Lolness, this was one of the stories where I do agree that the best sol’n was well, murder-suicide. It was just a really messed up ending as Sihyun got what he wanted, Kyunghee dependent and tied to him. (￣へ￣）

Look, I agree that not every story needs to have a happy ending, but the managemet of the story the author did was just poor planing. In my opinion, all three characters deserved to be punished, not only two of them and especially not letting the guy that started all this mess go about his life like nothing happened, with the addition of being the only one that got what he wanted to boot.
There can be awful stories that are good, like killing stalking for example. But this? This wasn't one of them.
To be honest I would've been happier with the story if all three of them just died. The mother was the only somehow-likable character in this clusterfuck, and it's pretty gross that they decided that she'd be the one to die. You want a better ending? Let the guy kill the old bastard, and then let him go completely crazy and kill the protagonist and then himself. Even cliché is better than this.
Salt over, sorry.
