This is simply a ceremony for making up girls. How can we make the mediocre rich lady fall in love with herself step by step.
The heroine is too charismatic, strong, brave, and full of vitality. Not to mention that she was a very attractive woman in the modern era. However, the female protagonist is still a product of her era, and has not broken through class concepts (despise businessmen) and binary thoughts, and retains patriarchal thoughts (it feels like she is more like a transgender).
I specifically went to look at historical materials and interviews. The story, character and plot should be 80% true. The textual research materials are mainly from Anne Lister’s diary. A large part of it is written with secret codes. The screenwriter spent 5 years. It’s amazing to decipher it, and it’s a very precious material for LGBT history. It is a pity that the diary of another heroine, Ann Walter, should have been destroyed by her family after her death. Her family opposed her life choices from beginning to end. After Anne Lister died of a sudden illness, Ann Walter fell ill within a few years and was sent to a mental hospital by her family. They were really together for only 7 or 8 years. During this period, Ann Walter was in good times and bad because of the conflict between her sexual orientation and her beliefs. In that era, she should have been lucky enough to have a happy love.
Looking forward to the second season!
