However like a lot of people, I was quite dissatisfied with the ending and found the two hour finale overly-long and self-indulgent. Seo Hee was supposed to be interviewed by Woo Sin for the book, but he disappeared. :(. this actually had me cracking up. Misty, no black or white. 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). I was disappointed that it was sad but at the same time I'm not too gutted about it because I didn't find it too far off for the show. Personally, I loved it because, for a moment, I loved Misty almost as much as I did when it first started. It would have been awful to discover 'the butler did it' after all of the explicit clues pointing to the husband. She was a very flawed character but I loved her regardless of that. And what did they do? But they are consistent. And how his pursuit of love actually changed into something else. Misty: With Nam-ju Kim, Jin-hee Ji, Hye-jin Jeon, Tae-kyung Im. I think a rookie reporter would have done a better job. Hadir dalam 16 episode, Misty bercerita tentang seorang wanita bernama Go Hye-Ran (Kim Nam-Joo) yang bekerja sebagai pembawa berita. 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. It stars Jang Ki-Yong, Chae Soo-bin, and . The matter of her other personal choices is different. Basically, what I am saying is that communication is key (and frankly, some choices like not going to hear her mother's last words make it clear that yes, everyone is responsible for their own actions, but they have consequences ambiguous towards it because I actually can't understand whether she was resentful of her mother or whether she had reason to, with the whole thing with the creepy attacker in her childhood). Great recap, guys! 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. Part of me was still waiting for the moment when we'd get the twist at the end that Tae Wook wasn't the killer. And I was sad that Myung Woo will once again, be sent to prison. As other people have mentioned, I hated how she abandoned the principles she tried so hard to keep by letting Myungwoo take the blame. odilettante: Even though Ive never been a fan of Eun-joo, I couldnt help but feel that she got the short end of the stick. odilettante: Which seems to be a point of this drama. Maybe well never know what they truly are. Her estranged husband, who's a lawyer, decides to defend her and hence starts their journey to fall back in love. When Hye-ran protests, he insists theyre reporting a fact: Myung-woo confessed to killing Kevin Lee. Hope to see more of her soon. Yaas! Dont remind me of the dropped threads and unanswered questions, because my brain starts making a list. Really not sure what's happening lately. He was planning to turn himself in after the vacation with Hye-ran. Speak of the devil, Myung-woo shows up like the ninja he is and tells Hye-ran to buck up. He banged his head on the wall and died despite being an athlete? I remember stumbling upon it during the airing of its first four episodes and yeah, I knew from that moment that I finished those first four that I'll be head over heels in love with this drama. But now I'm not sure if that's just my wishful thinking. "I hope we will get more of such badass female leads without all the tragedy involved!!" What would a rare female lead character like Go Hye-Ran wear next? But the last episode sigh! This is a summary of my thoughts: *URGHHHHHHHH* Good drama, but the ending was terrible. 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. Since none of this was clear for me, it is difficult to assess the final situation and empathise with her feelings. I feel like that scene was just put there to make us suspect her even though it goes against her steels of nerve. Not only was the. 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. To ask her the question if she was happy, mocks who she is and what she stands for. Happy endings are not for every single drama. I still haven't seen JBL and Mother but should get to it so I can see what everybody is raving about. This pisses off Zeus, who punishes Sisyphus. He concedes that its his fault for chasing her so obsessively, he lost the real culprit: someone close enough to Hye-ran to take the brooch from her home after her rendezvous with Kevin Lee. Tags: Ahn Nae-sang, Ji Jin-hee, Kim Nam-joo, Misty, Your email address will not be published. I just want to say all the beanies summed up my feelings of disappointed in the ending of the drama. However, in my opinion, this ending fits the drama so it is a good ending. You didnt make me kill anyone. I thought that they were suddenly going to pull back from all the hints pointing to TW and instead do a 360 and surprise us with an EPIC take-down. PS: Sorry about d typos. You summed it up for me. Part 1: a full plot recap. I have been waiting to know if the whole show was so amazing as it had been said, right until the end, so that I can binge it later, but now I think