Lee Da Hae becomes a redhead for “Ripley”

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.”

The pilot episode is scheduled to air on May 30th.

On May 11th, MBC released posters of actress Lee Da Hae for their upcoming drama, “Ripley“.

The photoshoot was held at the MBC Dream Center, and it aimed to bring out her character’s two-fold charms. Emphasizing her femininity with a fierce red dress, the star exuded a femme fatale charm. When one looks closer, however, there’s a sense of innocence in her facial expression that lures the viewer in.

Staff members commented, “Every picture looked perfectly suitable for a high class photoshoot. Even when she was turning her back to the camera, you could just sense what her facial expression was like.”

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.
