Choices have consequences, good or bad, and blaming someone else for your actions will get you nowhere. I would also object to the "obsession" label. 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 she started talking about what a pervert the loan shark was. appId : '127538621120543', I do not understand this talk about Hye-ran's principles. But I guess its all about accepting peoples choices. or 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. All the lead up caused the suspense of KLs death to fizzle and then ep 16 was very limp. But I know youve made your peace with the ending, can you share why you think Tae-wooks final choice makes sense? 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. Yaas! The last two episodes were devoted to Hye Ran using the evidence she'd collected to rain hell down upon them. But I'm having fun with variety shows! Why was the story similar to the fake witnesses? 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. It wouldn't have been a 'tragedy' if there was any possibility that he might've actually done it. // Load the SDK asynchronously }); }; Thanks again to @mary and @odilettante for all the amazing discussions here you've both started. mary: I think a more competent cop wouldve been able to poke holes in Myung-woos story. How did Kang Yool know, or did they randomly guess it? yep, and that Myeong Woo would have moved on to do something more meaningful for himself rather than noble prisonhood. He deserved a better life more than anyone else. No one did expect that kind of ending. Answer (1 of 4): I loved the 1st episode only - very heartwarming, then the story is poor, confused. Wasn't expecting Kevin Lee to suddenly pop up.. The astronaut named Eve Kim will be played by Gong Hyo jin who will meet Lee Min ho as Gong Ryong who is a tourist on the space station. Misty: With Nam-ju Kim, Jin-hee Ji, Hye-jin Jeon, Tae-kyung Im. Even if it's her body and it's her right, they were married with a bit of affection on both sides. Meanwhile, Detective Kang drops by Tae-wooks office where he gets scolded by Office Manager Lee for torturing the couple. Missing 9. .just nothing. Hye ran would have been ruined, but the true story would have gotten out. When it ended, I was like 'is that finished? Its apparent Tae-wook had been suffering from depression for years. The feelings! Still, congratulations to the team and especially the actors who did a stellar job. I also don't think that it's what the show's creators intended. He tells her that people cant really pinpoint the exact thing thats wrong in their lives theyre all just trying to survive each day. 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. 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-). Please enter your username or email address. The lack of communication between Hye Ran and Tae Wook is unreal. Kang Yoon-Kyum dies in the 16th episode of the kdrama Eve. happy Thursday, Beanies! 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. Its with our choices in life how we decide whats gonna be..the righteous, protecting, honest principled husband? I needed to sort out my thoughts after that *sobs* ending. His detectives report finding Myung-woos hideout full of Hye-ran posters like an obsessed fan and a bottle of drugs that matches the type found in Dong-hyuns body. // Load the SDK asynchronously for you! Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, I agree, and I am so glad someone else was as taken with the violin BGM as I was. The cast members are really doing their best to tell the real story and feelings as sincerely as possible," the producer said. 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?!! You will receive a link to create a new password via email. I know the show's called Misty but we still don't actually know what happened that night or why Hye Ran was lying to Kevin Lee about wanting to be with him or where she went with his wife or why he had the black box video in his jacket. For example TaewooK let Kevin get under skin and then he killed him. I mean, I know they were hinting at it (I was yelling at my TV "don't you kill Tae Wook!) 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). With this ending tho, i found it quite out of character of taewook to end it that way. The point is: I don't know why but most good shows are ruined by an end that disappoints you. 