Romance short films, told in chapters

The look is cinematic and the settings are big. A moonlit gothic manor with a black-and-white marble ballroom, oak doors and a red velvet bedroom behind a barred window, in The Duke Who Waited Two Hundred Years. A ruined cathedral full of candles, ash and broken stained glass, in The Fallen Angel Who Chose Me. Glass towers, rain and a restaurant at midnight, in His Terms.

Put together, each series runs from a couple of minutes to just under half an hour. My Frog Prince and The Last Kingdom of Light take a few minutes; The Fallen Angel Who Chose Me is six episodes, about five minutes; The Duke Who Waited Two Hundred Years is twelve episodes, around fifteen minutes; His Terms is seventeen episodes across two parts; Bound to the Angel of Death is eighteen. Most dark romance series are complete, so you can watch start to finish; the newer ones are still adding episodes.

LOVBIRD develops its own original stories, characters and productions, with AI supporting the filmmaking. Viewers must be 18 or over to use LOVBIRD. They are shot vertically, so they fill your phone screen, but they play in any browser.
