I wouldn't really have a problem with Arthur/Gwen. After all, we all knew it was bound to happen.
I know and the first one or two scenes of set-up for the pairing way back when in Season 1 weren't even all that bad. I think it wasn't before episodes 10 and 13 of Season 1 that the characters had any real, meaningful interaction between them and then Gwen told him more or less what a great king she envisions him to be. But my problem is more that nearly every scene since then had the same gist.
Gwen seems to love some idea she has of Arthur and Arthur...I don't even know. Maybe it's because the actors are not into it, that they can't sell it either. Though actors sometimes have natural chemistry, regardless of behind the scenes feelings. Which, yeah, not so much in this case.
I know Bradley James and Angel Coulby are friends but that's how their characters come across onscreen as well, as friends.
but I actually laughed out loud at the kiss in the end, because it looked like brother and sister kissing.
Heh. Apart from their first onscreen kiss - which wasn't too bad - I don't think any kiss between them ever looked much different than that.
