I think most people really liked it. I really liked the concept of it, and I think that it was done very well, emotionally. ie: the love aspect of it was very believable, even though there were holes in the "how is this supposedly possible" part of the plot.

 

I found myself wishing that it had been based on a book, so I could read the book... but it wasn't. *sigh* (Note, it's NOT based on Persuasion... nothing like it. Persuasion is simply the book that the heroine reads.)
