misty kdrama ending explained

In this drama, I'm disapointed by the couple Hye Ran and Tae Wook. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. 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 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. Suddenly, his assistant reveals herself to be his daughter. I felt bad for MW & HR, shes left with almost nothing but yay for Jiwon & Reporter Kwak. I enjoyed watching a drama that was adult-oriented, suspenseful, intriguing, fascinating and entertaining. I didn't like that the answer seemed to be "not" by the end. or We see how crazy this is in reverse in Crazy Rich Asian. I thought that was sorta. Kinda.. Coward way.? The dream happy ending for Kwon Hyun Joo and Yoon Jin was cut short. But that's not a general statement about one's decision to focus on their career. Why did he decide to take the fall for TW? Yes, there are saints out there, but many of us (if not most), when held at gun point, are naturally self-serving. "Tae Wook I shouldnt have trusted you the moment you microwaved that steak. Well, it was a nice watch and I will follow the leads closely in their next projects. Hye ran.. what can I say? I am super disappointed. Really Eun Soo is the victim?? Thank you for the brilliant theories and jokes. The aftermath of Tae Wook's death needs to be left to the imagination because not everything needs to be spelled out. I hardly comment but i was fine with everything until d show decided to mk MW take d fall 4 TW. odilettante: Not to mention what, exactly, was on that black box video. Hye-ran is devastated to now know the truth, and wishes Tae-wook had just killed her when he learned about the affair. It was all in line with the unraveling chain of events. GHRs expert reporting skills should have been used for a greater purpose. Its her first serious drama and the project that made her physically and mentally drained the most (she said it during her interview) but is also the one dearest to her heart. All she did was connect the dots. I wanted Tae Wook to be stronger, and Myung Woo was strong in the wrong, delusional way. 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. 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. 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. Everything you've said!!!!! That's the show's thesis statement. 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. From the star cast filled with immense talent to an intriguing story, My Mister has everything. Tae Wok was honest, fair and firm in his life and love but. ooppss he had a dark side.. 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. They dont notice Myung-woo watching them talk. 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. I think like most people on this thread is a little stunned by the ending and wish that it could have been done better. odilettante: Essentially, yes, although Hye-ran will undoubtedly have PTSD knowing that the men shes loved have either killed or died because of her. It was great sharing this A+ thrilling drama with you ! The decent thing to do was to at least let him know about the abortion plan first. We finally see that night from Tae-wooks point of view: finding Hye-ran asleep on the couch and consumed by anger at seeing her wearing the brooch, he chases down Kevin Lees car and argues with him in a deserted area. I mean why couldn't he hv just taken responsibility 4 his actio s instead allowing MW to do dat? Kang locked himself in the car with So Ra, so that she would no longer hurt Ra El, whom she had kidnapped. 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. mary: Gah! I learned so many life lessons and I'll be remembering many quotes from this drama for a very long time. KL's widow blamed her, and while I don't buy that, I also don't buy the "it's not anyone's fault". Who wouldn't want a happy ending for Hyeran where she gets her happy family with kids, her loving and loyal husband, thriving career, all of that while saving the day by taking down the bad guys? Also in the list of satisfying things? Misty: With Nam-ju Kim, Jin-hee Ji, Hye-jin Jeon, Tae-kyung Im. *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*. She was so selective in what she told Tae Wook that I thought she had some kind of PTSD induced amnesia. This character clearly was not the female lead, and that's okay as far as her characterization is concerned). 16 never happened. Not only was the. Plus the many unanswered questions which Mary and Odilettante mentioned above. She was fierce as hell for her pursuit of the news, the media that was about exposing the ills of society and the powers might be. That is what I too am saying. Spoilers Ahead Him taking the fall for it didnt make sense to me because he was still in prison then and unless he hires someone else to take fall as the assassin, Im finding it hard to believe how hed prosecuted but then again, Detective Kang was such an absolute idiot smi wouldnt be surprised. .just nothing. Misty - Obscured or clouded by or as if by mist. Hye Ran is an ambitious woman. So it was disingenuous on his part. If HMW were released on the day Kevin died,how would he be able to find and kill Kevin in such a short time and how he possibly could have known about Kevin's presence and his being a threat for Hye Ran while being jailed for 19 years? Why Taewook didn't talk to her? I don't know if the writer wants, but I am very certain that I do want a second season. Meanwhile, Myung-woo meets Eun-joo to talk her out of her misguided hate. But Lee senses something wrong and insists on postponing the vacation. I'd have loved to see them dating! I expected him to tell the truth and take responsibility for it. He had spent 19 years in prison, over half of his life so what difference does it make if prison continued being his life. odilettante: Its been fun sharing in the discussions each week, and while Hye-rans happiness may be in question, were happy that everyone stuck with us until the bitter and foggy end. No one's going to forget this show soon. How can a show railing against sexism be in the end so sexist? The light bulb moment I got after finishing this drama: aah so that's why it's called Misty! The guy married her and had basic, reasonable expectations of respecting certain boundaries, such as not being cheated on, or lied to. Credits: Netflix. Thanks again to @mary and @odilettante for all the amazing discussions here you've both started. That night, Tae-wook comes home to an empty house while Hye-ran treats the News Nine team to drinks. mary: I think a more competent cop wouldve been able to poke holes in Myung-woos story. Why did Tae Wook decide that suicide was the best were of protecting her when she didn't want him to go to jail? What did you not understand? Her husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee) who is a prosecutor-turned-public defender, decides to defend her. She never asked Myung-woo or Tae-wook to kill for her, they just did so without anyone understanding how unhappy she was. She did not try to pathetically pin it all on her husband, she understood they had different expectations. The whole episode building up to the not-so-big reveal was properly executed. Queens of facial expressions. SO TRAGIC. Whats up with him? window.fbAsyncInit = function() { But they are consistent. Initially, i did feel like that they should have shown us more. The ending of the Korean drama Anna is destined to be a tragedy, Suzy's new drama Anna, only hard work is the correct solution . 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. No way could she have survived the public backlash. I find it most incredible that he wanted to depict unpretentious love. It's a pretty common trope (guy focuses on career while his home life falls apart -cheating or fighting or divorce-). Thanks to Mary and Odilettante for starting this thread. ", @odilettante,you said this show reminds you of a modern day sageuk? They didn't see each other even once since he shunned her visits. The complexities of the plot structure and character development rival any classic novel. 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. Good drama, but the ending was terrible. Thanks @ mary and @ odilettante. "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 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. Nobody forced me to watch this 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. Of course I was sad that we got a bittersweet ending. Still, the result is the same. Hye-ran walks into Director Jangs office and writes tonights headline on a piece of paper: Kevin Lees murderer surrenders himself to the police. one last thing I'd like to add: Officer Kang is truly THE worst. Min stops walking and gently entwines his fingers with hers as all the lights suddenly turn on. She is not a sociopath without empathy. After Chairman Kwon Jae Kyu's death, the golden keys to the kingdom didn't go to the murdering son Kwon Hyun Joo. Seo Hee was supposed to be interviewed by Woo Sin for the book, but he disappeared. You cannot go out hating others spitefully without any repercussions to yourself. Someone asks if shes happy, and Hye-ran hesitates, unable to respond. I recall back when I thought forced separation & reunion was a pretty innovative plot device. 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. I thought it was realistic. Nevertheless, Misty still holds a special place in my heart. 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. The ending is disappointing but I didn't regret meeting such characters (brought to life by the cast) and would recommend it to friends who are into such themes or genre. 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! Backstage, her stylist looks shocked after answering Hye-rans phone. But I know youve made your peace with the ending, can you share why you think Tae-wooks final choice makes sense? People are responsible for their actions, but actions also have consequences. Some suffer a poorly written ending to an otherwise good drama. Tae-wook loads Kevins body into the latters car and drives around, looking for a place to die together. You didnt make me kill anyone. 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. But storywise, it sucks to have all that suffering just to end up with no growth. I would say "a fortunate man" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fortunate_Man) as a western movie and "a single rider" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Single_Rider) as a korean one would be the best examples of the theme (latter is not a kdrama, a kmovie maybe). 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. 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). I spent 16 episodes agonizing with her! Tae Wook's love for Hye Ran looks noble but is far from desirable. 