Missing 9: Even if Chanyeol came back to life, it could be disappointing.​
 

In MBC’s Wednesday, Thursday mini series Missing Nine 14th episode, Jeong Kyung-Ho and Choi Tae-Joon fought, which was won by Jeong Kyung-Ho. Judging from the last two broadcasts from this week, there was still a chance for two plot twists .

The biggest twist of Missing Nine was caused by two things. Firstly, the death of Jae-Ho was discovered through the CCTV evidence inside of Ryu-Woon’s phone.

From episode 15 and 16, if we continue to follow the story from the past events, another twist could have happened: new information could be revealed from inside Ryu-Woon’s phone or another missing member could return causing the current situation to shake up again.

Because the possible results of episode 16 fight was completed in episode 14, the only person who has vanished and yet to return is Chanyeol, which brings interest on whether or not he would return. Of course, Ryu-Woon could come back to life as well. Even if the dead body was checked, it was someone else. However, the great setting of Missing Nine still makes the idea possible.

Could Chanyeol come back to life? Why should we focus on this problem?

One of the reasons why Missing Nine maintains a low audience rating is because of curiosity and expectation that Chanyeol will return to life. If that’s so, is Missing Nine only for Chanyeol? (t/n:meaning that he’s was the center of attention that’ll bring viewers) Outside of Chanyeol being in Missing Nine, there’s nothing much left.

If audience isn’t focused on Chanyeol’s survival and return, we’re they only focused on him during the drama activities? If Chanyeol was the one to cause his own death, he would have had a match with Choi Tae-Joon.

cms_temp_article_08122231761665.jpg 

Chanyeol took the initiative in playing the role of Lee Yeol, who is sometimes on the fence about Choi Tae-Joon. Even though the story of Missing Nine received comments from viewers, because the actors are given praise for their excellent performances, Chanyeol’s acting skills could have matured during the drama. (t/n: meaning that Chanyeol’s acting could have improved if he kept working with them and brought his character back to life)

After episode 15 and 16, it’s both possible that Chanyeol is alive or not. Even if he came back, both Lee Yeol and Chanyeol will be lost because of the show’s low impact. (t/n: meaning it won’t do the show any good since they already have low ratings, bringing him back who be kind of useless and in some way using his popularity)

cms_temp_article_08122236599570.jpg 

If Chanyeol doesn’t come back to life, was Chanyeol’s role for Missing Nine only supporting?

Unless the character’s sudden disappearance was caused by a disagreement between the drama’s writer and production team about a story change, Chnayeol’s character was never mentioned again in the 5th and 6th episode. His death or disappearance isn’t clearly shown which does not match with the main plot of Missing Nine.

Just like a blacklist of unmentionable names, Chanyeol’s character was lost in the CRT and is living in secret. (t/n: the author is referring to cathode ray tube that’s built inside TVs, implying that his character was lost in the TV and never came out) If it did finish this way, it can be said that Chanyeol’s role in Missing Nine was a short-term supporting role.


cms_temp_article_08122242205071.jpg 

If Chanyeol’s character wasn’t an important role to begin with but just a special cameo, he should have disappeared right after the first two broadcasts. Since then, imagine what would have happened to Missing Nine viewings when Chanyeol’s support voiced their thoughts through SNS sites.

cms_temp_article_08122248057019.jpg 

Even if Chanyeol came back to life, it’s already too late.

From the 6th episode review, there was a chance of Chanyeol’s return. If he returned, the 8th episode could have been the best for it. If not, he should have returned in the 9th or 10th episode. Even if he didn’t return, there still needs to be a clear reason why. Without any mentions, both cases missed an opportunity. Even if Chanyeol was still alive, would the viewers be happy?

When the viewers’ expectation is high, the plot twist should have been revealed. In a point in time, a scenario caused by a plot twist would be given a score. (t/n: referring to how plot twists can improve the series and increase ratings because it add more suspense and interest) However, these days viewers can easily tell plot twists from betrayal. The same goes for viewers in movies.

cms_temp_article_08122252507862.jpg 

Plot twists are viewed as true plot twist only when they contradict each other. There could still be two plausible stories if you can put another twist on an existing plot twist. If you already know each twist then the story is pointless. So, viewers are feeling a sense of betrayal from the show rather than the story’s plot and getting joy from it. Rather than a dull plot twist, there are many cases when it’s more helpful to maintain the box office (t/n: meaning that it’s just better to make a show that’ll make money rather than making one with a boring story).

Even when lovers are separated, there’s still a possibility the the person’s heart will clear up and reach their hand out again. Once you’ve resolved everything and made up you mind, it’ll be too let to meet again. Why they won’t meet again is only because there are no words left to say. (t/n: not sure why the author said something like this, but they mean that while there’s still a chance to do something don't wait until it’s near end or finished all together. If Chanyeol’s death was still up in the air surely they could have done something to satisfy both the story and viewers.)

cms_temp_article_08122258269449.jpg 

Even if he came back, Chanyeol should have returned when the audience’s attention was gaining more suspense. The fact that this happened to everyone else in Missing Nine raises suspicions.

While some viewers think there’s not a drama as interesting as Missing Nine during its run, some people don’t understand why the show has gotten so many comments. However, Missing Nine is a drama with many good sides even if it’s not all of it. Therefore, there is slight regret in what could have happened in Missing Nine if all the details, story plot and audience’s interest were maintained and put together perfectly.

Speaking of supporting roles, I think Cao Lu was supposed to be one too right? and her character is called... Chae Min? but she only appeared in like... the 1st ep? when she was kinda quarrelling with 2 other girls. After the plane crash they're all gone disappeared lol I remember during 1 of the press conference in the drama it was mentioned that there are actually 30 or 40++ ppl on the plane and most of them is found dead and she's one of them lol now I think she's more of a cameo now imstupid.png

 

Why do I have a feeling Chanyeol being cut off is more of like the directors think him coming back doesn't make sense with how the drama has progressed so there's that lol

No I meant considering there was those pics of him with the woman on the beach plus I heard that the drama was supposed to be 20 eps (?) but in the end it was only 16 eps. So I thought if it was intentionally 20 eps beforehand then there might be enough time for him to come back and be included in the storyline till the end with everyone. If not then I wonder if the scene of him with the woman on the beach wasn't part of the drama at all and it was for something else lollol 0u0plz.png

hmmm it could be... or maybe it's because Chanyeol's busy schedule? but not likely... since the drama was supposedly to be finished filming before 1st broadcast right?

Chinese Vers??

 

 

  • Cont... It will be a romantic comedy! It will be a totally different story. The release date is still not decided. Most of it has already been filmed and the additional filming is all there is left. The air date will be decided after filming is done. .

It was suppossed to be cancelled but I don't know what's going on.... Could be Chanyeol's fans preassuring so they get the drama? 

 

I think it could be like the first 5 episodes of the korean Missing 9 and then when Taeho "kills" Lee Yeol and leaves him on the water, Lee Yeol ends up in another island with a girl and the story is centered on them. Or that's what I thought when I knew about this last year. 

To be honest almost any ending could be better than what we got. The drama was good until they scaped from the island unimpressed.png
