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.

The North Korean agents in IRIS two take their actions to whole different level.

I like the pictures of these two. ;)

We're Not Broke (2012)

We're Not Broke. This documentary talks about the about the American tax revenue system and corruptions. The truth of how it affect the individuals especially when big corporations don't pay taxes yet recieve the benefits of the American system.

The Atomic States of America (2012)

The Atomic States of America. President Obama and a number of politicians have said for years that nuclear power is GREEN. The craziest thing is there are people who believe this industry propaganda. This video speaks about the true state of nuclear plants in America.
After Japan one would think the politicians of America would wake up to the problems and threats this industry creates. Money, power, and status seems more important than the oath to protect against threats foreign and domestic.

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.)
