misty kdrama ending explained
I don't think that "you can't have a career and a happy family life" was the goal of the show, though I agree that this is kinda of the vibe, and I would have liked another well adjusted female character with a great career and nice family life (even without asking for someone with a kid or who was there for her mother's funeral, I would settle for good communication with their partner about major life decisions/issues). I needed to sort out my thoughts after that *sobs* ending. This. Misty - Obscured or clouded by or as if by mist. .but this will at least reduce his sentence right? The story, the cast, everything about it was amazing. 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"-). I can't help but think that the police guy, if a little more competent wouldn't have dragged everyone in this mess or if he was so incompetent they should have just closed the case as an accident. But I do feel like we could have benefited off a few more minutes (or episodes) to tie up some loose strings. He never blamed her and no one should blame another person for their choices in life. However, he learn nothing in those long years in prison. I was trying very hard to understand why TW chose suicide, because that end to his character left so much more to be desired. Rambling thoughts (my apologies): They voluntarily fall like flies - the men who surround a femme fatale. She got all that coming for her. This drama has always felt kind of like a modern-day sageuk to me, so the fact that anyone was still alive in the end was the unexpected part. Misty final episode explanation? But they are consistent. odilettante: Apparently Im the only one who didnt mind the ending, but thats because I never really expected a true happy ending. 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. If the edges had been smoothed out more, I would have recommended this drama to everyone and their mothers in a heartbeat. It's a basic function of humans. That would be one justification. Sad. I'm curious to know if MW took the fall for TW knowing that the latter will eventually choose to remove himself from HR's life (taking odilettante's explanation of TW's suicide) or once news of TW's death reaches MW, I'd imagine he'd be trying to break out of prison to 'protect HR'. What was that ending? 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. Yes, there are saints out there, but many of us (if not most), when held at gun point, are naturally self-serving. But Lee senses something wrong and insists on postponing the vacation. After Chairman Kwon Jae Kyu's death, the golden keys to the kingdom didn't go to the murdering son Kwon Hyun Joo. As for regrets, news is always first in his mind. I particularly liked your idea of life being about everyone driving into the mist. Hye-ran is devastated to now know the truth, and wishes Tae-wook had just killed her when he learned about the affair. In the end, she was blamed for the choices of the men that loved her and for their obsession of her. He tells her that people cant really pinpoint the exact thing thats wrong in their lives theyre all just trying to survive each day. I haven't watched ep 16 (yet?). This is frankly not a matter of opinion, it's just factual. He could have chosen her by staying alive but he choose himself again and she has to live with it. I don't even really like steak, but **shudder** that is criminal. But the last episode sigh! Nevertheless, Misty still holds a special place in my heart. 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. That was important. Or was that just a masterful Tae-wook bluff? So many bad things had happen and NONE of them deserved it. It's the kind of love which destroys because it wants to be perfect and unconditional when it is not. This is different from MW killing someone, it's a perfectly reasonable confrontation that ended tragically due to a freak accident. 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. October 7, 2022. 2. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. However like a lot of people, I was quite dissatisfied with the ending and found the two hour finale overly-long and self-indulgent. 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). Haha you should just watch the end scene, when the titular character finally shows up: mist! All the lead up caused the suspense of KLs death to fizzle and then ep 16 was very limp. HMW was a totally unnecessary character to be used as a joker,the way he was portrayed; the worst plothole. 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? Ha Myung-woo. But not before repeating that Hye-ran is at fault for ruining everyones lives. 