Someone as good as Park Ji Sang .. Who stands and helps all the weak people .. mary: It didnt feel to me like he was blaming her. It wouldn't have been a 'tragedy' if there was any possibility that he might've actually done it. Always reading the comments but never typing any. Even if it's her body and it's her right, they were married with a bit of affection on both sides. Gone is the media that was about uncovering social inequities and corruption. I spent 16 episodes agonizing with her! Tae Wook's love for Hye Ran looks noble but is far from desirable. That's the show's thesis statement. T___T, 3 weeks ago, when I read that Misty would have a Unexpected ending, I wrote this - Hes here to say goodbye, and as he walks away, he thinks that hes happy that a nobody like him is able to give her a future. Director Jang mobilizes the News Nine team to cover this breaking news. June 7, 2021. An ambitious news anchor for a popular TV channel, Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Obviously, she couldn't advertise that because it gave her more motive to kill him. Anyway, that being said, I did really like the drama. As much as Im in love with her character, we also have to be honest here, she did let a person go to jail without even confessing she was involved and maybe lessen his sentence with the circumstances. I sure hope Misty is that one rare drama.. or The guy married her and had basic, reasonable expectations of respecting certain boundaries, such as not being cheated on, or lied to. he probably still would have committed suicide, but Detective Kang's dogged persistence at pretending to be competent when it's too late suuuuure pushed him a little closer to the edge. Why jail oppa felt he had to do all those things for her? I didn't like that this show about a powerful woman refusing to disappear just because she aged became in the end about how a woman can have success but only if she destroys every man she meets. 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. Hye-ran watches over Yoon in the hospital, where Eun-joo finds her to say goodbye. With that Manager Lee reveal, Hye-ran's stylist is probably the only character in the show that didn't get her moment of "mistiness". *shudders*. The drama's message is clearly that she has the right to "go for it" and should be praised for it. mary: To the Misty beanies, thank you for trying this new format with us. Idk if the question was for me, but I'll try to answer. Tae Wook being perfect came out of nowhere, she did not marry him because he was perfect. 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). Misty (Korean Drama); ; Miseuti; Go Hye Ran is an ambitious anchorwoman for the popular news show, News 9. . They would have wanted to know how long she knew and how much she covered up. It would have given Eun joo and the not too bright cop a little closure. Choices have consequences, good or bad, and blaming someone else for your actions will get you nowhere. I'm not disapointed by the end because it was clear from pretty soon that it will be not a happy ending. He was obsessed with protecting GHR. Nevertheless, Misty still holds a special place in my heart. 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. mary: Noooo I forgot about that for thirty seconds. Part 1: a full plot recap. Most kdrama lovers always wish for a happy ending for the main leads and the rest of the cast. Who injured the reporter (maybe I missed this) and why exactly? Or better, I hope you enjoy them more!! Why? Lolol! Please enter your username or email address. It was all in line with the unraveling chain of events. <3. 2. The show had the last chance to redeem itself even if they had to make Tae Wook die. He's obsessed with Hye Ran and let's not mistake it for love in any way. I'm so pissed that he didn't learn from Myung-woo's mistake and stole Hye-ran's chance to make a choice, when the last scene we saw of them together is Hye-ran begging Tae-wook to give her time so they can think about the next step. Seo Hee was supposed to be interviewed by Woo Sin for the book, but he disappeared. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. He married an ambitious woman for love and it was a disaster. really?'. Perhaps it was the message from the drama to viewers Woman, you cant be happy if you choose career over love. If they work hard for their career it's hard for them to have a happy family and if they want to have a happy family they can't focus on their career. (function(d, s, id) { @mary: It didnt feel to me like he was blaming her. I wish they would have shown how she moves on after this. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. Dang what a disappointing end of an otherwise very good drama with strong characters and stellar casts. It was an ambitious and amazing show, but sometimes powerful endings are hard to create. When Myung Woo understood her ambition and accepted her like she was (he knew her childhood and understood why) even if it meant that he would only be a "tool" for her. No one forced us to watch it. I would also object to the "obsession" label. Its nice to see you again!