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.

MR made me think of a jdrama a lot and the ending sort of worked with that (I acually think it would make a decent jdrama).

I am still checking out j!YAB for amusement's sake :)

twdramas - I love their serious ones, their lighter ones are much more hit-and-miss - if they embrace the absurdity and go all meta and post-modern like KO 3an Guo, I am for it, but usually, yeah.

I find that if I am spoiled for an ending, it affects me much less.

Good luck with J!YAB! It was awful enough for me that I can't continue it even for the lulz. I'm one of those people who were crazy enough about the original YAB to buy the limited Director's Cut so I had nothing against the story to begin with.

Ok, I'm off to watch City Hunter 17 now. I didn't click on any of your posts about it yet *willpower mode on* The softsubs from Viki are already available. Faster than Darksmursf!

See, I didn't like YAB at all (well, I did at first, but then like with any thwarted lover it turned into hate) so I am amused at the thought of a remake.
