@kafiyah-bello You've summarised it perfectly! If the edges had been smoothed out more, I would have recommended this drama to everyone and their mothers in a heartbeat. Go Hye Ran's eye makeup and wardrobe FTW~, And can we please send some love to Go Joon? when TW's assistant found but chose to ignore the clothes TW threw out, and when JBC's director chose to broadcast MW as the culprit despite HR's confession (his reasoning being it's 'the facts', but I think if TW arrived at the station before MW, that 'fact' could have easily been another one, or the truth in this case). It was all in line with the unraveling chain of events. There are enough questions left in this drama to fill another season. She is the one carrying the child, it's her body and her choice, it's not really a situation that you could have in reverse. Don't ever do the same." I couldn't stop thinking about the ending even days after watching the show. Hye-ran rushes to her friend in the ICU but Jang is already there. I would have liked to see another well adjusted character with a stable relationship that manages to have her career and also be there for her family in their critical hour and have good communication with her spouse. I don't understand when Hye Ran said he was the only person who understands her. So what principles are we talking about here, exactly? " Love it? Most of all, I want the ultimate power look: a khaki trench coat and red stilettos. 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. Her actions have an effect on other people. And all the others people have brought up. Its her first serious drama and the project that made her physically and mentally drained the most (she said it during her interview) but is also the one dearest to her heart. If executed well, it would be awesome but dont sacrifice logic and the integrity of your story and characters just to achieve it. That's the show's thesis statement. Then everything started with you and your petty gossip. Ok, so Tae Wook is the killer. As Hye-ran prepares for the interview, she thinks about her dream of happiness and believing it was something she could achieve. I wanted a happy ending for Tae-wook and Hye-ran. Myung Woo's self-sacrifice continued his love and protector role for Hye Ran. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { 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. We have so many unanswered questions and characters and backstories we could have delved deeper into. If the point is "this is not binay, you can have both" and wishing there was *also* (the FL had this as her dramatic flaw) a well adjusted female character with both a great career and happy interpersonal relationships in this drama, I would be onboard. That is the only satisfying thing from the last four episodes. I haven't watched ep 16 (yet?). I didnt understand exactly why he did the things he did. Hes here to say goodbye to them too, since he wont be able to visit them where hes going. Meanwhile, Hye-ran hasnt budged from her seat at all, freaking out Jang and the rest of the team. "Im not asking to be spoon-fed, but I want to know what I just ate." I better not tell you. I blame the incompetent detective for TWs death. Like what happened to her dream of bringing down the greedy people at the top? In the end, we learn more from negative things that happened instead of just having flowery path all along the way.. From the star cast filled with immense talent to an intriguing story, My Mister has everything. It seemed like Myung-woo was giving her some tough love: Okay Eun-joo, you wanna play the blame game? I mean, I know they were hinting at it (I was yelling at my TV "don't you kill Tae Wook!) 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. There were so many things happening at the end that I'm so confused what message the writer was trying to impart to us. 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. This time, Hye-ran questions Eun-joos accusations. Ugh. // Load the SDK asynchronously I want to know what shell do after finding out Tae-wook is dead, not get a vague reflection on how difficult it is for her to be happy and then nothing. Doesn't that highlight the hyeran-finally-loves-taewook-for-who-he-is not his connection not his title, just himself, out of jail, old. I'm very impressed by the stellar performance of its cast and how the show managed to hook and get me thinking in every episode. She thought they had a deal but he couldn't keep his end of the bargain. * When their souls leave their bodies, at that point, there is no return (dominoes clacking}}}}}. hello @pastmidnite @growingbeautifully @giegie good to see you all again. check out my post about the ending: Ive been a dramabeans lurker for 5 years now. I don't think this is the case, nor do I think that it should be (horrendous behavior being wrongly justified because of a person's gender should be corrected by questioning it regardless of gender, not by using this disparity as an excuse). His manager? But I do feel like we could have benefited off a few more minutes (or episodes) to tie up some loose strings. As for the extramarital affair, how is it unpretentious or even love? When I say I like the ending, I mean I like it thematically. I was actually confused after I first saw the episode whether he died or not. This is the only drama I've managed to finish lately. It would have been better that way writers. yep, and that Myeong Woo would have moved on to do something more meaningful for himself rather than noble prisonhood. That would've worked, too.). She was no longer hungry for success, she even passed on News Nine to Ji Won. [4] [5] It aired on JTBC 's Fridays and Saturdays at 23:00 ( KST) time slot from February 2 to March 24, 2018. All he had left was his pride and integrity and both got systematically stripped away during the series. No one on this planet should control your happiness other than yourself. . Tae Wook HOW COULD YOU`? 