The writer chose to end things this way. There are many dramas which dont end as well as they start. The drama's message is clearly that she has the right to "go for it" and should be praised for it. I have no empathy for this guy. I had been increasingly bothered by the overly dramatic focus on the actors face staring silently, TW putting on his shirt, Hye Ran striding majestically in her pantsuits and always accompanied by more dramatic music. You summed it up for me. FB.init({ Maybe well never know what they truly are. 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.. Nice job on the writers using actual mist in the end to make the title work. When the writers said the ending was going to be unexpected. To me the ending was perfect. Him taking the fall for it didnt make sense to me because he was still in prison then and unless he hires someone else to take fall as the assassin, Im finding it hard to believe how hed prosecuted but then again, Detective Kang was such an absolute idiot smi wouldnt be surprised. 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). Tae-wooks now included. Poor scripts undermined the romance between Han Tae-sool and Kang Seo-hae, major characters disappeared without explanation, and the coda is just lazy Korean drama reviews + FOLLOW mary: Noooo I forgot about that for thirty seconds. But what happened to her telling Eun Joo "when all of this is done, you'll know I didn't do anything wrong"? . His rebelling and starting a public defender practice resulted in nothing but court loss after court loss. 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 haven't watched ep 16 (yet?). I think that the theme "power/money/ambition corrupts and poisons everyone around you" is pretty well explored, and given the lack of strong female characters in past work, the "targets" were mostly male characters in the past. Required fields are marked *. She never asked Myung-woo or Tae-wook to kill for her, they just did so without anyone understanding how unhappy she was. for the politician) and bring down Hwanil Steel or Kang Yool/ Golden Club who in the new scenario, had possible links to KLs murder. When his father asks why, he admits its because he killed someone. I need her clothes and bags. 16 never happened. mary: It didnt feel to me like he was blaming her. Can you tell Im slightly bitter? As much as Im in love with her character, we also have to be honest here, she did let a person go to jail without even confessing she was involved and maybe lessen his sentence with the circumstances. If he had gone on the TV show and confessed, it would have ended Hye-ran, too. Detective Kang grabs Myung-woo in anger, demanding to know why hes choosing to throw away the rest of his life. Once again the man she loved chose to go hero and leave her all alone. I thought they were gonna reveal it during the interview too, that's why Hye-ran seemed a bit melancholic backstage. Tell me about it. this actually had me cracking up. Misty, no black or white. Or better, I hope you enjoy them more!! Then the annoyance came back when detective stopped by to give Tae Wook one last nudge just before TW's drive to the interview. 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"-). And here I am,mostly accepting and sorta ok with that instead being upset, cause that whole thing seems realistic. I wanted Tae Wook to be stronger, and Myung Woo was strong in the wrong, delusional way. It was fitting that Tae-wook was the killer (NOT murderer - that was obviously a manslaughter, not murder) and that Myung-woo took the fall. Hye Ran is an ambitious woman. As all the dirty dealings surrounding Kevins murder would have been exposed. . So I am kind of even more upset at the ending after reading this recap because I didn't hear the Tae Wook car crash at the end?! 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. Hye-ran thinks to herself that people who live a crazy life are chasing things that cant be caught. Someone asks if shes happy, and Hye-ran hesitates, unable to respond. On the bright side, I at least got the satisfaction of him not getting his way. The person I ended up disliking - to my surprise - is Eun Soo (after all, she was the victim), and Ki Joon was that character who rubbed me the wrong way even if he was onto something that turned out to be the truth. mary: The final barrier being himself? 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. What the ending does provides us is that TW is *selfish* unlike his upright, uptight portrayal initially. 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? GHRs expert reporting skills should have been used for a greater purpose. Misty, the brand new K-drama with a suspenseful story of passion and crime, intrigued us as soon as we heard about the top-star billing of Kim Nam Joo and Ji. I must be watching a different drama. I better not tell you. Then everything started with you and your petty gossip. Maybe with a new and smarter detective. The former committed murder, while the latter had a confrontation that, with the right adjustments, could have very well happened even had she told him the truth about the coercion/blackmail. blah(?) I was actually confused after I first saw the episode whether he died or not. He vowed that he would make Hye-ran fall in love with him, and she did unfortunately a little too late. 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. but I totally missed the car crash sound and woowwwwwwww, I should've had my coffee before reading this recap. It's as if the detective did not hear a single word Manager Lee said to him. It wouldn't have been a 'tragedy' if there was any possibility that he might've actually done it. Btw, I am still in the middle of The Good Wife (I know, so late), but I was loving all the familiar faces. Her husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee) who is a prosecutor-turned-public defender, decides to defend her. My Mister Ending. Enjoyed reading you! Look at the trail of destruction you have left behind in your pursuit. In fact, I may have already plotted one out in my head and will be happy to share my ideas with JTBC provided they give me full access to Hye-rans closet. She has done it before plus now she is in love with her husband which gives her more motive. 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. Since none of this was clear for me, it is difficult to assess the final situation and empathise with her feelings. Even the most righteous characters have their dark shady sides. If your happiness is in someone elses hands youre rooting for conditional happiness. No way would she have come out of it a hero. Black's ending was that it created too many. The finale episode 16 of the popular thriller Korean drama Big Mouth aired yesterday, know the ending explained and if Miho dies in the end here. And who was Kevin planning to meet that night? I have been waiting to know if the whole show was so amazing as it had been said, right until the end, so that I can binge it later, but now I think I won't do it. SO SAD. Is this sarcasm like Are you happy you make me kill Kevin and make me kill myself? Or is this the drama selling misplaced emotion as ultimate love Are you happy I sacrificed myself so that you can remain spotless?. Jane Maxsom Oct 06 2022 2:34 pm My Mister is a brilliant drama worthy of intense study in any film or literature class. I mean they showed how her attitude due to being close to TW was changing. I actually wonder if he decides to commit suicide rather than appear on her show knowing she would expose the truth thereby ruining her career so it was his last attempt to protect her? I recall back when I thought forced separation & reunion was a pretty innovative plot device. 