In the last few years, per Collider, the rom-com genre made a comeback, with several productions across streaming platforms telling cute, romantic stories. Most of the genre's love stories tend to be idealized, and many of them make the audience wish for something like that to happen to them as well. One of the reasons why this movie genre hooks audiences is that it portrays romantic relationships as fun, dreamy, and perfect despite their imperfections. It generally follows the classic formula: the main characters have a tender meet-cute moment, they have instant chemistry, they part ways for some reason, and finally they meet again, all set to unleash their love story. The romantic comedy genre has been very popular all throughout the history of cinema.
