[Drama 2011] Miss Ripley 미스 리플리

[Guest upamak]

And I am back again LOL...sorry I'm not trying to spam this place but I went to read what everyone else wrote.

P.s. - this is upii_88

Okay here is what I would like to see happen in the next 4 episode of Ms. Ripley:

The downfall of Lee hwa/ Yoohyun's stepmother. Yes even before Miri, I would like to see this lady go down. Why? Because in this world, they say, you might be able to mess a woman, but you cannot mess with a mother, a mother can fight beyond limits for their children. This women-- while she enjoyed the luxury of Office Room, House, cars with AC in them, while she wore expensive clothes, while she was being recognized as a woman with great dignity, her daughter wore cheap whorish clothes, being touched by old men...they touched her thighs, her body, She was recognized as trashy and just a person to sleep with. A mother is a person who buys their children clothes before they even buy for themselves...but she?? My hatred for her is far more any character in this drama.

I hope that her past along with Miri gets exposed. It gets shown All over the news that her daughter is Jang Miri, a prositute who forged her way through,....which will also expose her low class.

Don't get me wrong..when I say low class, I meant her cheap mentality.

I still don't get why she cried and imagined seeing her baby child at the old house she resided in...seriously...why are you crying???? You left her to rot but yet you cry? Maybe girlfriday had a drop of sympathy for her...but I had none.

Nothing would be more insulting to a mother then their children being brought up as B**ch...

That would be the best ending... The Mother who left her child for her own selfish reasons ....eventually gets destroyed because her daughters history gets revealed. It's like both Daughter and Mother will be runing each other...as if they are dying in the hands of each other.

After the downfall of Lee Hwa, I want her to embrace Miri, I want her to learn her lesson, and for the rest of her life, dedicate herself to Miri, and return everything back to Miri as she deserved - a family, a home, love from mother etc

I do want some kind of redemption for Miri, like for her to go to jail, or face punishment but at the end she learns her lesson but I would also like to see that she realizes that life can be good, if she fights hard enough to make it good in the right way. These two men who loved her, could have continued loving her and stayed with her if she told the truth a little bit beforehand.

It would actually be nice to see her end up with either MH or YH, I just have so much empathy for these men that I actually want them to "have" her for their own sake. It just breaks my heart seeing their hearts broken. But I can't choose which 1 should get her...MH says he doesn't want her anymore... but I felt like he still loves her, or maybe it's just sadness of loosing his mother and feeling responsible for everything that had happened. I have to give him a lot of respect for this...he truly is a man who doesn't push faults onto others, instead realizes it's his own fault for picking that road.

I do want to see a happy ending for everyone.. I'm not saying that each character has to end up with someone, like Miri with MH or HJ with YH but just in general a peaceful ending where everyone becomes more cautious about life (after having learned their lessons, MH and YH being more decisive about trusting ppl, Miri learning to have some morals in life etc) and move on with the rest of their life living it in a better way.

[Guest ngthuhien149]

Am I the only one who still don't feel the love btw Miri and Yuhyun after ep 12 ? (I think so) Esp from Yuhyun to Miri. Yes he is damn hurt since he is betrayed, but to say it is love, I don't think so. The scene with the pimp, what Miri did just show me that she doesn't love him either.

I don't know how to explain it, it is definitely not because of the lack of chemistry, I think there is something that writer wants us to figure out..

Yoochun's Interview from iMBC

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

[ilovebmb]

To be honest Micky Yoonchun's acting is not that good or its not good enough to portray his character....I didnt watch SSK so I can tell how he did in that drama that he gets praised so much and also was able to be chosen for MR but I really think he needs to improve more and more..So far he portrays a very warm and kind of naive character so it should be tough on him but whenever he has communications with Miri, the feeling in his eyes or his way of talking or expressing dont satisfy me at all. I dont really see the chemistry between them as a couple.....SInce hes a rookie in acting, its not fair to say that hes bad but i wish they had cast a more experience actor....

