About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sweeping, emotional medieval romance with duty-versus-love tension and some action; Not for you if you dislike tragic, slow-burn love stories or familiar melodrama like The Vow.
Pros: emotional forbidden romance; strong supporting cast; striking locations and battles | Cons: predictable story beats; uneven lead chemistry; pacing can drag
