Why did Tae Wook decide that suicide was the best were of protecting her when she didn't want him to go to jail? I always knew that Kang or Ra El would die, I felt that this drama was going to have a tragic ending. So youre saying his death will cover everything up, close another dark chapter in Hye-rans life and let her live a perfect-looking life at the top. It was gorgeous and fit the mood of the show so well. Didn't you know? There are many dramas which dont end as well as they start. We fell in love with Misty. But I'm having fun with variety shows! Pedro Pascal Swerves a Smooch from Helen Mirren on 'The Graham Norton Show' New Shows & Movies To Watch This Weekend: 'Party Down' on Starz + More He is used as a Deus Ex Machina,so unreal Also, powerful women destroy men. Her estranged husband, who's a lawyer, decides to defend her and hence starts their journey to fall back in love. Synopsis. Woo Sin still has the real "Adamas" and has fooled Hye Soo by giving her a fake one. One of the central problems with. She pretends not to have seen the traffic violation letter while Tae-wook pretends not to notice that shes already seen it. So many bad things had happen and NONE of them deserved it. I had been increasingly bothered by the overly dramatic focus on the actors face staring silently, TW putting on his shirt, Hye Ran striding majestically in her pantsuits and always accompanied by more dramatic music. Particularly because with reference to her husband's behavior, it was really just an accident that could have just as well have resulted had she told him the truth about the coercion/blackmail and had he confronted KL to get him to back off with his threats. To be fair that may be the misty part of the drama, but Why? At the end, it is still satisfying ending for good ending gives viewer something to ponder upon. Even if MW is the writer's mouthpiece, this ending still left me feeling shortchanged. I was actually confused after I first saw the episode whether he died or not. If he'd actually investigated this well from the beginning, none of this would have happened. The drama ended perfectly and diluting it with the details of unaswered situations/people would reduce the impact of the ending. Eun Joo and the manager should have played a role in KLs death. That was important. She dumped Kevin Lee in pursuit of her ambitions and so why wouldn't she continue the facade of the grieving widow upon Tae Wook's death rather than revealing that Tae Wook was the murderer? In the end, she just became "Oprah" that should cater to what people want to see, and that she can make "magic" in her interviews. However, I saw even on other forums people seeing it as "punishment" for ambition, a-la "I guess you can't have it all". Yes, you read me right - last four episodes. I am also more against it if we add sexism to the mix and say that for women specifically choosing a career equals to making everyone around them miserable, themselves included. Then did all this work to either punish his wife or get her to love him, but Why? I wish they would have shown how she moves on after this. I mean, I know they were hinting at it (I was yelling at my TV "don't you kill Tae Wook!) I don't think that "you can't have a career and a happy family life" was the goal of the show, though I agree that this is kinda of the vibe, and I would have liked another well adjusted female character with a great career and nice family life (even without asking for someone with a kid or who was there for her mother's funeral, I would settle for good communication with their partner about major life decisions/issues). He is Kang Tae-wook, husband of news anchor Go Hye-ran. She goes back to her desk and waits for the news to blow up as we see Tae-wook walking to the police station. Why did he kill the manager Dong Hyun apart from his threatening GHR? This pisses off Zeus, who punishes Sisyphus. Gong Ryong himself is an obgyn doctor who gets the opportunity to visit space, while Eve Kim is a mixed-blood astronaut from South . I blame the incompetent detective for TWs death. I wouldn't mind a bit more suffering in exchange for a bit more closure. People are responsible for their actions, but actions also have consequences. It just wasn't perfect. The person I ended up liking the most is the Director. Pratik Handore. Unless the writer wants a season 2 the last few min of this show aren't my favorite. Who wouldn't want a happy ending for Hyeran where she gets her happy family with kids, her loving and loyal husband, thriving career, all of that while saving the day by taking down the bad guys? She understood that in giving and taking, she was doing all the taking and he all the giving (she asked herself what did she ever give him). I found this article explanation quite fitting for the drama. