Lee Si-a and Lee Il-hwa Unleash Fiery 'Mother-Daughter Ripley' Rivalry in New Drama Poster
KBS2's upcoming daily drama, 'The Sensual Ripley' (tentative title), has unveiled its main poster, dramatically showcasing a stark black and red contrast between lead actresses Lee Si-a and Lee Il-hwa. The drama, set to premiere on September 22nd, promises a gripping tale of a mother and daughter-in-law entangled in a web of lies as they battle for control of the Gunhyang House.
In the striking main poster, Lee Si-a portrays Cha Jeong-won, a woman who chose a life of deception out of revenge and ambition, her hidden desires hinted at by her vibrant red trench coat despite her seemingly melancholic gaze. Opposite her, Lee Il-hwa embodies Han Hye-ra, a mother who abandoned familial ties for her own desires, exuding an alluring elegance with her black and gold ensemble and sharp, inscrutable eyes. The tagline, 'A precarious relationship, a twisted destiny,' perfectly captures the doomed dynamic between the two.
Complementing the main visual, a group poster featuring all ten main cast members was also released. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, the actors are gathered around a luxurious table, each displaying a unique expression that hints at underlying secrets and complex relationships within the Gunhyang family and their associates. The phrase 'Closer than family, yet more dangerous than anyone' further heightens the anticipation for the drama's intricate narrative.
The production team expressed their excitement, stating, "The posters depict the confrontation between two mothers who start a war of lies after abandoning their kinship, as well as the precarious family dynamics that appear happy but are on the brink." They urged viewers to look forward to 'The Sensual Ripley,' which is expected to deliver an immersive experience.
'The Sensual Ripley' is scheduled to air its first episode on September 22nd.
