Im really sad to drop this as I've been excited to watch this for the cast and waited for it to be complete so i could binge watch - in the end i didnt even get past ep 10.

I'm especially disappointed with the writing of FL. In the first episodes they showed us her strong personality and quick wits. I loved the episode where she quickly figured out the arsonist. That episode promised me a smart independant woman with quick thinking, also one who would bite back if she was wronged.

Throughout the next few episodes she kinda felt dumbed down (save for when she built her businesses). I especially hoped to see the quick witted woman again in the episode when the Priggish scholars spread rumors about her, instead she came out like a fool after trying to deal with them. So what do you do when others wrong you? Go to hubby dearest of course and that's how it was handled, even though she was perfectly capable of doing so herself. Which brings me to another point.

So after the episode where she was WRONGLY flogged, she tries to divorce ML. In my opinion, she should've tried harder. She had so many chances to run from him, especially when he was down and injured. Even if it wasn't him who ordered her to be flogged, she THINKS it was him and she's so very valid for feeling angry and humiliated. She shouldn't have gotten over it and forgiven him so easily. She basically got flogged for NO REASON at all and they just sweeped it under a rug. I dont know if it's mentioned later on in the drama again but that should've been a bottom line, he should've had a harder time earning her love (even if it wasnt his doing she THINKS so and thats the main point).
