The issue with that is that it was factually *not* true as per cam footage. 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. Here, we shall answer all your questions regarding the drama. Dont remind me of the dropped threads and unanswered questions, because my brain starts making a list. 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. Missing 9. Im so confused with what I was feeling after watching it. Oh show I really did love you until the last episode and then you failed like so many others before you. It's definitely worth the watch just to see the amazing cast - particularly the two main leads. I feelnothing. Dark, mature, suspenseful. 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. 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 am of course against the "you can't have money/influence/be ambitious and have happy relationships", "money/power/ambition poison/corrupt everything and you will ruin everyone around your" stereotype, regardless of gender (and frankly, just due to the fact that only relatively recently we had works with powerful, uncompromising women, in the past most of this drivel had male characters as the "target"). So I am kind of even more upset at the ending after reading this recap because I didn't hear the Tae Wook car crash at the end?! He had spent 19 years in prison, over half of his life so what difference does it make if prison continued being his life. Btw, I am still in the middle of The Good Wife (I know, so late), but I was loving all the familiar faces. I'm not disapointed by the end because it was clear from pretty soon that it will be not a happy ending. Still, the result is the same. 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. How this man could work 30 years as a detective is really beyond me. I learned so many life lessons and I'll be remembering many quotes from this drama for a very long time. There was obsession and lust, but no love. Both dramas are beautifully made, and even until the last episodes people don't turn to be suddenly whatever else. Plus, did you notice it wasnt until after the trial that she started wearing softer floral ensembles instead of her usual tailored pantsuits and dresses? Hye-ran is devastated to now know the truth, and wishes Tae-wook had just killed her when he learned about the affair. 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. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; 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). She alone could see the figure in public spaces, leading to the idea that maybe she was hallucinating. or maybea murderer? But Im glad they spared us extra doses of Kangs shoddy sleuthing to give us more satisfying scenes. The finale of the Korean drama "Misty Mist" reveals who is the murderer behind the scenes. Outsmarted by his wife, Eun Hye Soo who not only used the assassin Yoon Sun to render him paralyzed. However, I saw even on other forums people seeing it as "punishment" for ambition, a-la "I guess you can't have it all". It would have given Eun joo and the not too bright cop a little closure. Ive been a dramabeans lurker for 5 years now. She really was a role madel. Detective Kang grabs Myung-woo in anger, demanding to know why hes choosing to throw away the rest of his life. Have we been watching the same drama? I blame the incompetent detective for TWs death. The final episodes of the drama start with Do-ha and Chang-ho fighting for the mayor's place. 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. Instead they show her loosing everything and possibly being so broken that even tho she now has a talkshow she wont be able to continue after TWs death. 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. The music is amazing. All in all, I understand her doubts and point of view, and would have found it unbelievable/disappointed had she *not* been insecure/questioned her choices, given the direction her life had taken. hello @pastmidnite @growingbeautifully @giegie good to see you all again. I better not tell you. "I'm just doing my job." Here I feel that the issue shouldn't have been on the merits of the decision, but on the fact that they did not talk about it at all (he was running around like a clueless idiot, buying her a jewel, completely unaware of what she was planning to do, it was clear they did not talk about such a major life decision-he was not only disappointed, but completely blindsided-). Why didnt he ever ask Hye Ran the one thousand questions or ONE question that mattered most? 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. After a while, i did realise that the whole point of the ending was how much we DIDNT know Tae-Wook and his motivations. Petty mistakes accumulating and snowballing out of control. Their marriage has been on the rocks, but as the case forces them to come together, they must address the issues in their relationship. I don't think what Eun Joo told HMW on that day in the past is gossip. Exactly. That would have been more like him in my opinion. Dysfunction is not a given. I feel that the general message of "ambition is wrong" is a feature in movies regardless of gender (though with gender in the mix we have additional foolishness like "she should stay at home", which in this drama is clearly an assertion made only by "villains/losers" characters). 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. Even though I personally think it still has its own flaws, Misty made such a . A slightly sobered up Hye-ran walks out of the building, recalling Eun-joos bitter words about her ruining everyones life. Hye-ran watches over Yoon in the hospital, where Eun-joo finds her to say goodbye. 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. She never asked Myung-woo or Tae-wook to kill for her, they just did so without anyone understanding how unhappy she was. I needed to sort out my thoughts after that *sobs* ending. Huh. Published on. Whatever. 