I know right! It the episode when I cried the most. I would also not put MW and TW's actions on the same level. Hye-ran is absolutely awesome, but she is no saint. Yes, it's an unexpected outcome, but it also takes all of those nuanced, emotional interactions between Tae . There's a lot of potential in the concept of a Mist series, but sadly, Spike's show mishandled the material. There's this thing in kdramas where i get to the end of episode 14 and I think "this is the best drama ever" and then the final two episodes are exactly like this - meandering, unfocussed and frustrating. Thank you @mary and @odilettante for the recap. That would be one justification. No way would she have come out of it a hero. 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. 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. Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. I would have really liked to see a well adjusted, successful and happy female character in this movie. mary: It didnt feel to me like he was blaming her. The former committed murder, while the latter had a confrontation that, with the right adjustments, could have very well happened even had she told him the truth about the coercion/blackmail. I agree, and I am so glad someone else was as taken with the violin BGM as I was. Hye ran was principled, yes, she would seek to uncover the truth until the end.. yes, but she was also too ambitious, capable of dubious things to achieve her goals.. yes.. mary: To the Misty beanies, thank you for trying this new format with us. 12 - Shock) witness: \"the suspect is a man\" . I wanted a happy ending for Tae-wook and Hye-ran. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); Which drama next? js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; I keep reading about the 'plot holes 'but can't think of any. Hye-ran thinks to herself that people who live a crazy life are chasing things that cant be caught. I feelnothing. We have so many unanswered questions and characters and backstories we could have delved deeper into. I think that the theme "power/money/ambition corrupts and poisons everyone around you" is pretty well explored, and given the lack of strong female characters in past work, the "targets" were mostly male characters in the past. (Also, I would've been dead.). That was important. Courthouse scenes are not necessarily necessary. Most of all, I want the ultimate power look: a khaki trench coat and red stilettos. I know the show's called Misty but we still don't actually know what happened that night or why Hye Ran was lying to Kevin Lee about wanting to be with him or where she went with his wife or why he had the black box video in his jacket. "I hope we will get more of such badass female leads without all the tragedy involved!!" I enjoyed watching a drama that was adult-oriented, suspenseful, intriguing, fascinating and entertaining. 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. We could have seen Hye ran stuggle with that decision. And I hated that he was a butthurt until the end. Would have wanted more flashbacks of Eun Joo with Hyeran and Myung Woo. 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). 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. (function(d, s, id) { What would a rare female lead character like Go Hye-Ran wear next? I was disappointed with the last two episodes that eventually went against all that was so good about the show. In the present, Tae-wook closes his eyes as a tear falls. So many bad things had happen and NONE of them deserved it. Haha you should just watch the end scene, when the titular character finally shows up: mist! I thought it was realistic. mary: Noooo I forgot about that for thirty seconds. Tae-wook drops by his parents house in the morning after waiting up all night for Hye-ran. I hardly comment but i was fine with everything until d show decided to mk MW take d fall 4 TW. Why was the story similar to the fake witnesses? You cannot go out hating others spitefully without any repercussions to yourself. To ask her the question if she was happy, mocks who she is and what she stands for. Go Hye Ran's eye makeup and wardrobe FTW~, And can we please send some love to Go Joon? There are endings that are happy. An ambitious news anchor for a popular TV channel, Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) will stop at nothing to get what she wants. You know, I watched that timer run out in episode 16 thinking, Shes wearing the same coat for how many days now? mary: I feel so bad for her. Why they confused it with love? 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. An unforgettable melodrama. The ending in particular I found depressing in a way the rest of the drama - however moody and dark - wasn't. But you're right. And the funny thing is they are mostly criticized by other women, whatever she does. 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-. But I guess its all about accepting peoples choices. GHRs expert reporting skills should have been used for a greater purpose. 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. That is what I too am saying. But one thing is clear, Go Hye Ran was a wonderful, amazing, inspiring, beautiful, powersuit-working protagonist and I'll remember her for a long long time. Tragedies end tragically. 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 think it was my favorite character at the end. I was actually confused after I first saw the episode whether he died or not. Then did all this work to either punish his wife or get her to love him, but Why? odilettante: Um well, I loved how smug Myung-woo was in his confession about killing Kevin, just because of how much it annoyed Detective Kang. Hye-ran was in her car, why was the brooch in Kevins? also thank you @mary and @odilettante for giving us a place to come together and yell about our feelings! In the early hours of the morning, Director Jang finds Hye-ran drunk and crying nside the studio. // Load the SDK asynchronously Yes, there are saints out there, but many of us (if not most), when held at gun point, are naturally self-serving. Even if MW is the writer's mouthpiece, this ending still left me feeling shortchanged. 