whoah! she looks rather thin in the first pic but oh so sexy in the second one! ;)

She looks really beautiful ^^ A bit thin, but maybe that's just the way she is? @_@~ Her arms!! XD She's pulling the look off, though, the red dress and stuff ^^ So not going to watch this drama, though! XD Not my thing D:

Ah, Lee Da Hae...should I look forward to the crazy comments this will bring???

Not really liking the plot of the drama but i am liking LDH's photo. She looks pretty as always!

That second picture is gorgeous!

That dress is hot!

But she looks really thin. . .

She really needs to eat... She's so thin! Pretty though :). But... Put on some weight please!!

the world is chaotic enough, i'm not into melodrama stuff. i do loved her in My Girl but that's it. I prefer funny and trendy stuff nowadays.. :)

OMG sexy back! :P

She is Soooooooooo SEXY!. at last something for us men to SEE on dramabeans.

her nose seems unnatural?

Well, if you want a balanced drama world, why not weigh the cutesy with something more serious.

*sigh* Prejudice again, but oh well..this is your blog after all. Hands off. :)

Wow! she rocks! I LOVE YOU LDH. Very Very sexy.

JB i take it that you're leaning towards NOT recapping this then?
Question: I love you and GF but if you guys arent going to do it will you atleast consider Cassiopeia and Red Pill??
They were on fire recapping Sungkyunkwan scandal
love.them.
…………………….
LDH looks Beautiful!

Pretty pictures, but I don't think I'm going to end up watching Ripley... too much melodrama and my eyes tend to try and roll themselves right out of my head. There's only so many GASP HOW UNBELIEVABLY CONVENIENT AND ALSO LIFE ALTERINGLY TRAGIC moments you can have before I just get downright annoyed.. <_<

I know it says Lee Da He on the tittle, but....

Beautiful, I cant wait for it :) counting down to the days

Second pic is awesome.

woo da-hae! might actually watch this.

Who will win the ratings war this time?
Baby faced beauty no longer seems to be a strong contender so i think i'll put my money on Lie To Me Vs. Ripley.
I was surprised to see a YEH drama get a 9% start but then i heard it was because of a national Holiday. YEH's star power is tremendous and i expect the ratings to steadily rise but i feel like Ripley is tailored to Korean tastes and will give LTM a run for the money. We also cannot forget the veteran cast and Yoochun's status as korean ahjumma killer after SKKS. Also the Duo's high ratings will benefit Ripley.

Even though i am looking forward to Ripley more before Lie to Me aired i was expecting YEH to decimate the competition but i guess its hard to beat a Sageuk thats been running for ever immediately.
Either way May will be a wonderful month for dramas.

I'm so tired of the plucky heroines.

This is a welcome change. Out of all the May dramas, this is the one I'm anticipating the most.

Holy COW! Those pics are gorgeous!

I didn't really enjoy her acting in recent years but I think she has the image of my Ripley. I foresee the fan-war comments already, will check this for MC's doze ^^

The only drama I really like right now is Best Love. It''s chaming, witty with many LOL moments and I'm just in the mood for it.

I'm not sure what to make of Ripley. I might watch the first and last episodes like I do with every melodrama lol.

I can't wait for this drama!!! I need it like yesterday! TT

blegh. that description of the character is sooo lame.

Please make it really dark, not the half-ass-she's-actually-a-good-girl kinda character.
Make her evil with no remorse, that'd be a challenge

Sort of like Lie to Me? May I know which part? SEH and LDH's character is so different. The former is such a sweet heart but the latter's character sound manipulative. 2 total opposite different characters.

I dislike Flames of Desire and Thorn Birds. Too over the top for me personally. But, somehow I do not see Ripley in the same genre as these dramas nor the same as Lie to Me. I will watch a few episodes before I judge. I do hope Ripley is not a let-down like Lie To Me.

