Anyway, kudos to all d actors especially d 2 leads n her director on d newsroom cos in d end he was d 1 who appreciated her d most. Misty indeed, our pursue of happiness, the obssessive fight for something we dont even know how to get or how to name. Tae-wooks now included. Maybe. Dang what a disappointing end of an otherwise very good drama with strong characters and stellar casts. CONTINUED: It is like that after all. | Netflix. Misty: With Nam-ju Kim, Jin-hee Ji, Hye-jin Jeon, Tae-kyung Im. 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. The ending in particular I found depressing in a way the rest of the drama - however moody and dark - wasn't. 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'. She alone could see the figure in public spaces, leading to the idea that maybe she was hallucinating. This pisses off Zeus, who punishes Sisyphus. We've all enjoyed all those weeks of analysis and fun. <3. Her actions have an effect on other people. She would never back down on exposing her own husband. 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 ). The following morning, Eun-joo ignores Myung-woos warning and continues her one-woman protest outside the JBC building. Her husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee) who is a prosecutor-turned-public defender, decides to defend 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). This is different from MW killing someone, it's a perfectly reasonable confrontation that ended tragically due to a freak accident. Hope to see more of her soon. Like y'all said, it sounded sarcastic. I have no empathy for this guy. The finale of the Korean drama "Misty Mist" reveals who is the murderer behind the scenes. In it, Myung-woo tells him to protect Hye-ran until the end as the punishment for his crimes. This show left me BROKENHEARTED. Heehee I'm binge-reading the comments and all your snipes at Tae-wook's non-perfection and Kevin's weak skull are making me laugh >___<, hmm perhaps the drama should have been renamed "obsession" lol. odilettante: Apparently Im the only one who didnt mind the ending, but thats because I never really expected a true happy ending. I've concluded the mist is indeed in the producer's head. Kim Nam Joo and Ji Jin Hee were fantastic in their roles. The show took a psychological horror approach to The Mist and failed to include the horrific monsters from the . I better not tell you. I mean, I know but I didnt really, really understand. *It ran out of gas, got a flat tire, in the rain, stuck in the mud and youve lost a shoe, in a area with zero cellphone reception. or maybea murderer? He re-imagines the scene when he interrupted Hye-rans interrogation at the start of the series. Thanks @ mary and @ odilettante. She's the one who gave the important informations for the news, she was a great friend, she never doubted about the innocence of Hye Ran and I liked when she said that if Hye Ran had had wanted to kill him, it would not have been so messy :p And she was a good journalist, she followed the facts :), Regarding the "he's the only one who understands me," it's possible she was thinking that Tae-wook was miraculously trusting and devoted to her despite all the piling evidence that she committed adultery and/or had motive to kill Kevin Lee. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; The drama's message is clearly that she has the right to "go for it" and should be praised for it. 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. June 7, 2021. 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). Have we been watching the same drama? But then, Ive never regretted watching this drama and discovering Kim Nam Joo here. I agree.Despite our hopes,if such a thing would happen it'd be unrealistic. And all the others people have brought up. You sop right Mary!!!!!! Shes proven to be hurtful and deceptive the writers should have used these traits. *Myung Woo was such an underdeveloped character*. Yong Yee. I disagree: skipping her mother's funeral was objectionable no matter her gender. The people's hero Woo Do-hwan is MBC's Joseon Lawyer, First look at Kim Seo-hyung in ENA's Paper Moon. His manager? I really thought that I was prepared when I saw the ending coming but hell no.haha. , "That was the story I signed up for, not a poorly written whodunnit and dont even get me started on the plotholes, horrendous investigation and legal drama.". }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Please enter your username or email address. She is strong, ambitious and vulnerable, but at the same time she is cold, manipulative and immensely hypocritical. How often will she be linked to this murders now, without someone on her side who helps her through this mess? How does her aborting the baby even justify any "karmic justice"? I thought that was sorta. Kinda.. Coward way.? Which drama next? It is unfortunate that Misty is one of those dramas which ending negated everything. Meanwhile, Myung-woo meets Eun-joo to talk her out of her misguided hate. now that I think about it I don't know what the drama wanted to convey to its viewers .i feel the writers just wanted to bring a twist to the narrative and do something surprising . Bring back the old Hye Ran! But episode 15 changed for me. Is it so hard to portray a powerful woman? I don't even really like steak, but **shudder** that is criminal. Eun Joo and the manager should have played a role in KLs death. Ji Won was the one actually sleeping with him but nobody seemed to care about that. or You will receive a link to create a new password via email. I mean why couldn't he hv just taken responsibility 4 his actio s instead allowing MW to do dat? When the writers said the ending was going to be unexpected. But that's not a general statement about one's decision to focus on their career. Thanks to you and the commenters here, I feel I am better off without watching the Mist/Fog/(over here it's Haze!!!) mary: The final barrier being himself? I was expecting they go all the way to taewook going to jail then time jump to several years later and he will be reunited with retired and successful hyeran and spend the rest of their old days togethet a la seven day queen, ya know?!! I understand why he thinks he does, but if I'd been there in the car I'd be screaming YOU'RE WROOOOOOOOONG at him. