Prime Video just dropped its adaptation of 'spicy' romance that's perfect to watch this Valentine's Day
The movie is based on a popular Wattpad series from an Italian writer
A new Prime Video drama has dropped just in time for Valentine's Day weekend that's bound to get your pulse racing.
The 'spicy' movie is based on a Wattpad-turned-book-series by Italian writer Stefania S, so you just know it's going to deliver.
Called Love Me, Love Me, it's the latest sport romance drama set to sweep us off our feet.
2026 has been a major year for the genre (and we're not even two months in), with HBO's Heated Rivalry and Netflix's Finding Her Edge grabbing attention.

While those two dramas follow ice hockey and ice skating respectively, Prime Video's new adaptation introduces us to the world of MMA fighting.
Love Me, Love Me follows June (Mia Jenkins), who moves to Milan, Italy for a fresh start after the death of her brother.
At her new elite school, she takes a shine to James (Pepe Barroso), a charismatic but troubled boy involved in underground MMA fights.
Despite her attraction, she begins dating his best friend, Will (Luca Melucci), who is the perfect honor student.
But of course, it wouldn’t be a Wattpad adaptation without plenty of drama.
"However, appearances are deceiving, and June soon discovers that no one at her school is as they seem-everyone is hiding a secret," the Prime Video synopsis reads.
"As tensions rise and hidden truths come to light, June must decide to whom her heart truly belongs."
Rounding out the cast is Andrea Guo as Amelia, June's classmate and friend, as well as Michelangelo Vizzini, Madior Fall and Vanessa Donghi.
The original novel, titled Cuori Magnetici - that's 'magnetic hearts' in Italian - is described as 'spicy dark romance,' according to GoodReads.
Some 24 million users read the Wattpad series before it was snapped up by Italian publishers.
The film's trailer - which you can watch below - teased some high-stakes fight moments, cutting between the chaos of the MMA ring and June’s increasingly complicated love life, set against the glossy background of one of Italy's chicest cities.
Commenting on the Love Me, Love Me's YouTube trailer, one person described the flick as 'Maxton Hall meets Culpa Mia,' referring to Prime's German-language enemies-to-lovers series and the platform's Spanish romance drama respectively.
"Yes, I have seen this trope 50 thousand times. Yes, I will watch it again," somebody else commented.
"This is more Wattpad coded than Wattpad itself," another quipped.
Love Me, Love Me is streaming now on Prime Video.
