Yes, I agree. Ugh. I feelnothing. I mean that's such a waste of a strong willed character after all that talk about truth and facts also after what happened with myung-woo in the past and everything they went through ,they just repeat it? ..neither happy nor sad. Leaving her to deal with the guilt of Tae Wook 's suicide and Myung Woo's capital punishment isn't something a man who truly loved her would have done. 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 this entire show was about a corrupt boy's club trying to get rid of an annoying woman - and failing. or But I know youve made your peace with the ending, can you share why you think Tae-wooks final choice makes sense? Huh. "misty korean drama ending - (Misty Ep. 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. As all the dirty dealings surrounding Kevins murder would have been exposed. When shes wearing the same outfit more than once, you know something serious and emotional is going on. I thought that was sorta. Kinda.. Coward way.? cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access Just gonna repeat here what I said about the ending: I wouldn't mind a bit more suffering in exchange for a bit more closure. She alone could see the figure in public spaces, leading to the idea that maybe she was hallucinating. When I say I like the ending, I mean I like it thematically. But then that guy would sacrifice himself againso I don't know what to think. But she kept quiet about it the whole day until she saw Myung-woo. If it wasnt for the ending I would have recommended Misty (plot holes and all) to everyone. If your happiness is in someone elses hands youre rooting for conditional happiness. 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. mary: You have to give it to them. The court scenes were just too painful to watch and a total drag. Hope to see more of her soon. Black expected the audience to accept the vague. 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". ", I just spit my water out reading this, lmaooo. She negated everything i thot she was trying to portray/ say in d end. That's true.She was gonna reveal him on the show at that time that's why he was supposed to be a guest. The series marks Kim Nam-joo's small screen comeback after six years. We have so many unanswered questions and characters and backstories we could have delved deeper into. On a more superficial note, I enjoyed the side characters till the end, and loved how the relationship between Ji Won and Reporter Kwak turned into subtle flirting. 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. Even though that completely contradicts the point of the drama or at least what I thought was the point of the drama. Also, FL did some questionable things but always for a rational reason, it was not a matter of casually hurting people on a whim like for Ji-won. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { I hope we will get more of such badass female leads without all the tragedy involved!! "I'm just doing my job." 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. I was waiting for this thread, not even to be spoiled, since I avoid reading it and go directly to the comments' section. T___T, 3 weeks ago, when I read that Misty would have a Unexpected ending, I wrote this - Popular anchorwoman Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) is extremely good at her job and wins all the media awards. But once we knew for sure that he did it I knew that a happy ending wasn't really possible anymore. 3. Someone here asked what the Title Misty stood for ? Jang labels an envelope with Kevin Lees murder, to be filed together with news hes been saving for the right moment, but at the last minute he doesnt put Hye-rans note in it and puts an empty envelope in the box. Good drama, but the ending was terrible. Connect with Facebook There was clearly a lack of communication. A man pursuing career and wrecking their home life is pretty much a trope (Suspicious Partners, Stranger 1st season, I would say My Mister for the "possessive/needy/insecure I-want-you-to-distance-yourself-from-family-and-community-and-focus-only-on-me vibe"). 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. Aside from trying to figure out who murdered Kevin Lee, the fashion of sense of Go Hye-Ran was not to be missed. You summed it up for me. I don't think that Hye-ran could have done a light and fluffy "our marriage is great, and we beat injustice" type interview because it would have been a big, fat lie. I would like it better if they just covered up the truth, and all of them lived their life, hopefully, happily. But through the course of the show, she also learnt how to lean on Tae Wook. All the poor dude wanted to hear from his wife was "Well done! Knowing Myung-woo's obsession with avenging Hye-ran, I imagine he'd kill himself and chase Tae-wook around Hell just to torture him for leaving Hye-ran alone. Like you, @odilettante , I am one of the few that really liked the ending. The dream happy ending for Kwon Hyun Joo and Yoon Jin was cut short. Hye-ran rejects this theory and storms out. Kang locked himself in the car with So Ra, so that she would no longer hurt Ra El, whom she had kidnapped. Id rather have seen Hye Ran deliver the bombshell that Tae wook was Kevins killer. Would have wanted more flashbacks of Eun Joo with Hyeran and Myung Woo. The series ends as we see Kim returning to her normal life. Writer: Je-In. I belong to those people who wasn't this disappointed because of the ending. Tae Wook would've been imprisoned and maybe, just maybe he would've had a better ending with Go Hye Ran waiting for him and visiting him regularly as he pays for his crime in prison while she exposes corrupt officials and finds happiness on her own. one last thing I'd like to add: Officer Kang is truly THE worst. The astronaut named Eve Kim will be played by Gong Hyo jin who will meet Lee Min ho as Gong Ryong who is a tourist on the space station. Was anyone else bothered by Tae Wook's decision to commit suicide by driving into a tunnel with his eyes closed? [4] [5] It aired on JTBC 's Fridays and Saturdays at 23:00 ( KST) time slot from February 2 to March 24, 2018. He also apologizes. Had she always been jealous of Hyeran? I cut him slack when he killed the loanshark because he was a youth then. Why writers? But Lee senses something wrong and insists on postponing the vacation. Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. This is a summary of my thoughts: *URGHHHHHHHH* this actually had me cracking up. Misty, no black or white. It would have been better that way writers. An ambitious news anchor for a popular TV channel, Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) will stop at nothing to get what she wants. I must say that the opposite (busy man with miserable home life) is pretty much a trope in and of itself, so finding a work with these features is pretty much like fishing in a bucket -if we tone down the toxic mix of self pithy and self righteouness it would be pretty evident-. Whatever. 