- Actor Min-jong Kim was originally supposed to reprise his role as Kim Ki-soo (from Athena: Goddess of War (2010-2011) for the second season of Iris (2009). However, his popularity for his most recent show, A Gentleman's Dignity (2012), was still too fresh and fans were not ready to see him return as the North Korean escapee. Ki-soo's part in the script was changed to a new character, named Yoo Joong-won. The part went to Beom-su Lee.
- Two scripts were written for the second season--one where the original cast returns and another with a new cast and most of the original cast members making cameo appearances. Byung-hun Lee and Tae-hee Kim's schedules were too busy for them to return, so the filmmakers had to go with the latter.
- Seung Hyun Choi performed a song, titled "Hallelujah," along with his fellow BIGBANG group members G-Dragon (Ji-Yong Kwon) and Taeyang (Young-bae Dong), for this series.
- There is a deleted clip of Jin Sa-woo, played by Joon-ho Jung, blending in with the crowd during the boxing match in Cambodia, with Beom-su Lee's character in the first episode of the second season. For unknown reasons, the clip was cut out of the show.