I won't do it. And in the end, you open your hand, and there is nothing. Then the annoyance came back when detective stopped by to give Tae Wook one last nudge just before TW's drive to the interview. She was betrayed by those men she loved and trusted the most. There are enough questions left in this drama to fill another season. Why they confused it with love? *It ran out of gas, got a flat tire, in the rain, stuck in the mud and youve lost a shoe, in a area with zero cellphone reception. The point is: I don't know why but most good shows are ruined by an end that disappoints you. Even though that completely contradicts the point of the drama or at least what I thought was the point of the drama. Full of tears so as to blur the vision (of a person's eyes). So I understand the disappointment we're all feeling. The series ends as we see Kim returning to her normal life. Tae-wook shows Hye-ran the letter and she wordlessly locks herself up in her room, crying at how messed up everything is. .but this will at least reduce his sentence right? In the present, Tae-wook closes his eyes as a tear falls. Thanks to Mary and Odilettante for starting this thread. In Hades, Sisyphus has to push a boulder uphill only to have it roll back down when he reaches the top. appId : '127538621120543', No one forced us to watch it. I would also object to the "obsession" label. "Beyond passionate romance, I would like to depict unpretentious love, be it a married couple's love or that of an extramarital affair," he said, adding "This is more than just a gripping story." I was so upset when I read things like that. Lee Ji-eun as Lee Ji-an without the IU's halo (Photo Credit: NewOnNetflix) My Mister (sometimes titled My Ajusshi and in Hangul) has been on my Netflix feed for the longest time. .but nothing really happened in the last two episodes.There were too many monologues and everything slowed down. Horrible ending to an otherwise awesome drama. Still, congratulations to the team and especially the actors who did a stellar job. If Detective Kang doesn't meet Tae-wook in that morning to say those lines, would Tae-wook's ending be different? I mean, KL died so pathetically. He wants Hye-ran to move on from this and use her newfound popularity to start a show where she can interview everyone even those in power. . . It wouldn't have been a 'tragedy' if there was any possibility that he might've actually done it. I must say that the opposite (busy man with miserable home life) is pretty much a trope in and of itself, so finding a work with these features is pretty much like fishing in a bucket -if we tone down the toxic mix of self pithy and self righteouness it would be pretty evident-. Tell me about it. :(. He was her trophy husband and she his trail blazing wife. I thought it was realistic. It took me a while saying goodbye to this beautiful, beautiful drama. Things I did like were: Eun Joos and GHRs portrayal. Classification news. No, ambition is not the problem, you can have it all. Huh. Some are bittersweet and some are just like Misty where you are left baffled with what you saw in the end. " Aug 31, 2020. Maybe he cant fix the past, but he can do his best to remove the final barrier to Hye-rans happiness. Its like everything was ok until the time when Tae Wook went to the station but then Myung Woo enters the scene and boy he did made it all go down to a mist. But maybe that's just a cover for the real reason: she realized Tae-wook isn't the perfect husband because of the microwaved steak. Then she started talking about what a pervert the loan shark was. A slightly sobered up Hye-ran walks out of the building, recalling Eun-joos bitter words about her ruining everyones life. Popular anchorwoman Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) is extremely good at her job and wins all the media awards. And yes, it's really crazy that we are presented the binary alternative "stay-at-home-mom" or "suffer", which is a false choice. From the star cast filled with immense talent to an intriguing story, My Mister has everything. KL's widow blamed her, and while I don't buy that, I also don't buy the "it's not anyone's fault". If the point is "you shouldn't equate ambition with a miserable life" and "it's not a binary choice, you can have both" then I must say I would also have liked another well adjusted female character that was both successful and could have good communication with her spouse and not neglect their mother/relatives in the crucial hour (I must say that to throw back a phrase she said, her audition for anchorwoman might come only once -not sure if true-, but it is certain that her own mother would die only once as well, and it's not about it happening anyway, it's about her feelings as she goes not too confident on it as I don't recall whether they hated each other). I highly disagree since she was more than aware of her husband's MULTIPLE affairs yet she