Alina & Mal (Shadow & Bone) - I like them as just friends, I think their strong friendship is beautiful on the show, I heard they get married in the original books and I honestly cannot picture them together as a couple, I don't see any romantic chemistry between them in the show at all, all I see between Alina & Mal is 2 childhood bestfriends, the actors have good platonic chemistry, nothing more. I much preferred Alina with Kirigan/the Darkling, before he was revealed to be the villain, I think Alina has much better sexual chemistry with Kirigan & they worked together much better as a couple...too bad Kirigan is the main villain in the story