[Guest upamak]

^^ Of course he needs to improve..he has just started this career..he is not at the level of senior actors, there isn't any need for you to repeats this.

but I still do not understand how you are saying the feelings in his eyes is not there...well but then again you said it's not satisfying to you...so there is nothing we can do here...

but it definitely seems to be satisfying to most people...almost everyone agrees that he is doing well..the fact that we can see he is hurt, and at the same time he feels betrayed ...you can see his cold glare and how he looks straight thru Miri...is very visible to all of us... I hope you know it's not necessary that one needs to show soo much expressions for them to be called a good actor. Do you need him to move around his eyebrows more?

Does this not look like a person who has been hurt? but at the same time he is determined to find out what's going, at the same time you can see that he is thinking real deep, and at the same time....you feel a bit creeped out because you wonder what he might do next?

Take a look at his eyes, it's sad yet it's determined.

Anyways I do not know why I am even trying to convince you.... you did say it wasn't satisfying you hence it's just your opinion so I won't be clicking the negative button on your comment...at least you weren't being rude saying his just a idol like some people have said.

(YOUTUBE) 110707 Yoochun in Miss Ripley interview

[Guest imogene_af]

nguthien- I know what you mean...I find that their love for each other is based on an obsession. Girlfriday explained it quite well that YooHyun seems to have this scary side to him that just wants her no matter what. Because he has set it within himself to get Miri. He is pretty much set up as a dark character too, his warmth somehow looking like smokes and mirrors at this point. I think Miri seems to be loving him in her own twisted way of loving someone...it is more of an obsession for both of them. I feel like I was "tricked" to with YooHyun's warmth and how his darkness is just dying to get out. Miri unleashed it. Miri shattered him.

I don't understand why one would think Park Yoochun is doing bad here...he is excellent in his quiet moments. His eyes spell out both pain and hatred...I feel the last two episodes were the only times he actually got to shine. I always thought YooHyun was too contained and I blamed it on Yoochun's lack of experience...but then I realized it was part of his story. The character was contained because he was trained to also wear his mask...seeing his world crumble because of Miri...the darkness that was just whirling lightly before has now clouded over him. And as I said ...it just feels so real.

PYC is doing an excellent job,IMHO.

[TRANS] 110706 JYJ Park Yoochun, Sharp Nose Bridge That Could Cut Paper, “The Pretty Boy Standard”

JYJ member Park Yoochun’s high nose bridge has become a hot topic.

Recently, a fan-taken photograph of Park Yoochun who was in the midst of filming MBC’s “Miss Ripley.” has been uploaded onto discussion boards. In the image, Park Yoochun is at an accessories shop, looking attentively at the accessories.

Park Yoochun, who had cut his hair for the change in his character Song Yoo Hyun, looked quick and alert. Also, he lowers his head slightly in a manner that accentuates his nose, showing his sharp nose bridge that could almost cut through paper, creating a passionate buzz among the netizens.

Netizens who saw this photograph said, “how can his nose bridge be so high?” “with a nose bridge so sharp it could cut through paper, a true pretty boy,” “Park Yoochun’s charm explodes in a suit,” “I want a present from Park Yoochun too” and other comments.

[TRANS] 110706 Park Yoochun Adds ‘Etiquette Man’ To His List Of Nicknames That Includes ‘Warm City Man’ And ‘Prince

In ‘Miss Ripley’, ‘Prince’ Park Yoochun added ‘Etiquette Man’ to his list of nicknames.

In episode 11 of MBC’s Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Miss Ripley’ which aired on the 4th, Park Yoochun is seen carrying Jung Young Suk to his car and escorting her to the hospital after she faints. The fact that Song Yoo Hyun could not just simply pass by an old person in need of help and was even prepared to escort her to the hospital right away proves once more why Park Yoochun, a warm and righteous Prince Charming, is the perfect man.

The scene was filmed on the 30th of June and though filming took a toll on Park Yoochun as he had to run in temperatures over 30℃ with Jung Young Suk on his back, he was able to perfect the scene without a single NG.