blinded herself to that truth and had tunnel vision for taking down Hye Ran. It was just implausible that Myung-woo committed the murder. http://www.dramabeans.com/members/kethysk/activity/425045/#acomment-425046. *Myung Woo was such an underdeveloped character*. She turns to the camera, and her eyes fill with tears as we hear Tae-wook asking, Hye-ran, are you happy?. He's obsessed with Hye Ran and let's not mistake it for love in any way. The person I ended up disliking - to my surprise - is Eun Soo (after all, she was the victim), and Ki Joon was that character who rubbed me the wrong way even if he was onto something that turned out to be the truth. As can sometimes happen, what I thought was the main point of the drama and what the writers thought was the main point of the drama diverged wildly around the end of episode 14. 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. But these men, ugh. But what happened to her telling Eun Joo "when all of this is done, you'll know I didn't do anything wrong"? Go Joon was there, and also Ji Won~, I'm watching The Good Wife too! Hmm i dont think i wanted them to be holding hands on a beach. I hoped this will start a new flower-filled path for the actors. I want to know what shell do after finding out Tae-wook is dead, not get a vague reflection on how difficult it is for her to be happy and then nothing. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); The person I ended up liking the most is the Director. We see her imitating other people's emotions as they play video games together. A man pursuing career and wrecking their home life is pretty much a trope (Suspicious Partners, Stranger 1st season, I would say My Mister for the "possessive/needy/insecure I-want-you-to-distance-yourself-from-family-and-community-and-focus-only-on-me vibe"). Hye-ran rushes to her friend in the ICU but Jang is already there. They kept hinting at her manipulative tendencies especially after her use of Knocking on Heavens door to emotionally shake up GHR. thank you for the great recap, @mary and @odilettante ! Lolol! What happens to Hwan Il and the other baddies? If she had not gossiped on Hye-ran that fateful night, Myung-woo would not have ran that wildly to her and killed the man. HMW was a totally unnecessary character to be used as a joker,the way he was portrayed; the worst plothole. Exactly. If the point is "this is not binay, you can have both" and wishing there was *also* (the FL had this as her dramatic flaw) a well adjusted female character with both a great career and happy interpersonal relationships in this drama, I would be onboard. Aside from trying to figure out who murdered Kevin Lee, the fashion of sense of Go Hye-Ran was not to be missed. Tae-wook warns Kevin to stay away from his wife, but Kevin rubs in the fact that Hye-ran loved him, her old boyfriend, yet her husband never even heard those words from her. Even if youre madly in love, you should never think with your heart but with your brain. It would have given Eun joo and the not too bright cop a little closure. There was no way that anyone was gonna get out of this "happy". Most of all, I want the ultimate power look: a khaki trench coat and red stilettos. And Myungwoo? And who was Kevin planning to meet that night? If there had been an episode 15 reveal that the news director did it, or the detective did it I would have been very angry. 4-min read. "Tae Wook I shouldnt have trusted you the moment you microwaved that steak. Were all just driving into the mist hopefully with our eyes open, though. The ending answered nothing. "misty korean drama ending - (Misty Ep. Their marriage has been on the rocks, but as the case forces them to come together, they must address the issues in their relationship. Hye-ran was in her car, why was the brooch in Kevins? I mean as much as how the ending makes perfect sense we all watch drama to be entertained, no? I meant having the abortion without informing him. If anything, this drama has depicted love in the worst form. It's a basic function of humans. There are those that are sad. I will just point out the wildly different reaction to the cheating wife in My Mister, where year long deception and siding with evil-boss-who-would-have-fired-her-husband until he lied about camping were justified on the grounds that she was insecure/needy/possessive and he did not comply when she asked him to distance himself from his family and community -an essential part of his life-. WHAT? SURPRISE! So now why would I be surprised by the fact she remains silence about TW? But it depends, of course on each viewer, who brings along a different experience. I would really check out "A Single Rider", a Korean movie with this exact plot, as well as tons of other movies/films with the plotline "ambition/green destroys everything around you". Really Eun Soo is the victim?? On a more superficial note, I enjoyed the side characters till the