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, .but nothing really happened in the last two episodes.There were too many monologues and everything slowed down. I recall back when I thought forced separation & reunion was a pretty innovative plot device. Pedro Pascal Swerves a Smooch from Helen Mirren on 'The Graham Norton Show' New Shows & Movies To Watch This Weekend: 'Party Down' on Starz + More ^-^ Mistys ending however, was so ??? The whole episode building up to the not-so-big reveal was properly executed. It's the kind of love which destroys because it wants to be perfect and unconditional when it is not. I belong to those people who wasn't this disappointed because of the ending. That is what I too am saying. Why was the black box chip in Kevin Lees coat? Im not asking to be spoon-fed, but I want to know what I just ate. 3. Maybe with a new and smarter detective. If the point is "you shouldn't equate ambition with a miserable life" and "it's not a binary choice, you can have both" then I must say I would also have liked another well adjusted female character that was both successful and could have good communication with her spouse and not neglect their mother/relatives in the crucial hour (I must say that to throw back a phrase she said, her audition for anchorwoman might come only once -not sure if true-, but it is certain that her own mother would die only once as well, and it's not about it happening anyway, it's about her feelings as she goes not too confident on it as I don't recall whether they hated each other). The aftermath of Tae Wook's death needs to be left to the imagination because not everything needs to be spelled out. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. The only constant in her life. 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. In fact in the end he managed to actually get her to love him (maybe she always did, and was in denial because of her mother's history), and everything was ok (could have been okay much earlier had they chosen to communicate and tell the truth), or would have been had it not been for a freak accident (the guy did not try to kill or even beat up KL, he gave him a push as thousands of people do every day playing sports, etc., and the golfer died for a freak accident. Btw, I am still in the middle of The Good Wife (I know, so late), but I was loving all the familiar faces. Tae Wok was honest, fair and firm in his life and love but. ooppss he had a dark side.. Director Jang mobilizes the News Nine team to cover this breaking news. I can't get over Tae Wook commiting suicide, but alas, he already showed obsessive, dangerous traits from episode 1, so I guess we cannot complain about him doing extreme things, we were warned. 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?? He was her trophy husband and she his trail blazing wife. He didn't want his boss found out. The drama ended perfectly and diluting it with the details of unaswered situations/people would reduce the impact of the ending. Someone take Detective Kang's badge and give it to her instead. mary: Yes, someone even described it as Hye-ran being like the embodiment of Spring. Haha you should just watch the end scene, when the titular character finally shows up: mist! That's true.She was gonna reveal him on the show at that time that's why he was supposed to be a guest. I always knew that Kang or Ra El would die, I felt that this drama was going to have a tragic ending. I'd have loved to see them dating! 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). Like the News Nine party and that look Kwak gives Ji-won when she saves him from drinking. But when we talk about Kdramas with the best endings there are so many drama series that will come in to our mind. 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. She did not want the truth she wanted blood and she purposely withheld information about the night her husband died including the fact that he was sleeping with another woman. So it's not entirely implausible. It was lust, struggle for dominance and deceit masqueraded as passion. They would have wanted to know how long she knew and how much she covered up. Park Hae-young is an exceptional writer. Writer: Je-In. That night, Tae-wook comes home to an empty house while Hye-ran treats the News Nine team to drinks. 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. And what did they do? Thanks for pointing out @growingbeautifully and thank you for those beautiful flowers just like you. hello @pastmidnite @growingbeautifully @giegie good to see you all again. But it made me with we also had a well adjusted career woman with a happy family life, because it is possible, ti happens in reality (even in the kdrama her husband was supportive of her career, what they needed was communication and truth), and it would have shown that this is not a binary choice between family and success: you can aim high and be happy. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; this actually had me cracking up. Misty, no black or white. 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? }; 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. But I guess its all about accepting peoples choices. No way would she have come out of it a hero. But I understand why the ending was that way. also thank you @mary and @odilettante for giving us a place to come together and yell about our feelings! 