"The Pursuit of Love" is one of my favourite novels and I really loved this adaptation! It stayed true to the book and the cinematography, acting and costumes are great. It was quite funny in parts too. It's a lovely story and this was a really good adaption in my opinion. There were some bits where the sound was a bit strange but other than that it was great. I don't know why it's getting such bad reviews, but many people aren't fans of period dramas.