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. One day, her life is turned upside down when she gets mixed up in a murder case with her ex lover and his wife. Misty indeed, our pursue of happiness, the obssessive fight for something we dont even know how to get or how to name. I actually think that this is a pretty common trope (the husband being too focused on career but abysmal love life with the wife cheating maybe Suspicious Partner?). Cheese In The Trap. But that's not a general statement about one's decision to focus on their career. She was betrayed by those men she loved and trusted the most. Still, I have no regrets about watching Misty every Friday & Saturday. You don't even need to be lovers or married to communicate. But I didn't like how the only options that were presented were "stay at home housewife" or "suffering". A remake of the 2003 Japanese movie, Josee, the Tiger and the Fish, Jose is about a romance transcending physical and social class spaces between Yong Seok (Nam Joo Hyuk), a university senior student and an orphaned, disabled young woman Jose, (Han Ji Min) who is cared for by her grandmother. The lack of communication between Hye Ran and Tae Wook is unreal. Ji Won was the one actually sleeping with him but nobody seemed to care about that. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); I wonder why the badass heroines who fight against the corrupt and go-against-the-trend always end up alone,and partially bitter,as if the price they had to pay for being awe inspiring public figures was getting a hole in the heart that can never be filled. It would have been awful to discover 'the butler did it' after all of the explicit clues pointing to the husband. Perhaps it was the message from the drama to viewers Woman, you cant be happy if you choose career over love. I guess the writer needs to clarify some things here. I mean why couldn't he hv just taken responsibility 4 his actio s instead allowing MW to do dat? 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. Lets recall office manager Lee gave that speech *AFTER* he had discovered evidence that Tae-wook was the murderer. It was only very recent that she realized she has real feelings for Tae Wook. Then she started talking about what a pervert the loan shark was. Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. Even though that completely contradicts the point of the drama or at least what I thought was the point of the drama. Manager Lee hands Tae-wook a letter from Myung-woo. That's the definition of a tragedy. Maybe she didn't like her mother due to her past (the creep MW killed), and she hated her mother? Hate it? Tomorrow Season 1 ending explained: Heartbreak, recovery and a renewed purpose hinting at the next season; Tomorrow Season 1 ending explained: Heartbreak, recovery and a renewed purpose hinting at the next season K-drama Tomorrow came to an end after 16 episodes. Melancholia Season 2. I do not understand this talk about Hye-ran's principles. 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. Like a femme fatale who destroys the men because they loved her to much. Credits: Netflix. @giegie0384 is the right one, I think. I didnt really like the ending of Misty but I love it nonetheless. when TW's assistant found but chose to ignore the clothes TW threw out, and when JBC's director chose to broadcast MW as the culprit despite HR's confession (his reasoning being it's 'the facts', but I think if TW arrived at the station before MW, that 'fact' could have easily been another one, or the truth in this case). The court scenes were just too painful to watch and a total drag. 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. 2022-03-17 00:15:20 1244 views. I don't have a problem with who the murderer is, but I do have a problem with Hye-ran abandoning all her principles. Well you're not alone,cause the above conversation I copy pasted almost totally reminds me of EMPRESS KI!!! Hye Ran is an ambitious woman. The only scene of this that really resonated with me was when Office Manager Lee let loose on the worst cop in Seoul. 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. Everything you've said!!!!! Most kdrama lovers always wish for a happy ending for the main leads and the rest of the cast. The ending is controversial and plothole-ridd but. I think it was my favorite character at the end. Yes, there are saints out there, but many of us (if not most), when held at gun point, are naturally self-serving. Required fields are marked *. Full of tears so as to blur the vision (of a person's eyes). In the end, we learn more from negative things that happened instead of just having flowery path all along the way.. Much better ending imho. The point is: I don't know why but most good shows are ruined by an end that disappoints you. I mean, KL died so pathetically. T___T, 3 weeks ago, when I read that Misty would have a Unexpected ending, I wrote this - 'Melancholia' Season 1 story gave everyone high hopes to see more of Im Soo Jung and Lee Do Hyun, possibly in a Season 2. It seemed like Myung-woo was giving her some tough love: Okay Eun-joo, you wanna play the blame game? Things I did like were: Eun Joos and GHRs portrayal. Think about how merciless the Korean netizens are to their celebrities. We all made our own choices. }; .but this will at least reduce his sentence right? Bring back the old Hye Ran! 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. I loved some parts of the character, hated others and didn't understand part of her motivations. Like you, @odilettante , I am one of the few that really liked the ending. 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).
