I never felt their sincere love even if they had some passionate moments. TWs micro-acting with his eyes. 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.

That is the only satisfying thing from the last four episodes. Hate it? Or accused her of hiding it until she could use it to boost her show's ratings and get more attention for herself. I dont know why writers are so preoccupied with having a killer twist or unexpected ending. Well, the verdict is out Misty isnt that rare drama. I became so emotionally invested and I never regret it. // Load the SDK asynchronously (function(d, s, id) { What the ending does provides us is that TW is *selfish* unlike his upright, uptight portrayal initially. 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! Hes here to say goodbye to them too, since he wont be able to visit them where hes going. As such, I found the last episodes frustrating, watching time tick down to a finale that I knew wasn't going to contain resolution to the plotlines I cared about. really?'. On the child issue, it's not about being wrong or right, but, as his wife said, about having different expectations. He's obsessed with Hye Ran and let's not mistake it for love in any way. Her husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee) who is a prosecutor-turned-public defender, decides to defend her. When I say I like the ending, I mean I like it thematically. I wanted it to be such that their love could withstand anything. None of the men blamed her for their choices (with the exception of Kevin Lee). Tae-wook wonders about his dream, too, as he drives to the station. 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. She was no longer hungry for success, she even passed on News Nine to Ji Won. 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! The show did not even explain how possible it is for someone inside prison to order someone murder. I guess it was better if Eun-Joo or anyone besides Tae Wook was revelead to be the real killer. The decent thing to do was to at least let him know about the abortion plan first.

I wish Manager Lee kicked detective out of their office to boot but Manager Lee yelling at the detective was soooo satisfying at the moment. But Im glad they spared us extra doses of Kangs shoddy sleuthing to give us more satisfying scenes. I've seen many a k-drama and Misty is now the best drama I have seen in my 8-year k-drama life . So was blackmailing a colleague and capitalizing on her friend being betrayed (though Ji-won should have gotten the brunt of this). No Someone take Detective Kang's badge and give it to her instead. Suicide however is not what I expected Tae Wook to do - a man of such calibre. Misty is one of my fave drama now and yeah even it has the foggiest ending, I am still glad I have watched it. I actually think that this is a pretty common trope (the husband being too focused on career but abysmal love life with the wife cheating maybe Suspicious Partner?). Yes, I agree. I would have really liked to see a well adjusted, successful and happy female character in this movie. Nobody forced me to watch this drama. 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. mary: I feel so bad for her.

Petty mistakes accumulating and snowballing out of control. Spoilers Ahead Misty was a fun ride until the end, where it ran out of gas* and the writers just threw together a mess. I loved some parts of the character, hated others and didn't understand part of her motivations. It was only very recent that she realized she has real feelings for Tae Wook. But then of course, if that happened, we would have Misty for the last three months with us. 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. Black's ending was that it created too many. I enjoyed watching a drama that was adult-oriented, suspenseful, intriguing, fascinating and entertaining.

There was obsession and lust, but no love. *shudders*. The only scene of this that really resonated with me was when Office Manager Lee let loose on the worst cop in Seoul. Hi @growingbeautifully! That said, it's definitely something where communication would have been key, while he was completely blindsided. Here I feel that the issue shouldn't have been on the merits of the decision, but on the fact that they did not talk about it at all (he was running around like a clueless idiot, buying her a jewel, completely unaware of what she was planning to do, it was clear they did not talk about such a major life decision-he was not only disappointed, but completely blindsided-). one last thing I'd like to add: Officer Kang is truly THE worst. }; Is it karmic justice for her aborting the baby without asking him? Seems only Money Flower had a satisfying ending recently from the shows I've seen.

