Powers also relates to the public aspect of breakups. He shares his own experience of going through a public breakup and the difficulties of having his personal life scrutinized by others. Both actors agree that when personal life becomes public, the truth often gets distorted and lost in the media.
“The Perfect Find” follows Jenna as she tries to rebuild her life after a media nightmare. She jumps back into the fashion industry by working for her frenemy’s magazine. It’s a common job for rom-com women, as seen in movies like “Never Been Kissed,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” and the “Sex and the City” series. Union explains that journalists make great rom-com characters because they are natural thinkers and their worldview tends to be bigger. This allows for easier storytelling as they navigate their lives and relationships.
