While staring contest is cheesy and can be weirdly entertaining, ultimately, such love stories often feel half-baked. It does not have the right strength. Here, the falling in love is precipitated by two people who for whatever reason cut through all the noise and reach the pain, the tears. And they are fighting against letting each other into their life in a realistic way. The dynamic is changing but it isn't something either enjoy in some ways.
I also like that we have moments of acting where there is no dialogue, just acting and music to convey expressions. ITV is often loud and there is huge dramatic music where they freeze on everyone's expression. It can be both funny as well as super dramatic. Here, they are allowing for quieter moments - this requires strong acting skills and the actors have the chops for it. So it is good the CVs are using the skills of their team.
Lighting is great and there are interesting frames that happen -- makes it rather poetic.
Bold - Agree 💯. Also, I would put it this way. It's really a pleasant feeling to see the actor 'living' their characters. 😍