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); She did not want the truth she wanted blood and she purposely withheld information about the night her husband died including the fact that he was sleeping with another woman. Episode 16 the finale opens up with future Mr Park visiting his house to deal with the present-day Mr Park he can hear him present-self brutally hurting his wife. I just want to say all the beanies summed up my feelings of disappointed in the ending of the drama. Much better ending imho. But one thing is clear, Go Hye Ran was a wonderful, amazing, inspiring, beautiful, powersuit-working protagonist and I'll remember her for a long long time. Hye-ran is devastated to now know the truth, and wishes Tae-wook had just killed her when he learned about the affair. Now, while I don't agree with the complaint "she was blamed unfairly" (the only ones that blamed her were KL, who frankly kind of had a point about being abandoned because of poverty, though certainly not about everything he did after coming in contact with her at the airport, which was scummy and horrendous, as well as his widow, which had a marginal point and after all was not emotionally stable after having watched the cam footage and losing the kid -she could have trusted her friend when she told her she was disgusted by her husband and was coerced, on the other hand it's not clear whether she betrayed her to save her marriage by suppressing the information, or because she wanted that Blue House job, though it's clear that the claim that it was only am marriage of convenience, as her husband believes, is untrue: she knows her husband is the only one that accepted her fully for what she is, and said so in the car-, but should really have been more pissed with her husband or Ji-won, since her friend had really been coerced -sexual assault, as she told her- and blackmailed, and even with Ji-won she only capitalized on the affair, and did not force it to happen -she even was the one that told her friend, who would have otherwise been completely ignorant of the situation-), I agree with this point. I knew half way that Tae Wook was going to be the murderer and half hoped that they were going to turn that around (hence the big surprise). Those are two different things right? But when we talk about Kdramas with the best endings there are so many drama series that will come in to our mind. I became so emotionally invested and I never regret it. Seo Hee was supposed to be interviewed by Woo Sin for the book, but he disappeared. In the present, Tae-wook closes his eyes as a tear falls. . Dark, mature, suspenseful. odilettante: Which seems to be a point of this drama. .but this will at least reduce his sentence right? As such, I found the last episodes frustrating, watching time tick down to a finale that I knew wasn't going to contain resolution to the plotlines I cared about. Rambling thoughts (my apologies): They voluntarily fall like flies - the men who surround a femme fatale. Tell me about it. Plus, it was eerie how she kept rewinding the part where she spoke to the reporters after the first trial. All he had left was his pride and integrity and both got systematically stripped away during the series. [4] [5] It aired on JTBC 's Fridays and Saturdays at 23:00 ( KST) time slot from February 2 to March 24, 2018. Initially, i did feel like that they should have shown us more. Yeah, the ending did have big problems, like that fact that Myung-woo was in prison when Kevin was murdered so how come anyone would take his confession seriously? No one forced us to watch it. The drama is directed by Mao Wan-ri, written by Zhu Ren, Kim Nam-joo, Ji Jin-hee, Jeon Hye-jin, Qin Ji-zhou, Lee. May problem with the ending is the execution. Well, the verdict is out Misty isnt that rare drama. Runtime: Friday & Saturday 23:00. But everything you mentioned was actually apparent and i think i fell into that trap of not realising - which this show a great commentary on mental health and the importance of social support. *How did the chip end up in KLs pocket??*. Both dramas are beautifully made, and even until the last episodes people don't turn to be suddenly whatever else. The only constant in her life. I wanted Tae Wook to be stronger, and Myung Woo was strong in the wrong, delusional way. He didn't want his boss found out. Black expected the audience to accept the vague. The issue with that is that it was factually *not* true as per cam footage. But I guess its all about accepting peoples choices. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page "mary: The final barrier being himself? I did hate the ending but it's bittersweet hate. There are some things where her gender comes into play inevitably. The show did not even explain how possible it is for someone inside prison to order someone murder. Tae Wook I shouldnt have trusted you the moment you microwaved that steak. Tae-wook is touched that Hye-ran is considering delaying or covering up the truth for him, but its just a pipe dream for them. Sure, they left quite a few unanswered plot holes here and there but I'll forgive them for that. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); He ends up killing himself? Kariernya sebagai news anchor sangat cemerlang dan sukses. So, for all its flaws and loopholes, it does give us a armchair-gripping moments worthy of mystery thriller. She alone could see the figure in public spaces, leading to the idea that maybe she was hallucinating. I don't even really like steak, but **shudder** that is criminal. Yoon, upon learning that it contains footage of Hye-ran and Kevins affair, points out that the footage proves the opposite. And how his pursuit of love actually changed into something else. My Mister Ending. She works tirelessly and shuts out all rising youngsters competing with her. <3. Hes twisted in the sense that he had a love/hate relationship with GHR and her manipulation/ambitions (divorce papers in the draw) but in the process of defending her they both in fell in love and now he was trapped in his deceit. Obviously, she couldn't advertise that because it gave her more motive to kill him. Most kdrama lovers always wish for a happy ending for the main leads and the rest of the cast. Release Date: February 2, 2018 - March 24, 2018. