Why do the writers have to make the lead actor a jerk, especially when the movie is all about two people getting back together after a long time? Why would she want him? When she returns, he says it's all in the past-- their former relationship and her leaving him without saying a word. It's all water under the bridge. But it isn't. He is resentful and mean spirited and a jerk. Everything gets better with the event that ties the movie together, but then he has to let his true character show again by pushing her away and acting like it's her leaving him. He told her to leave, and then said she was doing it again! What a self-pitying poor baby. Why on earth would she even want to get back with this guy? But she does. Typical Hallmark--the reasonable one sucks up to the jerk so they can live happily ever after.
The writers of Hallmark movies should be able to do better than this. Or Hallmark should hire new writers. Or is this template sent down from above? "Write a movie with a silly plot line that is totally unnecessary for the mood we're trying to set."
