*How did the chip end up in KLs pocket??*. (Also, I would've been dead.). In the trailer , . The bullies were a group of five other students led by the girl Park Yeon-Jin, who is the biggest villain of the series: the other four are the rich boy Jeon Jae-Jun, the aggressive girl Lee Sa . Totally agree about recommending this show. Even if youre madly in love, you should never think with your heart but with your brain. If the edges had been smoothed out more, I would have recommended this drama to everyone and their mothers in a heartbeat. After a while, i did realise that the whole point of the ending was how much we DIDNT know Tae-Wook and his motivations. odilettante: But we might have forced a few beanies to watch it, just based on these open threads, so hopefully they dont hold it against us! I'd have loved to see them dating! 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. And who was Kevin planning to meet that night? The last two episodes were devoted to Hye Ran using the evidence she'd collected to rain hell down upon them. However, in my opinion, this ending fits the drama so it is a good ending. How this man could work 30 years as a detective is really beyond me. Suicide however is not what I expected Tae Wook to do - a man of such calibre. I was beyond angry, that there was finally the intelligent, driven, amazing but still flawed female character I had been waiting for, and in 15 minutes time, the writer turned her into someone who would turn away from all of her principles, let an innocent man pay for a crime that he didn't commit, just to be with the man she now lurrvvved. Was it the ending what I wanted - no. Which drama next? I was waiting for this thread, not even to be spoiled, since I avoid reading it and go directly to the comments' section. I don't want to see the message "it's wrong to aim for your dreams because it will turn you into a toxic person that will destroy everyone around you" pass. Horrible ending to an otherwise awesome drama. Still, I have no regrets about watching Misty every Friday & Saturday. Lee cries in his car as he remembers Tae-wook giving him tickets and reservation for a vacation as if hes sending him away. Guess I will just have to go rewatch Mother which was phenomenal and had one of the best endings ever even if I did go through a box of kleenex in the process. I'm late but here to protect Reporter Kwak. She negated everything i thot she was trying to portray/ say in d end. Queens of facial expressions. Meanwhile, Myung-woo meets Eun-joo to talk her out of her misguided hate. Unless the writer wants a season 2 the last few min of this show aren't my favorite. 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). Even Hyeran got her character developed by considering Taewook in her decisions. The ending of Misty is 100% consistent with the narrative of the 15 episodes that got us there. He deserved a better life more than anyone else. But I will forever love her for her ambition and how she handled every situation true to her character. After Chairman Kwon Jae Kyu's death, the golden keys to the kingdom didn't go to the murdering son Kwon Hyun Joo. Then In-Hye splits her money with her sisters. Not all dangling situations need nor can be answered. I understand why he thinks he does, but if I'd been there in the car I'd be screaming YOU'RE WROOOOOOOOONG at him. That was so unexpected for me. 'Melancholia' Season 1 story gave everyone high hopes to see more of Im Soo Jung and Lee Do Hyun, possibly in a Season 2. ", @odilettante,you said this show reminds you of a modern day sageuk? He vowed that he would make Hye-ran fall in love with him, and she did unfortunately a little too late. In this drama, I'm disapointed by the couple Hye Ran and Tae Wook. 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. I would also object to the "obsession" label. If she was really concerned about Hye-ran as a friend and not just trying to get Myung-woo turned off by Hye-ran's behavior, she would've immediately called an adult to intervene in Hye-ran's situation. The writer chose to end things this way. There's this thing in kdramas where i get to the end of episode 14 and I think "this is the best drama ever" and then the final two episodes are exactly like this - meandering, unfocussed and frustrating. Wasn't expecting Kevin Lee to suddenly pop up.. I guess its because the show thought Ji Jin Hee looked the best as the strong, silent and angsty type. Thank you for this space @mary & @odilettante! Myung-Woo was released after the murder so everyone would be certain that he DIDN'T commit the murder. In the end, she was blamed for the choices of the men that loved her and for their obsession of her. Apparently I dropped Misty before this horrific incident. An popular anchorwoman, Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) is suspected of murder. But