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. He deserved a better life more than anyone else. SO TRAGIC. Hoping Kim Nam Joo picks up another awesome character again soon! Even if youre madly in love, you should never think with your heart but with your brain. It would have been awful to discover 'the butler did it' after all of the explicit clues pointing to the husband. Tae Wook bottled everything inside that nicely toned body of his, only to loose it on Kevin's fragile skull(that coroner ought to be fired btw). The person I ended up disliking - to my surprise - is Eun Soo (after all, she was the victim), and Ki Joon was that character who rubbed me the wrong way even if he was onto something that turned out to be the truth. Guess I will just have to go rewatch Mother which was phenomenal and had one of the best endings ever even if I did go through a box of kleenex in the process. I loved some parts of the character, hated others and didn't understand part of her motivations. FB.init({ 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. Thanks @ mary and @ odilettante. ", @odilettante,you said this show reminds you of a modern day sageuk? (I would not have minded an ending where he goes to jail and they patch up their marriage, though. I don't think what Eun Joo told HMW on that day in the past is gossip. 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. Instead, I would camp on that tunnel where our gorgeous Tae Wook died with candles and flowers saying "bye bye love". They had Tae Wook asking Hye Ran in the voiceover So, are you happy? Yes, Hye-ran wasn't a scared teenager anymore, but now she had way, WAY more to lose. Yes, it's an unexpected outcome, but it also takes all of those nuanced, emotional interactions between Tae . The music is amazing. I wrote more or less of the same thing you said,before reading yours. Reporter Yoon, on Director Jangs request, approaches Eun-joo for an interview. Tae-wook is not dead: he went back to his cone-headed, perfect husband material planet. It stars Jang Ki-Yong, Chae Soo-bin, and . I always knew that Kang or Ra El would die, I felt that this drama was going to have a tragic ending. The person I ended up liking the most is the Director. That would have been more like him in my opinion. 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. She would never back down on exposing her own husband. That is what I too am saying. I believe my exact words to you were falls on his sword. Okay, so he went into a tunnel instead, but same concept. As I see it, the ending conveys this pessimism to the guts. 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. I reeeally enjoyed Manaer Lee yelling at Incompetent Detective Kang ! I mean, KL died so pathetically. The drama's ending is flawless, with justice being served . June 7, 2021. No one's going to forget this show soon. 'Melancholia' is a South Korean drama released on 10th November 2021. if (d.getElementById(id)) return; As for the extramarital affair, how is it unpretentious or even love? Everything else pointed to a man who was a coward and self-absorbed. If Detective Kang doesn't meet Tae-wook in that morning to say those lines, would Tae-wook's ending be different? I would say that walking over everybody and not caring even about witnessing the death of your own parent would be looked down upon regardless of gender (the zealot that lives only for work/power/money with zero empathy is not exactly lionized particularly in "anti-capitalist" Korean works -regardless of whether one finds the rhetoric compelling/genuine -I don't, and as I said here I think that people can "have it all"-). After Chairman Kwon Jae Kyu's death, the golden keys to the kingdom didn't go to the murdering son Kwon Hyun Joo. Who can forget the awesome and passionate chemistry of Kim Nam-Joo as Go Hye-Ran and Ji Jin-Hee as Kang Tae-Wook as a middle aged couple. Of course people wouldn't believe her! It was only very recent that she realized she has real feelings for Tae Wook. You cannot go out hating others spitefully without any repercussions to yourself. And men admired her strong personality, she was deemed worthy. Choices have consequences, good or bad, and blaming someone else for your actions will get you nowhere. The matter of her other personal choices is different. He tells her that Yoon mightve been attacked after coming to the same conclusion as Detective Kang. Hye-ran watches over Yoon in the hospital, where Eun-joo finds her to say goodbye. We've all enjoyed all those weeks of analysis and fun. Thank you for this space @mary & @odilettante! There were all these actions and consequences. Hi @growingbeautifully! Exactly. It made it seem like Kevin could still be alive now if that night hadnt happened, as though it was the butterfly moment that led to this hurricane. Suspicious Partners, Stranger (fist season, the antagonist). Both dramas are beautifully made, and even until the last episodes people don't turn to be suddenly whatever else. Of course I was sad that we got a bittersweet ending. Hmm i dont think i wanted them to be holding hands on a beach. Was it Ji-won? 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. I'm late but here to protect Reporter Kwak. Like you are happy, we are happy, everybody is happy. The show was in their non-English-speaking Top Ten for several weeks after its premiere, though, so . It was fitting that Tae-wook was the killer (NOT murderer - that was obviously a manslaughter, not murder) and that Myung-woo took the fall. However, in my opinion, this ending fits the drama so it is a good ending. If Detective Kang did his job (properly) in the first place, he wouldn't have to question almost every little 'feeling' he had. 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? Even Hyeran got her character developed by considering Taewook in her decisions. Really not sure what's happening lately. I wanted it to be such that their love could withstand anything. Its nice to see you again!^^. Nevertheless, Misty still holds a special place in my heart. I recall back when I thought forced separation & reunion was a pretty innovative plot device. The ending answered EVERYTHING, in my opinion. 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 ! 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. :( Him re-imagining the scene from the beginning hurts so much. Tae Wook looked criminally handsome in that scene and oh, so so devastated! On the child issue, it's not about being wrong or right, but, as his wife said, about having different expectations. If the edges had been smoothed out more, I would have recommended this drama to everyone and their mothers in a heartbeat. Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through. now that I think about it I don't know what the drama wanted to convey to its viewers .i feel the writers just wanted to bring a twist to the narrative and do something surprising . But storywise, it sucks to have all that suffering just to end up with no growth. That's the definition of a tragedy. He had nothing left. mary: I wanna replace it with the concept from Smart Prison Living where *spoiler alert* going into a tunnel just means going in and out of prison. 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.
