The Darcys & the Bingleys

The lighthearted tone made the characters feel lively and relatable, but I wonder how much of that was intentional from the start versus evolving during writing.

The etiquette and manners are so detailed, yet some interactions seemed a bit heightened for entertainment. Was that a conscious choice to keep things playful?

It’s fascinating how the familiar personalities are given new life here. I’m curious what sparked the idea to blend Austen’s universe with contemporary sensibilities.
