  • This controversial proposal has elicited strong reactions from fans and even actress Yerin Ha, who admitted she was 'fuming' over the scene.
  • Luke Thompson, who plays Benedict, explained his character's actions as a pragmatic solution for the period, believing it was the only way for them to be together.
  • The Independent's review awarded the new season three stars, noting its predictability but praising the performances and overall pleasant viewing experience, with Part 2 scheduled for release on 26 February.
