Lee Da Hae and Park Yoochun recently revealed the reasons behind their absences for MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley‘ after party.
On July 20th, a representative for Lee Da Hae stated, “She had a shooting for her Chinese activities. She couldn’t pull out from her schedule, so unfortunately, she was unable to attend. She didn’t have any conflicts with the staff.”
A representative for Yoochun said as well, “He had a schedule filming for an advertisement. It was scheduled even before the shooting for the drama began. He was planning to attend the after party after the filming was over, but it ended later than planned.”
‘Miss Ripley’ portrayed a woman collapsing to her web of lies and has been criticized for its unreasonable plot and weak characters. The after party was held on July 19th and caught attention for the nonattendance of the main actors.
MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley‘ has ended its run on the air with a strong viewership rating!

‘Jang Mi Ri‘ (played by Lee Da Hae) ultimately went to prison for forging her educational background and degrees. Then the story fast forwarded 1 year, in which ‘Jang Mi Ri’ was finally released from prison and began her new life with a happy outlook.
Her mother, ‘Lee Hwa‘ (played by Choi Myung Gil), wanted to go abroad together with ‘Jang Mi Ri’, but ‘Jang Mi Ri’ ended up staying back in Korea.
She sent a letter to her mother with “I will live here to atone for my difficult, but shameful past. You really did return like you had promised when you gave me the necklace to keep and wait for you. I love you“, as she forgave her mother for abandoning her during her childhood.
Meanwhile, ‘Lee Hwa’ volunteered happily with her husband, ‘Song In Soo‘ (played by Jang Young). ‘Jang Myung Hoon‘ (played by Kim Seung Woo) opened a small hospital where he treated senior citizens. ‘Moon Hee Joo‘ (played by Kang Hye Jung) was shown to become a successful architect.
The romance line between ‘Yoo Hyun‘ (played by Yoochun) and ‘Jang Mi Ri’ ended peacefully with Yoo Hyun’s soliloquy: “I met her one day. I knew her at first glance. She was similar to my long departed mother. A woman who gave joy to the world. She is like my heart. I loved her. I really loved her“.
At a distance, a sign was seen labeled with “The greatest love is to love yourself“. As ‘Song Yoo Hyun’ remembered ‘Jang Mi Ri’ in his memory, ‘Jang Mi Ri’ was also thinking of ‘Song Yoo Hyun’ as they passed by each other without actually meeting. The drama ended with love’s aftertaste.

Yoochun’s character has always been known as a caring and considerate one, but that will all change once he finds out about Lee Da Hae’s lie. Left in pain and agony over his love for her, Yoochun becomes swept in being forced to make the right decision. The shower scene marks a turning point in Yoochun’s character, as it’s an expression of his desire to shed his caring image and to be reborn.
The scene was filmed at a hotel in Namsan, Seoul, on July 8th, and it was said that he didn’t feel any pressure about baring himself for the cuts. Staff were especially surprised with the level of concentration he showed and the many different emotions he was able to express in one short shower scene.
Hilariously, the female staff were reported to have shouted in disagreement once the director yelled out “OK”, signaling the end of the cut. The male staff turned the entire set into a sea of laughter by jokingly remarking, “Stop staring at him!”
Producers said, “This sene is one where we can see his misery once he finds out the truth about Lee Da Hae. He’ll make a complete 180 degree change in image, and Yoochun himself is making an effort to bring those changes justice. Viewers will be able to see his transformation in the 13th and 14th episodes.”

Although there is a heat wave of over 30 degrees Celsius during the day, the temperature drops and becomes quite chilly as it nears nighttime. In addition to using the blankets to take care of his health, Yoochun also uses them to protect himself from bugs, as they are attracted to the lights used for filming.
As seen in the pictures, Yoochun has worn various colorful blankets as fashion items, which shows his fashionista sense.
The drama producer stated, “As filming continues into the cold, actors are using various methods to overcome the chilly wind to help take care of their health. Even though the filming schedule is difficult, we are putting in our best effort to complete the best drama.”
Meanwhile, the 9th episode of ‘Miss Ripley’ will air on Monday.

