There are many dramas which dont end as well as they start. Also, why couldn't they explain who tried to kill Yoon or was it a red herring and purely coincidental? See how shitty that sounds? Misty final episode explanation? There was obsession and lust, but no love. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; Your efforts and time are very much appreciated. Not only was the. *The ending was a destructive spiral a tragedy in the sense that all 3 mens lives were ruined including GHRs and EJs and the dead manager*. 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. And who was Kevin planning to meet that night? The real truth, however, is that the cam footage was not the whole story: she was coerced and blackmailed. I guess I have weird concerns.. Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through. I also thought her mother would play a bigger role. It just wasn't perfect. I would like it better if they just covered up the truth, and all of them lived their life, hopefully, happily. And Myungwoo? They still have to defend themselves if they don't want any children. Tae Wook looked criminally handsome in that scene and oh, so so devastated! Hye-ran was in her car, why was the brooch in Kevins? If Detective Kang did his job (properly) in the first place, he wouldn't have to question almost every little 'feeling' he had. Writer: Je-In. Id rather have seen Hye Ran deliver the bombshell that Tae wook was Kevins killer. I would also not put MW and TW's actions on the same level. The ending is controversial and plothole-ridd but. 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. I know right! No ones going to forget this show soon. The cast members are really doing their best to tell the real story and feelings as sincerely as possible," the producer said. How this man could work 30 years as a detective is really beyond me. HMW was a totally unnecessary character to be used as a joker,the way he was portrayed; the worst plothole. There still many other vampires .. Like the soldiers of the bad guy "I forgot his name" .. And at the same time there still another kind hearted vampire .. Tae Wok was honest, fair and firm in his life and love but. ooppss he had a dark side.. I will be the last person who says that Hye Ran was perfect and without any faults. He's obsessed with Hye Ran and let's not mistake it for love in any way. It all boils down to Tae Wook. 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. Well put, bravo!!! 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?! Rating : Still A+. That was the truth. 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. "Im not asking to be spoon-fed, but I want to know what I just ate." "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 must be watching a different drama. No one's going to forget this show soon. She was a victim of her poor choices but that is all since it was her hatred and thirst for revenge that led to the death of her child. 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. Black's ending was that it created too many. mary: I definitely agree that more episodes wouldve helped. 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. So disappointing. Release Date: February 2, 2018 - March 24, 2018. By the way, is there any blog that capture Hye Ran style? Min suspiciously says he had things to put in his capsule . The ending in particular I found depressing in a way the rest of the drama - however moody and dark - wasn't. There are some things where her gender comes into play inevitably. In her private life, Hye Ran was the opposite of what she vowed to uphold in her job. Kim Nam Joo and Ji Jin Hee were fantastic in their roles. Tae-wook finds Hye-ran hastily leaving his office. October 7, 2022. I cannot stand the plot holes in the last two episodes. Sisyphus is a king in Greek Mythology who cheats death a few times in an attempt to escape his mortality. 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. 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-). Meanwhile, Detective Kang drops by Tae-wooks office where he gets scolded by Office Manager Lee for torturing the couple. Which drama next? No one on this planet should control your happiness other than yourself. 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. I really thought that I was prepared when I saw the ending coming but hell no.haha. Tae-wook is silent as Hye-ran leaves, but he thinks to himself that anything he says will just sound like an excuse, when the truth is hes in pain but he still loves her. Enjoyed reading you! What happens to Hwan Il and the other baddies? 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. How did the fake witness describe the fight between Tae-wook and Kevin so perfectly, even though it was proven he couldnt see anything? She turns to the camera, and her eyes fill with tears as we hear Tae-wook asking, Hye-ran, are you happy?. 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. .but nothing really happened in the last two episodes.There were too many monologues and everything slowed down. If he had gone on the TV show and confessed, it would have ended Hye-ran, too. Much better ending imho. 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. 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. A suspiciously couple-y moment between Ji-won and Reporter Kwak prompts the team to compare him and Tae-wook as perfect guys, and only Reporter Yoon notices that Hye-ran is just faking the happy facade. In my literature classes, our teachers always insisted on the fact that nobody reads the same book, or even, if you read it twice, you never read the same story, because as an individual, you are always changing, and that makes your experience unique, every time it happens. The show took a psychological horror approach to The Mist and failed to include the horrific monsters from the . The "icarus" ("the nail that sticks out gets hammered down") theme of being too ambitious is an old one. Or those dramas laid those things realistic and made our minds prepared and sorta expecting such an ending/outcome. Obviously, she couldn't advertise that because it gave her more motive to kill him. I belong to those people who wasn't this disappointed because of the ending. Is it so hard to portray a powerful woman? I would also object to the "obsession" label. Who cooks steak in the microwave? Frankly, I would have liked the opposite from this drama, not from the female lead, who after all had her own dramatic flaws and was meant to be depicted as such (and was by no mean the only one -see the prosecutor who was used for power, etc.-). 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? The issue with that is that it was factually *not* true as per cam footage. Nevertheless, Misty still holds a special place in my heart. 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! And she never did something for her husband too, she let him in the dark with all the Kevin Lee issue or with her issues at work when her job was threatened My favourite character is Reporter Yoon ! Rambling thoughts (my apologies): They voluntarily fall like flies - the men who surround a femme fatale. Even though I personally think it still has its own flaws, Misty made such a . She sees an open letter on his desk and reads about Su Hyeon being alive. 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. 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. And in the end, you open your hand, and there is nothing. You summed it up for me. The feelings! js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; I don't have a problem with who the murderer is, but I do have a problem with Hye-ran abandoning all her principles. I guess it was better if Eun-Joo or anyone besides Tae Wook was revelead to be the real killer. Melancholia Season 2. mary: Misty didn't manage to beat Woman of Dignity in ratings, but what it lacked in finale numbers it made up for in staying power? And Hye-rans obvious efforts to appease Kevin means she wants to handle the affair quietly. I was ultimately dissapointed wit d 2 of dem, she HR didn't stand 4 d truth n he was a coward in d end. Outsmarted by his wife, Eun Hye Soo who not only used the assassin Yoon Sun to render him paralyzed.

