I went to the cinema with my friend last weekend to catch the new rom-com that was on. I saw a reused plot with alarming gender dynamics but my friend on the other hand found it to be the most “heart-touching” romance ever. At first, I thought ‘Okay, to each their own.’ But then she started fawning over the dashing, debonair (to be read as unrealistic and too good to be true) male protagonist.
