Korean star Lee Byeong-Heon is returning to TV screen in a spy thriller titled "IRIS". Lee's first TV drama in five years since his starring role in "All In", "IRIS" is Korea's first attempt at a high-tech spy thriller filled with flashy action scenes, cool cutting-edge devices, and scenic overseas locations.
The 20 million-dollar action-packed drama is directed by Kang Je-gyu of "Taegukgi: Brotherhood of War" and Lee Hyeong-min of "Sorry, I Love You" and produced jointly by Taewon Entertainment, which had made the global project "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection Of The Dragon".Filming will begin later this year and take place in Russia, Japan, China and the United States. The twenty-parter "IRIS" is scheduled to be aired early next year.
Lee has just wrapped up filming the French-American movie "I Come with the Rain" with Josh Hartnett and is getting ready to shoot "G. I. Joe". Lee will be playing Korean ninja Storm Shadow in the action flick. The multi-national collaboration co-starring British actress Sienna Miller and American actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt alongside Lee is due for release in August 2009.