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-). Exactly. Tae-wooks now included. I think the 'big fat lie' interview with her husband was exactly what she was planning and that was why she basically had a nervous breakdown on camera. 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. 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. 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. The person I ended up liking the most is the Director. I feelnothing. Suicide however is not what I expected Tae Wook to do - a man of such calibre. 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. Manager Lee hands Tae-wook a letter from Myung-woo. 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. Tell me about it. GHRs expert reporting skills should have been used for a greater purpose. I dont need anymore scenes of Hye Ran, I already know she will never be happy..just as she knows too. Plus, it was eerie how she kept rewinding the part where she spoke to the reporters after the first trial. Tae Wook being perfect came out of nowhere, she did not marry him because he was perfect. Ha Myung Woo's sacrifice didn't make sense and was all for nothing because of the last 10 mins. 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. I sure hope Misty is that one rare drama.. Suddenly, his assistant reveals herself to be his daughter. Leaving her to deal with the guilt of Tae Wook 's suicide and Myung Woo's capital punishment isn't something a man who truly loved her would have done. However like a lot of people, I was quite dissatisfied with the ending and found the two hour finale overly-long and self-indulgent. He did not choose to murder him, he pushed the guy and walked away scolding him, it was essentially an unpredictable freak accident. I'm not disapointed by the end because it was clear from pretty soon that it will be not a happy ending. Tae-wook finds Hye-ran hastily leaving his office. Tragedies end tragically. But really,are there NONE of such heroines who managed to lead a blissful,complete,no-regrets life after they achieved their goal??? You know, I watched that timer run out in episode 16 thinking, Shes wearing the same coat for how many days now? I mean, KL died so pathetically. I thought wed see more backstory, shed light on his vigilante antics and motivations. Was she looking for social justice or simply her own social ladder? I think a rookie reporter would have done a better job. i enjoyed this drama with all of its turns and surprises it should've been called Twisty the cast was stellar, acting was stellar, pantsuits stellar but the fluffy floral dress wasn't in character, especially when she was at home. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. EXACTLY, in the end I totally don't find any of these men in Hyeran's life swoony for "protecting" her. ", @outofthisworld I see what you did there XD. Seems only Money Flower had a satisfying ending recently from the shows I've seen. Then everything started with you and your petty gossip. So now why would I be surprised by the fact she remains silence about TW? "Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through.". That would have been more like him in my opinion. That said, it's definitely something where communication would have been key, while he was completely blindsided. Always reading the comments but never typing any. 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. Aug 31, 2020. Quick! In this drama, I'm disapointed by the couple Hye Ran and Tae Wook. Thanks @ mary and @ odilettante. And the last two with that inept so-called veteran detective? Do not misunderstand me, I love Hye-ran as a character. I dont know why writers are so preoccupied with having a killer twist or unexpected ending. It was so fun to read your comments and dialogues. FB.init({ Why was GHR so shaken up with the gloves when she came back after making the call? She got all that coming for her. She has done it before plus now she is in love with her husband which gives her more motive. You didnt make me kill anyone. And in the end, you open your hand, and there is nothing. 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 . Kang locked himself in the car with So Ra, so that she would no longer hurt Ra El, whom she had kidnapped. 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. 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. Maybe MW, but certainly not in TW's case. 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. Shakes fist at lazy writers. However, I saw even on other forums people seeing it as "punishment" for ambition, a-la "I guess you can't have it all". All the lead up caused the suspense of KLs death to fizzle and then ep 16 was very limp. Seriously, if she were a man, she wouldnt have gotten a lot of the criticisms she went through. What will happen when her public defender husband, Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee), decides to defend her and save their failing marriage? It's in the scene where she tells him that she loves him (finally) but she wants to break up with him because she doesn't like the pain that comes with love. I don't even really like steak, but **shudder** that is criminal. Its nice to see you again!^^. It stayed in me and I think the writer is saying, "My characters ended up in those ways because of their own decisions. The following morning, Eun-joo ignores Myung-woos warning and continues her one-woman protest outside the JBC building. So I understand the disappointment we're all feeling. The decent thing to do was to at least let him know about the abortion plan first. This is a pre-produced drama. There was no way that anyone was gonna get out of this "happy". I guess the writer needs to clarify some things here. But you're right. He re-imagines the scene when he interrupted Hye-rans interrogation at the start of the series. She seemed very manipulative with KLs manager- making him pity her and then driving him to go after GHRs life. I have to admit that the still shot of the leading actress (as shown in the picture above) is not too convincing . Apparently this is one of them. If Detective Kang doesn't meet Tae-wook in that morning to say those lines, would Tae-wook's ending be different? He tells her that Yoon mightve been attacked after coming to the same conclusion as Detective Kang. 