Fault London - English movie series

My Fault London 

is a romance film, and more specifically, a forbidden romance. As usual, I like writing about the movies, web series, and books I experience. In this case, I had already read the novel series before watching the film. The movie is based on the Culpables series written by Mercedes Ron. The first novel, My Fault, was a bestseller, and this film adapts that story.

According to the story, after Noah's father is sent to prison in Florida, her mother marries wealthy London businessman William Leister. As a result, Noah has to move to London. Soon after arriving, she discovers that her boyfriend has shifted his affection to her best friend. The betrayal leaves Noah completely heartbroken.

Meanwhile, William already has a son named Nick. From their very first meeting, Noah and Nick do not get along. However, during a period when both are emotionally vulnerable, feelings begin to grow between these step siblings. Slowly, the arguments disappear, and they fall deeply in love.

Of course, both of them have pasts. In Noah's case, there is really only one major issue from her past. But when it comes to Nick, there are plenty of women who have tried to get close to him. Most of them are interested in his money. If they succeed, great. If not, they would rather make sure nobody else gets him either. That is pretty much what his past amounts to. All these unresolved issues sit in the background like landmines waiting to explode.

Then comes an incident at an illegal street race. Nick is supposed to be driving, but in a moment nobody expects, Noah gets behind the wheel of Nick's car. What seems like a small decision quickly turns into a major headache. In My Fault: London, that headache becomes the central conflict that drives the story forward. But then comes

Your Fault: London

One of those landmines finally explodes.

If Nick had anticipated it, he could probably have defused the situation much earlier. But he never expected it to become a problem in the first place. So how could he prepare for it?

Despite being extremely careful, Noah's mother eventually finds out about their relationship. Then William finds out as well. Fearing damage to the Leister family's reputation and the investments tied to the company, they decide the relationship has to end immediately.

Even though Noah and Nick decide to continue loving each other in secret, insecurity begins creeping into their relationship. The film tries to label it as possessiveness, but as viewers we end up reacting differently. We find ourselves mentally shouting Hey, don't do that, you fool! And then moments later No, Noah, please don't do it! The film manages to make the audience emotionally plead with the characters.

I do not actually know who plays Nick. But Noah is played by Asha Banks. She has a face that immediately reminded me of a mix between Rukmini Vasanth and Nivashini Krishnan. I even ended up bothering ChatGPT and Google trying to figure out whether she was somehow related to either of them. Turns out she is not. She is already an English actress, though not really a Hollywood star. So I keep feeling there must be some kind of Indian connection somewhere in her background. Maybe I will find out eventually.

I also ended up asking ChatGPT whether this story counts as incest. The answer was that Noah and Nick are step siblings, not biological siblings, so it would not be classified as incest in the usual sense.

That answer only made me more annoyed.

 on, what do you know about family relationships?

Around here, if a girl says Anna to a guy, his romantic hopes are instantly shattered. And here we are talking about step siblings and biological definitions. Whatever the technical classification may be, it is definitely the kind of relationship that makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Where exactly is the world heading?

Anyway, the series is apparently heading toward a trilogy, with Our Fault expected to complete the story. I have already read that novel too. No matter what, I probably have a duty to watch it for Asha Banks alone.

Let us see how it turns out.

Okay let's meet in my next post again, friends. See ya!