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. A good friend of mine just don't watch this episode. Manager Lee hands Tae-wook a letter from Myung-woo. This highly anticipated drama disappointed viewers by becoming confusing halfway through the show and sealing it with an ending that left viewers with more questions than answers. Choices have consequences, good or bad, and blaming someone else for your actions will get you nowhere. I feelnothing. Why was the black box chip in Kevin Lees coat? Leaving her to deal with the guilt of Tae Wook 's suicide and Myung Woo's capital punishment isn't something a man who truly loved her would have done. Really Eun Soo is the victim?? So youre saying his death will cover everything up, close another dark chapter in Hye-rans life and let her live a perfect-looking life at the top. But the last episode sigh! Classification news. Just gonna repeat here what I said about the ending: Misty was a beautifully done drama for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed the 16 episodes train ride, despite the train chose to head into a misty filled tunnel at the end. Were all just driving into the mist hopefully with our eyes open, though. K-Dramas are the best when it comes to powerful cast, plot , ost and more. I don't know, probably yes, but not that soon, or even he wouldn't. but I totally missed the car crash sound and woowwwwwwww, I should've had my coffee before reading this recap. When you are doing stuff like not being by your mother's deathbed to get an interview, stopping and thinking about whether you are on the right path and what you are doing is rational seems perfectly sane (maybe she hated her and it's ok, for example). When his father asks why, he admits its because he killed someone. But mostly he vowed to support Hye-ran, which is why he accepted his punishment (as described by Myung-woo): to protect Hye-ran until the bitter end. The whole episode building up to the not-so-big reveal was properly executed. Don't ever do the same." Ji Won was the one actually sleeping with him but nobody seemed to care about that. He was also selfish in that GHR was denied the chance to present the news about TW being the murder- her want to create a just society. 12 - Shock) witness: \"the suspect is a man\" ! Not the moral equivalent of MW or even the widow's assault with a fork, could have happened literally to anyone playing in a park. Have been enjoying exchanging views of what-might and what-might-nots. Letting Myung-woo take the fall is perfectly in character for her. When the writers said the ending was going to be unexpected. They had Tae Wook asking Hye Ran in the voiceover So, are you happy? They were unnecessary, too, because for example Myung-woo could've simply been released from jail on the day Kevin died and thus this plot hole would have been removed. Min suspiciously says he had things to put in his capsule . However, this ALMOST made my second, as this drama was utter perfection until almost the very end. 12 - Shock) witness: \"the suspect is a man\" . Perhaps it was the message from the drama to viewers Woman, you cant be happy if you choose career over love. The same point about lack of communication goes for the abortion issue. Like a femme fatale who destroys the men because they loved her to much. When I say I like the ending, I mean I like it thematically. He vowed that he would make Hye-ran fall in love with him, and she did unfortunately a little too late. i enjoyed this drama with all of its turns and surprises it should've been called Twisty the cast was stellar, acting was stellar, pantsuits stellar but the fluffy floral dress wasn't in character, especially when she was at home. I would also not put MW and TW's actions on the same level. I know right! Instead, I would camp on that tunnel where our gorgeous Tae Wook died with candles and flowers saying "bye bye love". It wouldn't have been a 'tragedy' if there was any possibility that he might've actually done it. Wow. This. I dislike the opposite message in movies like the Christmas favorite "A beautiful life" (partially also Hometown cha-cha-cha which I loved, where the ML's reason for self-exile were ridiculous: the guy did not even do anything wrong and "greed"/"ambition" were blamed, when, as sorry as I found his story, the guy in the hospital is the one at fault for messing up despite warning and then not listening to follow up advice). But not before repeating that Hye-ran is at fault for ruining everyones lives. I will join the club of those who pretend ep. This time, Hye-ran questions Eun-joos accusations. She thought they had a deal but he couldn't keep his end of the bargain. TWs micro-acting with his eyes. She is not a sociopath without empathy. Its obvious that he didnt want to share GHR with KL (which is justified), but it also ends with his possible suicide (the whole closing eyes, misty tunnel, fast driving) because he hated how GHR now perceived him as being imperfect. I don't understand when Hye Ran said he was the only person who understands her. Of course, with female character you have additional bs to deal with, like the "go back to the kitches to be a housewife" thing that, however, in this drama is done only by two characters, both shown as pathetic and "villains", not by "good guys" that clearly admire her for being a model of female empowerment (this is despite her fighting prejudice like being thrown aside for someone more appealing, but then she pushes back and goes for the director position), someone that sets the trend. She got all that coming for her. Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. I thought that 2 points in the show embodied the title quite nicely: Or those dramas laid those things realistic and made our minds prepared and sorta expecting such an ending/outcome. Stop hating and just live your life.. Network: JTBC. sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. Hmm i dont think i wanted them to be holding hands on a beach. Even Hyeran got her character developed by considering Taewook in her decisions. Yay for Jin Ki Joo as Ji Won. Were there scenes filmed that were cut? I don't agree with the point because we have plenty of examples of this "ambition is bad" both in western ("A Fortunate Man": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fortunate_Man) and korean ("A Single Rider": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Single_Rider) movies. Meanwhile, Myung-woo meets Eun-joo to talk her out of her misguided hate. .its not like Kevin was very likable and ppl would miss him except his wife maybe. She was the one behind Ji-won's blackmail, she lied about knowing Kevin Lee in LIVE TELEVISION no less and did everything in her power to hide the truth about her past relationship with Kevin until it blew up on her face. I disagree: skipping her mother's funeral was objectionable no matter her gender. For an example of the opposite, I would cite Start Up or Itaewon class, with powerful females having both love and career. No ones going to forget this show soon. I would also object to the "obsession" label. As for the extramarital affair, how is it unpretentious or even love? Kang locked himself in the car with So Ra, so that she would no longer hurt Ra El, whom she had kidnapped. :(. Actually if ANY of us was in the car we could just pull the handbrake or smth and slap him out of his foolish unlogical thought. The show took a psychological horror approach to The Mist and failed to include the horrific monsters from the . Part of the actions of these women affect other women (I feel that the sociopathic disregard is more on Ji-won's side, but I don't see much inter-sex solidarity for the widow with the scummy husband, depicting "famous women" going after the philanderer with a pregnant wife and a pregnant wife and a violent/abusive/non consensual/obsessive streak does not say much about the self respect). I'm curious to know if MW took the fall for TW knowing that the latter will eventually choose to remove himself from HR's life (taking odilettante's explanation of TW's suicide) or once news of TW's death reaches MW, I'd imagine he'd be trying to break out of prison to 'protect HR'. She is strong, ambitious and vulnerable, but at the same time she is cold, manipulative and immensely hypocritical. With this ending tho, i found it quite out of character of taewook to end it that way. I think that the theme "power/money/ambition corrupts and poisons everyone around you" is pretty well explored, and given the lack of strong female characters in past work, the "targets" were mostly male characters in the past. Its nice to see you again!^^. }; I was disappointed with the last two episodes that eventually went against all that was so good about the show. Then everything started with you and your petty gossip. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page Unlike odilettante, I don't feel that Eun-joo is getting the short end of the stick and no, I do not think for a moment that she was Hye-ran's best friend as she claimed to be. The show wrapped up several loose threads and concluded on a bittersweet note. It made it seem like Kevin could still be alive now if that night hadnt happened, as though it was the butterfly moment that led to this hurricane. In this drama, I'm disapointed by the couple Hye Ran and Tae Wook. Eun-joo sees how tortured Hye-ran is at the increasing evidence of Tae-wooks guilt, and she ends her protest, having achieved her goal of making Hye-ran miserable. It's in the scene where she tells him that she loves him (finally) but she wants to break up with him because she doesn't like the pain that comes with love. In the end, she was blamed for the choices of the men that loved her and for their obsession of her. I'm now quite glad it ended that way. conclusion uncharacteristic of the narrative and. Personally, I loved it because, for a moment, I loved Misty almost as much as I did when it first started. Aside from trying to figure out who murdered Kevin Lee, the fashion of sense of Go Hye-Ran was not to be missed. Worst, he kills and has no remorse. I didn't like that the answer seemed to be "not" by the end. I wish Manager Lee kicked detective out of their office to boot but Manager Lee yelling at the detective was soooo satisfying at the moment. A slightly sobered up Hye-ran walks out of the building, recalling Eun-joos bitter words about her ruining everyones life. ", Source : Yonhap News Agency "Romance thriller 'Misty,' enthralling story of success, unpretentious love". also thank you @mary and @odilettante for giving us a place to come together and yell about our feelings! I do not understand this talk about Hye-ran's principles. yep, and that Myeong Woo would have moved on to do something more meaningful for himself rather than noble prisonhood. But she "Yoo Ri Ta" sees him as Park Ji Sang .. The writer chose to end things this way. There could be miracles you know, there you have JBL, and Mother they were awesome until the end . Lets recall office manager Lee gave that speech *AFTER* he had discovered evidence that Tae-wook was the murderer. After that epic hug outside the museum too! But storywise, it sucks to have all that suffering just to end up with no growth. