this is a boring and terrible show. the dubbing is horrible and sounds juvinile. unlike some other major period pieces which have beautiful costumes and interesting characters and plot lines this one only has beautiful costumes. The acting is terrible, unless it's the dubbing that ruined it. There is no character development and the love story between the duke and cook is as puzzling as the dead cat. Plus where are all the unwanted pregnancies.. just one seems too few for this show. I cannot continue watching past halfway thru.
