I find it most incredible that he wanted to depict unpretentious love. Why did he decide to take the fall for TW? Is it so hard to portray a powerful woman? Myung Woo is a psycho. How can a show railing against sexism be in the end so sexist? Here TW's case is different, and I would draw a parallel rather to Kevin Lee's wife. What happens to Hwan Il and the other baddies? :/.

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. Maybe MW, but certainly not in TW's case. 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.

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). On the bright side, I at least got the satisfaction of him not getting his way. The real truth, however, is that the cam footage was not the whole story: she was coerced and blackmailed. Lee cries in his car as he remembers Tae-wook giving him tickets and reservation for a vacation as if hes sending him away.

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. So disappointing. Whats up with him? Not all dangling situations need nor can be answered. You didnt make me kill anyone. They had Tae Wook asking Hye Ran in the voiceover So, are you happy? Thanks for pointing out @growingbeautifully and thank you for those beautiful flowers just like you. What the ending does provides us is that TW is *selfish* unlike his upright, uptight portrayal initially. It the episode when I cried the most. 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). The show had the last chance to redeem itself even if they had to make Tae Wook die. One example is kdrama_fashion. Why didnt he ever ask Hye Ran the one thousand questions or ONE question that mattered most? I was actually confused after I first saw the episode whether he died or not. Then everything started with you and your petty gossip. I'm not even mad at the murder per se but that he pulled Hye Ran into it and that she finally LOVED him only for everything come crushing down. There was obsession and lust, but no love. Im so confused with what I was feeling after watching it. What didn't get answered? I didn't like that the answer seemed to be "not" by the end.

If she was really concerned about Hye-ran as a friend and not just trying to get Myung-woo turned off by Hye-ran's behavior, she would've immediately called an adult to intervene in Hye-ran's situation. He was planning to turn himself in after the vacation with Hye-ran. All he had left was his pride and integrity and both got systematically stripped away during the series. I was disappointed with the last two episodes that eventually went against all that was so good about the show. 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. (I would not have minded an ending where he goes to jail and they patch up their marriage, though. Yes, Hye-ran wasn't a scared teenager anymore, but now she had way, WAY more to lose. 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-). Not only was the. I don't know what to think about the finale. The ending is controversial and plothole-ridd but. This show left me BROKENHEARTED. Credits: Netflix. Jang labels an envelope with Kevin Lees murder, to be filed together with news hes been saving for the right moment, but at the last minute he doesnt put Hye-rans note in it and puts an empty envelope in the box. Kang reached the car and managed to save and get out alive Ra El. Was she about to reveal the truth, is that why Tae Wook was joining her on the show? Tae-wook chose to end things this way. Full of tears so as to blur the vision (of a person's eyes). Should the writer have written a better script and ending for episodes 15 & 16 - yes. He deserved a better life more than anyone else. It seems as if the writer didn't know what to do or which direction to take in the last two episodes. Can you tell Im slightly bitter? 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. I don't think that Hye-ran could have done a light and fluffy "our marriage is great, and we beat injustice" type interview because it would have been a big, fat lie. I thought that they were suddenly going to pull back from all the hints pointing to TW and instead do a 360 and surprise us with an EPIC take-down. The same point about lack of communication goes for the abortion issue. or @giegie0384 is the right one, I think. 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. She backs away and begs him to answer the question, and Tae-wook finally answers yes. She feels like a young . It was so fun to read your comments and dialogues.

The ending is disappointing but I didn't regret meeting such characters (brought to life by the cast) and would recommend it to friends who are into such themes or genre. A man pursuing career and wrecking their home life is pretty much a trope (Suspicious Partners, Stranger 1st season, I would say My Mister for the "possessive/needy/insecure I-want-you-to-distance-yourself-from-family-and-community-and-focus-only-on-me vibe"). In it, Myung-woo tells him to protect Hye-ran until the end as the punishment for his crimes. Thanks @ mary and @ odilettante.

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'. mary: Yes, someone even described it as Hye-ran being like the embodiment of Spring. That's the show's thesis statement. Director Jang mobilizes the News Nine team to cover this breaking news. I was disappointed that it was sad but at the same time I'm not too gutted about it because I didn't find it too far off for the show. "As the title 'Misty' suggests, the drama looks into the truth of life shrouded in uncertainty. I blame the incompetent detective for TWs death. People were just doing things. I mean, KL died so pathetically. Also, why couldn't they explain who tried to kill Yoon or was it a red herring and purely coincidental? The witer of the letter also asks him to find the "Adamas" to get Su Hyeon. I feel like in the premise of keeping everything "unexpected" and "poignant" the show just abandoned all its lead up. 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.
