Lauren didn't get the job she wanted, so she plans to go back home to work with her parents. So, her boss recomends a moving company: enter Rob. Lauren and Rob had met before, at her place of work, where she had thought he was a model (I mean, the man is beautiful, it can happen to anyone). While talking about why she is moving back home, they talk about Seattle, and they make a bet: if she can find three things she likes about the city, he will move her stuff for free.
There, we had an excuse for the leads to spend time together. However it's not the same old plot as always (girl breaks up with boy, girls goes back home, finds and old flame, ex comes back bla bla, you know). In this case, girl is about to move back home, meets boy, and old friend visits her, and realises she likes new boy more. Originality, glad you know the word and remember it once in a while Hallmark.
I liked it. The actress who played Lauren didn't convinced me at first, but turned out to be better than the main actor, he looked uncomfortable, stiff most of the times. She was better (not that this is a competition). There was good chemistry. I also liked the fact that he was trying to encourage her to chase her dreams.
However, I did not like the fact that Rob was willing to do this "long-distance relationship" with her when his last relationship failed because of that. I mean, I know they are attracted to each other and that but they have only known the other two weeks, I hate when they rush it. (I know, they had done it PLENTY OF TIMES).
I hope Hallmark steps out of their comfort zone more (even if it's one tiny step like this and they are still within range) when talking about plot and if it includes more diversity, even better.