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. Yes that's exactly how I felt !! ", @odilettante,you said this show reminds you of a modern day sageuk? Part of the actions of these women affect other women (I feel that the sociopathic disregard is more on Ji-won's side, but I don't see much inter-sex solidarity for the widow with the scummy husband, depicting "famous women" going after the philanderer with a pregnant wife and a pregnant wife and a violent/abusive/non consensual/obsessive streak does not say much about the self respect). Everything else pointed to a man who was a coward and self-absorbed. Wow. It is like that after all. None of the men blamed her for their choices (with the exception of Kevin Lee). After reading the post however, I realised I pretty much had similar thoughts/ questions. K-Dramas are the best when it comes to powerful cast, plot , ost and more. And I was sad that Myung Woo will once again, be sent to prison. Why? He was a snoop at most, maybe it's his desire to know all facts like his (in his mind) perfect sunbae Hye-ran. Instead they show her loosing everything and possibly being so broken that even tho she now has a talkshow she wont be able to continue after TWs death. Tae Wook being perfect came out of nowhere, she did not marry him because he was perfect. Also in the list of satisfying things? KL's widow blamed her, and while I don't buy that, I also don't buy the "it's not anyone's fault". Backstage, her stylist looks shocked after answering Hye-rans phone. 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. Reporter Yoon finally wakes up and asks about Tae-wook. Btw, I am still in the middle of The Good Wife (I know, so late), but I was loving all the familiar faces. That was important. 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 She is strong, ambitious and vulnerable, but at the same time she is cold, manipulative and immensely hypocritical. Hye-ran remembers Tae-wook insisting on a vacation when she was trying to get the truth out of him, and she runs home looking for her husband. If anything, this drama has depicted love in the worst form. We have so many unanswered questions and characters and backstories we could have delved deeper into. He had spent 19 years in prison, over half of his life so what difference does it make if prison continued being his life. 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). 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. Kang locked himself in the car with So Ra, so that she would no longer hurt Ra El, whom she had kidnapped. 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'. Someone take Detective Kang's badge and give it to her instead. That would've worked, too.). 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. odilettante: Apparently Im the only one who didnt mind the ending, but thats because I never really expected a true happy ending. 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. 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. Tae Wook's love for Hye Ran looks noble but is far from desirable. If he'd actually investigated this well from the beginning, none of this would have happened. Would have wanted more flashbacks of Eun Joo with Hyeran and Myung Woo. This pisses off Zeus, who punishes Sisyphus. 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. , Drama slump? When Hye-ran protests, he insists theyre reporting a fact: Myung-woo confessed to killing Kevin Lee. I recall a well known Hollywood movie with this exact plot (high powered male lawyer without love relieves life and becomes ordinary worker with a wife and kids). Does that mean Tae-wooks reaction to it is more out of his sense of guilt and grief knowing what hed done to Kevin than seeing seeing Hye-rans actions? I wish they would have shown how she moves on after this. I was confused by Ki Seok's motive for filming that footage of Hye Ran and Jae Young, but then he was always on her side? A suspiciously couple-y moment between Ji-won and Reporter Kwak prompts the team to compare him and Tae-wook as perfect guys, and only Reporter Yoon notices that Hye-ran is just faking the happy facade. You know, I watched that timer run out in episode 16 thinking, Shes wearing the same coat for how many days now? @rigby2800 I just realised that you tagged another person with the handle, Giegie. Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through. 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. That being said it has been both an honor and a privilege to watch this show with you and I'm glad I could read your thoughts. Tae Wok was honest, fair and firm in his life and love but. ooppss he had a dark side.. Actually if ANY of us was in the car we could just pull the handbrake or smth and slap him out of his foolish unlogical thought. Tae Wook looked criminally handsome in that scene and oh, so so devastated! Also, why couldn't they explain who tried to kill Yoon or was it a red herring and purely coincidental? Sisyphus is a king in Greek Mythology who cheats death a few times in an attempt to escape his mortality. * When their souls leave their bodies, at that point, there is no return (dominoes clacking}}}}}. Release Date: February 2, 2018 - March 24, 2018. 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. If Detective Kang did his job (properly) in the first place, he wouldn't have to question almost every little 'feeling' he had. Idk if the question was for me, but I'll try to answer. Through the process of fighting the murder charge, the couple grows closer again. The bullies were a group of five other students led by the girl Park Yeon-Jin, who is the biggest villain of the series: the other four are the rich boy Jeon Jae-Jun, the aggressive girl Lee Sa . 