Poor writing and over use of melodrama ruined what could have been a fine production. The plot, as in "Bonfire of Destiny" - which also starred Audrey Fleurot and Julie de Bona - was extremely dense. It was unrealistic and some of the coincidences were really excruciating.
There was a lot of fine acting. That really saved the series, and I have to admit that having got to about half way, you really wanted to know how it ended, so it does hold your attention.
However, as the story progressed, the melodrama became steadily worse. Also the heroic achievements of the women leads became too far-fetched.
