misty kdrama ending explained

She reveals that when she questioned Tae-wook with the growing pile of evidence, he admitted to killing Kevin Lee. Dysfunction is not a given. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); 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. He dies in a pool of blood, repeating how much he likes Kim-Som. He vowed that he would make Hye-ran fall in love with him, and she did unfortunately a little too late. I am super disappointed. I am very much looking forward to what kind of lies Anna will use to convince Hyun-joo and explain the money and accessories that were stolen at that time. mary: It didnt feel to me like he was blaming her. Another tragedy in this ending is she didn't even get back her status as a top reporter after they exposed Kang Yool+Hwanil's corruption. 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. I thought he wld go to jail but she would wait for him. She is not a sociopath without empathy. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; What the ending does provides us is that TW is *selfish* unlike his upright, uptight portrayal initially. Your email address will not be published. June 27, 2022. Nobody forced me to watch this drama. After Chairman Kwon Jae Kyu's death, the golden keys to the kingdom didn't go to the murdering son Kwon Hyun Joo. They had Tae Wook asking Hye Ran in the voiceover So, are you happy? Not only was the. I just loved how despite figuring out Taewook was the culprit didnt make me feel any less shocked because you could see how his anger with Hye-ran led to him taking the brooch and planting it there. 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. He scrupulously cleans off any evidence that he was in Kevins car but fails to notice Hye-rans brooch was left behind. What did you not understand? It didn't do anything. 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. Well put, bravo!!! 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). 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. She pretends not to have seen the traffic violation letter while Tae-wook pretends not to notice that shes already seen it. I feel that the general message of "ambition is wrong" is a feature in movies regardless of gender (though with gender in the mix we have additional foolishness like "she should stay at home", which in this drama is clearly an assertion made only by "villains/losers" characters). I will pretend that the final never happen and Misty is the best drama of the year. They are not the same. The ending didn't answer the Why. The ending was a disappointment because it made everything she had previously fought for seem useless because clearly, after finding out about her husband, she wasn't going to be happy. Also in the list of satisfying things? There was no way that anyone was gonna get out of this "happy". You sop right Mary!!!!!! However, I saw even on other forums people seeing it as "punishment" for ambition, a-la "I guess you can't have it all". But these men, ugh. Suicide however is not what I expected Tae Wook to do - a man of such calibre. happy Thursday, Beanies! That's the definition of a tragedy. Hye-ran thinks to herself that people who live a crazy life are chasing things that cant be caught. You cannot go out hating others spitefully without any repercussions to yourself. Maybe with a new and smarter detective. She negated everything i thot she was trying to portray/ say in d end. To be fair that may be the misty part of the drama, but Why? Had she always been jealous of Hyeran? 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"). Didn't you know? The ending is controversial and plothole-ridd but. 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. She seemed very manipulative with KLs manager- making him pity her and then driving him to go after GHRs life. 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. What would a rare female lead character like Go Hye-Ran wear next? But episode 15 changed for me. No way could she have survived the public backlash. yep, and that Myeong Woo would have moved on to do something more meaningful for himself rather than noble prisonhood. I feel bad for Hye Ran though. It is like that after all. I needed to sort out my thoughts after that *sobs* ending. Meanwhile , Ji won and reporter Kwak could have pressed on with their fight against the evil powers. , Drama slump? Rating : Still A+. If the edges had been smoothed out more, I would have recommended this drama to everyone and their mothers in a heartbeat. Hye-ran deserves happiness. Min suspiciously says he had things to put in his capsule . All the lead up caused the suspense of KLs death to fizzle and then ep 16 was very limp. I am not that annoyed at the ending, except for the hard fact that Tae Wook was indeed the killer, even though I vehemently wanted to deny that. