The main character and Meghan Markle's character in Suits. They're an archetype of a fairly typical American brand of romance - genuinely hard working but bland beautiful girl is wowed by and falls in love with the 'special'* but misunderstood main male character. She works her ass off whereas he is so naturally gifted that he constantly excels her.

Ugh.

It's a weird dynamic to me because it seems to imply that there's a direct connection between the skill in question and romantic compatibility/success and it's just... weird

Like it feels like it reduces both characters to their skill and interest in the thing that the show is about, which I guess is a pretty typical thing for characters in that genre, but I still think it's bad writing and character work

AYRT It just feels like every pathetic male fantasy ever and it gets played out again and again in a million scripts. Unique and special misunderstood male character (read: how the writers see themselves) gets beautiful girl precisely because of male character's uniqueness and specialness. It feels like there's nothing else to it because there isn't.

Suits' demo was more female than male
