So, Miss Ripley ended

[dangermousie]

And Miri and YH did not end up together.

No surprise because leaving aside the whole convicted felon/upperclass businessman thing, they are stepsiblings, listed as siblings on the family registry, which is just NONONONOTHAPPENNING ever - I mean, this isn't Piano.

(I kinda love that apparently Miri told YH she did not love him, even though we know she did, because it was such an unselfish thing to do).

It is however making me greatly depressed because I really do think this was Miri's one chance at love and being unquestioningly accepted for who she is and she can't ever have it now. And YH is a lovely amazing person who deserved to be happy, too and will now be majorly messed-up.

Also, apparently nothing bad happened to Miri's mother or YH's father?

Raaaaaaaaaaage. HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!

That is as realistic as Miri and YH not being together so I have no problem from narrative standpoint but from an emotional one I am so pissed and want to go on a murder spree argharghargh that is the most unfair thing ever!!!!!

Ok, in my fantasy world, as elderly monsters are taking a walk, a truck which lost control of its breaks barrels towards them and grinds them into dirt and small body parts. They can borrow said truck from Sang-Do. And eventually, after years of therapy, Miri and YH hook up. Now, isn't that better?

Hey, it could have ended the way Bali did - if I was watching Bali live, I probably would have perished on the spot.

Yeah, do they get bunk beds? :) mmmm, the fanfic - can think up! provided Miri shows up, that is, I don't think she has forgiven her mother.

I really wish she let him know she loved him at the end. Because it is clear she does, but she does not want to cause further agony since there is nothing they could do about their situation. Only she doesn't realize the uncertainty is even more cruel and keeps haunting him.

I wanted those parents to die so badly!!! Also, how dare Dadddy put Miri on the registry? To the last he is thinking only of himself and his wife and what makes them happy. Fine, Miri is nothing to him, but shouldn't he care about his son? They might not have worked out anyway but they would have had a chance - registry puts the nail in that coffin. If he had any conscience, he'd divorce Lee Hwa and apologize to YH (and Miri) and tell YH if he loves Miri he should go after her.

Lee Hwa should have divorced him, IMHO. But heartless beeyotch is too in love with her life to atone for her sins to her ABANDONED DAUGHTER. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I am guessing if Old Song dies, Miri might show up. Imagine the fanfic, plus he's dead. yay!

Lee Hwa's phase of "let's divorce so my daughter can be happy" was notoriously short-lived. /bitter

If Old Song is dead, YH will need consoling :p though she is still on the family registry.

But yeah, my head is exploding at the thought of Miri and YH in the same house having to act as siblings. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu indeed.

I can totally see fauxcest babies fr them and kekeke and made the grannies babysit them everyday. That's some happy awkward atonement.

I'm in the MR doesnt REALLY love YH camp though. The LyingMiRi yes, but the REAL lost MR, no. Her world is sooo warped and reality so blurred that's her aha moment that unless she man up to her own lies and join the others in the real real world, what she has is not love.

Bwahahahahahaha at your scenario.

I do think she loved him. In a traditional way, no idea - she was too messed up. But love is a complex complex thing and encompasses many things - she loved being taken care of, and she loved that he was a good person and wanted to be with him because of it, and was willing to put her life on the line for him. It all adds up to love to me, even if not necessarily traditionally-romantic.

I agree that before she comes to terms with herself, no relationship, not even one with someone as understanding as YH, would work - she is too broken. The problem is, due to the parental issue, YH/Miri could have worked out afterwards, but will never have the chance.
