IRIS unleashes new poster
Touted as Korea's first spy action thriller drama, the production company, Taewon Entertainment has unleashed the latest poster for IRIS, with slightly more than a month to go before it's premiere episode.
In case you didn't know, the drama boasts of a stellar cast which includes (as shown in poster), Jung Jun Ho, Kim Tae Hee, Lee Byung Hun, Kim So Yeon, Kim Seung Woo, and T.O.P.

IRIS comprising of 20 episodes, will air on 14th October, taking over from Take Care of My Young Lady through KBS2TV and a delayed telecast on KBSWorld.

Heading to the Ground’s press conference day
Lee Yoon-ji, Jung Yun-ho, Go Ara, Lee Sang-yoon
Heading to the Ground is nearing its air date, and held its production press conference on the afternoon of September 2 at Seoul’s Hyatt Hotel. The MBC series stars U-Know Yunho (aka Jung Yun-ho) in his acting debut, along with Go Ara, Lee Yoon-ji, and Lee Sang-yoon.
Man, these dramas premiere and end in such quick succession that it’s hard keeping track of the latest, isn’t it? The horror series Hon is about to hand off its Wednesday-Thursday timeslot to the new soccer drama, after it finishes with its tenth episode this week.
As the drama’s main character, not only does U-Know Yunho carry much of the drama’s burden of expectations, there’s also heightened scrutiny as this is his debut role. The pop singer recently expressed his feelings on his debut, and while I approach the acting debuts of singers with wariness, they’re not always uniformly negative experiences. (People may disagree, but I thought Min Hyo-rin aquitted herself quite well in Triple; she wasn’t perfect, but good enough that it wasn’t readily apparent that she’d never acted before. Im Joo-eun, the ingénue lead actress of Hon, is another example of a newbie making good, though she didn’t come from the pop world.) So we’ll have to wait to see how Yun-ho handles himself.
Heading airs its first episode on September 9.
Haruma Miura stars in "Samurai Seventeen" drama
Popular young actor Haruma Miura (19) is set to star in an NTV drama series, tentatively titled "Samurai Seventeen." The show is based on an original script by writer Yumiko Inoue.
Miura plays Kotaro Mochizuki, a private high school student who is normally a mild-mannered, unmasculine guy. But after coming across a mysterious ancient document, he finds that whenever he gets into a difficult situation, he becomes imbued with the heroic samurai spirit of his ancestors.
The character of Kotaro will normally be seen in his school uniform, but for his first transformation, Miura will reportedly have a scene wearing a samurai outfit and engaging in a sword fight.
"Samurai Seventeen" will air on Saturdays at 9:00pm, beginning in October.
