When Narcissists Fall in Love

Two self-centered people found their lives continually intersecting, causing all sorts of havoc to their individual plans.

The Good:
• The leads were attractive and had charisma. The actors were excellent in their roles.
• The friendships were warm and believable.
• The sane love triangle with the FL was managed well and resolved in an adult fashion. The insane love triangle with FL was unhinged, and the viewer was left to decide how it ended.
• The love story evolved naturally; we knew and understood why the couple loved one another.
• The feel-good ending gave me that hit of dopamine that I look for in a romcom.

The Bad:
• I dislike manipulation and lies, so it was difficult for me to appreciate the FL. I understood her, but I couldn't overlook how she used people, including making one fall in love with her. Both she and the ML spent far too long lying to one another; it was tiring. They really needed some remedial communication counseling.
• A smart person would realize cutting a ridiculously long fuse in half (with the nearby sword lying handily in reach) would end the threat of a gunpowder explosion.
• The villain was over-the-top. I never understood his obsession.
