A crap script. The team worked bravely to overcome the shortcomings, but one can't have a film or a series without a good story. And this is a mess. It starts well. The actors are beautiful, the dance is okay, the clothes are wonderful. I love the colors. Only they have crammed too much in here. The series was sold as a woman trying to win a dance contest. That is good. There is some back story with the current winner. That's also good. But there is also about the family holding the woman down while promoting the man. And that is a series onto itself. Sure, some parts can be put in here, but...
