About
You may like this if you enjoy tragic period romances and the sweeping social drama of War and Peace or Anna Karenina (2012); Not for you if slow, melancholy classics and restrained emotion test your patience.
Pros: elegant period atmosphere; gorgeous costumes and sets; strong central performances | Cons: often slow-paced; emotionally distant at times; romance can feel muted