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! Thanks to Mary and Odilettante for starting this thread. mary: Misty didnt manage to beat Woman of Dignity in ratings, but what it lacked in finale numbers it made up for in staying power? 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. :(. Speak of the devil, Myung-woo shows up like the ninja he is and tells Hye-ran to buck up. He was a snoop at most, maybe it's his desire to know all facts like his (in his mind) perfect sunbae Hye-ran. Rambling thoughts (my apologies): They voluntarily fall like flies - the men who surround a femme fatale. Ha Myung Woo's sacrifice didn't make sense and was all for nothing because of the last 10 mins. Your efforts and time are very much appreciated. }); Maybe they didnt like that KLs image was ruined, and that company profits fell? SURPRISE! In his drive to change GHRs hungry ambitions and make her love him, he didnt understand that she wouldnt have changed her mind now because she needed him now. All your efforts are appreciated . 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. Mi-ho and Jerry arrive at the fish industry and enter the premises without anxiety in the slightest as . And I was sad that Myung Woo will once again, be sent to prison. 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. I wanted Tae Wook to be stronger, and Myung Woo was strong in the wrong, delusional way. 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 expected him to tell the truth and take responsibility for it. The lack of communication between Hye Ran and Tae Wook is unreal. *facepalms*, Wut? 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. It's in the scene where she tells him that she loves him (finally) but she wants to break up with him because she doesn't like the pain that comes with love. The ending of Misty is 100% consistent with the narrative of the 15 episodes that got us there. Hye ran.. what can I say? The only satifying part was Manager Lee giving the Dummy Detective the much-deserved yelling for his shoddy investigation. He banged his head on the wall and died despite being an athlete? 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. Even if youre madly in love, you should never think with your heart but with your brain. The following morning, Eun-joo ignores Myung-woos warning and continues her one-woman protest outside the JBC building. There are those that are sad. I saw no sign of love in her marriage and instead it appeared Kevin used her to support his career and she stayed with him for the money and prestige even though she knew he was an adulterous POS. I hoped this will start a new flower-filled path for the actors. Hye-ran is devastated to now know the truth, and wishes Tae-wook had just killed her when he learned about the affair. She negated everything i thot she was trying to portray/ say in d end. There was no way that anyone was gonna get out of this "happy". But then that guy would sacrifice himself againso I don't know what to think. Tae Wook HOW COULD YOU`? All for spiteful hate. I still love the show but I'm so disappointed in Tae Wook. Network: JTBC. His manager? 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. Haha. Unless the writer wants a season 2 the last few min of this show aren't my favorite. .just nothing. And this entire show was about a corrupt boy's club trying to get rid of an annoying woman - and failing. My point is, it does not need to be toxic, in the female lead's case in this drama it turned out to be, but this was because lack of communication/trying to push on her husband lies and denial of objective reality as opposed to the truth (which is not merely the one in the cam footage, but the fact that in the cam footage she was lying to KL and was coerced and then threatened, that she does not love KL and is not merely using her husband as he suspects and she for too long does not deny -the guy does not even know she was waiting for him as well during their first date, they don't talk after he gives her the jewel he got from KL, and she lies feigning outrage, asking him to trust her lie, rather than telling him the truth in its entirety, including her feelings of revulsion for KL, as evidenced by her face and the way she cleaned her lips, and him they don't even have this conversation *after* they both know about the affair/cam footage-). October 7, 2022. 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. Or those dramas laid those things realistic and made our minds prepared and sorta expecting such an ending/outcome. Myung Woo's self-sacrifice continued his love and protector role for Hye Ran. For answering questions, showing us more of the characters weve become invested in, and fashion. 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. It was lust, struggle for dominance and deceit masqueraded as passion. I agree.Despite our hopes,if such a thing would happen it'd be unrealistic. I wrote more or less of the same thing you said,before reading yours. And who was Kevin planning to meet that night? There were all these actions and consequences. 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. Petty mistakes accumulating and snowballing out of control. 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. She was no longer hungry for success, she even passed on News Nine to Ji Won. The series ends as we see Kim returning to her normal life. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. Credits: Netflix. It just wasn't perfect.
