I can't get over 2 things...
Ok - spoilers.
Love the cast. Acting was great. Production was great. Action was great. FOOD LOOKED AMAZING.
BUT...
1) He was legit a murdering tyrant. He had dozens/hundreds of innocent people murdered. And that's really never resolved beyond "oops he realized that maybe wasn't ok." I mean, she fell in love with someone who had women and children killed.
2) The ending of him just showing up AS the King? So they never really resolve his terrible terrible past.
3) "It's a secret... it doesn't matter" felt like it would have been cute in a different storyline, but here it felt dismissive to the fans. It wouldn't have been such a big deal to have him held in the book and released when she returns to the present. OR better yet, at least have his spirit reincarnated or something (which at least dodges the "he's a murderer" thing.)