I dislike the opposite message in movies like the Christmas favorite "A beautiful life" (partially also Hometown cha-cha-cha which I loved, where the ML's reason for self-exile were ridiculous: the guy did not even do anything wrong and "greed"/"ambition" were blamed, when, as sorry as I found his story, the guy in the hospital is the one at fault for messing up despite warning and then not listening to follow up advice). And he could kill her too if it comes to that. Are we to hope that he didn't end up killing innocent people in the process of his stupidity? odilettante: Which seems to be a point of this drama. There was no love, you can't love without communication because they never communicated. I think it was my favorite character at the end. I have to admit that the still shot of the leading actress (as shown in the picture above) is not too convincing . Outsmarted by his wife, Eun Hye Soo who not only used the assassin Yoon Sun to render him paralyzed. But through the course of the show, she also learnt how to lean on Tae Wook. Seo Hee was supposed to be interviewed by Woo Sin for the book, but he disappeared. And in the desk beside hers, Dae-woong gets a tip from his source that Kevins murderer surrendered. Thanks again to @mary and @odilettante for all the amazing discussions here you've both started. 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. Tragedies end tragically. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. Bring back the old Hye Ran! Some knetz even said that Tae Wook was in a self-driving car -- he never would've died. I know right! His name? This. It took me a while saying goodbye to this beautiful, beautiful drama. *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*. I cannot complain. He tells her that Yoon mightve been attacked after coming to the same conclusion as Detective Kang.

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. Misty indeed, our pursue of happiness, the obssessive fight for something we dont even know how to get or how to name. 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. I reeeally enjoyed Manaer Lee yelling at Incompetent Detective Kang ! They dont notice Myung-woo watching them talk. My interpretation was that the title of the drama was misty, because you can see Hye Ran, getting super misty eyes at the end of the show. Might as well just end it all rather than do that. But I will forever love her for her ambition and how she handled every situation true to her character. mary: Noooo I forgot about that for thirty seconds. An unforgettable melodrama. This highly anticipated drama disappointed viewers by becoming confusing halfway through the show and sealing it with an ending that left viewers with more questions than answers. Always reading the comments but never typing any. 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). Whatever. In my opinion, if the show was just two episodes longer, they definitely could have incorporated/explained/explored further those un-answered questions. 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. Haha. But episode 15 changed for me. Not only was the. There were all these actions and consequences. In the end, this was a show tried too hard. Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. I did hate the ending but it's bittersweet hate. 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. Tae-wook drops by his parents house in the morning after waiting up all night for Hye-ran. Nevertheless, Misty still holds a special place in my heart. YES YOU SHOULDVE. No, it is not wrong to "want it all", and I would have liked to have a well adjusted female character with a nice career and a nice family showing that it's not a binary choice. I sure hope Misty is that one rare drama.. But I do feel like we could have benefited off a few more minutes (or episodes) to tie up some loose strings. Then everything started with you and your petty gossip. 12 - Shock) witness: \"the suspect is a man\" ! But she "Yoo Ri Ta" sees him as Park Ji Sang .. From the star cast filled with immense talent to an intriguing story, My Mister has everything. I was trying very hard to understand why TW chose suicide, because that end to his character left so much more to be desired. Stop hating and just live your life.. He had spent 19 years in prison, over half of his life so what difference does it make if prison continued being his life. I would also not put MW and TW's actions on the same level. After that epic hug outside the museum too! I was actually confused after I first saw the episode whether he died or not. 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. Haha you should just watch the end scene, when the titular character finally shows up: mist! TW should have got into a mere fight with KL in his car, which is why the brooch was found there- it fell by accident. Just gonna repeat here what I said about the ending: Didn't you know? I don't know what to think about the finale. But the last episode sigh! We could have seen Hye ran stuggle with that decision. His manager? So I understand the disappointment we're all feeling. Tae-wook is touched that Hye-ran is considering delaying or covering up the truth for him, but its just a pipe dream for them. I will pretend that the final never happen and Misty is the best drama of the year. It is like that after all. But I'm having fun with variety shows! As Hye-ran prepares for the interview, she thinks about her dream of happiness and believing it was something she could achieve. SURPRISE! Since none of this was clear for me, it is difficult to assess the final situation and empathise with her feelings. Ha Myung Woo's sacrifice didn't make sense and was all for nothing because of the last 10 mins. But that's just me. Things I did like were: Eun Joos and GHRs portrayal. Tae Wook may have been sexy AF, but wow, dude, no. Years of neglect, burning with jealousy must have fried his brains and short-circuited his tongue. I am super disappointed. Anyway, the upside is I discover another actress I would not miss when she shoot another drama! Yes, you read me right - last four episodes. Thanks to Mary and Odilettante for starting this thread. Everything else pointed to a man who was a coward and self-absorbed. Suspicious Partners, Stranger (fist season, the antagonist). 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. 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. I confess to being in a drama slump and not watching much of anything except Drama Specials and not everyday. When shes wearing the same outfit more than once, you know something serious and emotional is going on. Frankly, I would have liked the opposite from this drama, not from the female lead, who after all had her own dramatic flaws and was meant to be depicted as such (and was by no mean the only one -see the prosecutor who was used for power, etc.-). 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. She confronts Eun-joo for being the last person to talk to Yoon, but Eun-joo turns it around on Hye-ran by revealing that Yoon met with Tae-wook before being mugged. All for spiteful hate.

