To add to what @Sirtel and @maddz wrote: I can't roll my eyes enough when love is the driving force behind a character's actions.
Sure, passionate love is great when it happens in real life, but it turns into a narrative crutch for me when it's the only reason anyone would do something, or the only thing that there's a conflict or story in the first place.
It's a trope in dire need of retirement, for me.
