TOP of Big Bang was casted for a role in the upcoming drama titled "IRIS." TOP's role will be as an IRIS assassin (IRIS is a secret organization in the United States) and his main objective will be to assassinate Lee Byung Hun's character. This will be Lee Byung Hyun's return to Korea after his efforts in Hollywood as ninja Storm Shadow in GI JOE.

IRIS will be directed by veterans Kang Jegyu of "Taegukgi: The Brotherhood Of War", and Lee Hyungmin of "I'm sorry, I love you." IRIS will consist of 20 episodes and the budget for the drama is $20 million. They will also film in various locations around the world, including America, Japan, Russia, and China. Filming is scheduled for October of this year, and is scheduled to air some time early next year.

With the MBC Drama, East of Eden having a budget of $25 million, long gone are the days where Korean dramas could spend a small seven figure sum and have a blockbuster. It seems everyone is trying to outdo each other by spending more money, but will this result in better dramas? Only time will tell, but I have some doubts. As for TOP, I haven't seen his previous acting efforts before - actually, I take that back... he was pretty convincing in his gay role as G-Dragon's lover in the coffee prince parody.

It actually sounds interesting, but the actors disappoint me.
I mean, I’ll only watch the drama for TOP.
Seriously.
Man, Taegukgi was such a classic.

TOP was wasn’t too shabby in the “i am sam” drama, so i’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for this project. however, no assassin ever wears a ridiculous haircut as he does so if he wants to be believable he needs shave that hot star trek mess off.

TOP is a good actor, :-p He would be good for the role since he does have the tough guy image....does this mean less of Big Bang? Or are they just gonna go solo for a while then have a big comeback later when he’s done with the drama?

sounds interesting, but TOP has that “somebody just farted in the elevator look and he has 10 more floors before his stop” in the pic.

especially in i am sam. even though he didn’t have many parts :3
seriously looking forward to this. haha<3
i think he’s more fit for this role than hana yori dango in my opinion :3

for your information.. a lot of people have sad top is a pretty good actor from ‘i am sam.’
and the coffee prince thing was just something cute for their fans to watch.. doesn’t mean they’re gay..
and gdragon’s character was supposed to be a girl..
you seriously need to get over the fact that big bang is so much more talented.. they work so much harder.. and actually have lives.

Wow, TOP looks f**in pissed in that pic =D.  I didn’t watch I am Sam but I heard TOP has absolutely no acting skills =D.  This might be okay, since most assassin roles don’t require any range of emotion, so we’ll see what happens.
