[News] Extension nixed for 'Miss Ripley'.


[News] Extension nixed for Miss Ripley.

MBC has decided to forget the potential 4-episode extension for Miss Ripley, meaning it’ll end with its originally planned 16 episodes.

The reason given for the decision was that the actors’ schedules wouldn’t allow for an extension. The production rep stated that Lee Da-hae has activities planned in China soon after the drama wraps (assuming a 16-episode schedule), and that Yoochun is physically exhausted after his JYJ world tour and drama shoots. Especially since Miss Ripley is a drama whose pacing relies on calculated buildups of suspense.

Plus, we can’t forget that the ending was foreshadowed in the first episode, so it’s not like you could just hijack the direction and end it differently than it had been set up to be.

Therefore, sageuk series 'Gye Baek' will follow 'Miss Ripley' with a late July premiere, rather than August.
