The heroine's father died, the heroine left Milton
The hero's heartbreak moment
I cried to death when I saw the male protagonist say this sentence
The carriage goes far
This is the end. The two met on the train. The heroine and the hero went home.
Happy ending!

The male protagonist is really handsome, and the female protagonist also has her own style and opinion. The female protagonist follows her father from the romantic south to the northern industrial city where the male protagonist lives. The two first met because the male protagonist beat the smoking employees of the cotton factory and had prejudice and misunderstanding.

The heroine's father gave up his job as a southern pastor because of his beliefs and moved his family to the north. The opening scene in the south is full of life, green and sunny, and it is heaven. The overall color in the north is dark and industrial, cool and noisy, and the contrast is very sharp. The heroine's mother gave up her livelihood and social status because the heroine's father chose her beliefs, and became increasingly thin and unhappy away from her hometown, and finally died. Interspersed with the heroine's escaped brother coming back to see his mother, the heroine was misunderstood by the hero when the heroine sent off her brother in the middle of the night.

When the male protagonist was young, his father's business speculation failed and he committed suicide. The male protagonist relied on his mother's upbringing and education to start his own business. He is an industrial entrepreneur who does not rely on money to make money. There is a set of entrepreneurial principles that will fight against employees who smoke in cotton factories, and not compromise.

The contradictions between romanticism from the south and industrial pragmatism from the north meet. In the end, as the plot deepens, the misunderstandings are solved one by one, and the male and female protagonists finally kiss and embrace.

The plot is compact, only 4 episodes, a typical BBC short drama, you can watch it in one breath, and you will never get tired of watching it.

North & South quotes

  • Hannah Thornton: A mother's love holds fast and forever. A girl's love is like a puff of smoke - it changes with every wind.

  • Margaret Hale: I wish I could tell you how lonely I am. How cold and harsh it is here. Everywhere there is conflict and unkindness. I think God has forsaken this place. I believe I have seen hell and it's white, it's snow-white.