then, Ive never regretted watching this drama and discovering Kim Nam Joo here. Some were clearly questionable regardless of gender (I doubt, for example, putting work over attending your mother's last moments on this heart would be treated "neutrally" regardless of gender). I don't know, probably yes, but not that soon, or even he wouldn't. I always knew that Kang or Ra El would die, I felt that this drama was going to have a tragic ending. She feels like a young . Your efforts and time are very much appreciated. Hye-ran rushes to her friend in the ICU but Jang is already there. Hye-ran would, of course, stay silent because truth comes second to her in regards to her own interests as has been shown countless of times. Good drama, but the ending was terrible. This pisses off Zeus, who punishes Sisyphus. Maybe with a new and smarter detective. This is a summary of my thoughts: *URGHHHHHHHH* . But it depends, of course on each viewer, who brings along a different experience. I would have liked to see another well adjusted character with a stable relationship that manages to have her career and also be there for her family in their critical hour and have good communication with her spouse. misty korean drama ending explained ; d (Misty Ep. Everything else pointed to a man who was a coward and self-absorbed. 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). }; Both dramas are beautifully made, and even until the last episodes people don't turn to be suddenly whatever else. GHRs expert reporting skills should have been used for a greater purpose. If he'd actually investigated this well from the beginning, none of this would have happened. It all started to go wrong after Myung Woo confessed because suddenly the distance between Hye Ran and Tae Wook became unassailable. See how shitty that sounds? Ok, so Tae Wook is the killer. The ending answered nothing. Was anyone else bothered by Tae Wook's decision to commit suicide by driving into a tunnel with his eyes closed? odilettante: Tae-wooks greatest strength is his greatest weakness: he is a man of integrity who keeps his promises. *facepalms*, Wut? One of the central problems with. I mean why couldn't he hv just taken responsibility 4 his actio s instead allowing MW to do dat? I mustnt disappoint Myung-woo by putting the blame elsewhere. The ending was a disappointment because she deserved better. Thank you for the article. And men admired her strong personality, she was deemed worthy. So, I'm not sure he could have gone on to do that interview regardless of interacting with Detective Kang. She thought they had a deal but he couldn't keep his end of the bargain. 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). What I'm not really sure is if the husband ends up killing himself in that tunnel, it was kinda confusing that last part. Eun Joo was waved off, Myung Woo never properly explained and GHR possible even more broken after TW's choice? I know right! 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. Why jail oppa felt he had to do all those things for her? xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page Why? Tae-wook finds Hye-ran hastily leaving his office. Also, FL did some questionable things but always for a rational reason, it was not a matter of casually hurting people on a whim like for Ji-won. This drama came at a time when I was facing issues at work and Hye Ran was an inspiration (along with that epic theme music). Hope to see more of her soon. He re-imagines the scene when he interrupted Hye-rans interrogation at the start of the series. "In the end, she was blamed for the choices of the men that loved her and for their obsession of her". You know, I watched that timer run out in episode 16 thinking, Shes wearing the same coat for how many days now? ending, simply because all the problems within. She is strong, ambitious and vulnerable, but at the same time she is cold, manipulative and immensely hypocritical. Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through. . Tons of movies with the roles reversed, "A single rider" being the best one (the point being about money/success being bad and corrupting the lives of everyone around you -anti-capitalist bs in my eyes, as I think people can and should strive to have it all-). That was important. I share the same thoughts and I couldn't have said it better myself. I can't get over Tae Wook commiting suicide, but alas, he already showed obsessive, dangerous traits from episode 1, so I guess we cannot complain about him doing extreme things, we were warned. Min stops walking and gently entwines his fingers with hers as all the lights suddenly turn on. Another tragedy in this ending is she didn't even get back her status as a top reporter after they exposed Kang Yool+Hwanil's corruption. 