The production company praised the actor and said, “Song Yoo Hyun’s thoughtful, well-mannered and perfect character in the drama is very similar to Park Yoochun’s personality in real life. Many people see him as a role model because he always works hard in everything he does.“

‘Miss Ripley’, which is arousing the curiosity of its viewers as they wait to see when Jang Miri will plummet and fall, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 9:55pm.

I don't think I even need to defend him tbh, the fact that he is receiving a lot of praise from both critics and Kdrama fans in SKKS n now from a lot of hardcore real international drama fans speak it all and I am really glad about it.

I just wanna say that subtle acting requires more than facial acting. As long as it is subtle, it is hard for u to see if u don't really watch the drama and feel the character. Characters like LSJ and SYH are harder to portrait to be praised and be loved, they are not like comical characters that allow u to see their emotions so easily like LMH's character in City Hunter.

Don't worry tho, we get used to the discrimination that ppl give to idols who come to acting field. I am not going to say that his acting is as great as veteran actors but I am confident enuff to say that Yoochun portraits SYH really well from the very first ep of Miss Ripley until now.

[Guest Oz]

^^ this.

i feel like people who say his acting is just "good for a newbie" or still very limited

are just prejudiced because of his idol roots.

i didnt know he was a singer when i watched SKKS and i didnt even think he was a rookie

Its like praising an idol turned actor for what might actually be a natural acting ability is blasphemy and thus must be prefaced with "good compared to idol actors"

and yoochun isnt even an idol anymore.

[winterlove]

I don't know but I do like the turnaround from epi 11 and 12 onwards, and it's painful to see the last part of epi 12 when Miri says she really loves YH, although some people are saying they don't feel Miri true love for YH, but it was the best part for me.

I must say this drama can be quite confusing because the writer are reluctant to portray what the characters truly want directly. Hmmmm....on Yoochun's acting, I also feel that YH's character is not coming out, it seem as though they want to show that YH is strong, but sometimes I feel that his eyes are quite blinded, I mean how could he not know Miri's real self until now and how could he fall in love with her so easily and get out easily too. But I hope epi 13 will turn out good.

[Guest imogene_af]

upii_88 - it broke my heart reading what you said on how Lee Hwa can stand being in an airconditioned room, wearing designer clothes... while her daughter lived a life as a hostess wearing cheap, rainbow-ish clothes and being grabbed and touched by men. Seriously, Lee Hwa is so unforgivable. But I do not want her to have a chance to atone for her sins, I want her to SUFFER. If she has to live life knowing fully well that she damaged her daughter plus losing everything in the process, it will be very satisfying for me.

[Guest swtemi]

To be honest Micky Yoonchun's acting is not that good or its not good enough to portray his character....I didnt watch SSK so I can tell how he did in that drama that he gets praised so much and also was able to be chosen for MR but I really think he needs to improve more and more..So far he portrays a very warm and kind of naive character so it should be tough on him but whenever he has communications with Miri, the feeling in his eyes or his way of talking or expressing dont satisfy me at all.

I actually agree with you.

I loved Yoochun in SSK Scandal, but in here I am not feeling it at all. I agree with you with the look in his eyes, I have seen far more experienced actors who can have that look that tells you they are definitely in love. But with practice everyone will improve, so I do give kudos to Yoochun for taking on this role.

I feel no chemistry between the two. It actually doesn't even make sense to me, he basically fell in love with her beauty in the beginning and everyone seemed so rushed with the marriage. If anything, I thought Miri and Mr. Jang HAD more chemistry.

I want to keep watching and see how Miri will learn her lesson. But besides that, not much else.

I thought maybe I could vent a little here...

While Miri's mother is no good and she deserves some consequences, which I'm sure the writer will let us see, whether it's by finding out Miri is her daughter or having everything exposed - my most frustrated character is Miri.