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 In the studio, Hye-ran opens the show and takes questions from the audience. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; That is what I too am saying. lds seminary 2022 assessment safe splash cda; warhammer 40k world eaters codex release date rslogix 5000 message path configuration; mennonite brethren church history metro pcs pay as a guest; walgreens neuropathy cream unanswered questions. I think a rookie reporter would have done a better job. Kim Nam Joo and Ji Jin Hee were fantastic in their roles. Kang insists hes just doing his job, and Lee shouts at him to do it properly instead of this blind search that messes everyone up. The show was at its finest when Hye Ran made mincemeat out of her rivals, fought the bigwigs and kept her eyes on her goal. I was waiting for this thread, not even to be spoiled, since I avoid reading it and go directly to the comments' section. What the ending does provides us is that TW is *selfish* unlike his upright, uptight portrayal initially. Meanwhile, Detective Kang drops by Tae-wooks office where he gets scolded by Office Manager Lee for torturing the couple. 4-min read. Even with a few over-dramatic clichs, "The Glory" manages to keep the interest going all through the eight episodes in part one. Tae Wook bottled everything inside that nicely toned body of his, only to loose it on Kevin's fragile skull(that coroner ought to be fired btw). Look at the trail of destruction you have left behind in your pursuit. Tae Wook's last question: 'Are you happy now? I also liked she questions her life choices, because after all when you end up destroying your life and missing your own mother's last words not double checking whether you are still on course would be crazy (on the mother's side, I don't get whether she had a grudge towards her for the childhood issue). Poor scripts undermined the romance between Han Tae-sool and Kang Seo-hae, major characters disappeared without explanation, and the coda is just lazy Korean drama reviews + FOLLOW I needed to sort out my thoughts after that *sobs* ending. check out my post about the ending: I've seen many a k-drama and Misty is now the best drama I have seen in my 8-year k-drama life . I don't think that Hye-ran could have done a light and fluffy "our marriage is great, and we beat injustice" type interview because it would have been a big, fat lie. Happy endings are not for every single drama. The writer chose to end things this way. A short time later, we see Tae-wook preparing to be a guest in the second episode of Hye-rans successful new show. I think it was my favorite character at the end. Misty indeed, our pursue of happiness, the obssessive fight for something we dont even know how to get or how to name. Then In-Hye splits her money with her sisters. All the bang from the earlier eps simmered with everyone breaking. Should the writer have written a better script and ending for episodes 15 & 16 - yes. From the star cast filled with immense talent to an intriguing story, My Mister has everything. The last two episodes were devoted to Hye Ran using the evidence she'd collected to rain hell down upon them. Well then I will have more time to quee over the pretty noona during the first 14 episode, with the immortal hope (no matter how many times the drama Godas have failed me before) to have also a good finale. @mary: It didnt feel to me like he was blaming her. How this man could work 30 years as a detective is really beyond me. I sure hope Misty is that one rare drama.. Is it karmic justice for her aborting the baby without asking him? That's the slowest rushed ending in history. Years of neglect, burning with jealousy must have fried his brains and short-circuited his tongue. Women can be so cruel towards each other. However, Mr.Sunshine still received great attention from the public, becoming one of the dramas with the highest ratings in history of the cable network tvN. But this time, he introduces himself as her husband and immediately confesses to being the last person Kevin Lee met with the night he died. Him taking the fall for it didnt make sense to me because he was still in prison then and unless he hires someone else to take fall as the assassin, Im finding it hard to believe how hed prosecuted but then again, Detective Kang was such an absolute idiot smi wouldnt be surprised. I'm going to jump on my feminist bandwagon here too. FB.init({ See how shitty that sounds? 16 never happened. Courthouse scenes are not necessarily necessary. They would have wanted to know how long she knew and how much she covered up. I particularly liked your idea of life being about everyone driving into the mist. The violin BGM was stunning, it kept up the pace and suspense and all the OSTs along with the gorgeous directing/ cinematography and sleek outfits added layers to the drama.. Its her first serious drama and the project that made her physically and mentally drained the most (she said it during her interview) but is also the one dearest to her heart. Is this sarcasm like Are you happy you make me kill Kevin and make me kill myself? Or is this the drama selling misplaced emotion as ultimate love Are you happy I sacrificed myself so that you can remain spotless?.