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! I often read comments on different sites that Hye Ran is also responsible that the men in her life turned out this way. Gone is the media that was about uncovering social inequities and corruption. I'm so pissed that he didn't learn from Myung-woo's mistake and stole Hye-ran's chance to make a choice, when the last scene we saw of them together is Hye-ran begging Tae-wook to give her time so they can think about the next step. Hi there @Rigby @rigby2800! Huh. How often will she be linked to this murders now, without someone on her side who helps her through this mess? You sop right Mary!!!!!! So was blackmailing a colleague and capitalizing on her friend being betrayed (though Ji-won should have gotten the brunt of this). The ending answered nothing. I thought they were gonna reveal it during the interview too, that's why Hye-ran seemed a bit melancholic backstage. I would suggest the movie "A Single Rider" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Single_Rider) as just one of the examples of this exact situation being depicted. The support of the directorship of Kim Won-Suk and Kim Sang-Woo make this series timeless in the harmony of these geniuses. 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. Characters in this show have been making stupid choices for the past 20+ years. 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"-). Really not sure what's happening lately. Misty is one of my fave drama now and yeah even it has the foggiest ending, I am still glad I have watched it. She did not try to pathetically pin it all on her husband, she understood they had different expectations. *shudders*. The 2018 k-drama, My Mister, is known as one of the best life of slice k-dramas of the last decade. He ends up killing himself? version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 Was anyone else bothered by Tae Wook's decision to commit suicide by driving into a tunnel with his eyes closed? And he could kill her too if it comes to that. His name? one last thing I'd like to add: Officer Kang is truly THE worst. 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. Was she about to reveal the truth, is that why Tae Wook was joining her on the show? Now, while I don't agree with the complaint "she was blamed unfairly" (the only ones that blamed her were KL, who frankly kind of had a point about being abandoned because of poverty, though certainly not about everything he did after coming in contact with her at the airport, which was scummy and horrendous, as well as his widow, which had a marginal point and after all was not emotionally stable after having watched the cam footage and losing the kid -she could have trusted her friend when she told her she was disgusted by her husband and was coerced, on the other hand it's not clear whether she betrayed her to save her marriage by suppressing the information, or because she wanted that Blue House job, though it's clear that the claim that it was only am marriage of convenience, as her husband believes, is untrue: she knows her husband is the only one that accepted her fully for what she is, and said so in the car-, but should really have been more pissed with her husband or Ji-won, since her friend had really been coerced -sexual assault, as she told her- and blackmailed, and even with Ji-won she only capitalized on the affair, and did not force it to happen -she even was the one that told her friend, who would have otherwise been completely ignorant of the situation-), I agree with this point. 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. Myung-woo is right. It all started to go wrong after Myung Woo confessed because suddenly the distance between Hye Ran and Tae Wook became unassailable. Still, the result is the same. 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. there are a lot on instagram. 2022-03-17 00:15:20 1244 views. mary: I feel so bad for her. If anything, this drama has depicted love in the worst form. There are many dramas which dont end as well as they start. All she did was connect the dots. Sisyphus is a king in Greek Mythology who cheats death a few times in an attempt to escape his mortality. 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. They kept hinting at her manipulative tendencies especially after her use of Knocking on Heavens door to emotionally shake up GHR. It the episode when I cried the most. An popular anchorwoman, Go Hye Ran (Kim Nam Joo) is suspected of murder. Are we to hope that he didn't end up killing innocent people in the process of his stupidity? 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. in conflict with its tone and focus but it made no. appId : '127538621120543', Btw, I am still in the middle of The Good Wife (I know, so late), but I was loving all the familiar faces. She alone could see the figure in public spaces, leading to the idea that maybe she was hallucinating. When Hye-ran protests, he insists theyre reporting a fact: Myung-woo confessed to killing Kevin Lee. I'm not happy with the ending, no I meant the ending made me feel sad and gloomy. Hye-ran didnt make me kill anyone. The people's hero Woo Do-hwan is MBC's Joseon Lawyer, First look at Kim Seo-hyung in ENA's Paper Moon. 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.".
