“A forbidden love”

DramaHistory

Blanche is the young, pure, beautiful wife of the Master of the castle, in a secluded land. Every man is in love with her, including the King and his servant Bartolomeo, visiting the Master.

VIBE

A suffocatingly beautiful period piece where repressed desire festers in a medieval court. It's a slow, deliberate descent into obsession, where every glance and hushed word drips with unspoken longing and inevitable doom.
