Love is patient, love is kind, love is nothing like what you expect, and love hurts. Many of the relationships in Crazy Rich Asians are not based on love, but rather "mergers" between families or ways of securing the family's fortune. As a result, true love seems difficult to find.
Okay, maybe it's not difficult to find, but it's not prioritized. Who cares if you're in love with an accomplished young woman? If her family is from the wrong part of the world, you gotta let her go. As a result, the dynamic of love is fraught with casualty within families, marriages, and other relationships.
