Extremely funny in places but boy was it a long & drawn out slow burn to marriage
In a nutshell, this is the story of two people, love at first sight and the loooooong and drawn out road to their happy ever after admidst a palace with more intrigue than an episode of Traitors with Claudia Winkleman..
There’s lots to like about this drama :
*. The production values are excellent, the acting and actors were really believable and had great chemistry and there are an absolute wealth of fabulously funny scenes..
*. The plot twists and turns - at one point there were 3 men vying for the FL’s attention, 4 or was it 5 wedding proposals, sleazy/ shady characters, bad guys that changed allegiance as often as I change my socks and an adorable family who made the FL their personal saviour - made much of this drama eminently watchable.
*. The bad guys got their just rewards, justice was served and not a single good guy was sacrificed to the gods of shock value.
The not so good bits:
*. The story line was so long and drawn out that I was beginning to lose the plot and all based on the ‘will they won’t they’ and ‘this could be the last time we ever see each other’ trope said in various guises AT LEAST 3 times
*. The number of characters that suddenly changed their personalities over night, especially towards the end was ridiculous and frankly unbelievable and the phrase ‘well I never saw that coming’ was something I thought to myself - but not in a good way.
Would I watch it again?
Definitely not, however, if you’re looking for something light hearted with little brain strain then this could be right up your alley.
