This episode is filled with pivotal moments, plot twists, and action. Hyun Joon is left on his own hunted by both friend and foe. Fights, car chases, and explosions are plentiful as he flees. There is also a healthy dose of betrayal and romance just to round out the episode.

Iris Episode 5 Reactions
This episode was a slow and a bit draggy to me. After the first fight scene, a lot of time was spent on scenes of the wounded Hyun Joon seeking walking about and seeking shelter. It seems that Hyun Joon has been thrown into the fire by NSS. The action picked up in the later half and that saved the rating a bit. I kept coming up with theories in my head about what is going to happen and none of them were resolved, so I found myself feeling disappointed.
