Marinette has a happy home life, surrounded by two warm, loving parents; her main emotional melodrama stems from her own stereotypically girlish trepidation about telling the boy she loves her true feelings about him, wherein she even proactively undermines her opportunities to let the truth come out. Really no great challenges here, if she would just stop sabotaging herself.

Adrien, on the other hand, after a largely lonely childhood, has a strained relationship with his cold, distant father, and is suffering the heartache of the "loss" of his mother, while an emotional "sword of Damocles" hangs over him with the potential discovery that said father is the villain who has been terrorizing Paris (and even the world). Far more plot depth here!
