I think it's a problem with a lot of romance movies too. Most romcoms, actually. Okay, they fall in love, but why? Because they're both hot? Most of the time there isn't actually a real reason, except that that's where the writers want the story to go, and so it does.
This becomes a huge problem when they go for the "at first they hated each other, but then they fell in love" trope. Just because it worked in Pride And Prejudice doesn't mean it works every single time.
I'm a reader/viewer, not a writer, but from what I can see I'd say the hardest part is avoiding to force the characters, and being able to listen to the story and where it wants to go, even if it defies the original plan.