I feel so sympathy for her. From the beginning til now, she uses the excuse of being an orphan for the reason why people do not accept her. She's pitying herself. But I can't feel for her at all, she's actually using that to get what she wants.

the SECOND she found out SH was rich, she cheated on Mr. Jang. Because of that, I could never feel for her even if she said she truly loved Yoochun, because she lied and cheated.

Anyways, that's all I have to say for now.

[mimi26]

I still stick with my opinion that Yoohyun is not a well-developed character and that's part of the reason why so many people are confused about YH's love for Miri. I do understand some of your frustration ilovebmb with Yoohyun and there were times for me as well when the chemistry b/w Miri and YH was not there since it was hard to understand what made him fall so much in love with her. I thought Yoochun did a good job with what he got since the character itself was confusing. So please wait until you see the dark Yoohyun before you make a judgement coz I personally feel he has convincingly brought out the transition in Yoohyun from the sweet and naive guy to the cold and distant Yoohyun who keeps a lid on his emotions.

Everything now depends on how Yoohyun will react and whether Miri realises it's better to confess than wait for the day when her glass world comes crashing down. But it was interesting how YH asked MH whether he had told Miri the real reason why he had fallen for her. I wonder what is going on in Yoohyun's head. There sure are layers to him and I hope the writer does full justice to unravelling the layers one by one. Also I wonder whether Heejoo will dare to confess to YH about her feelings before she goes away. That would have been great. I don't see YH falling for Heejoo but I want her to get the whole pain out of her system and move on with her life.

[Guest ngthuhien149]

Whether YH really falls in love with Miri or not is still unclear now (I personally don't think he does bcoz as u said I dun feel the chemistry as well). I think YH really sets up the meaning of love in his own way not the standard love that we know, hence I think he misunderstood what love was. In the scene near the river, I think that is when I am quite sure he himself realized that he did not love MR, that was when he remembered about what MH said to him. Ppl said it was because he was angry that Miri cheated on him, nah I think it is because he was disappointed and disbelieve in himself. Basically what MH said to him was the love MH felt for Miri not the other way so whether MR cheated on YH or not was still unknown. The reason why he acted so hurt like that is bcoz he realized that the feeling gave MR was not love as he thought when MH's was.

I want to feel sympathy for MR so bad but the writer really goes the wrong way. How can I feel sympathy for her in the scene she shamelessly dragged MH to the rooftop and asked him why he fired her position, when she shamelessly bashed MH as a bastard when he dismissed her from the PR position? She should know her self that she is not at the position to ask for any thing not even mention how rude she is to him. It is just exactly the same as the scene when HJ slapped her. I hoped now when she loved s1, she would find her sense back but I was disappointed She even slandered MH to YH. srsly she should remember that he is the one that brought her into life again and even when he knows everything he does nothing to harm her that she doesn't deserve it. Also the scene with HJ, she was so shameless srsly. How can she ask HJ to help her now?She should stop giving her so much right and requiring ppl to sacrifice for her. She is going too far and I just want her to stop. There are only 4 eps left, if writer wants her to have a good ending, please stop her, if not, then she did right.

[apqaria]

upii/upamak, don't keep apologizing for your posts. Love them all

ngthuhien, I totally understands you when you say that you can't feel sympathy for Miri and I won't deny that I was frustrated too about the scenes you have mentioned but I think it was given us intentionally by the writer and you can even notice that we must have one of those scenes in actually every episode. I think we are not required to sympathies her it may be the opposite.

Those frustrated scenes are the most scenes keeps me confused each episode and feel depressed and surely angry of Miri's actions but I actually love them and even keep repeating them when I watch the episodes, isn't that weird?

I just think that those scenes are the ones really prove and show how twisted Miri's head is and how she sees and understands things with that damaged logic of hers. You can see that although she feels bad and guilty towards MH and in the scene when she steel HJ drawing you can feel that she was affected by HJ letter and looks to their photo together, but again she don't let herself affected by those feelings and she keep escaping to the world she created by her deception and lies and so, lie to MH and even frame him and steal HJ's drawings. I also think her love for YH (which is also her own way of loving) keeps her more determined to keep living in that world because she have never felt love or happiness or respected in her past and so, she thinks she is nothing outside that fake world and can't ever be loved outside of it too.

