I love a good romance. I used to have the same opinion as anon more or less but I've learned to enjoy them, particularly as period pieces. I feel like with historical pieces there are often less contrived reasons for the leads to have a conflict in getting/staying together. But for modern settings and the romantic comedies it's all contrived or of the "I have to work on myself" variety and to be honest I really, really hate the "I have to work on myself" stuff. Like, it's not necessarily bad it just starts reading like take care of yourself and drink water type of thing rather than engaging media to me. While I love a good popcorn type story I'm not the type of person who sits down with something "just for the warm fuzzies" cause I just get bored, since they're pretty predictable and not in the fun way.

It can be hard to find a good romance but I think people often forget that all it takes for something to count as a romance is that the characters' relationship is a main, up front focus and has consequences/plot relevance outside their interpersonal bubble. There are no rules saying it can't be anything else on top of that.
