Park Yoochun MBC’s “Come To Play” Appearance
The main cast for MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “Ripley” was to appear on MBC’s “Come to Play” but an apparent “Misfire” happened (That resulted in the “Ripley” cast members not appearing on the show). According to Star News, a source within the drama production team stated that the main cast for “Ripley” Kim Seung Woo, Kang Hae Jung, Lee Da Hae, and Park Yoochun were putting out feelers to appear on “Come to Play.”
According to Star News, the production team for “Come to Play” had asked if the cast for “Ripley” could appear without Park Yoo Chun. The response from the drama team was that they would just not appear on “Come To Play.”

Star News speculates and also states that many people are beginning to question if this is because of SM Entertainment’s influence. Even broadcasting companies themselves are becoming wary of entertainment agencies. According to Star News, a person within a broadcasting company said, “Should we have to worry so much about entertainment agencies even for the PR of dramas produced by our own company?”
The unofficial response that “Come to Play” is that Park Yoochun and the other cast members of “Ripley” are not appearing because of scheduling differences.
First Script Reading
MBC’s new Mon/Tues drama “Goodbye Miss Ripley” already made headlines with its stellar casting of Kim Seung Woo, Lee Da Hae, Park Yoo Chun, and Kang Hye Jung. On March 21st, the cast got together in Ilsan for their first script reading. This new melodrama is about an ambitious woman who does anything and everything she can to gain what she wants – that is until her extensive lies catch up to her.
The drama stars veteran actor Kim Seung Woo, JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun, “Chuno’s” Lee Da Hae, and Tablo’s wife Kang Hye Jung. Idol group JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun successfully crossed over from singer to actor with his drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal.” This project is also Lee Da Hae’s first drama since “Chuno” 18 months ago. “Goodbye Miss Ripley” also marks the return Kang Hye Jung’s return to the small screen in four years.
Representatives of Curtain Call Media, the company producing the drama, stated: “The four lead actors have extreme passion for acting, and it definitely showed at the reading. Their goal is to make ‘Goodbye Miss Ripley’ into a huge success.”
“Goodbye Miss Ripley” is set to air once “Mate” ends in late May.
Their First Scene Together
Another contender for May Madness & Mayhem: Battle for Viewers’ Hearts is upon us. (I’ll rename it in June. I just need thirty days to come up with something.) Ripley (formerly Goodbye, Miss Ripley) has released stills of its lead actors Lee Da-hae and Micky Yoochun shooting their first scene together. (This time it’s him. I checked. Or… possibly his evil twin. Drat!)
Lee Da-hae plays Jang Miri, who is loosely based on Shin Jeong-ah, a now infamous professor who faked her academic credentials to climb the social ladder. Her character is described as a femme fatale, which is quite broad, but we can expect her to be a dark heroine, who “tells a lie that changes her life.” And then has to perpetuate that lie, which is always the problem with lying, isn’t it?
Micky Yoochun plays Yutaka, a Korean-Japanese hotel chaebol son. Hm. Yunno, on paper, this drama sounds EXACTLY the same as Lie to Me. Hotel chaebol son, heroine who tells a really big lie, then romantic entanglements ensue. Is Lie to Me just Ripley plus comedy? Or will Ripley be Lie to Me minus the fun?
To her credit, Miri doesn’t know that Yutaka is a gazillionaire’s son when they first meet, in this scene. But she reportedly tells an eensy weensy lie by mistake, which begets another lie, and another, and another, eventually snowballing into a massive avalanche of fraud that she can’t undo. Interesting. Yutaka falls in love with her (early on, pre-avalanche), which sounds like it might pose a tiny problem for him. Or yunno… be the source of his tragic demise. Life Lesson: First comes kissing, then comes background check, verified by a third party, followed by a waiting period of ninety days… and THEN comes love.
Ripley premieres Monday May 30 on MBC, following The Duo. If you’re making brackets, it’s up against Lie to Me and Baby-Faced Beauty. Place your bets!
