This episode showed me it has a lot of potential an I am looking forward to the next one!
After reading the book, the 2009 movie left me with a bitter taste. The book is so rich (as they always are), and the movie adaption just didn't do it for me. It was too fast moving, like it was running through the novel, trying to fit the whole timeline these to characters have, but lacking in the depth, at least for me.
This on the other had, will be slower paced, and already the first episode showed the chemistry these two actors demonstrate, and the well done, funny and layered script!
I think this mini series is going to be a real gem, and am happy this beautiful love story will get the adaptation it deserves.
