About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bingeable period-set melodrama with romance, friendship, and workplace intrigue, and don’t mind a modern music vibe; Not for you if you hate soapy twists or want strict historical authenticity like in Valeria.
Pros: addictive drama; strong female characters; engaging romance and intrigue | Cons: modern soundtrack divisive; soap-opera exaggeration; uneven acting and realism
