Recently I watch a very good series called " North and South", the protagonist are Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ache among others actors. At the heart of the series is the relationship between Margaret Hale, a young woman from a south and John Thornton, a cotton mill owner. Around them are class struggles between the workers and mill owners and ideological struggles between the industrial North and the agrarian South. After moving North, Margaret's father befriends his student Mr. Thornton. Margaret has already formed her opinion of Mr. Thornton independently after seeing him treat his workers harshly. John Thornton is attracted to Margaret's independence and position in society as a well-educated Southerner. As in "Pride and Prejudice" the marriage proposal comes in the middle of the series and is rejected by Margaret. The latter half of the series is an unraveling of the former misunderstandings ending in a romantic reconciliation which is again mirrored by reconciliation between workers and mill owners.
This series is great and very romantic and the set design have high quality, but it have bad points too for example the series is slow in some parts, but anyway I recomend "north and south" and I hope that you watch.
