130219 [NEWS] Iris 2′ Director Says He Meant for the Agents to Wear Black in Snow

 

Director Pyo Min Soo of Iris 2 cleared up what netizens called a slip-up on the part of the producers.

In a press roundtable for the drama on February 19, the director touched on the criticisms that had been voiced about the drama, and hinted on what was to come.

Netizens criticized the drama for a scene in which the agents were shown training in black suits against a snowy backdrop, when soldiers and agents in training usually wear white to blend into the background.

Director Pyo Min Soo commented, "I considered up until the morning of the shoot on whether I should have the actors wear white clothes, white hats and hold guns taped to look white, but I thought that would be too simple."

He added, "I thought it would be more natural to have the agents train in the clothes they usually wear. I judged the situation would be explained with Yu Geon (Jang Hyuk)′s dialogue, but following the criticisms I realized I should have explained the situation more."

 

After its first episode aired on February 13, Iris 2 received mixed reactions.

Some were even brought to point out that the producers had made a mistake in the training scene in question, pointing out that secret agents would wear white in snow for camouflage.

The director said, "I was sad it was being called a mistake. I′m preparing some romance for the action blockbuster next, so I believe you can look forward to that."
