What Is #Love About?
The story pits two opposites against each other. Tara is a driven young startup founder who believes in compatibility and built her dating app, FOUND, on that idea. Matthew is a suave, flamboyant investor who backs a rival app, Find My Bae, which champions chemistry. When their philosophies collide, they challenge each other to settle the debate once and for all.
Meet the Leads
Aishwarya Lekshmi plays Tara, who she describes as emotionally layered, ambitious and hardworking. She has built her career on the belief that love can be figured out, until life throws in the one variable she can’t control. The actress admitted the role felt personal.
Arjun Das plays Matthew, and he was drawn to the character’s stubbornness about chemistry. In his view, Matthew is a hopeless romantic hiding behind a chilled-out exterior who thinks “compatibility” is just a fancy word for people afraid to take a real chance.
The Vision Behind the Show
Director Balaji Mohan, known for Maari, first described the series as a modern take on the classic “opposites attract” idea. He says it’s meant to feel like today’s world, where the way people meet has changed but the emotions in relationships remain familiar and timeless. Friendship, family, ambition and self-discovery matter just as much as the romance itself. Netflix has even tagged the show “Swoonworthy,” a category usually dominated by K-dramas.
Why It’s Worth Watching?
The chemistry-versus-compatibility setup is relatable, especially in the age of dating apps, and two charismatic leads give it a strong hook. Want to learn more about the star?
