[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didnt love the ending.

The only character I felt was happy at the end was Hilary. Got rid of her cheating husband? Check. Got rid of her abusive cheating dad and got her feelings off her chest? Check.

She started wearing colors and got a colorful new rug. I was wondering if her love of beige colors was in some way a rejection of her indian heritage/persona/identity. The first time we see her in colored clothing is at the indian prayer thing. Now that her dad is dead she feels free to re-embrace that part of her identity.

Mercy, ugh. Idk what I feel about her. She is a crappy person who constantly makes bad choices and blames it on the curse (I was so glad when her HK gf called this out). I dont see any growth. 
David was a garbage person throughout and I hated him and hated seeing him on the screen. Dude must be a good actor to elicit this sort of rage lol.

Margaret abandoning her two living children was so wrong to me. I cannot - cannot- imagine the pain of losing a child. But you can't just give up on the ones that are still alive. Her husband wasnt even surprised or sad. Just "Ok fine, bye". He was tired of her sh!t. And where is she gonna live? Her crapshoot apartment?

I'm a bit conflicted at Esse going with the fam, because I really wanted her to be able to go be with her own family. But considering what Margaret did, it's good that Esse is there. And I wonder if that's why she wanted to convince her to go so bad? She doesn't feel as bad abandoning her children knowing that Esse is there to look after them?[/quote]

Oh, please.  Margaret wasn't abandoning anyone.  In fact, she felt she would be abandoning Gus if she left HK, which I can *completely* understand.  Obviously, her husband knows she'll meet up with them in the States.  She just needed a little more time before she felt ready to "leave" Gus.  I honestly don't know if I could ever have left.  [/quote]
I definitely think she is abandoning her two kids. Her husband was praying Gus died so they could all finally move on. He is trying to move on, the two elder children are trying to move on. Margaret is stuck. She can't. She is choosing a ghost over her two living breathing children. [/quote]

[b]She isn't planning on staying in HK.  She just wasn't quite ready to head back to the States.[/b]  Are you one of the posters who insisted Margaret and Hilary were "cruel" and horrible people?   :lol:  Good grief.[/quote]
And how long are her other children going to be without a mother while she stays in HK? It doesnt say how long she's planning to stay or if she is ever planning to come back. Maybe the book says something different, but the show leaves it ambiguous for a reason.

"Without a mother"??  Did you even watch the episode at the airport when she says she can't go back to the States and her husband agrees and says they will meet up with her back home?  Obviously she will be returning.  [/quote]
