I thought Iris was going to be good--at least it started out that way. But the ending was so weird-- I really hated the end! I could never bring myself to watch the sequel!
its been a long time since i didn't drop a Chinese drama in the first episode , but this one is quite promising…
It seems that I mostly watch Kdramas, but I always have my eyes open for any really good Asian drama. Two of my favorite Cdramas that are on my All-time Favorites list are #1-Prince of Lan Ling, and #2-Bu Bu Jing Xin (also referred to as Scarlet Heart-1). I have watched both of these three times over the last few years and just can't get over them. They have compelling storylines, beautiful cinematography, and the best actors!
I haven't seen this drama yet, but watch Jang Hyuk in "Chuno." He's such an amazing actor with great charisma, although I think he ruined his image in "Fated to Love you." It was such a wacky drama. (watch the Taiwanese version of "Fated to Love You." I enjoyed it much more than the Korean one--sorry.)
I want to watch this but I hate Jang Hyuk. He seem a bit overacting to me when I saw him in Fated To Love You.…
I absolutely love Jang Hyuk. He is such an amazing actor, but I do have to admit that I did not like "Fated to Love You" so much as the character he portrayed was way too eccentric. I loved him in Shine or Go Crazy though, as well as his other dramas. He has so much charisma!

Also, if you want to watch a great sageuk (historical drama), I recently found a real gem called "Jang Youngsil." It's about disovering the stars and science and how superstitious people were at the time even though the king tried to change things. I know it's showing on Viki.com. It really is a must-watch. Enjoy!
This drama is so worth it! My top favorite with the highest rating ever! 10++++
It is the most beautiful, intriguing, romantic, adventurous, creative, best story ever! Parts of it are heart-warming and other parts are heart-breaking. But it really is a Must Watch! I just finished this drama--Scarlet Heart-1 (Bu Bu Jing Xin)--for the third time watching over the last two years. The cinematography is so beautiful!
I have also watched the sequel, now called Scarlet Heart-2 (Bu Bu Jing Qing) but it is not even close to the same quality as the first one. I don't understand why. Some of the actors are the same, but the camera work and cinematography are just not there, nor the storyline. Such a shame--I wonder why? I am watching the sequel again though, just because I liked the actors from the first one so much.
