Rom-coms have become a relic or a thing of the past when it comes to cinema, and getting one every now and then is such a treat. Millennials were raised by romantic dramas and comedies, we have become its number one consumer and our lives were branded and defined by them. That's why even with relationships, they had been our own yardstick when it comes to measuring the kind of love we want. Millennials are now entering their 40's and a lot of us have realized that relationships are not all rainbows and butterflies. We have become jaded of sugar coated happy endings, because in reality they are just really the beginning—we don't see the pain and hardwork in order to keep the fire burning. We are just left alone in the dark. Both characters dive headfirst into their marriage thinking it would be just like those romcoms. Imogen, being a hopeless romantic with her arsenal of k-dramas tried to hold on to their marriage thinking all is well, she just needs to cling to what they have—because that's what a heroine does—they persevere and condone their own pain. She forgot and lost herself in their marriage, completely oblivious about her own dreams and desires. Everything about her personality was now defined by their marriage. As a reflection of her unhappiness, she constantly nags and finds fault in others. It's important to note that, when a person is unhappy (may it be about career, family, relationships, etc) and they don't acknowledge what they feel or they're in denial, as a result, they deflect their own unhappiness into something else, sometimes over things that they don't have control over (like showbiz or politics).