What will happen when her public defender husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee), decides to defend her and save their failing marriage? Meanwhile , Ji won and reporter Kwak could have pressed on with their fight against the evil powers. All she did was connect the dots. If they leave you, you will end up all alone, sad, depressed, hopeless and even suicidal. 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-). 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 was just implausible that Myung-woo committed the murder. Eun-joo sees how tortured Hye-ran is at the increasing evidence of Tae-wooks guilt, and she ends her protest, having achieved her goal of making Hye-ran miserable. He was also selfish in that GHR was denied the chance to present the news about TW being the murder- her want to create a just society. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; June 27, 2022.

Tae-wook shows Hye-ran the letter and she wordlessly locks herself up in her room, crying at how messed up everything is. He was planning to turn himself in after the vacation with Hye-ran. The writer chose to end things this way. Aside from trying to figure out who murdered Kevin Lee, the fashion of sense of Go Hye-Ran was not to be missed. 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). Even if it's her body and it's her right, they were married with a bit of affection on both sides. It's a basic function of humans. Thank you for the article. "In the end, she was blamed for the choices of the men that loved her and for their obsession of her". But what happened to her telling Eun Joo "when all of this is done, you'll know I didn't do anything wrong"? The final episodes of the drama start with Do-ha and Chang-ho fighting for the mayor's place. I'm not disapointed by the end because it was clear from pretty soon that it will be not a happy ending. They wanted to use Foggy, but who would've want to watch a drama called Foggy? Don't ever do the same." Of course I was sad that we got a bittersweet ending. That's the definition of a tragedy.

It was lust, struggle for dominance and deceit masqueraded as passion. It's not exactly disappointingkinda expected that when TW confessed. !, Exactly how I feel right now!

"Glitch" is about Hong Ji-hyo, a timid 30-year-old woman who is troubled when she comes across an alien figure and decides to get to the bottom of the mystery. 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"). And if that's the case, what happens to the person he asked who actually did the deed? He didn't want his boss found out.

So disappointing. Tae Wook HOW COULD YOU`? Regrading the conflict between career and love, there are tons of works dealing with this (I think a Tom Hanks movie where we was a famous lawyer that relieved his life and chose poverty and love over money, plus tons of others like Stranger season 1/Suspicious Partners/Forecasting Love and Weather/etc., for that matter I would say Lee Byung-hun's "A single rider" is in this vein, the general theme being that greed corrupts the person and destroys everyone around them). He is used as a Deus Ex Machina,so unreal Also, powerful women destroy men. I don't know if the writer wants, but I am very certain that I do want a second season.
