Well, I was definitely hyped up about this show (the year of waiting went by surprisingly quickly). When I finally got to watch the first episode yesterday, I wasn't exactly disappointed, but I wasn't totally satisfied either.
LBH was excellent, so were the other actors/actresses. It looked good, too, the big budget shows. But the pacing was off. It started off in a bang and suddenly the tight atmosphere just died. The music didn't fit most of the scenes. LBH is great in less serious roles, too, so I really liked the back story of his bromance in the special forces training thing (whatever it was). But the explosive and dramatic start and well, pretty much rest of the episode didn't fit together at all! I'm not sure if it was the abrupt change from one to another, but it felt like thay had taken two parts in different genres and just glued them one after the other. I'm not really good at explaining what I mean, my English fails me! It just didn't flow well.

Episode 3 (and I'm definitely with Belleza here):
Hidden:
I haven't been totally satisfied with Iris from the start and episode 3 just took my disappointment to new hights. Half of the episode was like a romance montage, it actually made me cringe. It just didn't fit in, at all! I know some Korean dramas start off slowly, but Iris better pick up soon with the agent stuff or I'll be tuning off.
On a more positive note, TOP was surprisingly good. The scene at the airport was actually haunting, especially with his blurry figure closing in through the car's side mirror. His character has made me laugh, though, he's way too flashy for an assassin and he's too bad for the (still very) light atmosphere. But maybe he'll fit in better when the action picks up.
I've been putting off watching episode 4 for a while now, but I'm tackling it tonight. Hopefully it's good!

All of a sudden the last scene of ep 6 takes a huge leap - how did thinhs end up this way? It feels like they left a whole scene or two out and just jumped the storyline!

The scene you are talking about will be explained/shown in Episode 7. In case you didn't know, it's a ploy to get at people with little patience and at people who hate cliffhangers or any sorts of confusions. That makes people tune in next week again to find out the truth and if they do that, the ratings will stay constant and probably even rise which seems to be the case with IRIS.

So far (ep 6) it is very good.
Hidden:
I'm not surprised that the vice director turned out to be dodgy, he seems to be running an organisation that pretty much does what it (or he or his conspirators) likes, and ignores or even opposes what the government wants. The new President should have definitely put a few of his own people in the NSS to keep an eye on things. Otherwise he has no idea what they are actually doing, and when things are like that it is often a recipe for disaster - rogue agency hello! Trusting the vice director, especially such a long serving one, is problematic.
But why the hell did Kim Sun Hwa go to South Korea? To kill the dodgy NSS Vice Director? She didn't exactly do a good job, though I suppose (that the plot required that) someone had to tell Seung Hee that Hyun Joon was alive. It's looking like the rest of the series will be mostly about unravelling the NSS and the conspiracy that killed Hyun Joon's parents (IRIS?).

lolz. Iris trying hard to have that Bourne Identity vibe. First thing they have to do is to stop with all the shaky camera work. Bourne Identity did that but it's not dizzying as in Iris. Goodness gracious. Music ripoff too lolz.

Can anyone here recommend a good place to WATCH this series online streaming? Like Mysoju.com. I'm really interested in seeing it because my friend mentioned it being really popular in Korea.

Preview for episode 10 looks awesome and episode 9 was well paced.

I found it a little bit strange that the guy found the cross but not the girl. I mean they had to have searched the place for evidence or fingerprints.
Next episode should be awesome because they are planning to infiltrate NSS ;)
@ Ay
Just use the google search engine. I always find streaming sites this way.
