When his father asks why, he admits its because he killed someone. Apparently I dropped Misty before this horrific incident. *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*.

In the present, Tae-wook closes his eyes as a tear falls. June 27, 2022. There still many other vampires .. Like the soldiers of the bad guy "I forgot his name" ..

Not only was the. It took me a while saying goodbye to this beautiful, beautiful drama. for you! He is used as a Deus Ex Machina,so unreal Also, powerful women destroy men. Queens of facial expressions. "Then do it properly!" I mean they showed how her attitude due to being close to TW was changing. Its nice to see you again!^^. We could have seen Hye ran stuggle with that decision. I wanted Tae Wook to be stronger, and Myung Woo was strong in the wrong, delusional way. If art is imitating life, then the ending for this drama is appropriate. Might as well just end it all rather than do that. October 7, 2022. FB.init({ "Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through.". :(. 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-). I also thought her mother would play a bigger role. I wanted it to be such that their love could withstand anything. All she did was connect the dots. The audience knows he didn't, the other characters know he didn't, the police officer knows he didn't. Initially, i did feel like that they should have shown us more. 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. Too rushed, with all of the plot points in the mist Kang Wook was driving into. thank you for the great recap, @mary and @odilettante ! "I hope we will get more of such badass female leads without all the tragedy involved!!" 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. Nice job on the writers using actual mist in the end to make the title work. You summed it up for me. 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. But then of course, if that happened, we would have Misty for the last three months with us. I find it most incredible that he wanted to depict unpretentious love. In this drama it was the same. Hoping Kim Nam Joo picks up another awesome character again soon! The dream happy ending for Kwon Hyun Joo and Yoon Jin was cut short.

In it, Myung-woo tells him to protect Hye-ran until the end as the punishment for his crimes. This drama is a Crime Suspense centering around a headstrong anchorwoman who becomes the suspect in a murder case. Hye Ran is an ambitious woman. I often read comments on different sites that Hye Ran is also responsible that the men in her life turned out this way. Would have wanted more flashbacks of Eun Joo with Hyeran and Myung Woo. Closing episode 12 with In-Hye's written letter was very cute and made the drama have a satisfying ending. odilettante: Tae-wooks greatest strength is his greatest weakness: he is a man of integrity who keeps his promises. odilettante: Apparently Im the only one who didnt mind the ending, but thats because I never really expected a true happy ending. It's not that I think the ending doesn't make sense or anything, I just really wanted for Hye Ran to be happy and achieve her dreams and maybe she'll still be able to but AT WHAT COST. Why they didn't talk to each other? His rebelling and starting a public defender practice resulted in nothing but court loss after court loss. 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. Anyway, if anything, I wont be camping outside your door with that "you made us watch this show" I'm going to jump on my feminist bandwagon here too. Required fields are marked *. for the politician) and bring down Hwanil Steel or Kang Yool/ Golden Club who in the new scenario, had possible links to KLs murder.

