IRIS
Iris is a Kdrama that I watched on Hulu. This show is very good. I couldn't stop watching once I started. I had to watch it in three to five hour shifts. The acting is superb. The production value of the show is amazing. The scenes around the world are beautiful. They make you want to go visit these places. Maybe they should use this show for travel brochures. Yah this is a bad ass show.
(this guy just looks bad ass throughout the complete twenty episodes.)
Basically IRIS about a guy that does an assignment that isn't sanctioned by the state. Those that sent him attempt to kill him to cover that fact. The show starts here as he seeks revenge. The story is heavy in the politics of North and South Korea reuniting.
It's suppose to be loosely based on the Korean move Shiri. I saw this movie sometime back but don't remember it well enough to compare.
If you like love stories mixed with burned spies and political intrigue you should go to HULU and give this show a try. It will be worth it.
Part two is suppose to come out next year. As well as a spin off soon. I believe the spin off is called ATHENA:GODDESS OF WAR... that name alone would make me watch. (I love the idea of that Goddess. Something to write about in another blog.)