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. What would a rare female lead character like Go Hye-Ran wear next? I imagine Ji-wons glass is now stored in his office drawer too. He was confident of his love at first but as they grew further apart, he felt more pathetic. mary: Misty didn't manage to beat Woman of Dignity in ratings, but what it lacked in finale numbers it made up for in staying power? If he'd actually investigated this well from the beginning, none of this would have happened. Someone here asked what the Title Misty stood for ? YES YOU SHOULDVE. I was beyond angry, that there was finally the intelligent, driven, amazing but still flawed female character I had been waiting for, and in 15 minutes time, the writer turned her into someone who would turn away from all of her principles, let an innocent man pay for a crime that he didn't commit, just to be with the man she now lurrvvved. sense. I also thought her mother would play a bigger role. Tae Wook may have been sexy AF, but wow, dude, no. 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. 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. Women can be so cruel towards each other. We all made our own choices. Lets talk about the happy stuff! It is not binary. So was blackmailing a colleague and capitalizing on her friend being betrayed (though Ji-won should have gotten the brunt of this). 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? Look at the trail of destruction you have left behind in your pursuit. 2. I'm not disapointed by the end because it was clear from pretty soon that it will be not a happy ending. 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. Hye-ran hurries home and finds proof that Tae-wook purchased duplicates of the coat and shoes he was wearing the night Kevin Lee died. The cast members are really doing their best to tell the real story and feelings as sincerely as possible," the producer said. He was obsessed with protecting GHR. Thank you @mary and @odilettante for the recap. Hye ran would have been ruined, but the true story would have gotten out. I didn't like that this show about a powerful woman refusing to disappear just because she aged became in the end about how a woman can have success but only if she destroys every man she meets. 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. 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. And men admired her strong personality, she was deemed worthy. 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. If Detective Kang doesn't meet Tae-wook in that morning to say those lines, would Tae-wook's ending be different? I believe my exact words to you were falls on his sword. Okay, so he went into a tunnel instead, but same concept. 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. Queens of facial expressions. Sad. In the present, Tae-wook closes his eyes as a tear falls. Instead, I would camp on that tunnel where our gorgeous Tae Wook died with candles and flowers saying "bye bye love". abstract. 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. That would've worked, too.). Myung Woo's self-sacrifice continued his love and protector role for Hye Ran. I will be the last person who says that Hye Ran was perfect and without any faults. But he didn't understand her ambition and didn't accept it very well or too late. You didnt make me kill anyone. She got all that coming for her. Tae Wook I shouldnt have trusted you the moment you microwaved that steak. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page That said, she had unique challenges: being switched around for someone younger and more beautiful is not something that would have happened to a man, and her becoming a house-wife is certainly not an expectation people would have towards a man, but centrally, it is also not something that people ask of him -besides the scum lawyer-, it's not something her husband wants and she is *generally* admired for breaking the mold and opening the way (the exception being the corrupt prosecutor's wife, who is also clearly depicted on the "villain's side" one of the reasons I would have liked for them to also introduce a well adjusted female character with a career and a healthy home life -good communication about big life decisions, being there for their parents when they are on their death bed, I wouldn't ask for a kid, but wouldn't object if they had one-, to point out that this is not a dichotomy, a binary choice). "Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through.". Netflix has not confirmed whether or not Twenty Five Twenty One will be renewed for a Season 2. 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. Lee Ji-eun as Lee Ji-an without the IU's halo (Photo Credit: NewOnNetflix) My Mister (sometimes titled My Ajusshi and in Hangul) has been on my Netflix feed for the longest time. It seems like nothing really much happened plot-wise in Ep 15 and 16. See how shitty that sounds? I needed to sort out my thoughts after that *sobs* ending. Totally agree about recommending this show. ..neither happy nor sad. 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. In general, I agree with her particular challenges, but don't like the self-righteous/self-pitying tone, which I find both pathetic and frankly paternalistic/patronizing. Quick! Part 1: a full plot recap. I have to admit that the still shot of the leading actress (as shown in the picture above) is not too convincing . that I had to sit down and type out a ranty comment on word. If it wasnt for the ending I would have recommended Misty (plot holes and all) to everyone. 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.
