I was floored by the beautiful artwork and body language. The love story I wasn't so taken by. Can you say placeholder? Emotional cheating? *Dora Explorer voice*

basically, Ana married the safe choice, but her heart always pined after Zeno, who was a one-night stand back in her college days.

I'm all for second chances at love, but Giuseppe seemed like a placeholder. I still think it was a good choice for Ana. She wanted marriage and family (and a good reputation for politics), and Zeno wasn't going to give her any of those things. If they had an actual relationship before I'd understand, but she probably knew him a day tops.

Also, I felt a way about the portrayal of Bogdan - the only black character featured here. At worst, it feels like a racist caricature. At best, a portrayal of a mentally disabled character who misses the mark miserably.
