Rewatch Value 3.0

Pretty but lacks in story/plot & main characters are flat=awkward & unsatisfying

Great:
-The gardens/flowers are beautiful
-Costumers/hair/makeup are fantastic (though stolen which is a shame)
-Supporting characters are very relatable and real, I am more interested in them overall
-Setting/stage is very beautiful with wonderful details
-The humorous scenes are really funny and the best part of the story

Ok:
-Main characters are flat but acceptable, some instances it feels like they were told to act a certain way despite what a 'real' person would do in the same plot/situation. I'm giving the main actors the benefit of the doubt on this
-Main plot is boring and reused - woman stuck in loveless marriage 'escapes' and tries to start a new life which comes with stereotypes and drama

Bad:
-Zero rewatch value
-Music is EXTREMELY forgettable and boring
-WTF WAS THAT ENDING? WAS THAT EVEN AN ENDING? This made it seem entirely pointless in watching at all
-What happened to the X husband and his story line? NO CLUE! Never resolved.

Overall: Skip it and watch Blossom in Adversity if you want a story about a woman/group of women fighting to survive, succeed and life their own lives
