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. 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 is strong, ambitious and vulnerable, but at the same time she is cold, manipulative and immensely hypocritical. For an example of the opposite, I would cite Start Up or Itaewon class, with powerful females having both love and career. Even if MW is the writer's mouthpiece, this ending still left me feeling shortchanged. I mean they showed how her attitude due to being close to TW was changing. That said, it's definitely something where communication would have been key, while he was completely blindsided. *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*. Apparently I dropped Misty before this horrific incident. The series marks Kim Nam-joo's small screen comeback after six years. To ask her the question if she was happy, mocks who she is and what she stands for. 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. Min suspiciously says he had things to put in his capsule . :). The ending of Misty is 100% consistent with the narrative of the 15 episodes that got us there. Things I did like were: Eun Joos and GHRs portrayal. However, Mr.Sunshine still received great attention from the public, becoming one of the dramas with the highest ratings in history of the cable network tvN. An unforgettable melodrama. The only constant in her life. "As the title 'Misty' suggests, the drama looks into the truth of life shrouded in uncertainty. Disagree, it's a pretty common trope (the husband too focused on career with a mess in his relationship, leading to cheating or other issues, like in Suspicious Partners, or in the first season of Stranger, where the "villain" is consumed by his job and overall "mission"/"ambition" and it leads to a misunderstanding with his wife and his suicide, despite him loving her. Nevertheless, Misty still holds a special place in my heart. mary: I think a more competent cop wouldve been able to poke holes in Myung-woos story. It is like that after all. You know, I watched that timer run out in episode 16 thinking, Shes wearing the same coat for how many days now? 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. I dont know why writers are so preoccupied with having a killer twist or unexpected ending. And how his pursuit of love actually changed into something else. All the poor dude wanted to hear from his wife was "Well done! His decision stripped her of agenc I envisioned her asking him the question of who killed Kevin lee and I imagined his answer shocking the crowd but both Hye Ran and Tae Wook would share a look and remain confident in their resolve to not only bring the truth to light and spare Myung Woo from death but also to stand by eachother, no matter what. He banged his head on the wall and died despite being an athlete? She never asked Myung-woo or Tae-wook to kill for her, they just did so without anyone understanding how unhappy she was. :( Him re-imagining the scene from the beginning hurts so much. I can't wait to see the kdrama about how a man can't have both career and love. Kang insists hes just doing his job, and Lee shouts at him to do it properly instead of this blind search that messes everyone up. I guess the writer needs to clarify some things here. After Chairman Kwon Jae Kyu's death, the golden keys to the kingdom didn't go to the murdering son Kwon Hyun Joo. Yoon makes plans and fails to meet with Hye-ran because a man with a crowbar attacks her. I don't have a problem with who the murderer is, but I do have a problem with Hye-ran abandoning all her principles. Still, congratulations to the team and especially the actors who did a stellar job. There's a lot of potential in the concept of a Mist series, but sadly, Spike's show mishandled the material. HMW was a totally unnecessary character to be used as a joker,the way he was portrayed; the worst plothole. But then of course, if that happened, we would have Misty for the last three months with us. She's the one who gave the important informations for the news, she was a great friend, she never doubted about the innocence of Hye Ran and I liked when she said that if Hye Ran had had wanted to kill him, it would not have been so messy :p And she was a good journalist, she followed the facts :), Regarding the "he's the only one who understands me," it's possible she was thinking that Tae-wook was miraculously trusting and devoted to her despite all the piling evidence that she committed adultery and/or had motive to kill Kevin Lee. 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? Might as well just end it all rather than do that. 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. After that epic hug outside the museum too! 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. Have we been watching the same drama? Writer: Je-In. On the bright side, I at least got the satisfaction of him not getting his way. Tae-wook drops by his parents house in the morning after waiting up all night for Hye-ran. He tells her that people cant really pinpoint the exact thing thats wrong in their lives theyre all just trying to survive each day. The Korean drama "Misty Mist" is on the air. Who injured the reporter (maybe I missed this) and why exactly? She acted offended that her husband would believe she slept with Kevin and denied it, and the argument is he should have trusted her? If it wasnt for the ending I would have recommended Misty (plot holes and all) to everyone. I'm going to jump on my feminist bandwagon here too. Lolol! 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. Who cooks steak in the microwave? 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. Maybe he cant fix the past, but he can do his best to remove the final barrier to Hye-rans happiness. Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through. Cheese In The Trap. This isn't quite as bad as the ending of Black which negated the entire drama, but it's still really bad. this actually had me cracking up. Misty, no black or white. 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. However, he learn nothing in those long years in prison. I really thought that I was prepared when I saw the ending coming but hell no.haha. We fell in love with Misty. Nice job on the writers using actual mist in the end to make the title work. Dang what a disappointing end of an otherwise very good drama with strong characters and stellar casts. mary: I feel so bad for her. It would have been awful to discover 'the butler did it' after all of the explicit clues pointing to the husband. