For many, romantic movies are a source of comfort. There’s always a happy ending. The couple always overcomes trials and tribulations and gets together.
The background score is great, the people in romantic movies are pleasant,t and the couple has amazing chemistry.
But let’s face it. In the real world, none of these stories would actually work. The couple doesn’t always get together. Soul mates end up going their separate ways. The people around them may be jealous and not want them to get together.
The trials and tribulations may not be so easy to overcome.
