Miss Ripley

Jumping back in time to the here and now, we find Miri (Lee Dae Hye) in Fukuoka’s red-light district, Nakasu, working as a bar hostess and drinking with lecherous men for money.

Miri’s meeting with Myung-hoon, where she flippantly makes the remark that it would hardly matter if she had graduated from Tokyo University—he’s clearly not just going to hire some stranger off the street.

Myung-hoon heads back to his office to await the diploma confirmation faxes, where sure enough, the latest one comes in from Tokyo University stating that they were unable to confirm Miri’s graduation.
