too much for the faint at heart

This is one series I cannot binge watch, it is just too heavy on the heart. The respite from all the intrigues and betrayal is just too short, the characters are tragic, even the protagonists didn't get to wallow in a much-deserved happy ending. Other side couple was given just as tragic an ending you'd wonder if life was really this cruel in that era. But the acting, direction and story were superb you'd invest heavily on the characters only to be dashed in the end.

Watch it because it is one story that has nuggets of wisdom despite it's grim perspective of the world reality. it may be set in some distant past but it lessons are as contemporary as today's headline.