end, and loved how the relationship between Ji Won and Reporter Kwak turned into subtle flirting. Tae Wok was honest, fair and firm in his life and love but. ooppss he had a dark side.. I would suggest the movie "A Single Rider" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Single_Rider) as just one of the examples of this exact situation being depicted. Sad for Nyang's fate after watching Empress Ki, I waxed poetic for 4 pages in my notebook to serve her some sort of justice(not kidding), so I wonder will I have to go down the same route if I watch this one too even after now knowing almost everything after following the recaps and comments. His name? c'mon, Hye Ran wouldn't dress that fluffly at home loved the pantsuits and the shoes. I guess the writer needs to clarify some things here. 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. No one on this planet should control your happiness other than yourself. If your happiness is in someone elses hands youre rooting for conditional happiness. Tae Wook may have been sexy AF, but wow, dude, no. That's true.She was gonna reveal him on the show at that time that's why he was supposed to be a guest. However, I saw even on other forums people seeing it as "punishment" for ambition, a-la "I guess you can't have it all". As for the extramarital affair, how is it unpretentious or even love? ^-^ I had the same frustrations. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { Please enter your username or email address. It seemed like Myung-woo was giving her some tough love: Okay Eun-joo, you wanna play the blame game? If only he was competent enough and was able to prove TW as the real killer then he wouldnt have taken his own life because he would be in prison then. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page This drama is a Crime Suspense centering around a headstrong anchorwoman who becomes the suspect in a murder case. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { Not all dangling situations need nor can be answered. If you haven't seen it, and want to watch it, I'd say watch it but just have reservation about the ending and you will be fine. Myung-woo, true to character, repeats hes never considered the things hes done as throwing his life away.. My only real disappointment was wanting to see Kang Yool and Hwanil totally destroyed, but I suppose I just have to trust that Prosecutor Byun and Ji-won will continue their respective investigations. Spoilers Ahead Have been enjoying exchanging views of what-might and what-might-nots. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. Yoon makes plans and fails to meet with Hye-ran because a man with a crowbar attacks her. 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. In the end, this was a show tried too hard. Rambling thoughts (my apologies): They voluntarily fall like flies - the men who surround a femme fatale. Your email address will not be published. Thank you for this thread, Beanies. 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. You sop right Mary!!!!!! Credits: Netflix. Directed by Ahn Gil-ho and written by Kim Eun-sook, "The Glory" is a Korean drama series centered around a woman in her mid-thirties who is determined to punish those who wronged her.

Continue reading "Misty: Episodes 15-16 (Final Open Thread)" The 2018 k-drama, My Mister, is known as one of the best life of slice k-dramas of the last decade. Had she always been jealous of Hyeran? He was a snoop at most, maybe it's his desire to know all facts like his (in his mind) perfect sunbae Hye-ran. Like a femme fatale who destroys the men because they loved her to much. On the child issue, it's not about being wrong or right, but, as his wife said, about having different expectations. Thanks again to @mary and @odilettante for all the amazing discussions here you've both started. "Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through.". Didn't you know? The issue with that is that it was factually *not* true as per cam footage. If it wasnt for the ending I would have recommended Misty (plot holes and all) to everyone. I thought that 2 points in the show embodied the title quite nicely: We see that he found Tae-wooks discarded shirt and bandages the morning after his fight with Kevin, and Manager Lee threw the evidence away. ending, simply because all the problems within. She was no longer hungry for success, she even passed on News Nine to Ji Won. "Misty" has established itself as a melodrama to be remembered. Wow. There could be miracles you know, there you have JBL, and Mother they were awesome until the end . I was waiting for this thread, not even to be spoiled, since I avoid reading it and go directly to the comments' section. Tae Wook's love for Hye Ran looks noble but is far from desirable. 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. Like the News Nine party and that look Kwak gives Ji-won when she saves him from drinking.

