Just my personal view ...
I really thought I would love this show. For one, I really enjoyed Jen Lilley in Harvest Moon and The Spirit of Christmas. She plays the lead romantic female role really well.
And the cinematography was wonderful in this show. Beautiful scenery, brilliant Christmas decorations, lovely homes ... the story line is predictable but that is what we Hallmark fans want. A love story that is simple, simpler than most of our lives. So, I thought, I am going to love this show.
Also, the script deserves congratulatory mention. Jeff did EVERYTHING any girl would want in a boyfriend, who wouldn't want a boyfriend like that right?
Well ... not quite. I could not get past how effeminate Brant Daugherty's acting was in this movie. I had to google him and yes, he is married (to a woman). He is completely unbelievable as a romantic male lead in a hetero relationship. And what a pity! He is so tall and very handsome but his mannerisms ... if I were Jack McFarland (of Will and Grace), I would probably be in love with him.
I won't be watching this show again. It made me feel really misplaced for the 1.5 hours it played.
