After various titles of this drama, (Ripley, Goodbye Miss Ripley, etc, etc) I believe that this name has now been decided.




I will certainly be watching this!!!

Especially as the delectable Micky Yoochun is here. Eeeeks!! So excited!!

Mind you, not that Micky isn't interesting enough in himself...

Trivia:

Spoiler

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.

interesting ... i love LDH ...

[ArCiZei]

I love LDH too. But I have read that LDH character in hear is quite different from the jolly and funny LDH we used to see. Don't know if that is true since it is not yet airing. We'll see.

[amrita828]

Wow, another love triangle.
I'm thinking of writing to the Korean Scriptwriters Association (if such a thing exists) and remind them of the existence of other geometrical figures, among which the trapezium, the lozenge and the circle...
:P

[SANGYOO]

@ ArC ,,, well as long as she plays the part in excellent way, there is no problem, cuz i've enjoyed watching her in East of Eden, different personality that MY GIRL ...

Thank you! I'd rather say I would be... critic, LOL.
I will put this on my to-watch list. I'm not enthusiast of any of the Korean rom-coms currently airing, so I may just as well have a look at this one, triangle or not.
You, on the other hand, should really give City Hunter a try. I know you called yourself out on it, but unless you have a natural adversion for action dramas, let me assure you that the premises are really good in terms of acting, pace, story and general quality. That thread needs some true critics too, or it'll end up as a squealing Min Hoo fangirls café... :P
