Hi peeps,

Have been waiting anxiously to watch this series. Like many people I haven’t read the novel but the FL:ML is the reason why I’m watching so I’ll give my 2 cents on the series thus far: please be warned of small spoilers ahead.
(Will aim to keep minimum promise)

STORY: I know some may find the slow, but I love it. It develops the characters more and gives the audience a real feel of what’s to come so when it happens OMG effect. In terms of ML:FL interaction, honestly very little so hard to say here. In terms of development of story, I find it amazing how a cold hearted guy that fears no one even royalty is actually quiet similar in mindset as the FL, where she fears no one in her family especially her mother. (Personal note I’m hating on FL mother atm, she’s so one sided and shows no love for her own she hasn’t seen for 15 years, her way of teaching and doing what’s best is absolute shhhiat - subjective view here).

UPDATED: From episode 10 onwards the story changes and gets very in-depth. Main FL uses all her instincts and tact to stay alive whilst ML uses his experience and skills to save FL. (will update more as more eps come out)

ACTING: I couldn’t believe how fast Rosy can speak like omg, also I loved her character, I’m so used to seeing her in other roles where she is the cute and whitty one, not in the series, wow she can act, can be cunning and strategic just to survive. I wasn’t expecting to see this side of her at all. As for ML, his dominance is just amazing, very cool persona and he can act too, wish he had more screen time. However I’m sure that will come later in series. The supporting cast is great too I love how the servants played out and all other remaining family characters it blends in well.

UPDATED: From episode 10, the acting from both ML & FL steps it up hard, however personal view, FL is absolutely amazing, especially seen previous series from FL to see her able to act like really shines out.

MUSIC: I didn’t find that appealing cos I believe there isn’t much music to be had so far so sorry to anyone that likes the music but I find it at odds with this story so far, maybe it will change hopefully.

REWATCH: Until I get more eps, I am not sure as at the moment I’ve seen each episode twice already so I do not know if I would want to rewatch this again, this is one of those series that I would pick out which eps to watch once completed rather than watching it all again.

OVERALL: so far it’s not bad, it’s not great either however cinematography wise and acting is great, story is slow but according to most people that has read the book it is like this to begin with. My take is if you like the FL and ML in other series this would be probs the main reason to continue watching. Otherwise for others I think peeps may wait till the whole 27 eps for season 1 to be finished before continuing on. However I will watch as soon as its released as I’m a fan of the main actors.

Will update more as series goes along hope it’s helped new peeps thinking of watching this series

Thanks all,

Shing
