Can't get close to passing 835 Candy Crush Soda - is it meant to be this difficult?

Been playing maybe 2 weeks, not a novice player (obviously) - I've really given this a good try, but am not even getting close to passing. I just wondered if there is maybe some mistake?

Not quite there myself but after looking around I think the level may have been tweeked, does your level look the same as this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVHuwruuneo
