The first half of this show was so relatable and really was wonderful to watch. The cinematography was beautiful and the plot moves just quickly enough to keep it really engaging.
But once I got to the second half, I just found myself getting totally bored of it all. The complete lack of communication between the characters drove me insane and the situations used to break them apart just didn't seem realistic at all.
The characters would break up and act like they hadn't seen each other in years, when realistically it would have been a few weeks at most. It all becomes so melodramatic and over the top.
And the most frustrating thing is that it's never explained why Marianne's family, in particular her brother, is so vile. He's verbally (and at one point physically) abusive for reasons that are just never touched upon. Is this purely to create some form of sympathy for who would otherwise be a very mundane and privileged character?
Overall, it's a good concept which should have been half the length.
