agree that there is definitely a lack of romance in the romantic scenes, which i find extremely frustrating because I watch this show exclusively for the romance. the BS-SI chemistry got me hooked to the show, not the story, direction, production values, etc., which have all been shoddy even from the beginning. various posts discussing this lack of intensity (and a hell lot of hysterics in response) were presented in Appy-Indy's post earlier today, but, of course, that thread was quickly closed. i'm not going to drag that discussion here. but, i'll say that the lack of intensity esp from BS in romance scenes these days has driven me to break my silence on this forum after being a silent reader for months. we waited so long for the love scenes of this hate-love story, but i'm definitely not feeling the intensity of the love, although definitely did feel the intensity of the hate last year. so feel cheated even though we do get the gratuitous love scenes and RVs.