But these men, ugh. Those are two different things right? if (d.getElementById(id)) return; They were unnecessary, too, because for example Myung-woo could've simply been released from jail on the day Kevin died and thus this plot hole would have been removed. I enjoyed watching a drama that was adult-oriented, suspenseful, intriguing, fascinating and entertaining. I am also more against it if we add sexism to the mix and say that for women specifically choosing a career equals to making everyone around them miserable, themselves included. It stayed in me and I think the writer is saying, "My characters ended up in those ways because of their own decisions. Mi-ho and Jerry arrive at the fish industry and enter the premises without anxiety in the slightest as . By Srijoni Rudra. 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! I would also object to the "obsession" label. But really,are there NONE of such heroines who managed to lead a blissful,complete,no-regrets life after they achieved their goal??? Well you're not alone,cause the above conversation I copy pasted almost totally reminds me of EMPRESS KI!!! Hi @growingbeautifully! Much better ending imho. She sees an open letter on his desk and reads about Su Hyeon being alive. 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. Anyway, the upside is I discover another actress I would not miss when she shoot another drama! }); All the times Myung-woo refused to join Eun-joos blame-Hye-ran-for-everything party. Really Eun Soo is the victim?? [4] [5] It aired on JTBC 's Fridays and Saturdays at 23:00 ( KST) time slot from February 2 to March 24, 2018. An popular anchorwoman, Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) is suspected of murder. 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. The series marks Kim Nam-joo's small screen comeback after six years. How does her aborting the baby even justify any "karmic justice"? And the funny thing is they are mostly criticized by other women, whatever she does. She reveals that when she questioned Tae-wook with the growing pile of evidence, he admitted to killing Kevin Lee. *shudders*. 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. Even Hyeran got her character developed by considering Taewook in her decisions. But through the course of the show, she also learnt how to lean on Tae Wook. He had nothing left. Then the annoyance came back when detective stopped by to give Tae Wook one last nudge just before TW's drive to the interview. But mostly he vowed to support Hye-ran, which is why he accepted his punishment (as described by Myung-woo): to protect Hye-ran until the bitter end. I became so emotionally invested and I never regret it. Why they confused it with love? Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. For example TaewooK let Kevin get under skin and then he killed him. But Lee senses something wrong and insists on postponing the vacation. That's the show's thesis statement. Someone here asked what the Title Misty stood for ? SO SAD. ^-^ Mistys ending however, was so ??? Im so confused with what I was feeling after watching it. The drama is directed by Mao Wan-ri, written by Zhu Ren, Kim Nam-joo, Ji Jin-hee, Jeon Hye-jin, Qin Ji-zhou, Lee. 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. 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"-). If Detective Kang did his job (properly) in the first place, he wouldn't have to question almost every little 'feeling' he had. She got all that coming for her. ..neither happy nor sad. It didn't do anything. Haha you should just watch the end scene, when the titular character finally shows up: mist! All the corrupt people she can expose and the female anchors she can inspire and the gorgeous fashion they can wear, but at the price of one Tae-wook? You know, I watched that timer run out in episode 16 thinking, Shes wearing the same coat for how many days now? The show took a psychological horror approach to The Mist and failed to include the horrific monsters from the . Credits: Netflix. 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. Doesn't that highlight the hyeran-finally-loves-taewook-for-who-he-is not his connection not his title, just himself, out of jail, old. Sad for Nyang's fate after watching Empress Ki, I waxed poetic for 4 pages in my notebook to serve her some sort of justice(not kidding), so I wonder will I have to go down the same route if I watch this one too even after now knowing almost everything after following the recaps and comments. "mary: The final barrier being himself? Backstage, her stylist looks shocked after answering Hye-rans phone. So I understand the disappointment we're all feeling. Yes, you read me right - last four episodes. Tomorrow Season 1 ending explained: Heartbreak, recovery and a renewed purpose hinting at the next season; Tomorrow Season 1 ending explained: Heartbreak, recovery and a renewed purpose hinting at the next season K-drama Tomorrow came to an end after 16 episodes. I share the same thoughts and I couldn't have said it better myself. Missing 9. He crashes the car into a pole but ends up surviving, and decides to make it look like Kevin died in an accident. Tell me about it. Have we been watching the same 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. I found this article explanation quite fitting for the drama. You can't deny that her motivations were questionable though. He was obsessed with protecting GHR. Together. But you're right. This is not true vis a vis the drama, so there is no reason for this self-pithy and self-righteousness that thankfully the FL did not reach out for -it would have been a pathetic display, more embarassing than reading about it in the comments-. From the star cast filled with immense talent to an intriguing story, My Mister has everything. I wonder why the badass heroines who fight against the corrupt and go-against-the-trend always end up alone,and partially bitter,as if the price they had to pay for being awe inspiring public figures was getting a hole in the heart that can never be filled. K-Dramas are the best when it comes to powerful cast, plot , ost and more. Instead the ambiguous ending with the are you happy? was so . But they are consistent. It all boils down to Tae Wook. Sure, they left quite a few unanswered plot holes here and there but I'll forgive them for that. It's the kind of love which destroys because it wants to be perfect and unconditional when it is not. I recall back when I thought forced separation & reunion was a pretty innovative plot device. So what principles are we talking about here, exactly? Its obvious that he didnt want to share GHR with KL (which is justified), but it also ends with his possible suicide (the whole closing eyes, misty tunnel, fast driving) because he hated how GHR now perceived him as being imperfect. And what did they do? if (d.getElementById(id)) return; 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. 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". mary: It didnt feel to me like he was blaming her. When you are doing stuff like not being by your mother's deathbed to get an interview, stopping and thinking about whether you are on the right path and what you are doing is rational seems perfectly sane (maybe she hated her and it's ok, for example). And in the end, you open your hand, and there is nothing. The k-drama stars "My Wife's Having an Affair this Week" fame Lee Sun Kyung, "Hotel Del Luna" fame Lee Ji . I watched till episode 7, then i saw dal mi first kiss with that lier in rooftop. check out my post about the ending: I am of course against the "you can't have money/influence/be ambitious and have happy relationships", "money/power/ambition poison/corrupt everything and you will ruin everyone around your" stereotype, regardless of gender (and frankly, just due to the fact that only relatively recently we had works with powerful, uncompromising women, in the past most of this drivel had male characters as the "target"). He ends up killing himself? window.fbAsyncInit = function() { Thanks to you and the commenters here, I feel I am better off without watching the Mist/Fog/(over here it's Haze!!!) 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. The ending answered nothing. That's the definition of a tragedy. The ending didn't answer the Why. Suicide however is not what I expected Tae Wook to do - a man of such calibre. Wasn't expecting Kevin Lee to suddenly pop up.. The witer of the letter also asks him to find the "Adamas" to get Su Hyeon. I hope you enjoy them, at least so much as me. 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. I thought that was sorta. Kinda.. Coward way.? 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. 2. (I would not have minded an ending where he goes to jail and they patch up their marriage, though.