On June 19th, it was revealed that actress Lee Da Hae received treatment at a hospital for exhaustion.
Ever since May, Lee Da Hae had been running on a full schedule in order to keep up with the filming for “Miss Ripley“, often working day in and day out without rest. It seems the fatigue finally caught up to her, as she visited a hospital on the afternoon of the 18th to receive an IV treatment.
A representative of her agency revealed, “Her doctor said that a week of rest was required for her to get better, but Lee Da Hae is passionate about the drama. She was discharged right away and returned to the film set immediately.”
Lee Da Hae later tweeted, “I’m okay! I wasn’t getting enough sleep so I got an IV treatment and slept a bit. I feel a lot better now! Thank you so much for worrying over me! I’m filming today! I’ll work hard, aja aja!”
The actress is the female lead for the drama and is gaining attention for her appearance in up to 100 scenes in each episode. Her transitions between angelic and demonic personalities are also noticeable, and resemble the contrasting characters of Jekyll and Hyde.
Her wardrobe in the drama reportedly is like a fashion show collection, as the actress appears in many scenes and has to show her changing personalities with her clothes.
In “Miss Ripley”, Lee Da Hae’s character uses Kim Seung Yoo and Yoochun’s characters for her personal gain, wearing fairly provocative clothes to achieve these goals. She has donned outfits like a sexy mini dress, which emphasized her body line. Because she appears in so many scenes, the actress has to switch her outfit around ten times per episode. Her stylist coordinates each outfit after Lee Da Hae has received the script and discussed her character at length with her.
A representative for DBM Entertainment commented on the actress’s dedication to her character, saying, “Lee Dae Hae even went to a shop in Dongdaemun where women who work in bars tend to shop. She bought her red wig and revealing outfits there that she has worn for the beginning scenes in the drama, where she worked in a bar in Japan.”
16 June:
Yoochun plays the character ‘Yoo Hyun’, who is the likely heir to the Mondo Group ‘throne’. On the other hand, Lee Da Hae plays ‘Mi Ri’, a girl who dreams of upward mobility through her education. Inevitably, the two characters ‘coincidentally’ meet each other on Jeju Island.
Although Mi Ri is in a relationship with Myung Hoon (played by actor Kim Seung Woo), she becomes attracted to Yoo Hyun, who has a higher status and more wealth. Up until now, Mi Ri ignored Yoo Hyun, stating, “You are like a rotten rope that I can see often only in Goshiwon.” However, after finding out that he is a second generation conglomerate, she is ruffling up a new temptation.
Mi Ri went to Jeju Island to rest her head, but when she found out that Yoo Hyun was also there, she runs into Yoo Hyun while pretending to look for Hee Joo (played by actress Kang Hye Jung), and that is how their inevitable-disguised-as-chance date on Jeju Island started.
They drove by the coast in a luxury, convertible sports car that was flown in from Seoul, drove by the amazing wind-power propellers, and played in the water at Jungmun Beach.
Their cozy drive and date made them seem like a real couple – drawing envy and curiosity from the tourists who were also visiting Jeju Island at the time.
Yoochun stated, “Because of the filming, I got to enjoy Jeju Island’s amazing scenery and kill two birds with one stone,” explaining that he enjoyed his time. Lee Da Hae displayed a bright expression as she stated that she was happy to get out of the city and film a dating scene at a resort.

