jennariaVICTORIAN ROMANCE EMMA
Genre: Historical and Alternate History
How much seen: one episode (subbed)
What it's about: A young man comes to visit his former governess, long since retired, and falls instantly and madly in love with her maid-of-all-work.
It really does appear to be that simple, at least from the first episode. Of course there are inevitable Complications waiting on the horizon. This is Victorian England, after all, and they are quite definitely not the same social class. But this is the kind of love that's demonstrated in sharing an umbrella, or offering to get her new glasses because her old ones no longer work as well, or going and getting her a lace handerchief because the one thing she was willing to ask for was lace.
Overall opinion: B and Kay tell me it's slow but the delicious kind of slow instead of the frustrating kind. I am down with that. Maybe not this very instant, because it is approaching 2:30 AM as I type this and I am fighting valiantly to have much of any brain. At least I still have Opinions.
*
B has gone to bed and taken Ziggy. Kay has come back down and is playing Tetris, while Stef pays half attention to her, half to her book. Must pick something for next round that will wake me up. Maybe something that annoys me. I think it's time for another Magical Girl. :wry:
