About
You may like this if you enjoy old-fashioned, high-emotion dramas about scandal, sacrifice, and downfall, especially if Framed or Witness to Murder appeal to you; Not for you if you dislike slow, highly melodramatic stories.
Pros: emotional tearjerker; strong lead performance; gripping melodrama | Cons: very soapy tone; slow at times; plot holes
