I really thought that I was prepared when I saw the ending coming but hell no.haha. Suicide however is not what I expected Tae Wook to do - a man of such calibre. :D ", @odilettante,you said this show reminds you of a modern day sageuk? Melancholia Season 2. Its nice to see you again!^^. In my opinion, if the show was just two episodes longer, they definitely could have incorporated/explained/explored further those un-answered questions. cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access Unless his internal monologue was supposed to imply that he really wasn't perfect and his earlier confession that he mistakenly believed his actions were borne out of Iove were supposed to highlight his own selfishness and that, despite initial appearances, she was more principled than he was. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 Hye-ran would, of course, stay silent because truth comes second to her in regards to her own interests as has been shown countless of times. KL's widow blamed her, and while I don't buy that, I also don't buy the "it's not anyone's fault". Not that I buy this anti-capitalist "ambition is bad", "don't be greedy" spiel, but movies in general (I remember a Tom Hanks flic with him being a high powered lawyer that relieves life and chooses the "correct" option of poverty and love) and Korean ones in particular have pushed this narrative for a long time. There was obsession and lust, but no love. The show was at its finest when Hye Ran made mincemeat out of her rivals, fought the bigwigs and kept her eyes on her goal. I don't have a problem with who the murderer is, but I do have a problem with Hye-ran abandoning all her principles. I don't know, probably yes, but not that soon, or even he wouldn't. I'm not happy with the ending, no I meant the ending made me feel sad and gloomy. They dont notice Myung-woo watching them talk. About Hye Ran, not sure what to think. but I totally missed the car crash sound and woowwwwwwww, I should've had my coffee before reading this recap. Misty was a fun ride until the end, where it ran out of gas* and the writers just threw together a mess. And the last two with that inept so-called veteran detective? Rating : Still A+. 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. Published on. Hoping Kim Nam Joo picks up another awesome character again soon! 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. 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? One of the central problems with. Petty mistakes accumulating and snowballing out of control. While Ha Woo Shin made a deal with Eun Hye Soo to trade . Point is, when you are making such extreme decisions and your life is not really going great, it's perfectly sensible to stop and reflect on whether what you are doing is rational and you are still on course. 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? All he had left was his pride and integrity and both got systematically stripped away during the series. But I know youve made your peace with the ending, can you share why you think Tae-wooks final choice makes sense? It took me a while saying goodbye to this beautiful, beautiful drama. I'm a bit disappointed. Lacklustre is one word. I don't want to see the message "it's wrong to aim for your dreams because it will turn you into a toxic person that will destroy everyone around you" pass. ", Source : Yonhap News Agency "Romance thriller 'Misty,' enthralling story of success, unpretentious love". I didn't like that the answer seemed to be "not" by the end. I confess to being in a drama slump and not watching much of anything except Drama Specials and not everyday. Vague; hazy. There's this thing in kdramas where i get to the end of episode 14 and I think "this is the best drama ever" and then the final two episodes are exactly like this - meandering, unfocussed and frustrating. We fell in love with Misty. "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. There are those that are sad. Dont remind me of the dropped threads and unanswered questions, because my brain starts making a list. As other people have mentioned, I hated how she abandoned the principles she tried so hard to keep by letting Myungwoo take the blame. He was her trophy husband and she his trail blazing wife. abstract. That's true.She was gonna reveal him on the show at that time that's why he was supposed to be a guest. 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. Cone heads are everywhere this week. But once we knew for sure that he did it I knew that a happy ending wasn't really possible anymore. In my literature classes, our teachers always insisted on the fact that nobody reads the same book, or even, if you read it twice, you never read the same story, because as an individual, you are always changing, and that makes your experience unique, every time it happens. Since none of this was clear for me, it is difficult to assess the final situation and empathise with her feelings. How can a show railing against sexism be in the end so sexist? The media, and drama itself, now lets a man get away with murder while we now relegate our heroine to pander to peoples fantasy of perfect marriages. He tells her that people cant really pinpoint the exact thing thats wrong in their lives theyre all just trying to survive each day. Ji Won was the one actually sleeping with him but nobody seemed to care about that. Achieving . And men admired her strong personality, she was deemed worthy. As I see it, the ending conveys this pessimism to the guts. But you're right. 'Melancholia' is a South Korean drama released on 10th November 2021. No way would she have come out of it a hero. I think the show made it seem like it could be a potential problem that he observed and filmed them, but ultimately he rather idolized her professionally. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. 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. His family contacts did nothing but lead him into a world of corruption. This is the only drama I've managed to finish lately. Runtime: Friday & Saturday 23:00. He was a snoop at most, maybe it's his desire to know all facts like his (in his mind) perfect sunbae Hye-ran. Her husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee) who is a prosecutor-turned-public defender, decides to defend her. The 2018 k-drama, My Mister, is known as one of the best life of slice k-dramas of the last decade. I blame the incompetent detective for TWs death. In the end, we learn more from negative things that happened instead of just having flowery path all along the way.. I mean, KL died so pathetically. Some were clearly questionable regardless of gender (I doubt, for example, putting work over attending your mother's last moments on this heart would be treated "neutrally" regardless of gender). 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. "Then do it properly!" Hate it? odilettante: Even though Ive never been a fan of Eun-joo, I couldnt help but feel that she got the short end of the stick. And I was sad that Myung Woo will once again, be sent to prison. Tae-wook shoves him into a wall in anger and walks away, but Kevins head hits the wall hard enough to kill him, and he slumps to the ground. Then In-Hye splits her money with her sisters. It was misty indeed, and choices are what define us in the end, we all have our positive traits, but we indeed have negative instincts inside. Id rather have seen Hye Ran deliver the bombshell that Tae wook was Kevins killer. Hope to see more of her soon. Hye-ran was in her car, why was the brooch in Kevins? (function(d, s, id) { HMW was a totally unnecessary character to be used as a joker,the way he was portrayed; the worst plothole. None of the men blamed her for their choices (with the exception of Kevin Lee). *shudders*. If they leave you, you will end up all alone, sad, depressed, hopeless and even suicidal. