In a time of such prejudice, love between the classes is frowned upon; but for William and Emma, their hardships are just beginning. Can the two break free of the bonds society has forced on them, or will they succumb to the pressure and banish each other from their hearts?
Although the base concept is similar, that is, a poor girl falling in love with a noble, Trapp Family Story and Victorian Romance Emma do differ quite a bit. For starters TFS has far less romance than VRE. Than then locations are slightly different and so are the times. Yet, those two shows do feel alike somehow. So if you liked one of those two, you'll probably should check the other one.
