Ripley Here I Come...
So, I'm officially ga-ga for Ripley staring Lee Da Hae because the minute I saw these pictures I was like "dayum, this is what I'm talking about." There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Lee Da Hae's character Miri is as unconventional as an ipod in church. I mean, look at her...
I don't think I've ever met a character like Miri in kdramaland so if it's indeed based on someone's life, she really lived an interesting life, didn't she?
Anyway, I also have newly released character synopsis of the main four leads. Miri's character profile just continues to pull me in :)
Jang Miri (Actress : Lee Da Hae)
Japanese Name : Mirai
“The one who bears a lonely soul, howling in a world of darkness.”
Straightforward, confident, fears nothing, and very realistic….
She was abandoned by her parents as a child, and doesn’t trust society and people. Therefore, she is emotionally violent, vain, selfish and very greedy. After being adopted in Japan, she was sold to a club to pay off her stepfather’s debts, and led a life of dread. She then escapes back to Korea, and begins working in a hotel, beginning her new life.
Jang Myeong Hoon (Actor : Kim Seung Woo)
Hotel’s Managing Director
“Always aiming for No. 1, and often becoming No. 1, the perfect man.”
A man of few words, cautious, accurate, calm, with a strong sense of responsibility. Once he decides on something, he will never look back….
In short, he is a man who has never messed up, a trustworthy elite, but not someone you can lean on. He meets Miri, who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Initially, he plans to fire Miri but soon discovers her good points, and helps her to succeed. In the end, he is unable to control himself and falls in love with her.
Yutaka (Actor : Park Yoochun)
Heir to Mondo Resorts, Korean Name : Song Yoo Hyun
“Cautious, only seeking the truth… This generation’s Prince Charming”
Buried in his heart is his longing for his birth mother.
At the same time, he often feels apologetic to his step-mother, who is unable to have children of her own, and because of this, hopes that she can be involved in the running of the company as well. He has a strong relationship with his step-mother, and returns to the country for the resort. He meets Miri at the study hostel where he is temporarily residing in, and realizes that Miri also shares a similar loneliness….
Moon Hui Joo (Actress : Kang Hye Jung)
Miri’s Younger Sister from the Orphanage
“Obedient, innocent, weak, pure, yet smart and quick witted.”
Losing her parents to a traffic accident, she became an orphan at a young age.
Her body is weak, and she is very introverted, always quiet at the orphanage. She liked Miri from the first time they met, because Miri was her exact opposite, with strong opinions. She likes following Miri around, and when Miri was adopted to Japan, she whole-heartedly wished that Miri would find happiness, a warm-hearted child.
