When we were younger, most of us learned what love and relationships were by watching Disney movies where the princesses would fall head over heels with the Prince Charming whose only accomplishments were being rich and creepy. Lots of smooching, getting married the next day, and then living happily ever after. That was the plan.
But as our brains developed more, we watched characters like Jim and Pam going from friends to lovers in an office full of weirdos. We can’t help but get emotionally attached to these characters, and even years later, we still get butterflies in our stomachs.
1. Emily and Gabriel—Emily in Paris
For four seasons, Emily (Lily Collins) has been torn between work and hectic private life in Darren Star’s hit series. Not so long ago, Netflix renewed “Emily in Paris” for a fifth season, in which our beloved Emily will have to head the office of the “Grato” agency in Rome. But wherever fate takes her, in Emily’s heart, there will always be a hot chef and owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant, Gabriel, played by French actor Lucas Bravo.
2. Daphne and Simon—Bridgerton
He is a handsome duke with a tragic past. She is a naive young girl who dreams of finding love and her place in society. What began as a witty agreement on a fake relationship has turned into a stormy romance that millions of viewers are now eagerly following. Over time, the characters have proven that they are willing to give up almost everything just to be together. And it is a pity that the tight shooting schedule will not allow Rege Page, who plays Duke Simon Hastings, to appear in season 4 and onward.
3. Jon Snow and Ygritte—Game of Thrones
Usually, when we think of GoT, we remember the juicy drama and hardcore action, but all eight seasons are also densely packed with love subplots. But why does the romance between Jon Snow and the red-haired savage from beyond the Wall evoke such strong emotions in us? Maybe because their touching relationship is like a fiery flower that bloomed in the middle of an icy desert despite all odds. Perhaps it’s because the chemistry between Kit Harington and Rose Leslie was exceptionally strong. It’s no wonder this wonderful on-screen couple got married in real life.
