Taewon also explained that Korean actor Lee Byung-hun, who played the male lead on the show, will be named as “Best Actor in Asia” at the ceremony.

“Lee’s acting skills are incredible and ‘IRIS’ has been distributed to numerous countries worldwide. Not only did the show post high ratings but Lee has received favorable reviews as well,” an official from the event was quoted as saying.

Korean actor Lee Byung-hun will be named the Best Actor in Asia at the Tokyo Drama Awards, according to his agency BH Entertainment, Wednesday.

The 40-year-actor has become the first to win the award, which was set up for the event this year.

The drama ``IRIS’’, which starred Lee and fellow actress Kim Tae-hee, will also receive the Best Foreign Drama award at the annual event.

``The Best Actor in Asia award was made to celebrate an actor’s outstanding performance and contribution, who appeared in a foreign work,’’ the Tokyo Drama Awards organizing committee said.

``Lee was appreciated for not only his acting in the drama `IRIS,’ but also for the fact that the series has received acclaim from countries that aired the show,’’ the committee added.

Lee has had a wild ride for the couple of past years, enjoying paise and support from both fans and the entertainment and film industry. The actor appeared in the hit drama ``IRIS’’ and also worked with Hollywood stars Sienna Miller, Channing Tatum and Dennis Quaid for the blockbuster film ``G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’’ last year. He also won Best Actor in a Hallyu Drama category at the Seoul Drama Awards in September.

Lee will attend the ceremony to receive the award on Oct. 25.

KOREAN dramas are scoring well with Singaporeans. All ten drama serials that made it to the best-selling chart of local video retailer Poh Kim last month are all imports from Korea.

A couple of long-standing titles on the chart include the 2008 drama Cruel Temptation, and the 2009 drama Boys Over Flowers. These have remained saleable, even after they have been broadcast on local TV channels.

More recent titles like IRIS and Cain and Abel topped the chart right after they hit the shelves last month.

In particular, Korean political drama IRIS has proven its popularity with viewers here. The 20-episode series has almost everyone raving about it, including more mature male viewers who have never been fans of K-dramas.

So what is the appeal of a drama which centres on the thorny issue of Korea reunification? Catch RazorPop's review of the blockbuster and decide if it's worthy of your time.

IRIS spinoff Athena: Goddess of War has gotten a concrete spot on the broadcast schedule, and will be premiering in November. For some reason I had assumed that it would be on KBS, as was the original IRIS, but nope: this sucker’s on SBS, and will be a Monday-Tuesday drama.

To be honest, the promo photos and general aesthetic of Athena are hardly blowing me away here. They’re practically out-cheesing A Man Called God, and that’s a tall order.

The posters have got that exaggerated spy thing going on, like an interpretation of a James Bond flick that doesn’t quite know if it’s homage or parody. I’m really hoping for the latter, because as a straight-up action thriller I am not sold on Athena, not at all; IRIS may have had that blockbuster swagger but I’m not getting that slickness from this drama. (A kidnapped president’s daughter, who’s swept away to the mountains of Italy, spies swooping in to save her, etc.) But as a vehicle for camp? Oh, I’m hoping.

The drama has begun filming, and will start with first location shoots in Italy this month.
