Sinekatalog’s take

A lavish period drama about a woman who defies expectation after learning the truth of her origins. It blends romance with an eye for art and tradition. Appealing to those who enjoy sumptuous, character-based historical dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