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'. There was no love, you can't love without communication because they never communicated. Even the kindest person can turn into a cold-hearted person. That was the story I signed up for, not a poorly written whodunnit and dont even get me started on the plotholes, horrendous investigation and legal drama. The issue with that is that it was factually *not* true as per cam footage. Huh. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; It seemed like Myung-woo was giving her some tough love: Okay Eun-joo, you wanna play the blame game? I have to admit that the still shot of the leading actress (as shown in the picture above) is not too convincing . I found this article explanation quite fitting for the drama. It was great sharing this A+ thrilling drama with you ! I was confused by Ki Seok's motive for filming that footage of Hye Ran and Jae Young, but then he was always on her side? 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). Ha Myung-woo. But really,are there NONE of such heroines who managed to lead a blissful,complete,no-regrets life after they achieved their goal??? This woman went around complaining how no one believes her when she says she didn't Kevin while NEVER actually telling the truth about her relationship with him. When Hyo-Rin became 18, she took out all the money from her bank accounts and they divide the money between the 3 of them: In-Hye, Hyo-Rin and Do-Il. They would have wanted to know how long she knew and how much she covered up. Misty was a fun ride until the end, where it ran out of gas* and the writers just threw together a mess. unanswered questions. I would have really liked to see a well adjusted, successful and happy female character in this movie. Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. I mean that's such a waste of a strong willed character after all that talk about truth and facts also after what happened with myung-woo in the past and everything they went through ,they just repeat it? I dont really know what they were trying to impart with us at the end. Yoon also points out that Tae-wook, as Hye-rans lawyer, shouldve known this. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; window.fbAsyncInit = function() { Yay for Jin Ki Joo as Ji Won. sense. Since none of this was clear for me, it is difficult to assess the final situation and empathise with her feelings. It is unfortunate that Misty is one of those dramas which ending negated everything. Go Hye Ran's eye makeup and wardrobe FTW~, And can we please send some love to Go Joon? I did hate the ending but it's bittersweet hate. odilettante: 8.4% isnt too shabby, especially for cable, and its now the third highest-rated JTBC drama (just after Strong Woman Do Bong-soon). On the child issue, it's not about being wrong or right, but, as his wife said, about having different expectations. really?'. All the bang from the earlier eps simmered with everyone breaking. I find it most incredible that he wanted to depict unpretentious love. Do not misunderstand me, I love Hye-ran as a character. It was misty indeed, and choices are what define us in the end, we all have our positive traits, but we indeed have negative instincts inside. She pretends not to have seen the traffic violation letter while Tae-wook pretends not to notice that shes already seen it. They wanted to use Foggy, but who would've want to watch a drama called Foggy? FB.init({ Heehee I'm binge-reading the comments and all your snipes at Tae-wook's non-perfection and Kevin's weak skull are making me laugh >___<, hmm perhaps the drama should have been renamed "obsession" lol. Yaas! The series marks Kim Nam-joo's small screen comeback after six years. Im so confused with what I was feeling after watching it. He banged his head on the wall and died despite being an athlete? It stayed in me and I think the writer is saying, "My characters ended up in those ways because of their own decisions. This drama has always felt kind of like a modern-day sageuk to me, so the fact that anyone was still alive in the end was the unexpected part. The witer of the letter also asks him to find the "Adamas" to get Su Hyeon. Hye-ran would have resolved the matter herself and everybody went on with their lives. They didn't see each other even once since he shunned her visits. I thought she was going to reveal the truth on her show, so the whole him dying made no sense for me. I keep reading about the 'plot holes 'but can't think of any. The show took a psychological horror approach to The Mist and failed to include the horrific monsters from the . And Misty as a show will also stay with me for a while and while I have conflicting feelings about the last few episodes I definitely have FEELINGS so nobody can say that this show was boring. Premiere Watch: Radio Romance, Cross, Misty, Melo-thriller Misty holds its first script read, Ji Jin-hee up to join Kim Nam-joo in her comeback drama