"I had always thought that I had everything. But, when I open my hand there's nothing. Perhaps we try to catch thing that are impossible to catch. Is that why we live life like we're crazy?".
My gosh. I lived for that last words.
When Misty was over my heart break up. Since trial's chapters, when little details about truth did show up, I was begging to gods for a happy ending. But when Hye Ran, referring to Myung Woo's murder, sayed to Tae Wook: "if he had listened to me, if he had believed in me...", I realised that a break point happened before we noticed it. If everthing would have been perfect, this would not have been the greatest drama of season.
I really (really, really, really) wanted to trust Tae Wook's unconditional love. But Misty is not (just) a sweet romance, there is a lot of thing behind main couple. Relationship between Hye Ran and Tae Wook felt real (not just realistic), but also felt strange and twisted. It is not coincidence that Painful Love's verses (courtesy of Lee Seung Chul) sounded like a dark echo: "Love is love / it’s only a wound".
Tae Wook's wounds took Kevin Lee's life. His death what was a stupid mistake caused by a rush of anger, jealousy and sorrow. What tell us the truth about Tae Wook: he was a man madly in love, crushed by his manly pride. And that fact emptied Hye Ran's heart forever.
Everyone hoped a twist as the last chapter approached...Well, I don't know if this strange finale was all that everone was expected. Myung Woo's act for sure surprised us, but that's all. I liked a lot the ambiguous ending, it seems that the viewer must suppose what happened and live with uncertainty. Still, it was very bittersweet. It suits to drama's narrative: thuth came little by little, until leaving us dissatisfied. This is living.
Go Hye Ran is probably one of the best characters of kdramas' history. Her brave and fierce personality make her too attractive, we understand why men around her fell for her so deep. Like a human, more than a woman, she serves as example that we have rights to be greedy and harsh in our road to arise. Even if she was mean, even if she lost a lot... she put her ambition and dignity before anything.
It is very hard find a character with so much personality, so aware of its own limitations and desires, so capable to continue when its decisions lead it into disaster. Hye Ran knows what means asume consequences of life and charge them on her own shoulders without any embarrassment. She lived for herselft, but also lived for her news, wicht means that she lived for truth. The question is, does she regret it?
However, I will thanks to Kim Nam Joo for gave life to Hye Ran. Damn, this woman has passed six years out (of small screen) and returned to performance an apassionate character with extraordinary ability. To me, she deserves a big prize, this will be a great hit drama just because of her. Call me fangirl, she was so stunning and gorgeous that I'm still excited.
Misty recreated life's worst look. It teach that all of us walk always pushing others trying to survive, but also exist many people trying to take us down. This is a (man- corrupted) world where our paths are full off painful betrayals, sharp fights and sad burdens. But at last, you only live for today.
