my first impression was just that...it was so /boring/. complete snoozefest tbh.

I could barely sit through the first two episodes of Iris 2, which sucks because I LOVED Iris 1 and really wanted to love Iris 2.

does anyone know which ep her cameo is?l would love to watch it just for her.

Finally a reason to watch IRIS2!!! I watch (with the help of the ever reliable fast forward) until episode 6 and finally gave up. Now, I'm excited to watch it again.

Someone should give her an action drama all her own coz she kicks some serious ass and is really believable doing the action scenes which is very rare in female drama actresses plus it's a bonus she's a very good actress.

As long as they don't kill her character off, I am all for the cameo. She has been the only character for whom I cared about in the whole IRIS franchise.

A straight up revenge drama starring KSY where she goes after her husband and child's killers might have made a better plot for IRIS 2.

This has me excited as much as it has me worried. The people in charge have clearly no respect or vision for their own work. The fact she was a villain in the film, which they later "cancelled", as the plot was not convenient for continuation, speaks for itself.

So what are they planning to do with her this time? I mean, Cheol Yeong was probably the best character in the whole franchise and unless something changes, all he got was a lousy few scenes and a really pathetic death.

I really fear that they might completely botch her reappearance as well. I think deciding to continue an ok work (even though I did not like 'IRIS') and ending up ruining its name is bad enough, but when you also bring back characters from it just to treat them in such a bad way is downright nasty.

I hope her role is treated well and I do hope Cheol Yeong is alive and will get his cool moments as well. They are the best characters that have been in all three series and they deserve much more. It won't save this train-wreck called 'IRIS2', but I will at least not absolutely hate the production team which I know simply dislike and find incompetent.

I'll probably tune in to see if they end END the franchise. And with Kim Soyeon there, that'd be cool. Mandate of Heaven!

wow. 8.2%.
that's low. and Im Soo Hyang said on happy together (before the drama began airing) that they'd be back on the show if the drama topped 30%. (initially something higher, but Lee Da Hae was like, wait wait, lol)
y'know, I really wish MCs on variety shows wouldn't ask the cast to predict/set a goal for the ratings.
ALTHOUGH i DO understand the importance of ratings for those higher ups.

Lol. It's probably not funny for the cast/team, but maybe this will be what kicks the people into realising this shit was shit.

She's been in a few flops lately and she is going to comeo in another big flop. Sigh...

Honestly, her cameo in Athena was the most interesting part of the whole show!

she was totally under the radar in The Great Seer, but at least people acknowledged her as star power in cameo category.

Kim So yeon fighting !

i know she'll coming to this series. remember when chul-young been shot and lying on the ground...the one that walk towards him is her!!!!(they just show her walking-leg thou)... definitely her!!

I agree Iris 2 is boring another reason is because Lee Da Hae and Jang Hyuk have been paired many many times, so there's no more excitement.

I planned to watch iris 2..as i didn't see the earlier shows of the franchise..
But even then..i never gave it a try...and of course..after so many negative reviews...will not watch it..

my fav so far is definitely the first Iris. I am a Super Junior fan and a Choi Siwon fan =D but even I could not bear Athena...It was boring! I gave up on Iris 2 after 4 episodes, too.

IRIS 2 is totally an upgrade compared to the mess that Athena was. So, for those of you who have missed Athena : good, let it stay that way.

IRIS 2 actually looked better and more cohesive than IRIS, but then again I was so hooked up by IRIS that I just wanted IRIS 2 to be half as good and my expectations were pretty low after the shock that Athena gave me.

Overall, it's not so bad, but you have to be a fan of the spy-genre to actually like it I think. None of the characters are doing a bad job, far from it.

i cld've watched this is the original casts were in it & i luv kim so yeon as well but with iris 2 tho i like some of the male actors, i think i'll pass!

Wow great news. I was actually missing her character. Though to be honest I was expecting more of a Cameo Role from her. Plus I was hoping to know her reaction when she found out that her sister was working for IRIS the very organization that she tried to take down. It would have been a great plot point. Also the little misunderstanding that she had with her old boss to clear that up would have also been nice as well. I also suspect that it was her coming to inspect the so called body of her boss. He may have called her so that she could be reunited with her sister. Things didn't go as expected though. :) :(

I do wonder when you will finish doing the Recaps of this show. (Even if you do it after 5 years would be nice as your time is precious so I wont rush you. but I don't like leaving things in the middle) Till then if you can direct me elsewhere that would be equally well as well. ( I missed out on a few episodes and knowing what happend would be nice. Since it is not possible for me to rewatch said episodes the only Hope that I have are via your Recaps.)
The eps that I have missed so far are 5,8 and 13 so if you can just do the recaps for just these eps will be just as good.) Unless you are not watching this show :(

Take care

why so many people here just give negative review
about iris 2 ,
i am the one who follow every episode by every week ,
n till now i still waiting for ep 19 n 20 for eng subbed .

JANG HYUK , LEE DAE HEE IS THE BEST PATNER IN IRIS 2 ! CAN'T WAIT FOR IRIS 3!!!

just finished the end of IR2. Even KSY appeared just 3-4 minutes. But she is kick ass!!! Her action skill always excellent. Hope to see she play action drama theme again!!!! But IR3???? Will we fooled by Taewon again?

hey javabeans, just a note: im soo-hyang's character's name is yeon-hwa, not yeon-ah (:

@Dark Justice
You can find "weecaps" at kaedejun website. kaedejun is one of the writers here.

Her cameo at the end was somewhat puzzling.

*spoiler*
She and Yeon-Hwa get attacked by a bunch of people and Baek-San's bunker with his nuke is shown opening and it starts counting down. Could this be a lead in to IRIS 3?

the only reason i watched Iris 2 was because of KSY's cameo appearance. unfortunately, she appeared in the VERY LAST episode. damn them. had to sit through 20 episodes of complete boredom for just 3 minutes of her. but hey, at least i enjoyed those 3 minutes of butt kicking. i started smiling like a big idiot when she finally appeared hahaha. pretty sure they're planning an Iris 3, and i really do not want to watch it if it will be Iris 2 2.0.. but.. i might not have a choice if they tease me with KSY :(

Love you crazy korean girl!!! LOVE Kim Sun-hwa. Its the most interesting character since the beginning. Kicked main female role ass in Iris 1 (sorry Kim Tae Hee)
We want more Kim Sun Hwa!!!!
