Thus, Moon Dong Eun, a woman of few smiles, grows suspicious of sincere affection, with difficulty in physical contact, fears, tendencies to violence and with anxiety attacks.

At a certain point in the series, there is a suicide attempt, and his apparent coldness is actually a kind of protection that hides a very wounded and lonely child.

The series shows that the formation of our personality is influenced by several factors, from creation, dogmas and the environment in which we are inserted. Adolescence is a very important stage for friendships, as it is when you feel like you belong to a circle of people.

In addition, such factors can cause a greater propensity for emotional disorders, such as insecurity, problems in self-esteem, aggressiveness, emotional lability, depression, anxiety, difficulty in social and affective relationships, among others.