Although Yoochun had shown a soft image as the kind-hearted heir to a resort chain, he revealed a tough and masculine side in this scene. Lee Da Hae, who usually flaunts a feminine style as ‘Jang Mi Ri‘, also underwent a surprising image change for the scene.
The motorcycle, which cost about $37,000 USD, was flown in especially for the filming at Banpo Bridge. When the two actors heard that they would be riding a motorcycle, they couldn’t hide back their smiles. Yoochun in particularly enjoys driving fast cars, so he was very happy at the prospect of sitting on a motorbike.
The publishers stated, “Yoochun, who had previously shown only a gentle charisma, is starting to reveal his actual tough masculinity. The viewers’ hearts will pound at the sight of him and Lee Da Hae on the motorcycle, getting ready for a new beginning. Please look forward to it!”

She flirted with him and attracted him to the point that she was offered a position as the model for the hotel’s advertisement. It was easy for Jang Myung Hoon to make the decision, because he had the support of Song Yoo Hyun (played by Park Yoo Chun).
Saying that she felt uneasy that they wouldn’t be able to meet, Jang Mi Ri successfully seduced Jang Myung Hoon into her house. Following the bed scene that ensued from her seduction, Jang Myung Hoon shared a personal story.
He said, “When I was young, I was too poor to have a dream.” Knowing that she could keep him seduced because he felt a connection with her, Jang Mi Ri said, “When I was young, I had too many poor dreams. Because they were so poor, I wanted to throw them away.”

T-ara’s Jiyeon took on a surprising role for MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley‘ On June 6th!
Fans got to see the young idol tackle a challenging part as ‘Yu’, the daughter of the Japanese Prime Minister. Yu was staying at a hotel in Korea, and caused panic when she slipped away secretly.
Actress Lee Da Hae, who played the role of ‘Jang Miri’, was sent out on a search for Yu, and finally found her at a ‘Hallyu Concert’. During this entire process, it was revealed that Yu was a lesbian. Yu was interacting mysteriously with her female friend, and Jang Miri later discovers that was the reason why Yu stole away from the hotel; she was ‘rebelling’ against her father, who was opposed to the relationship.
To persuade Yu to go back, Jang Miri lies to her by saying, “I’m a lesbian, just like you.”
She also tries to gain Yu’s sympathy by telling her that her father died because of her, and so Yu should try to avoid making the same mistake that she did.
In the end, Yu returns to the hotel and even thanks Jang Miri for telling her the story about her father.
Viewers commented, “It was shocking that a high schooler acted as a lesbian” and “Although it was a short appearance, her acting was very good”.

He was able to smoothly deliver the rather difficult and long lines in English, speaking about his group’s vision.

Viewers were especially captivated by the fast pace of the story and actress Lee Da Hae’s shocking transformations, all of which developed into a plot that left them looking forward to more.
Lee Da Hae plays the role of a bar hostess who runs away from Japan in order to find a new life in Korea. She ends up lying to recruiters that she’s a Tokyo University student in order to find a job, but her lie unfortunately results in ominous consequences.
Despite the fact that they’re one-month-old rookies, the boys landed themselves the rare opportunity of playing Hallyu stars alongside the drama’s A-list cast.
Filming began on May 28th and went right through until the next morning at Seoul Olympic Park.
The boys commented, “We’re still a rookie group, so it was extremely thrilling to be able to act alongside such big name stars in a drama. It feels as if a dream has become reality. More than anything, we’re curious as to how we’ll show up on screen.”
They continued, “This is our first time in a drama since our debut, so it was definitely an honor to be able to act with such amazing actors.”
X-5 will be seen in the third episode, which is scheduled for broadcast on June 6th.
On the first episode of “Miss Ripley”, which will air on May 30th, Lee Da Hae’s character, Jang Miri displays a variety of looks by wearing a red wig, a yellow wig, and even a purple wig.
In the picture, you can see that Lee Da Hae is wearing her purple wig while playing a pipe.
In the drama, her character lived poor and difficultly because of her Japanese foster parents, and therefore has no choice but to work at a bar. In this scene, which was filmed at a bar in Fukuoka, Japan, Lee Da Hae is wearing a tight, low-cut, sleeveless dress and a purple wig to entertain the drunken customers while displaying a deep sadness in her eyes.
The production crew stated, “Jang Miri, who’s life has hit rock bottom, is miserably struggling while working at a Japanese bar because she wants to keep living. To display Jang Miri’s sadness and despair, Lee Da Hae showed great effort. Please look forward to her acting transformation into Jang Miri.”

