Not for folks who prefer the typical fast-paced super obvious romance. This drama will make you pay attention to the little details, you have to be able to read in between the lines and catch the metaphors being used to describe "love", the little smiles and gestures ...words not spoken. Everything about the drama screams subtlety, from the lead actor's awkwardly cute stiff strong personality to the actress' subtle steps to self realization and of course falling in love.
Others might feel it's too slow but for me, I appreciate the build up, episode by episode, I get to pay more attention to the character's circumstances and what makes them who they are as opposed to the typical in your face descriptions. Cinematography definitely is key in this build up, it extremely inviting and captivating, I couldn't take my eyes off my screen in fear that I might miss something.
If you're looking for a historically accurate account, this isnt for you.
