Sonya & Nikolai & Marya | If you knew how long I've been waiting for you 

Watch in HD and with headphones.
This is my second edit about a period drama love triangle and I have to admit, I'm a sucker for these stories. Not just period dramas in general, but also all the angst, the talks about marriage and honour and duty... I adore it. A man being conflicted between his love and his family's expectations? Pride and Prejudice vibes. I'm LIVING for stories like that.
I've finally read War and Peace over the course of the last weeks and, god, how I loved it. I'd only seen the BBC show up to this point and when I first watched that in 2016, I mostly loved Natasha and Andrei, but didn't pay much attention to the other couples. Now, while reading the book, I was surprised to find that Nikolai and Marya are my two favourite characters - and by that I mean that I would die for Marya and think that Nikolai is a bit of an idiot (which he is, but I still adore him, that scene where he has to tell his father about his gambling debts melts my heart for some reason) - but their stories were just so complex and interesting. Sonya - who is so good, as Tolstoy keeps reminding us - doesn't really strike me as a real person, more like an ideal, so I'm glad Nikolai ended up with Marya. She was a much better character in terms of her development, her hopes and dreams, and fears. Nikolai and Marya's love story seemed more realistic to me and touched me in a completely different way. But I want to hear your thoughts: do you prefer Nikolai with Sonya or with Marya?
Unfortunately, there aren't many videos about these amazing characters yet, so I had to make my own. I hope you enjoy this as much as I loved making it. I stretched this sing out endlessly, because I just couldn't make this video short without omitting essential things.
If you REALLY loved this video, you can buy me a coffee. Thank you so much.
