In all my years of romantic or chicklit TV series have I come across a character like Jin-a Yoon of Something In The Rain on Netflix. She struggled with maintaining boundaries, poor decision making & used avoidance which included dishonesty.

I looveeee her character growth.

I wondered why she& #39;d be unnecessarily dishonest with Jun-hin. I noticed other ways she avoided expressing her feelings, conflict, etc, esp. with loved ones. It was a defensive mechanism she used in coping with her overly critical mom. It was a huge communication barrier until..

..she learnt how to set & maintain boundaries, communicate better, prioritise herself, face challenges head on, analyse her feelings, take accountability and not just say empty "I& #39;m sorry". With these lessons she chose to stay in Korea and not avoid her life problem.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">

This decision made me wail till I got an headache, Jun-hin cried, it broke his heart and ended their relationship. It would have been easier to leave behind her disapproving mom, snitching colleagues & her sexual harrassment complaint. But she& #39;d grown! It reminded of this thread

I do love that Jun-hin& #39;s personality, communication skills, advice and live encouraged her to improve but that growth was different from what their relationship needed. Life.
