I have no issue with character focus, it's that if I wanted to watch a romantic drama I wouldn't switch on trek. Some sprinkling, fine, but it has been front and centre, carried more by music than actual story or character development. You could plot the "ok we want to hit these emotional cues" spreadsheet that they wrote the story around, haphazardly.
SNW also has quite a romantic arc, heck, even a love triangle. I don't mind it there, it's actually done well and serves Spock's character development.
