I barely could watch the whole movie, but somehow made it to the end.
The characters are very cringe-y, and the romance is very "enemies to lovers" Rom-Com cliche.
I mentioned it was cute, because the actors made it look cute for a romance, but the background of the characters and the trauma bond created between them, having to endure so much struggle to be together, I fear, promotes idealization of these types of "we must struggle" romances, which are a little toxic.
This promotes so many misleading ideas that we must struggle in relationships to achieve the true love depicted in the ending. Not saying that relationships should be easy, but you CAN choose to be with an easy, stable person (financially and emotionally) to find more joy and calm in the relationship!
Maybe that was the characters' love story, which I respect, but it just shows that unprocessed trauma attracts unprocessed trauma and can also create love stories, but it doesn't have to be the case for healthy stable people who want create a better life for themselves and their partner.
