Synopsis
Two very different men fall in love with Jang Mi Ri, a woman whose life is a complicated web of lies, propelled by her greedy desires that stem from an unfortunate childhood. Jang Myung Hoon is an ambitious hotelier who maintains perfect control of himself and his life, while Yutaka is the warm and gentle heir of a Korean-Japanese hotel conglomerate. Their love for Mi Ri and her tragic ambition eventually leads them down the path of destruction.
Miss Ripley is based on the real life case of Shin Jung Ah, a university professor and art curator at Dongguk University who was discovered to have forged her creditials in order to get hired, with the help of her boyfriend (then presidential secretary) Byun Yang Kyoon, and embezzled funds from the art gallery’s corporate sponsorship.

I copied from the above Synopsis
“Their love for Mi Ri and her tragic ambition eventually leads them down the path of destruction”
“Them” means the 2 male leads ?
Don’t tell me this drama will have a bad ending?? I DON’T like bad ending story & I also DON’T like leads with a bad/miserable past ….. so sad.
Hope Micky Yoochun or Lee Da Hae can act in a more lively comedy drama.

Having a melodrama or should I say a serious drama plus working with senior actors/actresses will hasten and prove micky’s acting ability… Micky is serious in everything he does… its a stepping stone for him to be a great actor…
So to those questioning him why he chose this drama instead…. why? what’s wrong with it? come on… him being hurt or falling deeply in love with the main actress is simply an act… being upset because he’s gonna get hurt in the drama is just simply lame… be happy for him and support him all the way.

I don’t think I will like the storyline as I did like SKKS. I don’t like the leading lady….. but i like to see how Mickey will fair because for me he did well in SKKS. I don’t like the synopsis of the story—- “self destruct”- as what they say…. I don’t like story with “greed” as its theme.

They:
believed in love, but lost everything;
wanted to own the world, even if it is not for real;
owned the world, but then it is all false;
thought they were on top of the world,
at least for that moment…..
These lyrics from the OST should give us an idea what the theme of the drama is abt: Lies, Love and ultimately facing the truth; pain, suffering n maybe growth.
