It is the first Korean production that shot a television drama and feature-length film simultaneously (Kim Kyu-tae was in charge of the TV segments, and Yang Yun-ho in charge of the film segments), the television series Iris was a hit when it aired on KBS2 in 2009. Iris: The Movie is a feature-length edit of the 20 episodes, along with additional footage shot specifically for the theatrical version and a different ending. The film premiered at the 34th Hong Kong International Film Festival on March 21, 2010.
