I really don't get the appeal of this show. Someone please explain why it's so popular? I saw the first episode on Netflix and it just bore me to death! Nothing interesting was going on at all! All I remember from watching that crap was some poor servant was injured from war everyone was trying to sabotage him in his duties. Then some guy comes to the mansion and looks around with one of the daughters and doesn't want to marry her because we find out later he is sleeping with one of the male servants and he is a giant homo. Then some old woman is plotting, what I forget because it was bullshit. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something.
