I don't even like the way he looks. Bleh.
So, the premise sounded like it might be okay. Noble girl, betrothed at a young age to the prince and taken to the castle to live to endure day in, day out princess lessons with a horrible tutor. Then, at age 17, she goes to a Ball and there's the prince with a new lady on his arm, saying she's his companion now. Turns out he was just doing it to make her jealous but she cheers and congratulates them because she hates everything about her life.
Goes to their country house. Has maybe a few days or a week of being happy, then he comes and kidnaps her even though he readily admits that, boy, does she seem happy where she is when she's always been miserable and stoic and polite before.
Then episodes of her escaping and him capturing her or forcing attention on her and literally EVERYONE else from her family to the maidservants to even the noble lady who wanted to be the princess until she too had to take lessons is constantly telling her she's wrong and to just give up, etc.
He's insufferable, overbearing, doesn't listen to a thing she says and stomps all over her boundaries. She's kind of an idiot and waffles back and forth. And you can see them setting it up that somehow she'll still fall in love with him, etc. etc.
I am honestly amazed I made it through 4 episodes. The only part I liked is when she and her brother (who is also an ass) play muffin roulette.
Am I glad I watched it? No. Would I watch it again? Hell to the No. The only way to save this hot mess would be if she grew a better brain, actually escaped, and got the hell out of that entire kingdom because they all suck.