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. abstract. They wanted to use Foggy, but who would've want to watch a drama called Foggy? Yoon makes plans and fails to meet with Hye-ran because a man with a crowbar attacks her. I wrote more or less of the same thing you said,before reading yours. That said, she had unique challenges: being switched around for someone younger and more beautiful is not something that would have happened to a man, and her becoming a house-wife is certainly not an expectation people would have towards a man, but centrally, it is also not something that people ask of him -besides the scum lawyer-, it's not something her husband wants and she is *generally* admired for breaking the mold and opening the way (the exception being the corrupt prosecutor's wife, who is also clearly depicted on the "villain's side" one of the reasons I would have liked for them to also introduce a well adjusted female character with a career and a healthy home life -good communication about big life decisions, being there for their parents when they are on their death bed, I wouldn't ask for a kid, but wouldn't object if they had one-, to point out that this is not a dichotomy, a binary choice). That would have been more like him in my opinion. If your happiness is in someone elses hands youre rooting for conditional happiness. However, I give props to the writer for actually hinting at and following through with the male lead as the culprit. If the edges had been smoothed out more, I would have recommended this drama to everyone and their mothers in a heartbeat. Choices have consequences, good or bad, and blaming someone else for your actions will get you nowhere. Well, the verdict is out Misty isnt that rare drama. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Please enter your username or email address. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; To be fair that may be the misty part of the drama, but Why? She negated everything i thot she was trying to portray/ say in d end. 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. All he had left was his pride and integrity and both got systematically stripped away during the series. Perhaps it was the message from the drama to viewers Woman, you cant be happy if you choose career over love. The ending is controversial and plothole-ridd but. Im hoping to see her in any project in the future and I just want to applaud the whole team (minus the writer) for their hard work. . A good friend of mine just don't watch this episode. 16 Popular and Best K-Dramas With Happy Ending. How did Kang Yool know, or did they randomly guess it? That would be one justification. 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. 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. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Her estranged husband, who's a lawyer, decides to defend her and hence starts their journey to fall back in love. This actually pissed me off the most about his character in the beginning (although he did seem to get it later on) - he acted like he was all in love with her and would accept anything while having zero respect for her dreams or ambitions and turning cold on her the moment she chose her own life above whatever family illusion he was trying to push on her that she didn't even want at the moment. Manager Lee hands Tae-wook a letter from Myung-woo. This show left me BROKENHEARTED. I better not tell you. I blame the incompetent detective for TWs death. I share the same thoughts and I couldn't have said it better myself. Is this sarcasm like Are you happy you make me kill Kevin and make me kill myself? Or is this the drama selling misplaced emotion as ultimate love Are you happy I sacrificed myself so that you can remain spotless?. I believe it was William Dean Howells who pointed out almost 100 years ago "What the American public wants is a tragedy with a happy 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). And he could kill her too if it comes to that. They kept hinting at her manipulative tendencies especially after her use of Knocking on Heavens door to emotionally shake up GHR. I would also not put MW and TW's actions on the same level. "In the end, she was blamed for the choices of the men that loved her and for their obsession of her". The person I ended up liking the most is the Director. Ask the Stars is a romantic comedy drama about an astronaut and a tourist. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page Why jail oppa felt he had to do all those things for her? YES YOU SHOULDVE. One example is kdrama_fashion. (function(d, s, id) { There was no love, you can't love without communication because they never communicated. 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). I'm not even mad at the murder per se but that he pulled Hye Ran into it and that she finally LOVED him only for everything come crushing down. Wasn't expecting Kevin Lee to suddenly pop up.. Tae Wook being perfect came out of nowhere, she did not marry him because he was perfect. It was just implausible that Myung-woo committed the murder. Tae Wook HOW COULD YOU`? Have we been watching the same drama? Things I did like were: Eun Joos and GHRs portrayal. Not all dangling situations need nor can be answered. odilettante will be sad at the lack of pretty clothes.. i enjoyed this drama with all of its turns and surprises it should've been called Twisty the cast was stellar, acting was stellar, pantsuits stellar but the fluffy floral dress wasn't in character, especially when she was at home. Personally, I loved it because, for a moment, I loved Misty almost as much as I did when it first started. I thought she was going to reveal the truth on her show, so the whole him dying made no sense for me. Horrible ending to an otherwise awesome drama. No one did expect that kind of ending. Ugh.
