About

You’ll likely enjoy this sweeping, emotional ranch-and-war drama if you want romance and family loyalty with a big tearjerker feeling; Not for you if you dislike long, melodramatic stories or get frustrated by complex timelines, and it may feel similar to Cold Mountain or The Bridges of Madison County.

Pros: epic family drama; stirring war/romance; beautiful period atmosphere | Cons: long, dragging pacing; melodramatic tone; confusing timeline
