In Brazilian Portuguese, using 'super' as an intensifier is very common in everyday speech, especially among younger speakers. It adds a friendly, informal flavor. However, in formal writing you would replace 'super' with 'muito' or 'extremamente'. Also, note that 'romance' can refer both to the literary genre and to romantic relationships, so context matters.