From AKP

"Lee Da Hae stated, “In this world, there are dull but endearing flowers like the dandelion, and there are also flowers like roses, which captivate you the moment you lay eyes on them. My character, ‘Miri’, is like a rose – she lures people in with her charms, as they remain oblivious of her thorns. I’ll be working my best to accurately portray ‘Miri’, a woman who lives life her own way.”

The main plot for “Ripley” centers around the hypocrisy and desires of people.

It revolves around a woman’s unintentional lie, which ultimately disturbs the lives of those around her by exposing their truths and secrets.

The pilot episode will air on May 30th."

i think lee da hae has acted quite well in Green Rose. that's a melodrama.... right?? From the sound of this drama---"hypocrisy and desires of people"--- it wouldn't differ much from Tazza, Midas or Green Rose, I guess. I think I won't follow up on this drama, not a fan of melodramas.

On the other hand, I wonder if this drama is the best choice for Micky Yoochun's second drama... seems too serious for someone who has just started a drama career.

LDH looks beautiful and gorgeous in those photos but a
little on the thin side. Big fan of hers and looking forward
to her upcoming series Ripley. Fighting!

i am not a fan of melodramas either but I'll make an exception for Ripley. First, theres Yoochun whom I absolutely adore in SKKS. (& who led me to the world of JYJ.sigh.)
Second, LDH who was in My Girl. My first kdrama which of course pulled me into kdrama laland. I've never seen any of her other dramas so i look forward to seeing her this time.

I can endure watching few first episodes of melodramas but when it comes to the part where you go from hmmm..nahh...arghhhh...what the... do something !! s^$&@@#. i stop. Buy I am making an exception for Ripley. so Yey!

What about Kang Hye Jung? Where does she fit into the love triangle (or square?)

After seeing her in Flowers for my Life, I so wish Kang Hye Jung would be the lead in another drama! :( I would have loved to see her with yoochun!

That dress looks familiar. It's looks like the dress which Shin Mina wore last year for O'live TV CFs.

She's pretty but dont you think she's too thin?

I think all actresses are way too thin. O_o

Their friggin bones are sticking out of their shoulders.
The only normal one was that girl way back in the drama, "My Name I Sam Soon."

But why is it that we are picky about the way they look? As a woman, I think we should be more kind to each other... since we all face insecurities. :)

LDH looks so sad lately though...its her eyes. They show such sadness. Unless that's her character? Eh... will wait to watch. :)

She looks pretty and sexy. But again, she always looks pretty and polish in EVERY her drama, even in her role as a runaway slave in Chuno. LOL Girl seems not be able to uglified (is there a word like that??) herself for once. And is her character supposed to be a professor or what? Why she dresses like a seductress in this poster?

wow..that last picture is utterly gorgeous!!

oh noes! does that mean you won't be recapping Ripley? please Javabeans and Girlfriday! please tell me you guys will do recaps for this one! i will be watching this just for Yoochun and I am soooo not into melodramas either so your recaps will be greatly appreciated!

i cant wait for this!!!!! seriously yoochun and lee dae hee <3333 i loved her in my girl and she looks really pretty in the posters

Ah, I don't know if I can handle Lie to Me without the funny...but I do like LDH, maybe I'll give the first episode a shot. I also want to see whether Micky has improved since Sungkyunkwan Scandal, although he was good in that I found him a BIT green, and I'm looking forward to his development as an actor.

am i the only person who doesn't think she's pretty/gorgeous in the picture? the dress is so-drop-dead-gorgeous, but i can name 2 dozens other actress who can pull the dress out better.. :/

(just to tell her fans that i'm not her anti.. )

drop. dead. gorg. DRESS. ..heh. :P

an LDH post here and an LDW one right on top of it? are we in my dreams and it's 2006 and there's a party on my TV?! :P

i dunno, i dunno, usual i-just-can't-seem-to-like-her comments, etc.

hm. ok. since it's LDH, I'm out.