12 - Shock) witness: \"the suspect is a man\" ! He was confident of his love at first but as they grew further apart, he felt more pathetic. I dont know why writers are so preoccupied with having a killer twist or unexpected ending. I wanted Tae Wook to be stronger, and Myung Woo was strong in the wrong, delusional way. The lack of communication between Hye Ran and Tae Wook is unreal. Misty was a beautifully done drama for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed the 16 episodes train ride, despite the train chose to head into a misty filled tunnel at the end. Part of the actions of these women affect other women (I feel that the sociopathic disregard is more on Ji-won's side, but I don't see much inter-sex solidarity for the widow with the scummy husband, depicting "famous women" going after the philanderer with a pregnant wife and a pregnant wife and a violent/abusive/non consensual/obsessive streak does not say much about the self respect). See how shitty that sounds? Too many dramas have terrible endings. Lolol! I know right! Personally, I loved it because, for a moment, I loved Misty almost as much as I did when it first started. No, ambition is not the problem, you can have it all. odilettante: I feel a little self-congratulatory because I knew over a week ago theres no way Tae-wook would be able to live with the guilt of killing Kevin and letting Hye-ran go through the farce of being blamed for it. Hes not sure if his dream is Hye-ran, or merely to appear perfect to her. Maybe he cant fix the past, but he can do his best to remove the final barrier to Hye-rans happiness. But I will forever love her for her ambition and how she handled every situation true to her character. SO TRAGIC. 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. This character clearly was not the female lead, and that's okay as far as her characterization is concerned). In this drama it was the same. The following morning, Eun-joo ignores Myung-woos warning and continues her one-woman protest outside the JBC building. Tae-wook shows Hye-ran the letter and she wordlessly locks herself up in her room, crying at how messed up everything is. This drama came at a time when I was facing issues at work and Hye Ran was an inspiration (along with that epic theme music). The feelings! js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Always reading the comments but never typing any. And Hye-rans obvious efforts to appease Kevin means she wants to handle the affair quietly. 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. honestly myung-woo bothers me the most and I am annoyed at myself for liking him at the beginning his behaviour is obsessive (he attacked reporter Yoon too right?really why did they just drop that ?Yoon was used as a device in those last episodes ). 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? It didnt answer why all these men were obsessed with her? if (d.getElementById(id)) return; 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. He banged his head on the wall and died despite being an athlete? Network: JTBC. Why Taewook didn't talk to her? KL's widow blamed her, and while I don't buy that, I also don't buy the "it's not anyone's fault". Misty indeed, our pursue of happiness, the obssessive fight for something we dont even know how to get or how to name. @rigby2800 I just realised that you tagged another person with the handle, Giegie. She really was a role madel. Why was the story similar to the fake witnesses? Connect with Facebook Tae Wook's love for Hye Ran looks noble but is far from desirable. The expectations were reasonable (he did not object to her career, on the merit of the abortion he might have been right or wrong, but it was not his decision as ultimately it's her body and her choice, but it's something they should have talked about, while regarding the cheating she knew he was given the given the brooch, and again they did not discuss the topic -she denied the affair, lying to him, rather than telling him the truth, namely that she was coerced and blackmailed, and that she lied to Kevin Lee about her loving him and only "needing" her husband-. 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). How did Kang Yool know, or did they randomly guess it? If Detective Kang did his job (properly) in the first place, he wouldn't have to question almost every little 'feeling' he had. Of course people wouldn't believe her! SO SAD. Their whole marriage can be best described as a charade. Then everything started with you and your petty gossip. there are a lot on instagram.

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 . I don't think what Eun Joo told HMW on that day in the past is gossip. And I was sad that Myung Woo will once again, be sent to prison. I feel like in the premise of keeping everything "unexpected" and "poignant" the show just abandoned all its lead up. They had Tae Wook asking Hye Ran in the voiceover So, are you happy? We all made our own choices. It was gorgeous and fit the mood of the show so well. Haha. I guess its because the show thought Ji Jin Hee looked the best as the strong, silent and angsty type. I was actually confused after I first saw the episode whether he died or not.

How often will she be linked to this murders now, without someone on her side who helps her through this mess? But it depends, of course on each viewer, who brings along a different experience. If it wasnt for the ending I would have recommended Misty (plot holes and all) to everyone. 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. The violin BGM was stunning, it kept up the pace and suspense and all the OSTs along with the gorgeous directing/ cinematography and sleek outfits added layers to the drama..
