Maybe my expectations were too high after reading so many wonderful reviews, but this movie did nothing for me. The beautiful music was the best part of the movie, aside from Richard Armitage. I found Daniela Denby-Ashe to be very annoying and unlikeable. I didn't buy the love story at all. The two barely even talked to each other, and next thing you know he's proposing to her. The whole time I'm watching it, I'm thinking "WHEN DID THEY FALL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER?!" Since the love is so underdeveloped the romantic ending meant nothing to me. I would definitely not put it on a list of my favorite costume dramas. I found it to be boring and disappointing.