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; In her private life, Hye Ran was the opposite of what she vowed to uphold in her job. That would be one justification. *Hye Ran's status as femme fatale is almost totally a product of how the men in her life put her on that pedestal. mary: I think a more competent cop wouldve been able to poke holes in Myung-woos story. Hye-ran tries to ignore her doubts about Tae-wook, but while claiming her brooch from the evidence room, Detective Kang shares that it was the brooch that started it all. I often read comments on different sites that Hye Ran is also responsible that the men in her life turned out this way. It was so fun to read your comments and dialogues. The final episodes of the drama start with Do-ha and Chang-ho fighting for the mayor's place. Yong Yee. odilettante: I feel like Hye-rans clothes are a character unto themselves. I would also object to the "obsession" label. :(. That was important. Dark, mature, suspenseful. It's the kind of love which destroys because it wants to be perfect and unconditional when it is not. So, I'm not sure he could have gone on to do that interview regardless of interacting with Detective Kang. I couldn't stop thinking about the ending even days after watching the show. Meanwhile, Detective Kang drops by Tae-wooks office where he gets scolded by Office Manager Lee for torturing the couple. Dont remind me of the dropped threads and unanswered questions, because my brain starts making a list. 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. One example is kdrama_fashion. Quick! 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. I guess its because the show thought Ji Jin Hee looked the best as the strong, silent and angsty type. Then In-Hye splits her money with her sisters. I would say that in the Misty drama in particular, some self reflection is in order, considering the extremes she went to (choosing to go to an interview over witnessing her own mother's last moments is not exactly what one would call "normal" behavior, and I feel it's an example of something that would have been criticized regardless of gender -though other things like being a housewife are gender specific, but also observations made by two characters that are clearly identified as losers/villains in the drama, so not a message/claim made by the drama itself-). Whats up with him? I guess the writer needs to clarify some things here. Even if MW is the writer's mouthpiece, this ending still left me feeling shortchanged. appId : '127538621120543', While Ha Woo Shin made a deal with Eun Hye Soo to trade . Aug 31, 2020. I'm okay with a tragic end, I've been through quite a lot of tragic endings and stories during my movies- & dramas viewing years, but at least give me a glorious one, give me an epically tragic one. But I will forever love her for her ambition and how she handled every situation true to her character. If Detective Kang did his job (properly) in the first place, he wouldn't have to question almost every little 'feeling' he had. ", @outofthisworld I see what you did there XD. Yeah, the ending did have big problems, like that fact that Myung-woo was in prison when Kevin was murdered so how come anyone would take his confession seriously? Myung-woo is right. Maybe she didn't like her mother due to her past (the creep MW killed), and she hated her mother? 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? Shes proven to be hurtful and deceptive the writers should have used these traits. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); When a popular anchorwoman finds herself the prime suspect of a murder case, her attorney husband becomes her legal counsel. !, Exactly how I feel right now! She would never back down on exposing her own husband. What I'm not really sure is if the husband ends up killing himself in that tunnel, it was kinda confusing that last part. I became so emotionally invested and I never regret it. 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-). 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. I would have liked to see another well adjusted character with a stable relationship that manages to have her career and also be there for her family in their critical hour and have good communication with her spouse. "Then do it properly!" Why did Tae Wook decide that suicide was the best were of protecting her when she didn't want him to go to jail? It all boils down to Tae Wook. I believe my exact words to you were falls on his sword. Okay, so he went into a tunnel instead, but same concept. The ending was a disappointment because she deserved better. 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. During the interview, Eun-joo insists that the contents of Hye-rans black box chip is evidence of Kevin Lees murder, but Tae-wook deleted them. In the end, she just became "Oprah" that should cater to what people want to see, and that she can make "magic" in her interviews. 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?? People are responsible for their actions, but actions also have consequences. *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*. Melancholia Season 2. WHAT? 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. This is a vicious cycle that goes on forever. I thought that was sorta. Kinda.. Coward way.? I don't think what Eun Joo told HMW on that day in the past is gossip. 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? For example TaewooK let Kevin get under skin and then he killed him. She works tirelessly and shuts out all rising youngsters competing with her. I wanted it to be such that their love could withstand anything. Dang what a disappointing end of an otherwise very good drama with strong characters and stellar casts. odilettante: Essentially, yes, although Hye-ran will undoubtedly have PTSD knowing that the men shes loved have either killed or died because of her. His manager? Go Hye Ran started the drama carrying a buried secret and ended it with (supposedly using the new show for revealing the truth) burying another. Meanwhile, Hye-ran hasnt budged from her seat at all, freaking out Jang and the rest of the team. Hye-ran was in her car, why was the brooch in Kevins? 