English subbed trailer of “Iris”, one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of the year. The drama is said to base on 1998 blockbuster film “Swiri”, but I couldn’t see much resemblance beside the spy-action background.
Regardless, with a strong leading cast of Lee Byung-hun, Kim Tae-hee, Jung Jun-ho, Kim Seung-woo, Kim So-yeon and Big Bang’s T.O.P… the drama shows plenty of promises; and the teaser probably managed to reinforce the hype.

The cast of Korean drama “Sikgaek” (식객; literally ‘Best Chef’) met with the press on June 9 at SBS to promote the drama, which is scheduled to start showing on June 17 in Korea.
Based on Heo Yeong-man’s popular manhwa (comic), Shikgaek is about a chef on his journey of discovery to become the rightful heir of Korea’s last royal chef. The drama stars Kim Rae-won, Nam Sang-mi, Kwon Oh-joong, Kim So-yeon and Woon Ki-joon etc.
