Well this drama has gone beyond all my expectations at the
moment. The plot is rock solid, so many things are happening and Aditya and
Astha are pulled close together. Well this drama is as good as any KDrama shown
in Sri Lanka at the moment. However I have to admit the fighting scenes need
improvement. The camera angles and the shots it self are beautiful to watch.
Udaya Sri (Former member of boy band Centigrades) has done an amazing job with
the music directing. He is so good at his job that his music makes us feel the
same emotions we feel when we watch the drama. He is doing a fabulous job.

To add to all this, the plot of the drama is also very
engaging. As a member of the audience you can hardly wait for the next episode
to come out. I have not felt this kind of urgency for any drama after Apeksha
finished on ITN. Also the drama is
oozing with cuteness that half the time you are just saying “awwww so cute” all
the time. The cutest parts at the moment are of Aditya slowly falling for Astha
and her childish ways. It is very sweet to watch Aditya’s rock hard outer shell
falling apart in front of Astha making her see how vulnerable he is. The
elephant scene if you remember even made Aditya smile (which is quite rare). To
speak of the truth I have not seen such childish cuteness in a Sri Lankan drama
after Iduwara (ITN).

The drama also has so much suspense that keeps us glued to
the TV screen at 8.30 pm regularly. At the moment we have the problem of who
the hell Akila (played by Kavinga aka Kalum of Uthum Pathum) is? We already
know he is Aditya’s brother in law and that they hate each other. However why
is Akila hiding Aditya’s sister in an empty house? Why is he trying to hide
that this girl is pregnant? Why the hell is he brainwashing the sister against
Aditya?
Well my theory of things is that Akila and Aditya’s sister
are living together without the knowledge of the Danthanarayanas. When she got
pregnant Akila just hid her away while she faked that she is pursing her
further studies abroad. Main while Akila wants to take over Danthanarayana
industries from Aditya so brainwashing the sister against Aditya.
Also Aditya (played by Saranga) and his mother’s
relationship had hit the rock bottom. His mother (played by Mina Kumari) is one
cruel lady thus a Sri Lankan “Tiger Mom”. She has obviously done something to
Aditya’s former lover Shoba who is played by Saranga’s real life wife
Umayangana. Whatever it is Aditya is really scared that the mother would do the
same to Astha; this probably is why he is so protective of her even without
them having an affair.

Astha on the other hand is dancing around with her emotions.
She herself cannot understand that she is slowly falling for proud and arrogant
Aditya Danthanarayana. The biggest problem she has is Aditya’s mother. The two
lead ladies just don’t seem to go well together. The cruel hints passed by
Aditya’s mother even make the audience’s blood boil let alone Astha’s. However
we also feel sorry for the mother as she also seems to be a puppet of a bigger
scheme. Mr. Danthanarayana seems to be behind every bad deed the
Danthanarayanas did. The mother is just a scrap goat for him to put the blame
on. We have seen hints of this through out the drama this week.
However at the end of the day this drama is doing really
well. I personally believe that it should get the Sumathi Award for the best
drama of 2015. If this is the future of Sri Lankan teledramas then I like what
I see. In the near future our dramas will also get to the quality and clarity
shown in Korean and some Indian dramas. If all our dramas meet the Wassane
Premaya standards then we will not be showing dubbed dramas any more but other
countries would dub our drama; and swoon over our actors and actresses. You
can watch this drama every weekday at 8.30 pm on Hiru TV.
