Dilemma...
I have this crazy urge to vid Miss Ripley to every Adele song ever. It's kind of crazy how well her lyrics match Myung Hoon's broody, betrayed feelings (and how he just can't stop loving Miri even though she's a completely different person from the one that he thought she was). Just... come on, Take it All is Myung Hoon all the way. And I feel like Turning Tables could sort of be applied to Miri and how she left Myung Hoon in part to protect herself, because she just doesn't believe in unconditional love, which makes it hard for her to trust Myung Hoon. And I thought that Rolling in the Deep would apply 100% to Myung Hoon/Miri, but now it looks like it might end up applying better to Yoo Hyun/Miri (but I still think I could make it work for Myung Hoon/Miri, especially since he was a total iceberg to her in the elevator scene in ep 10). And I seriously hope that Don't You Remember can be applied to Miri by the end of the series (and I want her to be feeling like this toward Myung Hoon. NOT YOO HYUN. Ugh, ugh I still cannot feel the ~true love~ that the press (and fans) are trying to make Yoo Hyun/Miri out to be. It's such a superficial love that I will be pissed if it ends up being the "real" love story. UGH. But see, it's become pretty clear that Myung Hoon is the one who will love Miri for all that she is forever and ever, while Yoo Hyun will get angry and turn away from her, and we all know that the deeply loyal man who treats his lady right in every way never gets the girl in k-dramas. They just don't, and I think this is only the second occasion where that really, really bums me out).
Seriously, Miss Ripley, surprise me! Let Miri realize that Myung Hoon is the one she wants! What attracts her to Yoo Hyun is his insane unconditional love, but it's Myung Hoon's that will be the true unconditional love, and it would just be awesome if Miri realizes this after everything falls apart and she's left with nothing. I doubt that there's a happy ending for anyone in this drama, but oooooooh do I want Miri to end the series actually learning how to love someone (Myung Hoon) and not being able to do anything about it because she screwed everything up. Basically, I want the ending to be her sitting alone in jail looking miserable and pondering her life decisions, and then we see a shadow of someone approach her jail cell and she looks up and we see a small smile. Oh god, actually, that ending would kill me, because I'd want to know for sure who that person was. I don't know, I don't know. GAH, THIS SHOW. I LOVE IT.
In other news, I've caught up with In Plain Sight, and my only real conclusion is that I seriously miss the early days when the show focused so heavily on the Mary/Marshall relationship. I miss them! I mean, they are still buds, and they are still the world's greatest partners, but I miss Marshall's subtle yet completely obvious unrequited love for Mary, and I miss them being each other's everything. And Mary being pregnant is an odd story development. And Brandi still gets the most boring storylines ever. And Stan is still super awesome. And the show itself is still surprisingly well-written (but damn it, I miss the cracky good times of seasons 1 and 2! So much!). Not sure where they're going with this baby storyline, but if it brings us more of Marshall doting on Mary, then I'm happy. And if she ends up keeping the baby and we get a whole lot of adorable Mary/Marshall as makeshift parents scenes, then I am totally down with that, because I am that easy.
