About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sweet, idealized royal romance with lavish dresses, castles, and gentle humor, in the spirit of The Bishop's Wife; Not for you if you need realism, sharp drama, or complex characters.

Pros: fairy-tale romance; gorgeous scenery and costumes; feel-good mood | Cons: cheesy and predictable; thin character depth; historically inaccurate
