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.

OMG, I LOVE this drama. Every episode is so exciting and I especially love the scenes of LDH and Micky together..to the point that I grin each time they come on..ahhh! LDH’s dresses are so beautiful and she looks great in everything. N Micky is so charming that I wish he was mine–heehee! One complaint though is that there aren’t any kissing scenes between them. They both have such great on-screen chemistry that I think that each time he wished her goodnight, he looked as if he wanted to kiss her!! How I wish there was one though!

I’ve watched this three times and I am so so in love with this drama. For those who gave up mid-way and hated this drama, I guess they prefer the typical poor but good girl who marries the crown prince and live happily ever after kind of kdramas, like Lie To Me, good to look at but no substance. Miss Ripley to me is cruel but realistic. It had me on edge at every episode. This drama scores on all counts..great leads, acting, ost, props and beautiful sceneries. Two things which I really didn’t like was Kim SW whom I thought was too old (heck, they could have put in someone younger and more attractive) and I hated the background music whenever there is suspense!! Overall, because it’s soo good, I am going to wait for the DVD to be on sale and add to my collection of Greats of All Time!!

the story of this drama is amazing….
when i started to watch this drama i feel it really scary…
In every ep.. my heart beats faster and faster and make me curious…
Mi Ri… her acting is mindblowing..
she is really cute…
overall i felt this drama is really nice and different…..

even if I like handsome guys, I am really upset for Jang Myung Hoon
I am on episode 8 right now, and how he likes Jang Mi Ri I like it. Soon yu hyun fall in love because she is gorgeous. I feel really bad that in the stoy she has to lie to them, specially Jang Myung Hoon
who is very lonely since he married his exwife. Not that I like old men, but this is true….
August 14th, 2011 at 1:03 am
I am sorry, now I know that Soon yu hyun didnt fell in love for her because she was gorgeous, so I take back what I said before…
What a sad history, I cried in all the drama…
But, even though that, I am not all that sad, because she wasnt alone in the end, she had a friend, and a friend is what we all need in life.

I love the storyline of this drama…
Good Job for LDH, KSW, and KHJ’s acting It was very good…
except for MICKY.. I dont like micky’s acting at all… such a poker face… Im sorry for micky’s fan.. but i really dont like his facial expression..

@yuukichan Hi, most of us are dissatisfied with the ending becos it’s not what we all hope for. But from a realistic point of view, this is the best ending that we all can hope for. Yutaka can’t just take back Miri becos of all her lies..it can’t be so simple yet he loved her enough to help her begin a fresh start and did not abandon her. I hated Myung Hoon’s actions wehen he discovered her secret and decided to “put things back from its beginning”. Why did he do that if he really love her? He could have helped her, like Yutaka did.
Furthermore, if Yutaka’s father decided to “put the register right” like he said in one of the scenes, if he registers Miri as his daughter, Yutaka and her would be siblings. But if they just register her as her mother’s daughter, they still have a chance but they would still be “brother and sister”. So conclusion, I guess the writer left the rest to our imagination, so we are not so upset..hehe!

at first I saw the synopsis of this drama I’m not interested to watch it,but finally I have watch it,this drama open my eyes,Jang Mi ri Character given a difference viewpoint from the other first character of k-drama,how she stand from a difficult life make her like that… I like this drama,her act so reality for me.. good job to Lee da hee for act “Jang Mi Ri’s character…”
September 1st, 2011 at 12:58 am
this drama is good but I don’t like it,… I feel miserable and my heart is heavy when seeing the lie add Up,… How could Mi Ri keep lying till almost the end of the story and never once she come to her conscience and feel sorry for what she has done. She even betray her close friend,in fact i understand her situation but still find its hard to accept it. Anyway, the Ending is great, I’m also feel disappointed at first but thinking of what Mi Ri had done, Yutaka is just too good for her. So it should ending like that…. Lee da he acting is great.

saranghanikka>>like much the cast of micky…….
September 1st, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Nice concept Bad execution. It’ll be more interesting if its made into Drama Comedy since the Heroine flaw is quite heavy it should be lighten up with Humor. Pity..I am expecting much after read the synopsis.

i find it a bit borin in d beging but its okay at d end……..even though i m fan of micki uchoon but whats wid d facial expression in whole drama..should improve his acting skills…….. jang mi ri was d best in d whole drama……….

This is a boring drama, although I am a fan of LDH KSW and Micky Yoochun, I was very disappointed. The architect girl facial contorting expressions were terrible, n her bumbling clumsiness did not add to her appeal. I wish they had chosen a better actress to counter Jang mi ri. If my friend stole my diploma and art works, I would kick her out of the house ASAP. Miss LDH was good and gorgeous. MY was better in SKK.
September 12th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
i realy love this drama. I think Yoo Hyun and Jang Miri still end up with each other. The last part would be the first sceen in episode one.
September 25th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
The main actress is soo beautiful, she performed the cast of Jang Mi Ri great, good drama though I would expect Mi Ri and Yoo Huyn to see each other at the end, after much that Mi Ri has been through, she deserves to have Yoo Hyun as their love is true….but it seems all their suffering is for nothing???

I try to watch it, it seems that lots of people are commenting here!!! hehehehe
