Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
光凭片尾曲就值得看这部电影！主人公纯粹的爱情观，传奇励志的人生，真是罕见！片尾曲我连续听了几遍，真的太好听了！最后半小时是电影的高潮，很感人！
两个人一起吃饭（热聊）的桥段我能看一万次、孙锡久什么神仙“我挺大的吧”哈哈哈哈哈哈
适合用来消遣的下午茶甜点，就是那种有时候需要看一下的小片。男女主演都很喜欢！！两人挺搭的其实。不过故事就真俗套啦。他们俩要是最后不在一起我是真的会伤心哈哈哈。可能我还是那么幼稚和保守吧！
还挺灵的 观感愉悦 讨喜不媚俗～作为sex专栏/电影 哪有只写/拍进酒店 然后就出酒店的！
真的好上头
轻盈现代的爱情故事，两位主角太好了，赏心悦目
我不相信，全钟瑞我尚且觉得真的就是电影里的样子，但是孙锡久这种尤物怎么可能沦落至此！
We're figure it out ! You never give up ！
a man gonna do what he has to do，before he could do what he wants to do. 注定要成为剧本的人生
喝酒时的对话最为有趣，鲜于贞娥的配乐也很轻盈，收尾收得不好，但真的好喜欢这两个演员。
虽然内容有点缺少启发性，但光剧情和气氛也比最近看的那些商业片精彩多了
看完之后笃定导演一定是个有趣的人，然后一查前作的简介，真的很有意思啊。只不过光有俏皮活，还是不太够支撑商业长片的90分钟，但会期待接下来的作品。
虽然是平庸的约炮小品，但是好喜欢看人家喝酒唠嗑哇 超出预期～小全妹也太灵动可爱美丽了😍😍孙锡久也是有点子普男之光在身上👍
全中瑞魅力爆表，孙锡久melo不足，百想最佳编剧？？？？
光有女主在就好了啊，男主真是令人养胃的存在
前面太灵了！全钟瑞出现的第一下就很不一般，好喜欢，孙锡久也好可爱
No.2366 像是看了一篇爱情小说，节奏挺快的，但是挺有意思。不过也难免需要通过一些矛盾，让男女主认识到自己对这份感情的珍视。很喜欢画面展现的内容，特别是街景，想出去旅游了。男主不算帅，但越看越觉得亲切，像是一位值得结实的朋友。
How could this be 孙锡久太上头了
岁数大了，不适合看励志煽情片，鼻涕一把泪一把
谢谢，现在的我很需要这样的鼓励。希望每个当下不如意的人们都能有勇气保持自己的初心。加油！
