      Who is the protagonist?
      What is the his/her goal?

      it is a cool idea for romance genre,
      however there must be something more impersonal than their respective careers because this conflict implies a binary solution ie., they either choose career, or love.

      But that’s not the case. There are many super busy couples in healthy relationships.
      And if that is the case, it needs to be spelled out – with that momentum – in the logline. Other than that it’s a super cool idea,
      good luck SSalvatore!!

      Like Variable, I can’t tell who the story is about.

      Which of the main characters is the protagonist?

      As a boy meets girl story this needs a clear force that keeps the lovers apart, what is it that prevents these two from being together?

      Agree with variable.

      A standard feature of the romance genre is an obstacle that stands between the two lovers, a complication that threatens to render asunder what the screenwriter assays to join together.? The logline needs to lay that card on the table for all readers to see, not keep it close to the chest. As an example, consider a possible logline for the immortal love story, “Romeo and Juliet”.

      When teenagers from feuding families fall in love and secretly marry, they must struggle to reunite after the boy is banished for killing the girl’s cousin.

      In 26 words the logline lays out the obstacle — feuding families — and the MPR (midpoint reversal) that drives them apart after they secretly marrying.

      And take note that? Shakespeare gave the lovers equal billing in the title and equal time and complications in the play.? ?The greatest love story every written has dual protagonists? — and it works wonderfully.? So does a more instance of a plot with dual protagonists, “When Harry Met Sally” — one of the best romantic comedies ever.?

      For a romance, I see no reason why the logline can’t have dual protagonists.? It can have only one protagonist — but I don’t believe it is mandatory.

      fwiw