^^. The pain is intense. But really,are there NONE of such heroines who managed to lead a blissful,complete,no-regrets life after they achieved their goal??? Still, congratulations to the team and especially the actors who did a stellar job. Published on. thank you for the great recap, @mary and @odilettante ! Tae Wok was honest, fair and firm in his life and love but. ooppss he had a dark side.. Myung-woo, true to character, repeats hes never considered the things hes done as throwing his life away.. He was planning to turn himself in after the vacation with Hye-ran. She questions everything shes worked so hard for, wondering if Jang has regrets, too. Someone take Detective Kang's badge and give it to her instead. I think it was my favorite character at the end. Not only was the. But that's just me. Then did all this work to either punish his wife or get her to love him, but Why? !, Exactly how I feel right now! :D . For example TaewooK let Kevin get under skin and then he killed him. There are those that are sad. I was so upset when I read things like that. 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. Suicide however is not what I expected Tae Wook to do - a man of such calibre. So what principles are we talking about here, exactly? No, the show was not a murder mystery, it was a *Greek tragedy* where the Gods play tricks on us mere mortals for their sport and we suffer. Not all dangling situations need nor can be answered. My interpretation was that the title of the drama was misty, because you can see Hye Ran, getting super misty eyes at the end of the show. The decent thing to do was to at least let him know about the abortion plan first. Tags: Ahn Nae-sang, Ji Jin-hee, Kim Nam-joo, Misty, Your email address will not be published. Nice job on the writers using actual mist in the end to make the title work. I'm going to jump on my feminist bandwagon here too. She acted offended that her husband would believe she slept with Kevin and denied it, and the argument is he should have trusted her? 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. 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. As for regrets, news is always first in his mind. But through the course of the show, she also learnt how to lean on Tae Wook. 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. You cannot go out hating others spitefully without any repercussions to yourself. 'Melancholia' Season 1 story gave everyone high hopes to see more of Im Soo Jung and Lee Do Hyun, possibly in a Season 2. Can you tell Im slightly bitter? By the way, is there any blog that capture Hye Ran style? The series marks Kim Nam-joo's small screen comeback after six years. Im so confused with what I was feeling after watching it. The show was in their non-English-speaking Top Ten for several weeks after its premiere, though, so . 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). Yes, Hyeran had "principles" and preached about facts and truth, but she was also, like most humans at the end of the day, ambitious and selfish. Good drama, but the ending was terrible. If it wasnt for the ending I would have recommended Misty (plot holes and all) to everyone. mary: I definitely agree that more episodes wouldve helped. 5. Since none of this was clear for me, it is difficult to assess the final situation and empathise with her feelings. She is the one carrying the child, it's her body and her choice, it's not really a situation that you could have in reverse. Please click the link in that email to complete the email change process. Doesn't that highlight the hyeran-finally-loves-taewook-for-who-he-is not his connection not his title, just himself, out of jail, old. In the interview with Haruhana Magazine, Lee Sun-kyun (Dong-hoon) talked about Lee Ji-an: "Ji-an is a character that's never been seen in a Korean drama before (laughs). 16 never happened. All for spiteful hate. The Director (YASSS when he stood up for the newsroom family) and TWs assistant manager when he stood up to the useless detective- he said everything I wanted to say! Through the process of fighting the murder charge, the couple grows closer again. I'm very impressed by the stellar performance of its cast and how the show managed to hook and get me thinking in every episode. Continue reading "Misty: Episodes 15-16 (Final Open Thread)" He tells her that Yoon mightve been attacked after coming to the same conclusion as Detective Kang. I actually wonder if he decides to commit suicide rather than appear on her show knowing she would expose the truth thereby ruining her career so it was his last attempt to protect her? On the child issue, it's not about being wrong or right, but, as his wife said, about having different expectations. 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. Might as well just end it all rather than do that. Not to mention Tae-wooks adorable assistant gets three cheers from me because of the way he yelled at the detective to stop harassing Tae-wook and Hye-ran. She was betrayed by those men she loved and trusted the most. I don't think that in her specific case questioning her behavior was unreasonable for her character. I find it most incredible that he wanted to depict unpretentious love. 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. Then she started talking about what a pervert the loan shark was. He didn't want his boss found out. this actually had me cracking up. Misty, no black or white. "I hope we will get more of such badass female leads without all the tragedy involved!!" xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page I don't understand when Hye Ran said he was the only person who understands her. And thank you for not camping outside our doors with a sign saying Its your fault for making me watch this.. for the politician) and bring down Hwanil Steel or Kang Yool/ Golden Club who in the new scenario, had possible links to KLs murder. That was important. Yes, you read me right - last four episodes. No one on this planet should control your happiness other than yourself. Rambling thoughts (my apologies): They voluntarily fall like flies - the men who surround a femme fatale. In this drama it was the same. I feel like in the premise of keeping everything "unexpected" and "poignant" the show just abandoned all its lead up. Also wat is wit TW and d question @ d end? In the early hours of the morning, Director Jang finds Hye-ran drunk and crying nside the studio. 