that were only a small part of IRIS one.
I realize when I write about these stories it's a bit vague but I don't want to put anything that would be a spoiler. People that let shows be "spoiled" for them can get very angry about the slightest thing. Also I rather you watch the awesomeness that is IRIS 2 yourself.

What I can tell you is that the main cast of IRIS is not in the show. In fact the story takes place three years after the events of IRIS. The NSS or the National Security Service has lost some of its power and is no longer a secret to the public anymore. What you can expect is the same as before, IRIS and it's operative always seem to be more skilled and ahead of the heroes. Again some complain about this in the comments. But if you think about it, it makes sense.
IRIS is created by powerful businessmen and politicians. They create these teams based on what they know about the enforcement agencies they may face. Think about it if you were a group with money and the capabilities of training or acquiring the best operatives to go against your enemy, and you knew inside information on your enemy. You would be able to have a team that would be able to out play your enemy most of the time. It's one of the reason I like this series because the bad guys are so good because they always have far more information about the good guys than the good guys have about them.

The hero of the story Jung Yoo-gun played by Jang Hyuk.

The NSS boss lady Choi Min played the sexy Oh Yeon SOO.

Ray played by David Lee McInnis played a good bad guy but I don't think he actually knows Korean or at least is good at speaking it. Then again that may have been a play to make the audience know how "American" he is.