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. Were there scenes filmed that were cut? 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. And yes, it's really crazy that we are presented the binary alternative "stay-at-home-mom" or "suffer", which is a false choice. Nice job on the writers using actual mist in the end to make the title work. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; Kang reached the car and managed to save and get out alive Ra El. At the end, it is still satisfying ending for good ending gives viewer something to ponder upon. It was just implausible that Myung-woo committed the murder. If executed well, it would be awesome but dont sacrifice logic and the integrity of your story and characters just to achieve it. I imagine Ji-wons glass is now stored in his office drawer too. 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. That said, it's definitely something where communication would have been key, while he was completely blindsided. Well put, bravo!!! In her private life, Hye Ran was the opposite of what she vowed to uphold in her job. I became so emotionally invested and I never regret it. 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. This woman went around complaining how no one believes her when she says she didn't Kevin while NEVER actually telling the truth about her relationship with him. That is the only satisfying thing from the last four episodes. The only satifying part was Manager Lee giving the Dummy Detective the much-deserved yelling for his shoddy investigation. The one thing I would have expected was for her to reveal the truth, come what may , but instead the writer just took a dump on her character. odilettante: Essentially, yes, although Hye-ran will undoubtedly have PTSD knowing that the men shes loved have either killed or died because of her. 'Melancholia' Season 1 story gave everyone high hopes to see more of Im Soo Jung and Lee Do Hyun, possibly in a Season 2. Is it karmic justice for her aborting the baby without asking him? Park Hae-young is an exceptional writer. Like you, @odilettante , I am one of the few that really liked the ending. }; Or better, I hope you enjoy them more!! Like you are happy, we are happy, everybody is happy. (Also, I would've been dead.). 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. Even though I personally think it still has its own flaws, Misty made such a . I believe it was William Dean Howells who pointed out almost 100 years ago "What the American public wants is a tragedy with a happy ending.". Maybe. Granted, not about killing him, but if she lies about one thing, it makes everything she says suspicious. Maybe he cant fix the past, but he can do his best to remove the final barrier to Hye-rans happiness. As all the dirty dealings surrounding Kevins murder would have been exposed. Initially, i did feel like that they should have shown us more. Tae-wook is not dead: he went back to his cone-headed, perfect husband material planet. Here TW's case is different, and I would draw a parallel rather to Kevin Lee's wife. 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. 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. Of course I was sad that we got a bittersweet ending. Then the annoyance came back when detective stopped by to give Tae Wook one last nudge just before TW's drive to the interview. They kept hinting at her manipulative tendencies especially after her use of Knocking on Heavens door to emotionally shake up GHR. It is revealed that the killer is Kim-Som herself. In The Glory, the protagonist is Moon Dong-Eun, a girl who was heavily bullied when she was a teenager between 2004 and 2006. Tae-wook meets with Hye-ran and confirms what Yoon said. Many plot holes and stupid choices by the characters had to be introduced to come to this ending. "I'm just doing my job." When Hyo-Rin became 18, she took out all the money from her bank accounts and they divide the money between the 3 of them: In-Hye, Hyo-Rin and Do-Il. I mustnt disappoint Myung-woo by putting the blame elsewhere. She understood that in giving and taking, she was doing all the taking and he all the giving (she asked herself what did she ever give him). Perhaps it was the message from the drama to viewers Woman, you cant be happy if you choose career over love. I agree, and I am so glad someone else was as taken with the violin BGM as I was. The series ends as we see Kim returning to her normal life. 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). Was it the ending what I wanted - no. But then that guy would sacrifice himself againso I don't know what to think. She did not try to pathetically pin it all on her husband, she understood they had different expectations. 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 . Tae Wook I shouldnt have trusted you the moment you microwaved that steak. Well, the ending was kinda unexpected but not exactly shocking. Just gonna repeat here what I said about the ending: I really would have liked to see a well adjusted female character that could have a great career while also communicating with her spouse about big life decisions, rather than deceive them in an attempt to deny reality (which they both did, for their respective secrets -and it would have been good for this parallel to have been made explicit to them as well-). The decent thing to do was to at least let him know about the abortion plan first. Guess I will just have to go rewatch Mother which was phenomenal and had one of the best endings ever even if I did go through a box of kleenex in the process. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. She was the one sending him the haunting video calls. He dies in a pool of blood, repeating how much he likes Kim-Som. or maybea murderer? Manager Lee hands Tae-wook a letter from Myung-woo. ^-^ I had the same frustrations. I don't think what Eun Joo told HMW on that day in the past is gossip. There could be miracles you know, there you have JBL, and Mother they were awesome until the end . 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. Hye Ran admitted she married Tae Wook because she needed his position, his background and power to boost her ambitions. Synopsis. 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. Woo Sin still has the real "Adamas" and has fooled Hye Soo by giving her a fake one. Tell me about it. Even the kindest person can turn into a cold-hearted person. See how shitty that sounds? The ending was a disappointment because she deserved better. Even if it's her body and it's her right, they were married with a bit of affection on both sides. I think Hye-ran hold the live interview for him to confess his crime and save Myun-woo. She has agency. Maybe they didnt like that KLs image was ruined, and that company profits fell? 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.