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. What didn't get answered? I wish we could've seen something like what you and @johnb said. 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. I mean, she could've talked about with him, he would've said no, she would've done it anyway (I hope) and the result would've been the same. Years of neglect, burning with jealousy must have fried his brains and short-circuited his tongue. Their marriage has been on the rocks, but as the case forces them to come together, they must address the issues in their relationship. Only thing I hope that since TW died, at least HR should tell the truth regarding his involvement in the case so that at least MW is spared the death sentence or life imprisonment, yes he did kill kevin's manager. However like a lot of people, I was quite dissatisfied with the ending and found the two hour finale overly-long and self-indulgent. Hye-ran is absolutely awesome, but she is no saint. Tae-wook wonders about his dream, too, as he drives to the station. I don't even really like steak, but **shudder** that is criminal. 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). Having failed to do that when she was first accused of Kevins murder, he resolved to uphold his promise, removing the last weak link that could possibly ruin everything shes fought so hard for all these years her career, her reputation, her unrelenting effort to bring truth and justice to the world. But it depends, of course on each viewer, who brings along a different experience. 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. I wanted a happy ending for Tae-wook and Hye-ran. I became so emotionally invested and I never regret it. I would also not put MW and TW's actions on the same level. Melancholia Season 2. A slightly sobered up Hye-ran walks out of the building, recalling Eun-joos bitter words about her ruining everyones life. That's the definition of a tragedy. Well you're not alone,cause the above conversation I copy pasted almost totally reminds me of EMPRESS KI!!! I cannot stand the plot holes in the last two episodes. I did hate the ending but it's bittersweet hate. Then everything started with you and your petty gossip. Why Kevin felt he needed to be with her? Well, it was a nice watch and I will follow the leads closely in their next projects. Tae Wook HOW COULD YOU`? After Chairman Kwon Jae Kyu's death, the golden keys to the kingdom didn't go to the murdering son Kwon Hyun Joo. I was waiting for this thread, not even to be spoiled, since I avoid reading it and go directly to the comments' section. That would be one justification. Hye-ran rushes to her friend in the ICU but Jang is already there. That said, it's definitely something where communication would have been key, while he was completely blindsided. I just finished watching Misty and all I can say isalthough I'm pretty speechless right nowI was truly blown away by its writing, direction, and cinematography from beginning to end. The media, and drama itself, now lets a man get away with murder while we now relegate our heroine to pander to peoples fantasy of perfect marriages. The dream happy ending for Kwon Hyun Joo and Yoon Jin was cut short. She pretends not to have seen the traffic violation letter while Tae-wook pretends not to notice that shes already seen it. All your efforts are appreciated . You will receive a link to create a new password via email. Connect with Facebook There was no love, you can't love without communication because they never communicated. Well, the verdict is out Misty isnt that rare drama. He scrupulously cleans off any evidence that he was in Kevins car but fails to notice Hye-rans brooch was left behind. It just wasn't perfect. :D I just loved how despite figuring out Taewook was the culprit didnt make me feel any less shocked because you could see how his anger with Hye-ran led to him taking the brooch and planting it there. It didn't do anything. The finale episode 16 of the popular thriller Korean drama Big Mouth aired yesterday, know the ending explained and if Miho dies in the end here. Someone here asked what the Title Misty stood for ? I confess to being in a drama slump and not watching much of anything except Drama Specials and not everyday. Go Joon was there, and also Ji Won~, I'm watching The Good Wife too! Should the writer have written a better script and ending for episodes 15 & 16 - yes. In the studio, Hye-ran opens the show and takes questions from the audience. I mean why couldn't he hv just taken responsibility 4 his actio s instead allowing MW to do dat? But when she refuses to let things go, he breaks her protest sign and practically admits that he killed Dong-hyun. Sisyphus is a king in Greek Mythology who cheats death a few times in an attempt to escape his mortality. 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. On the bright side, I at least got the satisfaction of him not getting his way. Does that mean Tae-wooks reaction to it is more out of his sense of guilt and grief knowing what hed done to Kevin than seeing seeing Hye-rans actions? Well, the ending was kinda unexpected but not exactly shocking. 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. Hye ran.. what can I say?