I can feel that she is really living the lie and each moment in that world of hers completely. And we can see that she is now really deceiving and lying to herself which is exactly makes me still feel pity and sympathy for her more than her tragic background just because I always pity such kind of people who seek to destroy themselves (Weird again? )

That is why I said before that she really need to get a HUGE SHOCK to pulls her out of that fake and imaginary world and return her senses back to her mind.

Sorry if what I am saying is making no sense, it is just what my stupid head telling me. LOL

Warning: long post, and to keep it from being longer, I'm going to cut the posts that I am quoting from.

but I still do not understand how you are saying the feelings in his eyes is not there...well but then again you said it's not satisfying to you...so there is nothing we can do here...

I hope you know it's not necessary that one needs to show soo much expressions for them to be called a good actor. Do you need him to move around his eyebrows more? Does this not look like a person who has been hurt?

I don't understand why one would think Park Yoochun is doing bad here...he is excellent in his quiet moments. His eyes spell out both pain and hatred...I feel the last two episodes were the only times he actually got to shine.

I agree that Yoochun has done a good job of portraying Dark YH. However, I agree that he did a poor job of portraying YH in Episodes 1 - 11.5. Either that, or the character was very poorly written. Most likely, I think it's a combination of the two. Yes, he's portraying the pain, betrayal, and determination well, but he certainly didn't play Nice YH very well.

I just wanna say that subtle acting requires more than facial acting. As long as it is subtle, it is hard for u to see if u don't really watch the drama and feel the character. Characters like LSJ and SYH are harder to portrait to be praised and be loved, they are not like comical characters that allow u to see their emotions so easily like LMH's character in City Hunter.

Don't worry tho, we get used to the discrimination that ppl give to idols who come to acting field.

I think I'm insulted that you think others here don't appreciate subtle acting. Or to assume that those who criticize Yoochun's acting do so only because we're biased against his idol status. To say that its hard for others to see subtle acting implies that we're blind. I actually completely agree with you about subtle acting being better. And I really hate it when bad actors think that acting over the top = good comedic acting. The true comedy dramas are best when there is subtle acting. But I think its really ironic that you point to LMH and City Hunter as an example because I think it shows just where Yoochun and/or the development of his character are sorely lacking. LMH's character in City Hunter has his humorous side, and it's not overly done. You then see him switch to his City Hunter mode and the switch is believable. This week, we saw his character go through a dark switch in City Hunter, and again, it was believable. So just because a character is written to have a humorous side doesn't necessarily means that its easier to portray. Those of us who criticize Yoochun's acting do so because it's our opinion that he lacked in his earlier portrayl of YH's character.

Maybe I'm not focused on every little blink of YH's eyes in this drama and so yes, maybe I'm not watching YH's character as closely as others. But that's because I am paying attention to the nuances of ALL the characters and their development and how everything is being tied into the plot instead of focusing only on the idol.

I think its terrible that people here are so focused on Yoochun and defending him that they can't allow for differences in opinion. And even the posters who say, "well that's your opinion and you're entitled to it" are still very snide in following up with comments that imply that those who disagree are wrong or biased. Its my opinion that those who can't accept the criticism are the ones who are biased. Of course, that's just my opinion. What I know is that I didn't watch this drama just to criticize someone's acting. The proof: I don't care who Mickey Yoochun is. I don't really listen to kpop and I didn't watch SKKS because the Korean was too difficult for me to understand. I didn't hate him or love him when I started watching Miss Ripley, nor do I love him or hate him now. So far, we've only seen a little of Dark YH and Yoochun is doing a great job so far. However, Yoochun never owned the earlier Nice YH character. Both Yoochun and the character were all over the place.

I agree with you with the look in his eyes, I have seen far more experienced actors who can have that look that tells you they are definitely in love.

