Jim and Pam's Best Friends to Lovers Story - The Office US | RomComs

[@longlivelatinas2472]

"I'm in love with you." "What?" Most realistic answer.

[@marcbucayu]

True, That's what I liked about Office, instead of going with the "I waited for this moment forever lets make out" cliche, they went with a "no imma stay with my fiance and walk out the last minute to show my extreme love for you"

@@marceloaguirree Expecting to get what they have is unrealistic when I have totally different limitations. Plus the relationship just fell into their respective laps. That's the unrealistic part.

[@TheSTPhelps]

Thought that before Pacey and Joey

[@briansaunders2814]

John Krasinski is a great actor. He carried that relationship through many seasons. While everyone contributed, I think he was the heart and soul of the cast.

[@irfinity]

The scene where he says nothing (because of the jinx) and yet says everything is another level of acting.

[@danatosi1250]

Jenna carried the relationship just as much as John did, don’t discredit her

[@Alex_Tribe]

@@danatosi1250 well said, but on many rewatches, it was clear that the relationship was primarily put through Jim's eyes and from his perspective...I mean even till the end. Jim waited for her, loved her through a relationship she outgrew (and that was clearly wrong for her), worked in a dead end job just to be with his love, so Pam shoulf have got on board and moved to Philadelphia..(.i mean he says he was waiting for his wife at his wedding...I believed that he was). Once he got her, the story definitely was about Jim finding happiness in his worklife. Whilst a lot of people love Jim and Pam, I found their relationship unequal and thought and felt much more invested in Michael and Holly's lovely relationship (now talk about best friends & modern love goal); or Angela and Dwight who had a relationship where the power kept shifting until they finally found their peace. I mean he killed Sprinkles...what was he thinking?!😂And she had an affair with hin whilst engaged. Clearly they had stuff to work out! Jim and Pam were sweet but definitely not perfect. I agreed with Michael when he said Jim took it too slow - he should have forced the issue sooner. I also would have liked to see Pam find career success perhaps by finally becoming an artist or something that was cool. I loved that Holly was an active HR person (unlike Toby😂) and Angela was head of the Account department and good at her job! I of course am interpreting this as a modern woman who enjoys work. Pam and Jim were a little too traditional for me so didn't hold up after many watches for me. Found their therapy and relationship issues towards the end realistic cause they clearly never had those hard convos from the start wheras the other couples faced more conflict which they had to overcome.

[@kaytamurray]

@@Alex_TribeI’m on my first watch right now, and right now, I kind of agree. Jim sacrificed more, but in all honesty, those were his choices. Pam never coerced him really, and him and Pam struggled with different things in their lives. (I’m on season 4)

[@jerilane4420]

I think his gutsy I am in love with you to Pam and Pam's beach confession are equally ballsy!! First Pam was engaged when he said his confession and Pam said hers in front of Karen! While all you moralistic keyboard warriors get all bent out of shape over the way they did this I love that they put it all out there and anyone with a gram of common sense knew they should be together. I mean really have you watched the show at all. Every scene they share is like kismet especially the casino kind! I think Jenna and Pam were a huge part of the show's heart but Jim did make the grandest gestures prior to season 9. I do admire Jim and his love for Pam as it is so consistent and deep. I dont think Pam ever feels she is this worthy of such a love even though Jim rarely disappoints her.

[@kierantohill1264]

The moment where Jim steps out of the office in New York after the job interview, looks out at the sky and walks out onto the street while Pam is talking about him always stirs such good feelings

And when Jim retorts 'I'll write YOU up for not working', you can tell in the wonderfully understated way John acted that he conveyed that Jim knew he would propose to Pam and it's the biggest thing he's ever done at that point, but that he needs that weird Dwight/Jim battle to ground him. It's so wholesome after this season as Jim and Dwight become such complicated but awesome allies. Amazing acting in such subtle ways. I had that same plan A.

Bottom line is it’s just a show. Their friendship to relationship story might be far fetched from reality, yet many people fall in love same way. However one must not get carried away thinking this is the only way love should happen. There are hundreds of ways for love to begin and we need to have an open and attentive mind and an open heart to seek those opportunities. Be real and be honest in what you expect and how love can happen.
