I agree, the problem is not with Angel Coulby herself. Actually, I do like Angel Coulby and I was relieved that Gwen was not played but beautiful (but flirty cheap ) girl.

I don't like Gwen because of how she was presented. Since the beginning it didn't truly explained how great she was. Since the writers already knew that she will become the future queen and will be so loved by so many characters, they didn't try to make the audience belive that.

The writers just made it all happened in sudden events, first Merlin out of nowhere can kissed her. Second, Lancelot, also out of nowhere falling in love with her. Arthur (the worst) couldn't get her out of his mind (she was not around him that much, right?). Gwaine was very fond of her too. Leon was her childhood friend (was that even explained before or showed in the first season, not a little bit) and ready to risk his life for her. And one of the Knights of The Round Table, Elyan was related to her.

Although she was so loved by so many people, in the show she didn't do much right? I mean she didn't really give great/wise ideas/suggestions, she didn't save somebody's life, she didn't sacrifice anything big, she just always around. That is what I really didn't like about her character. The writers should done better to show that she really deserve to be the future queen, make audience believe that she is amazing and great.