She confronts Eun-joo for being the last person to talk to Yoon, but Eun-joo turns it around on Hye-ran by revealing that Yoon met with Tae-wook before being mugged. 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? 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. 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. How did Kang Yool know, or did they randomly guess it? I dont really know what they were trying to impart with us at the end. Myung Woo is a psycho. Hye-ran thinks to herself that people who live a crazy life are chasing things that cant be caught. odilettante: Essentially, yes, although Hye-ran will undoubtedly have PTSD knowing that the men shes loved have either killed or died because of her. I wouldn't mind a bit more suffering in exchange for a bit more closure. But My Explanation To This Mess Is : After Park Ji Sang's death .. Lol. Eun Joo and the manager should have played a role in KLs death. 16 never happened. He leaves to surrender to the police but Hye-ran runs after him and begs for some time so they can figure out what to do together. Meanwhile , Ji won and reporter Kwak could have pressed on with their fight against the evil powers. 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. So I understand the disappointment we're all feeling. If your happiness is in someone elses hands youre rooting for conditional happiness. I think the show made it seem like it could be a potential problem that he observed and filmed them, but ultimately he rather idolized her professionally. . odilettante: Not to mention what, exactly, was on that black box video. However, I give props to the writer for actually hinting at and following through with the male lead as the culprit. Or fog. If he'd actually investigated this well from the beginning, none of this would have happened. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. Misty ( Korean : ) is a 2018 South Korean television series starring Kim Nam-joo and Ji Jin-hee. Manager Lee hands Tae-wook a letter from Myung-woo. But Im glad they spared us extra doses of Kangs shoddy sleuthing to give us more satisfying scenes. That's the slowest rushed ending in history. Kevin Lee was a jerk, but he was one of the man who loved GHR passionately and if the character was played by someone else, I don't think it will have the same effect. FB.init({ 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. Im not asking to be spoon-fed, but I want to know what I just ate. If art is imitating life, then the ending for this drama is appropriate. Network: JTBC. ^-^ Mistys ending however, was so ??? Do not misunderstand me, I love Hye-ran as a character. Director Jang mobilizes the News Nine team to cover this breaking news. I really would have liked to see a well adjusted female character that could have a great career while also communicating with her spouse about big life decisions, rather than deceive them in an attempt to deny reality (which they both did, for their respective secrets -and it would have been good for this parallel to have been made explicit to them as well-). She was lying her *ss off. As I see it, the ending conveys this pessimism to the guts. Worst, he kills and has no remorse. 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. When Hye-ran protests, he insists theyre reporting a fact: Myung-woo confessed to killing Kevin Lee. And yes, it's really crazy that we are presented the binary alternative "stay-at-home-mom" or "suffer", which is a false choice. I didnt really like the ending of Misty but I love it nonetheless. Episodes: 16. I blame the incompetent detective for TWs death. 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-). Why didnt he ever ask Hye Ran the one thousand questions or ONE question that mattered most? Perhaps it was the message from the drama to viewers Woman, you cant be happy if you choose career over love. Someone as good as Park Ji Sang .. Who stands and helps all the weak people .. I thought it was realistic. Hes here to say goodbye to them too, since he wont be able to visit them where hes going. "Misty" has established itself as a melodrama to be remembered. Nice job on the writers using actual mist in the end to make the title work. I mean as much as how the ending makes perfect sense we all watch drama to be entertained, no?

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. Meanwhile, Hye-ran hasnt budged from her seat at all, freaking out Jang and the rest of the team. Apparently I dropped Misty before this horrific incident.

Meanwhile, Myung-woo meets Eun-joo to talk her out of her misguided hate. 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. It would have been awful to discover 'the butler did it' after all of the explicit clues pointing to the husband. The dream happy ending for Kwon Hyun Joo and Yoon Jin was cut short. Etc etc, just Why? odilettante: Apparently Im the only one who didnt mind the ending, but thats because I never really expected a true happy ending.

[6] [7] [8] Nothing else is fun or meaningful. Even if MW is the writer's mouthpiece, this ending still left me feeling shortchanged. 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. In the end, this was a show tried too hard. Tae-Wook ssi, a (half) innocent man took the blame and legal punishment for your crime, and he said, in exchange for that your punishment was to take care and protect Hye Ran for the rest of your life, and you still bailed??
