Synopsis
IRIS Season 1 follows two South Korean army veterans, Kim Hyun-jun (Lee Byung-hun) and Jin Sa-woo (Jung Joon-ho), recruited into the National Security Service (NSS). Their loyalty is tested when they discover their recruiter, Choi Seung-hee (Kim Tae-hee), is their superior and a love interest for both men.
The series escalates as Hyun-jun uncovers a betrayal during a mission in Hungary, where Sa-woo attempts to assassinate him under orders from the shadowy organization IRIS, which seeks to sabotage North-South reunification.
After faking his death, Hyun-jun returns to Korea to expose IRIS, leading to a hostage crisis at a mall where IRIS demands the cancellation of peace talks. The season culminates in a summit massacre plot, thwarted by Seung-hee’s infiltration, and ends with Hyun-jun’s tragic death at a sniper’s hands during a reunion with Seung-hee
