Something In The Rain - Tumblr Posts

Ugh, this was so beautiful. So realistic & heartfelt. Made me 😢 😭

“Joon Hee, it’s me. When I had your cellphone, I suddenly thought of something I wanna say to you.”

If this isn’t a perfect description of my life I don’t know what is...

Question: Am I missing something or does the FL from Something in the Rain only exist to torture this man? Because my goodness she is so frustrating and I only have three more episodes to go.

So, after breaking up with the ML in probably the most spectacularly humiliating way possible, the FL shows up at his door oh so casually as if nothing is wrong.

"You're really angry, aren't you? I miss you."

She doesn't acknowledge anything that has happened in the past 72 hours like how she:

Demeaned their relationship by going on a blind date with another man;

Went behind the ML's back to meet with his birth father who he had gone no contact with for years because the man had abandoned him and his sister shortly after their mother died, moving to another country to start his "real" family;

Invalidated his feelings by suggesting he is immature for not wanting to connect with his father who, again, is a dead beat who left his older sister to raise him alone;

Disrespected his wishes once again by allowing said dead beat to get so shit faced drunk at her house that she was “forced” to ask the ML to come and pick him up;

Subjected him to even more verbal abuse from her vicious social-climbing mother who just a few weeks earlier had beat him and told him he wasn't good enough for her daughter...

And instead asks if he has tea in the house.

My face exactly, Joon-hee.

She somehow spontaneously gains a shred of empathy and FINALLY apologizes, explaining that she just wanted to "end a hectic situation". The ML, who must be a saint, acknowledges the situation and tries to share his feelings about what happened:

ML: I told you I understand that. FL: You are mad at me. ML: Even if things were difficult, you shouldn't have said that we should break-up. FL: At that moment I was angry. ML: I get it. Fine. FL: You're not fine. (pouts like a child)

Emphasis on the "tries" because when he starts sharing his frustrations and how worried he was about her during that fight with her mother, she skirts the issue:

ML: Do you know how I felt just now? FL: (Nods) I do. ML: Sure you do. FL: It was my mistake. I won't do it again. (smiles coquettishly) ML: Don't try to end the conversation. FL: When people get angry, they tend to say things they shouldn't. It's not like you don't make mistakes.

And then cuts him off because the "kettle started boiling".

Once she moves her emotional manipulation to the kitchen, she asks:

FL: Since the water is boiling, can we have ramyeon? ML: Why are you acting like this? FL: I'm too hungry. I don't have the energy to get scolded.

He picks out a pack of ramyeon, which she petulantly rejects and signals for him to pick another flavor. He does, shaking his head in disbelief, before heading to the closet to create some distance.

She then calls to him from the kitchen, "am I going to eat ramyeon by myself?"

This is the image of a man defeated.

Sir, I really don't understand how you're justifying to yourself that she's worth it. She has the emotional intelligence of a gnat.

FL: I said I'm sorry. I want to make it up to you, but I don't know how. That's why I'm being like this. ML: I'm trying to talk it out with you. Why do you take it so lightly?

So of course she moves to the bed for more emotional manipulation.

She needs therapy and he needs to grow a spine.

On one hand, I’m impressed that Something in the Rain actually has a complex (and occasionally unlikable) female lead who really illustrates how childhood trauma manifests in unhealthy behavior and thinking well into adulthood.

But I also have never wanted two characters to break up so badly as I do here so that she can work on herself and heal without hurting him so much in the process.

She exhausts me.

Side Note: The ridiculous amount of pouting this grown ass woman does makes my eye twitch.

Dude, she wouldn't even move in with you. How do you expect her to quit her job so she can move out of the country with you?

Something in the Rain is one of those rare dramas where it's a bit too true to life with its maladjusted characters operating purely on trauma responses and the refusal to communicate. The realism is almost triggering lol

KUDOS TO THIS EDIT

There is nothing hotter than grabbing a waist during a kiss, holding heads, tracing bodies, feather kisses, chin tilt.....

AHAHAHHAHAHA

WHEN IS IT EVER GOING TO BE MY TURN!?

Kdramas I have watched

38. Something in the rain

This was always on my list because I like the lead actors and when the trailer played automatically on Netflix I took it as a sign.

All I knew about this show was that it was a noona romance. At first I thought Son Ye-jin's character was going to be a replica of her Personal Taste character- it's not. The relationship between Jin-a and Jun-hui is really cute (especially in the beginning) and I also liked the friendship between Jin-a and Kyung-seon. But my favourite character in the show is Jin-a's Appa. He is so supportive of his kids and all father's should aspire to be that way. He definitely balanced out the mother who just wanted her children to follow her plans. I also liked that they included a sexual harassment at work storyline. Most other shows are about pairing off the people who work together.

What I didn't like: Jin-a meddling in the Seo siblings daddy issues. The soundtrack- I think this is the first time the music in a show annoyed me. I also did NOT like the ending. I know many shows break the couple up in the penultimate episode to have them reunite in the finale but here it just didn't make sense. What exactly changed in the time they were apart? They are just right back to where they were. 🤷

One thing this show did do is make me think about what I would do if the tables were turned. We all root for the fictional pairings but I wonder how I would react if my best friend was dating my significantly younger brother, one that she grew up treating as a sibling.

I would recommend this show to romcom fans (if you don't mind a disappointing ending)

I'm done watching something in the rain and omg I cried sm. The relationship was so raw, complicated/complex, intimate and after a point of time, I hated everyone who gave them a hard time like... this drama reminded me of the movie 'like crazy'. Yet I loved how good the actors are at their job! And thank god haein went back to her. I was like "they endured. Despite it all, THEY ENDURED and thank god"!!!!!!
