Ah I hate childhood connection trope

It's just a minor pet peeve of mine. I really don't like the destined since childhood trope. Even if they don't exist in the original adaptations will forcefully add them. Especially prevalent in k dramas. Is it so difficult to believe that people can just meet and grow to love each other. Why this extra spice of they met in childhood and formed a connection thing every single time.
Like just why. It's become so overused that audience are starting to dislike it.

    I thought the same.
    It's also totally irrelevant in this story because both already fell in love without even knowing about their past meeting.

    So unnecessary ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    I was confused bc this trope doesn’t exist in the novel, they’d never met as kids, and when I saw that I thought I had dementia

    yeah me too honestly glad someone else feels that way. Like... we don't need this shit bruh. Doesn't add anything to the story. I'd also argue that Aria being half noble is also unnecessary. Like the whole thing is that she does all this despite being a noble smh, but maybe it has to do with explaining her powers also...