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 Together. What will happen when her public defender husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee), decides to defend her and save their failing marriage? Myung-woo is right. 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". Classification news. 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 . 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. Gone is the media that was about uncovering social inequities and corruption. But during all the drama, they lied to each other. Even Hyeran got her character developed by considering Taewook in her decisions. If he'd actually investigated this well from the beginning, none of this would have happened. That being said it has been both an honor and a privilege to watch this show with you and I'm glad I could read your thoughts. I didnt understand exactly why he did the things he did. Why they confused it with love? Tae-wook was a formerly honorable man on his way to a TV station to push the 'big lie' about his faux happy life. Hope to see more of her soon. Thank you for the article. 16 never happened. Like the News Nine party and that look Kwak gives Ji-won when she saves him from drinking. If the edges had been smoothed out more, I would have recommended this drama to everyone and their mothers in a heartbeat. Rating : Still A+. Also, why couldn't they explain who tried to kill Yoon or was it a red herring and purely coincidental? mary: I feel so bad for her. The show was in their non-English-speaking Top Ten for several weeks after its premiere, though, so . But episode 15 changed for me. Black's ending was that it created too many. Sad. His assaults on others and eventual killing of Dong Hyun justified his imprisonment. I haven't watched ep 16 (yet?). [6] [7] [8] This drama is a Crime Suspense centering around a headstrong anchorwoman who becomes the suspect in a murder case. It was counterintuitive for him to delete it. They both killed someone who was interacting last with Hye Ran and left her alone at the end. Yay for Jin Ki Joo as Ji Won. If Detective Kang doesn't meet Tae-wook in that morning to say those lines, would Tae-wook's ending be different? The drama ended perfectly and diluting it with the details of unaswered situations/people would reduce the impact of the ending. Tae-wook wonders about his dream, too, as he drives to the station. I always knew that Kang or Ra El would die, I felt that this drama was going to have a tragic ending. Wow. I am one of few who felt that Misty ended in the only way possible, that of Tae Wook's death protecting Hye Ran to the end. One day, her life is turned upside down when she gets mixed up in a murder case with her ex lover and his wife. Kariernya sebagai news anchor sangat cemerlang dan sukses. Connect with Facebook I hoped this will start a new flower-filled path for the actors. She was so selective in what she told Tae Wook that I thought she had some kind of PTSD induced amnesia. Kang reached the car and managed to save and get out alive Ra El. Filming began on 2017-October. I've seen many a k-drama and Misty is now the best drama I have seen in my 8-year k-drama life . I love this drama because it was about an unabashed, ambitious woman, that went for what she wants regardless of her circumstances in life, and because of the man who stood right next to her despite everything--he defended her despite of his suspicions of his infidelity and promised to support her as she goes as far as she wants. 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. Yes, there are saints out there, but many of us (if not most), when held at gun point, are naturally self-serving. The feelings! Should the writer have written a better script and ending for episodes 15 & 16 - yes. But they are consistent. odilettante: 8.4% isn't too shabby, especially for cable, and it's now the third highest-rated JTBC drama (just after Strong Woman Do Bong-soon). var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; Someone asks if shes happy, and Hye-ran hesitates, unable to respond. odilettante will be sad at the lack of pretty clothes.. Required fields are marked *. 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? Some suffer a poorly written ending to an otherwise good drama. 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. I belong to those people who wasn't this disappointed because of the ending. It did not feel significant or punchy at all. 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. A short time later, we see Tae-wook preparing to be a guest in the second episode of Hye-rans successful new show. Btw, I am still in the middle of The Good Wife (I know, so late), but I was loving all the familiar faces. unanswered questions. She did it once already, after all. She was the one sending him the haunting video calls. 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. And all the others people have brought up. WHAT? sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. And yet episode 16 was 2 hours! *Myung Woo was such an underdeveloped character*. I believe my exact words to you were falls on his sword. Okay, so he went into a tunnel instead, but same concept. June 7, 2021. 'Melancholia' Season 1 story gave everyone high hopes to see more of Im Soo Jung and Lee Do Hyun, possibly in a Season 2. Hye-ran would, of course, stay silent because truth comes second to her in regards to her own interests as has been shown countless of times. Hye-ran would have resolved the matter herself and everybody went on with their lives. Well, the verdict is out Misty isnt that rare drama. *shudders*. SO TRAGIC. Enjoyed reading you! Ask the Stars is a romantic comedy drama about an astronaut and a tourist. I do not understand this talk about Hye-ran's principles. Why they didn't talk to each other? We fell in love with Misty.

Tae-wook shows Hye-ran the letter and she wordlessly locks herself up in her room, crying at how messed up everything is. I've concluded the mist is indeed in the producer's head. or maybea murderer? We could have seen Hye ran stuggle with that decision. Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. But I understand why the ending was that way. 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.

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. Nothing else is fun or meaningful. I was eager to know how the writer gonna find the way to wrap this drama with that much mess on taewook's end and knowing how upright taewook is he would never let himself live after getting away with murder. 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".