Misty, Kim Nam-joo courted for drama comeback via JTBC, LT is Irresistibly Indifferent, Dame Judi, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Single_Rider, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fortunate_Man, http://www.dramabeans.com/members/kethysk/activity/425045/#acomment-425046. No way would she have come out of it a hero. or maybea murderer? Someone as good as Park Ji Sang .. Who stands and helps all the weak people .. From the star cast filled with immense talent to an intriguing story, My Mister has everything. Missing 9. I came to that conclusion around Episode 8 and have been calling it' 'foggy' in my head. Mr.Sunshine (2018) Because it is a drama set during the turbulent period of the Korean Empire, Mr. Sunshine's sad ending is something that almost everyone already expected in advance. Were there scenes filmed that were cut? June 27, 2022. Pratik Handore. EXACTLY, in the end I totally don't find any of these men in Hyeran's life swoony for "protecting" her. 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. Achieving . As for the extramarital affair, how is it unpretentious or even love? She sees an open letter on his desk and reads about Su Hyeon being alive. Full of tender emotion; sentimental. I needed to sort out my thoughts after that *sobs* ending. Maybe she didn't like her mother due to her past (the creep MW killed), and she hated her mother? For an example of the opposite, I would cite Start Up or Itaewon class, with powerful females having both love and career. They both killed someone who was interacting last with Hye Ran and left her alone at the end. Closing episode 12 with In-Hye's written letter was very cute and made the drama have a satisfying ending. During the interview, Eun-joo insists that the contents of Hye-rans black box chip is evidence of Kevin Lees murder, but Tae-wook deleted them. "Misty" has established itself as a melodrama to be remembered. At the end, it is still satisfying ending for good ending gives viewer something to ponder upon. Tae Wook HOW COULD YOU`? It is an adaptation of Kurumi Inui's novel 'Initiation Love' and tells the story of a young couple and the challenges they face while trying to make their long-distance relationship work. And I hated that he was a butthurt until the end. I thought that 2 points in the show embodied the title quite nicely: I agree.Despite our hopes,if such a thing would happen it'd be unrealistic. Tae Wook looked criminally handsome in that scene and oh, so so devastated! I wish we could've seen something like what you and @johnb said. I never felt their sincere love even if they had some passionate moments. odilettante will be sad at the lack of pretty clothes.. happy Thursday, Beanies! In the end, this was a show tried too hard. mary: The final barrier being himself? That's the definition of a tragedy. Kariernya sebagai news anchor sangat cemerlang dan sukses. Hye-ran hurries home and finds proof that Tae-wook purchased duplicates of the coat and shoes he was wearing the night Kevin Lee died. Kim Namjoo is , I also don't buy that Tae-wook died for love. He was her trophy husband and she his trail blazing wife. That night, Tae-wook comes home to an empty house while Hye-ran treats the News Nine team to drinks. Well put, bravo!!! If Spring ever worked so hard to find its own version of happiness, stumbled on it unexpectedly, then got pummeled by Life and Consequences the moment it got a little bit soft. I enjoyed watching a drama that was adult-oriented, suspenseful, intriguing, fascinating and entertaining. Manager Lee hands Tae-wook a letter from Myung-woo. The court scenes were just too painful to watch and a total drag. Why did Tae Wook decide that suicide was the best were of protecting her when she didn't want him to go to jail? Bring back the old Hye Ran! I don't think this is the case, nor do I think that it should be (horrendous behavior being wrongly justified because of a person's gender should be corrected by questioning it regardless of gender, not by using this disparity as an excuse). She really was a role madel. His assaults on others and eventual killing of Dong Hyun justified his imprisonment. Answer (1 of 4): I loved the 1st episode only - very heartwarming, then the story is poor, confused. So, for all its flaws and loopholes, it does give us a armchair-gripping moments worthy of mystery thriller. I also thought her mother would play a bigger role. Her actions have an effect on other people. Why Taewook didn't talk to her? You will receive a link to create a new password via email. Unless his internal monologue was supposed to imply that he really wasn't perfect and his earlier confession that he mistakenly believed his actions were borne out of Iove were supposed to highlight his own selfishness and that, despite initial appearances, she was more principled than he was.
