Okie since loons is not here and I am not getting the starting point, I am going to talk about why I love GA and especially MerDer so much in this post...which is basically reply to all your posts pals!
Maybe Grey's Anatomy is not the best show, maybe MerDer are not the best couple but for me they are because they are so much of hope, and gives me so much of happiness...there is no boundary to that! I love Ashi-Yuvi and yes if you ask me to compare, AY will still have a lil upper hand for me but I cannot compare Ashi-Yuvi and MerDer because they both are different and unique in their own way! All the couples I have loved after AY, it is because of AY...but MerDer...I didn't see any connection between AY and MD but yet I started loving MerDer...because they have the same vision of love that I see in Ashi-Yuvi...or rather I should put that Ashi-Yuvi made me see! Meredith is not a happy girl that you will fall in love with...there is too much darkness to her which most of the time makes her to take wrong decisions in her life. All her life she has been deprived of love, deprived of warmth, and her mother always made her feel that she was just an ordinary women! When she loved Derek, her mother just told her that there is no such thing as love and gave her this fear...which is why she her fears overpowers her faith on love!! She stops believing in love!! And believe it or not, it is our family background, our lifestyle, our friends that influence how we behave and who we are!
And that is what I love the most about this show...they just didn't become like this...there was a reason for Meredith to be dark and twisty...to not believe in love, in eternal...forever love...in soulmates! Same goes with Izzie, Alex, George, Derek, and Cristina! I haven't been revealed much to Alex's past except this last episode that I saw where I learned that Alex has to take care of her psychotic mother when he was very young...and which is the reason why he always has this facade of being an ass! Izzie has gone through a lot which makes her soo optimistic!! Its beautiful in this show how their past, present, and future influence who they are as humans, as doctors, as lovers, as friends, as teachers!!
And same is with Meredith...she is a person without love, who doesn't believe in fairytale until Derek came to her! She began believing in fairytale...eternal forever but she than learns that Derek is married...and all these love that she got in that one year seems all fake...she is unable to trust Derek yet she goes back to him when he confesses his feelings! That day me and loons were talking that Ashi never went back to Yuvi even when she knew they both loved each other, and they grew...and so we were like, is this right? Is this how its supposed to be? And than yes, for Meredith it was!!! Her childhood was so deprived of love that she was just looking out to fall in love again, except whenever she started gaining her faith back towards love...her mother came and snatched it away! And Meredith, even if she won't accept, is hugely influenced by her mother and respects her a lot! She idolizes her mother!! So when her mother says stuff like you are just ordinary and you can never be a good surgeon, and there is no such thing as love...Meredith lost her faith all over again! She trusts Derek as a person but she was unable to have faith on L-O-V-E!
As for Derek...I don't think I need to talk about him coz he may seem perfect from outside but he is not really perfect! He makes mistakes, he regrets but he does what he thinks is right! He has morals, which obviously comes from a good family background! So when he had to choose between Addie and Mer, he chose Addie because he thought that is the right thing to do...He didn't follow his heart and there, he is not perfect...he rather followed what is right...until he realized that however much he tries to save his marriage, its already broken...and there is nothing he can do about it! Derek is an optimist while Mer is not...and it is beautiful that how Derek brought this optimism in Meredith! And actually what is beautiful is that it was not only because of Derek that she started believing in love...it was also because of her mom, who snatched away her faith on love!
I love this show because it has layers to everything! No one is perfect, but they are right in their own way! They make mistakes and learn from it...and growww!! I do see Ashi-Yuvi in Meredith-Derek, except I don't! They make me wonder because their essence is so like Ashi-Yuvi, yet their storyline is completely opposite! Their story is more dark and twisty than it seems, it has lots of depth that we can see on the surface...it is one invisible love story which I love to see! Meredith-Derek aren't perfect, but they are there...they are there for each other, for their friends, for their loved ones...they are there to be each other's strength, to be each other's faith, to be each other's hope, to be each other's success! They turn other's failures into success and that is why I love them! They fight for each other's dreams and that is why I love them!
And above all...THEY MAKE ME HAPPY!!!
