I think I can see your point.

Maybe it has indeed something to do with the fact that the romance, when resolved, is no longer so dramatic... You know what I mean.

But there is also another circumstance. The screen time is not unlimited, and you have to satisfy everyone watching the series (I believe it is a family show?). :-) I mean, romance may sound great, but you have destinies to fulfill, magic to flash, swords to play with, Merlin/Arthur relationship to unfold, etc. Please don't hate me if I admit to sometimes getting bored by those love scenes; I'm not a complete monster, I'm just different :), not to mention, you know, being a boy (and definitely not the Merlin type crying every epsiode :D). I guess it is a kind of compromise... If there's not enough romance, at least you have some nice handsome knights, often shirtless, to feast your eyes upon. :D Sorry for that, just an innocent joke.
