"We have high expectations for the show from what we have seen today." "Ms. Ripley," helmed by director Choi Yi-seop and written by scenarist Kim Sun-young, tells the story of a woman who lies about one thing and begins to lie about everything. She is then faced with the problem that she can lose everything because of the lies that she has made up. The show will hit airwaves every Monday and Tuesday nights in late May after current series "The Duo" finishes its run. ※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