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-. The only satifying part was Manager Lee giving the Dummy Detective the much-deserved yelling for his shoddy investigation. Tae-wooks now included. Writer: Je-In. I mean, she could've talked about with him, he would've said no, she would've done it anyway (I hope) and the result would've been the same. Was it Ji-won? It would have been awful to discover 'the butler did it' after all of the explicit clues pointing to the husband. 2. In his drive to change GHRs hungry ambitions and make her love him, he didnt understand that she wouldnt have changed her mind now because she needed him now. I mean, KL died so pathetically. 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 thought he wld go to jail but she would wait for him. Premiere Watch: Radio Romance, Cross, Misty, Melo-thriller Misty holds its first script read, Ji Jin-hee up to join Kim Nam-joo in her comeback drama Misty, Kim Nam-joo courted for drama comeback via JTBC, LT is Irresistibly Indifferent, Dame Judi, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Single_Rider, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fortunate_Man, http://www.dramabeans.com/members/kethysk/activity/425045/#acomment-425046. Both the drama and the cast have received considerable attention since the first episode. Hye ran.. what can I say? 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. I mean they are choosing not to listen to the one thing Hyeran has been screaming the entire time, that it IS her choice for HER life. Or better, I hope you enjoy them more!! At the end, it is still satisfying ending for good ending gives viewer something to ponder upon. Lol. Yoon also points out that Tae-wook, as Hye-rans lawyer, shouldve known this. In my opinion, if the show was just two episodes longer, they definitely could have incorporated/explained/explored further those un-answered questions. Speak of the devil, Myung-woo shows up like the ninja he is and tells Hye-ran to buck up. Hye Ran admitted she married Tae Wook because she needed his position, his background and power to boost her ambitions. In this drama it was the same. I wanted a happy ending for Tae-wook and Hye-ran. Was it the ending what I wanted - no. I feelnothing. The ending answered EVERYTHING, in my opinion. Basically, what I am saying is that communication is key (and frankly, some choices like not going to hear her mother's last words make it clear that yes, everyone is responsible for their own actions, but they have consequences ambiguous towards it because I actually can't understand whether she was resentful of her mother or whether she had reason to, with the whole thing with the creepy attacker in her childhood). :( Him re-imagining the scene from the beginning hurts so much. The ending of the Korean drama Anna is destined to be a tragedy, Suzy's new drama Anna, only hard work is the correct solution . And if that's the case, what happens to the person he asked who actually did the deed? After that epic hug outside the museum too! Its like everything was ok until the time when Tae Wook went to the station but then Myung Woo enters the scene and boy he did made it all go down to a mist. If your happiness is in someone elses hands youre rooting for conditional happiness. He never blamed her and no one should blame another person for their choices in life. I keep reading about the 'plot holes 'but can't think of any. Directed by Ahn Gil-ho and written by Kim Eun-sook, "The Glory" is a Korean drama series centered around a woman in her mid-thirties who is determined to punish those who wronged her. The final episodes of the drama start with Do-ha and Chang-ho fighting for the mayor's place. He did not choose to murder him, he pushed the guy and walked away scolding him, it was essentially an unpredictable freak accident. Throughout the journey Hye-ran has consistently showed tendency to lie whenever it benefits her and has been perfectly ready to do shady things to advance her career or to cover up what happened in past. Kariernya sebagai news anchor sangat cemerlang dan sukses. The ending was a disappointment because she deserved better. The court scenes were just too painful to watch and a total drag. Yoon makes plans and fails to meet with Hye-ran because a man with a crowbar attacks her. His masculinity was defined by crushing a glass into pieces with his bare hand and killing Kevin with one push. 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. Maybe they didnt like that KLs image was ruined, and that company profits fell? It didn't do anything. Sad. The ending of Misty is 100% consistent with the narrative of the 15 episodes that got us there. 16 Popular and Best K-Dramas With Happy Ending.