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-. 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. I dont really know what they were trying to impart with us at the end. It seems like nothing really much happened plot-wise in Ep 15 and 16. She pretends not to have seen the traffic violation letter while Tae-wook pretends not to notice that shes already seen it. She really was a role madel. Min stops walking and gently entwines his fingers with hers as all the lights suddenly turn on. I feel like in the premise of keeping everything "unexpected" and "poignant" the show just abandoned all its lead up. Network: JTBC. Hye Ran admitted she married Tae Wook because she needed his position, his background and power to boost her ambitions. Why did he kill the manager Dong Hyun apart from his threatening GHR? Myung-woo, true to character, repeats hes never considered the things hes done as throwing his life away.. Netflix has not confirmed whether or not Twenty Five Twenty One will be renewed for a Season 2. But storywise, it sucks to have all that suffering just to end up with no growth. Unless the writer wants a season 2 the last few min of this show aren't my favorite. But that's not a general statement about one's decision to focus on their career. Tae Wook's love for Hye Ran looks noble but is far from desirable. 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 dies in a pool of blood, repeating how much he likes Kim-Som. Someone here asked what the Title Misty stood for ? He was confident of his love at first but as they grew further apart, he felt more pathetic. 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-). There's a lot of potential in the concept of a Mist series, but sadly, Spike's show mishandled the material. What did you not understand? But My Explanation To This Mess Is : After Park Ji Sang's death .. Unlike odilettante, I don't feel that Eun-joo is getting the short end of the stick and no, I do not think for a moment that she was Hye-ran's best friend as she claimed to be. one last thing I'd like to add: Officer Kang is truly THE worst. If Spring ever worked so hard to find its own version of happiness, stumbled on it unexpectedly, then got pummeled by Life and Consequences the moment it got a little bit soft. That would be one justification. Not to mention Tae-wooks adorable assistant gets three cheers from me because of the way he yelled at the detective to stop harassing Tae-wook and Hye-ran. She thought they had a deal but he couldn't keep his end of the bargain. Missing 9. Yes, it's an unexpected outcome, but it also takes all of those nuanced, emotional interactions between Tae . The decent thing to do was to at least let him know about the abortion plan first. Misty was a fun ride until the end, where it ran out of gas* and the writers just threw together a mess. Happy endings are not for every single drama. She did not try to pathetically pin it all on her husband, she understood they had different expectations. Why? It's not exactly disappointingkinda expected that when TW confessed. 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). She negated everything i thot she was trying to portray/ say in d end. No way could she have survived the public backlash. I don't even really like steak, but **shudder** that is criminal. Tae-wook meets with Hye-ran and confirms what Yoon said. Nevertheless, Misty still holds a special place in my heart. Is it so hard to portray a powerful woman? I believe my exact words to you were falls on his sword. Okay, so he went into a tunnel instead, but same concept. 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'. But not before repeating that Hye-ran is at fault for ruining everyones lives. :). Plus the many unanswered questions which Mary and Odilettante mentioned above. I mean, I know they were hinting at it (I was yelling at my TV "don't you kill Tae Wook!) The real truth, however, is that the cam footage was not the whole story: she was coerced and blackmailed. Why writers? No After that epic hug outside the museum too! 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-. Yong Yee. 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. She was fierce as hell for her pursuit of the news, the media that was about exposing the ills of society and the powers might be. also thank you @mary and @odilettante for giving us a place to come together and yell about our feelings! If it wasnt for the ending I would have recommended Misty (plot holes and all) to everyone. Or it turned out that Kevin Lee died in a car accident. Yes, she made questionable decisions but she had a sense of what was right and wrong and was on this blazing trail towards justice, no matter what it took. Yes, Hye-ran wasn't a scared teenager anymore, but now she had way, WAY more to lose. Should the writer have written a better script and ending for episodes 15 & 16 - yes. Hye-ran watches over Yoon in the hospital, where Eun-joo finds her to say goodbye. She got all that coming for her. Dark, mature, suspenseful. 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. We see how crazy this is in reverse in Crazy Rich Asian. check out my post about the ending: We have so many unanswered questions and characters and backstories we could have delved deeper into. Characters in this show have been making stupid choices for the past 20+ years. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. PS: Sorry about d typos. No, ambition is not the problem, you can have it all. But once we knew for sure that he did it I knew that a happy ending wasn't really possible anymore. 'Sweet and Sour' is a South Korean romantic film directed by Kae-Byeok Lee. It is an adaptation of Kurumi Inui's novel 'Initiation Love' and tells the story of a young couple and the challenges they face while trying to make their long-distance relationship work. Not all dangling situations need nor can be answered. Didn't you know? version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 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. Also in the list of satisfying things? The only scene of this that really resonated with me was when Office Manager Lee let loose on the worst cop in Seoul. However, in my opinion, this ending fits the drama so it is a good ending. The same point about lack of communication goes for the abortion issue. Thanks @mary and @odilettante for the open thread recaps of Misty. 2. Hope to see more of her soon. Oh show I really did love you until the last episode and then you failed like so many others before you. In this drama it was the same. For an example of the opposite, I would cite Start Up or Itaewon class, with powerful females having both love and career. One day, her life is turned upside down when she gets mixed up in a murder case with her ex lover and his wife.
