Tu nombre es escándalo

The social rules and reputations seemed so strict, yet the romance still managed to flourish. How do others interpret the balance between societal pressure and personal desire?

The way scandal drives the plot feels so quintessentially Regency, but I'm curious whether this was a personal interest or a storytelling device from the start.

I'm interested in whether the plot twists were planned or if some scenes took unexpected turns for others as well.
