First Impression

This drama promises to be dark and ugly, but something is still intriguing and refreshingly new about this. I guess I’ve missed seeing Imran in a serious avatar since Mushk. Sarah and Imran are good together, as we’ve seen in Raqs-e-Bismil. Also, revenge based stories are fun.

So, to sum up, I might watch the first episode, and then decide if it’s worth my energy.

I will add more characters as I watch the series.

Until next review, please check out my books on Amazon.