The two each planned to bring a friend to watch the baseball game, but both friends didn’t show up, leaving Song Yoo Hyun and Na Hee Joo to watch the game together.
The filming for this episode took place at the Mokdong Ballpark on May 3rd on the day of a real Nexen Heroes versus Kia Tigers Korean baseball league game. In order to film their realistic cheering, filming went on until right before the start of the game.
Filming this scene was fun for both Yoochun and Kang Hye Jung because they were both fans of baseball. The two immersed themselves completely in the ballpark date scene as they cheered on the Nexen Heroes with their thundersticks.
Production representatives said,
“In order to realistically film Yoochun and Kang Hye Jung cheering in the ballpark scene, they learned the cheers from the actual cheerleaders for the scene. Because both like watching baseball, they properly expressed enthusiastic cheering.“

For MBC’s upcoming drama “Ripley“, actress Lee Da Hae has made a dramatic transformation by donning a firey red wig for her character, ‘Jang Miri’.
The actress plays the role of a woman who’s thrust into a doomed life because of a lie she mistakenly makes. Her life is already depressing in that she’s forced to work at a bar as a hostess in order to overcome her poverty-stricken life.The new still-cuts revealed today feature scenes of ‘Miri’ plotting with ‘Hirayama’ for her escape from the bar. Unlike the classy image she’s usually known for, Lee Da Hae went for a more daring and seductive style to complete her character’s look. The style was completely put together by Lee Da Hae herself, as she reportedly went around dozens of wig shops to personally pick one she thought fit best.
Producers stated, “Lee Da Hae talked it over with the director and writers in order to perfect her character’s tragic life, so we ask for you to anticipate how she will interpret the character in her own way.”