October 7, 2022. SO TRAGIC. I came to that conclusion around Episode 8 and have been calling it' 'foggy' in my head. That's the slowest rushed ending in history. I don't think that in her specific case questioning her behavior was unreasonable for her character. Lol. shotty's jello shots vegan; stephanie cartel crew before surgery; what does not retained mean on job application; new restaurants coming to jacksonville nc 2022 I think the 'big fat lie' interview with her husband was exactly what she was planning and that was why she basically had a nervous breakdown on camera. Is it karmic justice for her aborting the baby without asking him? Instead the ambiguous ending with the are you happy? was so . Years of neglect, burning with jealousy must have fried his brains and short-circuited his tongue. After that epic hug outside the museum too! Well, the verdict is out Misty isnt that rare drama. Everything else pointed to a man who was a coward and self-absorbed. He re-imagines the scene when he interrupted Hye-rans interrogation at the start of the series. 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. His masculinity was defined by crushing a glass into pieces with his bare hand and killing Kevin with one push. The drama ended perfectly and diluting it with the details of unaswered situations/people would reduce the impact of the ending. mary: I feel so bad for her. The cast members are really doing their best to tell the real story and feelings as sincerely as possible," the producer said. What I didn't like was the conflation of issues (MW's case is different from TW, the latter was a freak accident during a perfectly rational confrontation, he was not trying to kill him, and could have confronted the guy over a million different things -such as the literal coercion and blackmail of his wife, or the mistreatment of her friend-) as well as the reduction of everything to "is it wrong to chase my dreams". Suicide however is not what I expected Tae Wook to do - a man of such calibre. This character clearly was not the female lead, and that's okay as far as her characterization is concerned). She was the one sending him the haunting video calls. I don't even really like steak, but **shudder** that is criminal. Ha Myung-woo. Bahkan Go Hye-Ran dipercaya menjadi news anchor untuk . 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. [6] [7] [8] mary: I definitely agree that more episodes wouldve helped. I don't have a problem with who the murderer is, but I do have a problem with Hye-ran abandoning all her principles. Thanks @mary and @odilettante for the open thread recaps of Misty. THAT made the ending absolutely heartbreaking. All the corrupt people she can expose and the female anchors she can inspire and the gorgeous fashion they can wear, but at the price of one Tae-wook? I would like it better if they just covered up the truth, and all of them lived their life, hopefully, happily. On the bright side, I at least got the satisfaction of him not getting his way. I would also not put MW and TW's actions on the same level. People were just doing things. Tae-wook was a formerly honorable man on his way to a TV station to push the 'big lie' about his faux happy life. I feel bad for Hye Ran though. The show took a psychological horror approach to The Mist and failed to include the horrific monsters from the . . I dont need anymore scenes of Hye Ran, I already know she will never be happy..just as she knows too. So, for all its flaws and loopholes, it does give us a armchair-gripping moments worthy of mystery thriller. But I didn't like how the only options that were presented were "stay at home housewife" or "suffering". Or better, I hope you enjoy them more!! Im so confused with what I was feeling after watching it. (function(d, s, id) { ', seemed so sarcastic and it indicated that all of this mess was indeed Hye Ran's fault. 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. Was it Ji-won? 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 . Melancholia Season 2. Regrading the conflict between career and love, there are tons of works dealing with this (I think a Tom Hanks movie where we was a famous lawyer that relieved his life and chose poverty and love over money, plus tons of others like Stranger season 1/Suspicious Partners/Forecasting Love and Weather/etc., for that matter I would say Lee Byung-hun's "A single rider" is in this vein, the general theme being that greed corrupts the person and destroys everyone around them). 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. Here is hoping for another fabulous badass female protagonist with amazing style and a flawed character!!!. honestly myung-woo bothers me the most and I am annoyed at myself for liking him at the beginning his behaviour is obsessive (he attacked reporter Yoon too right?really why did they just drop that ?Yoon was used as a device in those last episodes ). 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. cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access The "icarus" ("the nail that sticks out gets hammered down") theme of being too ambitious is an old one.
