I'll be fair, I've only seen one episode, so maybe the rest are better. To be honest, the first episode already put me off. Granted, I recently watched Startling By Each Step, which has a very similar plot to this, so I couldn't help but compare the two.
If you're looking for a deep plotted, serious period drama, I wouldn't really watch this. But in all honesty, I can see why people like it as good old light hearted fun.
For me personally, I'm not a fan. From the costumes, to the premise, it's everything I thought 'Startling by Each Step' would be, and thus, not really my cup of tea.
Actors:
I've actually seen many of these actors in other period dramas that I've liked, so it's no fault of theirs that I'm not partial to this one. The leading lady in particular is well known for her acting prowess in other shows and continues to do well here.
Music:
Typical pop, nothing much to say about it there.
Rewatch Value:
...I didn't even make it past the 1st episode once.
Overall:
For history buffs or lovers of deep story lines; no.
For something lighthearted; yes.
For anyone who's watched Startling By Each Step first; no.
I actually wish I'd watched this before and maybe I wouldn't be quite so biased as I am.
