I would call this less of a review, more of a super short mini-rant.
The drama is coming closer to its end with the next episode being the last (episode 23). This has not been a short journey, especially since this is not a drama that is action-packed. Rather, it's one that has beautiful dialogues woven into long, quiet scenes solely reliant on emotion and how those emotions are carried out - which almost made its run seem so much longer. It's been a beautiful ride and I'm very sad that the episode next week is the last.
That said, I've had one "beef" with this show from the beginning and that feeling of anger/disbelief/horror is compounded each time I watch an episode. What is that beef, you ask?
Shireen! What an AWFUL character! She's an awful person, an awful mother, an awful wife, an awful to-be mother-in-law.....everything about her is AWFUL. She has single-handedly ruined the lives of her own children.....OK, given, their lives aren't ruined exactly, barring Dawood's. But had she NOT been so scared of her husband, Dawood never would have become distant from the family in the first place. Had she stood up for her children, they would've lived their lives without the fear of their father. Had she actually had the sense to tell her husband that Dawood loved Kiran, she wouldn't have caused what ultimately resulted in her husband's heart attack and Dawood/Kiran's broken hearts. I know she's supposed to be this sweet, timid, quiet mother......but really, for lack of a better word, she just SUCKS!!
That's all! Off to catch up on Halki Si Khalish! Happy watching!
