What this show does well is production value. It has beautiful sets, action choreography, costume design. The make-up for the men is a bit off, often smeared lipstick or foundation too light so they seem pale. There is an investment in quality actors. However, the plot slogs badly in the middle and then becomes stale. The characters are all one dimensional, but the plot is too. So the actors, who do a great job with what they have to work with, have no substance to pull really exceptional performances or fulfill their own potential. The romance becomes tedious and smarmy. It's disappointing ultimately because it has a lot of potential that it cannot execute.