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! SURPRISE! Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. 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. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 Popular anchorwoman Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) is extremely good at her job and wins all the media awards. // Load the SDK asynchronously Tags: Ahn Nae-sang, Ji Jin-hee, Kim Nam-joo, Misty, Your email address will not be published. Petty mistakes accumulating and snowballing out of control. Someone take Detective Kang's badge and give it to her instead. I belong to those people who wasn't this disappointed because of the ending. It was an ambitious and amazing show, but sometimes powerful endings are hard to create. It would have given Eun joo and the not too bright cop a little closure. We have so many unanswered questions and characters and backstories we could have delved deeper into. The writer chose to end things this way. there are a lot on instagram. Misty why???????? 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. She acted offended that her husband would believe she slept with Kevin and denied it, and the argument is he should have trusted her? I was disappointed with the last two episodes that eventually went against all that was so good about the show. Why Kevin felt he needed to be with her? To me the ending was perfect. blah(?) There could be miracles you know, there you have JBL, and Mother they were awesome until the end . Hye ran.. what can I say? She turns to the camera, and her eyes fill with tears as we hear Tae-wook asking, Hye-ran, are you happy?. odilettante: Which seems to be a point of this drama. Tell me about it. 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.. If it have ended with the couple holding hands on a vacation beach I would have been very angry. Nice job on the writers using actual mist in the end to make the title work. Any form of happy ending went out the door the moment Tae Wook confessed to the murder. But My Explanation To This Mess Is : After Park Ji Sang's death .. He deserved a better life more than anyone else. Kim Nam Joo and Ji Jin Hee were fantastic in their roles. Episodes: 16. 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? Her husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee) who is a prosecutor-turned-public defender, decides to defend her. Instead the ambiguous ending with the are you happy? was so . That would've worked, too.). The show took a psychological horror approach to The Mist and failed to include the horrific monsters from the . That said, it's definitely something where communication would have been key, while he was completely blindsided. Tae-wook chose to end things this way. He tells her that Yoon mightve been attacked after coming to the same conclusion as Detective Kang. The point is: I don't know why but most good shows are ruined by an end that disappoints you. That final scene when Kang Tae Wook said, "Are you happy?" And Hyeran was crying. Hye-ran is absolutely awesome, but she is no saint. 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. Not the moral equivalent of MW or even the widow's assault with a fork, could have happened literally to anyone playing in a park. Anyway, that being said, I did really like the drama. Let me climb atop a very large soap box to explain why. Some knetz even said that Tae Wook was in a self-driving car -- he never would've died. Which drama next? But that's just me. After that epic hug outside the museum too! He was confident of his love at first but as they grew further apart, he felt more pathetic. He is used as a Deus Ex Machina,so unreal Also, powerful women destroy men. I mean, KL died so pathetically. Eun Joo and the manager should have played a role in KLs death. But when she refuses to let things go, he breaks her protest sign and practically admits that he killed Dong-hyun. There are some things where her gender comes into play inevitably. If he had gone on the TV show and confessed, it would have ended Hye-ran, too. Hi there @Rigby @rigby2800! 5. Tae-wook loads Kevins body into the latters car and drives around, looking for a place to die together. It is not binary. About Hye Ran, not sure what to think. 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. Was it the ending what I wanted - no. But I guess its all about accepting peoples choices. Despite knowing Tae-wook was the murderer, I was worried that the reveal it would be sloppy and it wasnt so for that, I applaud them. I agree, and I am so glad someone else was as taken with the violin BGM as I was. The complexities of the plot structure and character development rival any classic novel. 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. But what happened to her telling Eun Joo "when all of this is done, you'll know I didn't do anything wrong"? Her actions have an effect on other people. 16 never happened. And in the desk beside hers, Dae-woong gets a tip from his source that Kevins murderer surrendered. It was counterintuitive for him to delete it. 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. Even the kindest person can turn into a cold-hearted person. Why did he decide to take the fall for TW? Or it turned out that Kevin Lee died in a car accident. An popular anchorwoman, Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) is suspected of murder. I found this article explanation quite fitting for the drama. (Also, I would've been dead.). She questions everything shes worked so hard for, wondering if Jang has regrets, too.