17 Mei:
On May 17th, MBC’s new drama “Ripley” held its production conference at the Banyan Tree with lead roles Kim Seung Woo, Lee Da Hae, Park Yoochun, and Kang Hye Jung in attendance.
As it’s his second drama, Yoochun was asked to explain the difference between his role in “Ripley” and his role in “Sungkyunkwan Scandal.”
He answered, “Well, I’ve gone from wearing hanbok to suits now… I think the way the two characters express pain is different. Unlike ‘Lee Sun Joon’, my character in ‘Ripley’ starts everything with a laugh. He’s always smiling, but it only takes a moment for him to begin shedding tears.”
He continued, “There was definitely a lot of pressure, and even after I decided to take the role, I was still worried over whether I’d do well. One of my greatest concerns was how the viewers would perceive me, especially since they thought well of me with my previous work. Everyone treats me so well at the recording so I’m able to take part in it comfortably now.”
When asked about working with his seniors, he revealed, “I was so nervous, I made a lot of NGs. I’d blush and sweat. It’s my second drama so I’m definitely seeing a wider perspective in comparison to my debut.”
Kang Hye Jung who is playing the second female lead role, praised, “Yoochun-ssi is so great at acting and works extremely hard. I think he fits his character well of being a smooth man of the city. A person of his level could probably take on dramas catering to the teenage audience, but he doesn’t rely on his popularity at all and is determined to live life as a true actor.”
On his reasons for choosing “Ripley”, Yoochun commented, “I’ve really wanted to do a melodrama. I loved the character as well, and after seeing the line-up, I wanted to be able work with them.”
“Ripley” will debut on May 30th.
16 Mei:
On May 16th, MBC revealed the official main poster for their upcoming drama, “Ripley“.
The mysterious poster is an expression of the hypocritical nature of the modern individual. The four leading roles are snapped amongst a masked crowd for a still-cut that looks as if time has stopped. Seeing as how they don’t fit in with their surroundings, their confidence shines brilliantly through the lens.The drama begins airing on May 30th.
14 Mei:
JYJ’s Yoochun has transformed into a warm, city man named ‘Yoo Ta Ka’ for the new MBC drama, “Ripley“.
A photoshoot for the “Ripley” poster was held last month on April 29th at the MBC Dream Center in Ilsan. For the photoshoot, Yoochun wore a white suit with a black collar – displaying the urban flair and charms of his character, ‘Yoo Ta Ka’.Yoochun introduced his new character, “If my character ‘Lee Sun Joon’ from ‘Sunkyunkwan Scandal‘ lacked the ability to express his feelings and was considered an ‘objective answer’ kind of guy, then ‘Yoo Ta Ka’ from ‘Ripley’ is rich in emotion and expresses them freely like a ’subjective answer’.”
He added, “Through the previous project, I learned that it is very difficult to be completely immersed into one character. However, I really enjoyed the times I spent worrying about the character. I am very excited even thinking about having the opportunity to show a different side.”
It was reported that although Yoochun was at the hospital because of acute enteritis, he still attended the photoshoot and worked hard until the very end – receiving a round of applause from the staff.
Meanwhile, “Ripley” is scheduled to air its first episode on May 30th.
Thanks to Yoochun’s Hallyu star status, MBC’s upcoming mini-series “Ripley” will be exported to Japan!
This marks the second drama featuring the JYJ member that sold its broadcasting rights to Japan. Last year, Yoochun’s “Sungkyungkwan Scandal” hit a sales mark of 3 billion won (approximately $2.79 million USD).
Seeing as how “Sungkyungkwan Scandal” was a 20-episode series, it’s estimated that the 16 episodes from “Ripley” would have been sold fo around 2.5 million won (approximately $2.32 million USD).

16 Maret:
It’s been confirmed that Yoochun will be playing opposite actress Lee Da Hae. After completing two films, ‘Hyun’s Song‘ and ‘Gabee‘, Lee Dae Hae has decided to return to dramas.
Meanwhile, actress Kang Hye Jung will also be making her return to dramas as the main character of “Goodbye Miss Ripley”. This will be her first time appearing in a drama since 2007’s “Flowers For My Life“.
This drama is based on the infamous ‘Shin Jeong Ah’, who was a former professor who faked her academic records. Yoochun, Lee Da Hae, Kang Hye Jung and the rest of the main cast recently went through a script-reading in Fukuoka, Japan and have officially begun filming.
“Goodbye Miss Ripley” will air its pilot episode sometime in May.
Star News is reporting that JYJ’s Yoochun had confirmed his role in MBC’s upcoming drama, “Goodbye Miss Ripley“.
A representative from the drama revealed that Yoochun and his representative recently visited Fukuoka (the location of the drama’s film set), and confirmed his casting for his role. He participated in the script-reading on the same day, and made arrangements to meet up with the rest of the cast later on.
Yoochun had impressed many industry representatives with his performance on KBS’s “Sungkyunkwan Scandal“, and it’s said that he’s been receiving countless love calls for a while. After hearing the news on Yoochun’s second confirmed drama, many had expressed their pleasure in seeing the members of JYJ slowly overcome their obstacles.
“Goodbye Miss Ripley” is currently scheduled to begin airing this May.
The drama production staff named Kang Hye Jung, Kim Seung Woo, Lee Da Hae and JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun (Micky Yoochun) as part of their lineup. However, the management teams for each star say that they’re simply reviewing the drama, and that nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
What’s interesting to note is that the four stars all reportedly left for Japan. Their management teams are explaining that their stars left to “film documentaries” or to “travel“. Still, because of this coincidence many are speculating that the purpose of the trip seem to revolve around discussing the drama, as all of the potential cast members left for Japan around the same time.
