LOL well if people are only waiting to see the romance, then sure anything goes.
In my personal opinion, there isn't much point to the romance if the basis is not built up well...if characters don't behave within their original characterization.
As someone very aptly mentioned in one of the replies here...the INTENSITY is not being executed well...it's there on paper in the story but the actual scenes play out like two teenagers in school confessing their love...the gravity and depth of the storyline isn't coming through.
And all the random romance in the world won't save the show long term if the characterization isn't taken care of...romance looks superficial and ineffective if it's not well built up.
Agree. The INTENSITY of the love story is completely missing. The expectation was Impossible Love in the face of Odds . I have not seen that till now so not sure what the future can bring.
