Beautiful! Spendid!

So, again, disappointing to see people getting paid to put a series down.

This series tackles with many issues such as love, aristocracy, racism, homophobia, power politics and relationships.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this but surprisingly it kept me hooked until the completion.

Its a story about a cook who has a nervous disorder or rather a phobia to outdoor spaces. She gets a job as a cook in a duke's house. The duke was mourning the loss of his beloved wife Alba. The whole story is not just concentrating on their budding romance but also on other aspects I described above. There are many characters with deep dark secrets and their stories also forms the crux of this series.

I loved Carla's character. A headstrong woman with her own opinions but at the same time she has compassion for people around her and is fond of the duke. The duke's character is more humane than aristocratic which I really really loved. Not sure about others, but I personally felt connected to the characters in the show which made it more enjoyable.

Please remember, this is based on a book, so don't expect this to be realistic.

I am glad the makers gave a positive ending to this series.

All in all, if you are a sucker for medieval/vintage/Victorian dramas, then this one should not be missed. The English dubbing is not great so try to watch it in the original language.
