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?
虽然Jimmy红了但在爱情片里看到不帅的男主观感大打折扣，抛开亚不亚男啥的，Jimmy长相身材在内娱都垫底啊。
结尾致敬真爱至上亮了！圣诞节就该看些浪漫爱情片Make it a very Merry Christmas!
故事肤浅角色单薄，但还是看得下去的。baby it's cold outside新编不错
Just because you got a Asian, doesn’t make this less basic.
会增加普信男的自信之片。不过从相处来讲，共同兴趣确实应该＞好看的皮囊。
前半段Jimmy O Yang还挺可爱 后半段虽然真的有些俗套但romcom永远能治愈我
20211106就是那种很套路的爱情电影，不过看着也还好，美女配个长相一般，不高大威猛的男有问题吗？人家起码有话可聊
最后模仿love actually那里还是俗气地被感动到了…是一个细想很丧的故事：如果josh不伪造profile，natalie根本就不会滑他，他和natalie根本就不会有开始的机会，哪怕他们灵魂一万分的契合。有点担心欧阳万成的精神状态…有点理解他移民美国后经历了什么了。但即使作为边缘亚裔男性，他依然可以在his rock bottom选择blame women…女主结尾独自站出来澄清真相和道歉确实看得不舒服
中规中矩的Holiday season 的搞笑电影，打发时间不亏
这个假故事真的好假 完完全全脱离了现实和脱离了人民群众 唯一的亮点就是女主的穿搭 我还蛮喜欢的
看到自己的孩子Jingyang长大，我就放心了。（不过这几部Netflix的片是真的差不多套路，也就节日看看还可以接受）
好。chick movie好久不見。對比之下亞洲人的頭圍真的要比歐美人大好多啊！
连续三年观看圣诞档电影后发现最近的爱情片都是亚裔男主角
妮娜还是漂亮的，但这片是真的怪。我不知道女主是真的喜欢男主，还是喜欢男主家人带来的氛围感，反正在男主的假求婚之后还能跟男主在一起是我想不到的
很stereotype的圣诞爱情喜剧，对亚裔的刻板印象也是极致了，女主身材还是这么辣，老板最后的话倒是有点意思，见光死的网恋没有马上转头就走说明还是有戏的
这部片针对华人群体，大数据显示nina的吸血鬼日记在华人群体中受众极大。网飞就这么通过大数据确定了女主角？特别强调女主交往过very good in bed的beijinger，这是在对抗什么stereotype大家心知肚明，就是有点太过刻意。整体来说就是部俗到不行的爽文。
五星给欧阳万成。这么白的电影类别里他能当男主就是圣诞奇迹了。以及他演得很细腻，我们这种从小就长得不好看，爱而不得的悲伤，他演得特别好
就是一个典型的美式白人圣诞烂俗爱情剧本，单单把男主换成了华裔，反正我是很难想象有哪个亚裔家庭像白人这样过圣诞节的，不过即使单单这样也是非常难得了（男主一家都是亚男白女的卡司）, 更不用说还有“he was born in Beijing and he was amazing in bed” 的台词了， 哈哈，给奈飞加分！
现实角度讲女主结局选择太难以理解 剧情上也没有给与足够的情感铺垫 有种为这种照骗行为洗白的感觉
挺可爱的！顺便一说男主本来就比男二顺眼啊……（never have i ever弃了就是因为受不了他…
