It has become a worldwide hit because of its incisive storytelling and striking visuals. Every episode is a ballet of drama and desire, from whispered secrets to love duels.

"I’m of the mindset that without fear and discomfort that you have to push past, you won’t grow, so I took it on as a challenge for myself to grow as an actor as opposed to doing this for anyone else.”
