IKR?! And act all affronted at what he perceives to be your mistakes when he's no good either and going around committing blunders!

Exactly! I seriously didn't care about their romance. I felt it was shoehorned in.

She was willing to r*pe someone who she herself had drugged to achieve her end. I guess this got a pass due to the historical setting of the script. However, I couldn't quite forgive her.

LYN vs. LYN? That'd be a sight to behold. If NH and NF are indeed separate characters, it'd hilarious watching NH taking NF down a peg or two while SXY relishes the chaos.

This!!!

PREACH!

Hello. I don't exactly like BWJ' s acting. Is WOACN worth watching just for LYT?

Her every inflection and change in intonation was perfection. It seems the Mr. Scriptwriter was right. The viewers want to be doled out crap.

This. I wasn't a fan either.

Watch this and Hilarious Family which also stars Chang Long, you find what you crave.

LMAO, so true! We all have come across a CGH at least once in our lives. 😂

Hello! Glad to see you here. How have you been?
Is it just me or the last 3 episodes have not been as good as the seven in the beginning?

Hugs!

Exactly! His track record as NH has not been great. We know NH fell for her in episode 10 but she doesn't. She has almost no context to go off of. She has no way of knowing how deep his feelings run or how genuine they are.

Yeah, I understand. Everyone here on MDL was happily bashing SYM for being cruel. 😑

💗🥰

Happy reading! If you remember, do drop a comment as to what your final verdict is.

Sure! They don't make stars like them anymore, LOL! That adaptation also has Alan Rickman, doesn't it? That movie has been on my to-watch-list for so long!

The prude in me refused to let me enjoy Jane Eyre wholly. 🙈 Afterall, it was indeed an extra-marital affair, albeit the tragic circumstances.

I absolutely love Wuthering Heights! I read it as a 13/14 year old and it's been only one of the few books that made me tear up a bit. Actually, most sad stuff doesn't really make me cry. I guess I related very hard with its themes of loneliness, isolation, societal censure, etc. Also, the idea of being wild and free bordering on recklessness appealed to my inner restlessness. As far as the retelling style is concerned, I liked the idea of a third person removed from the situation narrating it. It takes away the agency of the main characters to tell their story in the way they wish to, furthermore, driving home the point that the society narrates their story with or without embellishments. Thus, the nanny may possibly be an unreliable narrator. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Actually, I have not watched any of the Austen movies. 🙈 But I do understand the appeal of Colin Firth's portrayal of Mr. Darcy. 😂

I am more of a Brontë sisters' fan. For me, Austen's characters always seemed to be too self-absorbed which is understandable given the time period.

IKR?!