I feel no chemistry between the two. It actually doesn't even make sense to me, he basically fell in love with her beauty in the beginning and everyone seemed so rushed with the marriage. If anything, I thought Miri and Mr. Jang HAD more chemistry.

Exactly. This is why some of us criticize his acting. Because his earlier portrayal leading up to Episode 12 didn't really show him being in love. And I agree with what [bold]mimi26[/bold] says about his character being poorly developed. I don't know why YH first fell in love with MR, nor can he explain it himself. Remember when his friend questioned him on what he liked so much about her and his response was that it just felt like fate? And it's not just about his relationship with Miri, but with everyone. His character was just so strange. I think I know where YH's character was supposed to go, but the writer did a very poor job of developing the character. And I understand that since her main focus was on Miri's character. After all, none of the characters are well-developed other than Miri. But, a better more experienced actor would have dealt better with such a poorly developed character. For insance, MH is not developed fully either, but the actor does a great job portraying him that he seems like a more fully-developed character.

I want to feel sympathy for MR so bad but the writer really goes the wrong way.

I don't think the writer is going the wrong way because I don't think we are supposed to sympathize with MiRi. I think MiRi is written to be an unliked character. She's someone we are supposed to sympathize with because of her bad background, but poor upbringing and circumstances doesn't excuse the choices that she continues to make. And I'm not talking about her having to work as a drink hostess. I'm talking about the choices that she continues to make (i.e. stealing HJ's documents, lying to MH, lying to YH). In addition, it's her warped view of reality that makes her unlikeable. Whenever someone confronts her about her lies, she attacks and says its someone else's fault that she had to lie. Lots of dramas have been written about people overcoming their tough backgrounds to succeed later in life. And although they were faced with some difficult situations and perhaps made some unethical choices along the way, the way has been paved for their eventual redemption. This is not what MR is about. Of course, none of us knows how it will end (other than the foreshadowing at the beginning), but I think this drama is about the consequences of 2 women's choices in life: (1) Lee Hwa and her decision to abandon Miri, and (2) Miri's decision to lie and claw her way to the top. And the real effects that their choices have on those around them (HJ, YH, MH, etc).

U got me totally wrong at the LMH's part, I didn't mean that LMH's character is easy to portray or facial acting means overacting as u thought. Maybe since my English is not so good that u misunderstood me. 1st, by facial acting I mean the way some actors use facial expression to express their characters more, it doesn't mean overacting. I personally LMH is really good at acting, I like his facial expression a lot. Moreover, I think I used the wrong word by comical, what I mean is the kind of character that has a lot of obvious emotion, their change will be more clearly for u to see, thus they can show more of their skills. I have never said here that Yoochun is a good actor if u know me. I know I am bias so I rarely praise his acting. I once criticized that YH is a really poorly written character, and I once was really mad at how YH felt in love with Miri as well. I am the one who often says that there is such a huge lack of chemistry between those 2. I also said in the same comment that u quoted me that MH's feeling toward Miri is real love n YH's is not. So by saying I am defending him bcoz I am bias, u totally got me wrong. I think Yoochun needs to work on a lot of things in acting. He is not as experienced as other cast obviously. His facial expression is not so good to be honest, but his eyes emoted really well. However, if u really read my comment, u see that I am assuming that YH does not love MR at all. If u do read dramabean's recap and ppl's comments here (or u can check imogene_af's post again), we did not see the feeling that YH has for MR as love. We don't know why yet, I am leaving it for the writer to develop more so now I won't say any thing about the love btw MR and YH just like what Mimi said.

About the discrimination for idols, u can read my comment again, since she said she was sorry for saying that, that is why I said not to worry since we heard worse things than that, I did not refer any of u who doesn't like his acting as the person who doesn't like idols' acting.

About Miri's character, I meant if the writer wants us to sympathy her then she is going the wrong way, but if not then she is doing rite (I said it in the last sentences).

Well u critidized me who, u think, generalized ppl who dun like YC's acting but look like you also did the same by generalizing ppl who defend his acting just bcoz they are bias.

I am sorry for making ppl misunderstand me tho ^^
