A close look into complex emotions
Strictly speaking, there was nothing complex about the emotions shared by the leads. But time and circumstance complicated it way more than they could handle at times. It doesn't help us handle it any better that this is based on a true story.
Phupha and Nanfah are very simple and straightforward characters, but their actions sometimes confused the other person enough to create a whole bunch of misunderstandings that were entirely unnecessary. But this was more a story of reconciliation than the mistake, the impact of time and distance on the relationship between two people, which ended on unclear terms.
They managed to pack a whole lot of emotions in just two episodes, and though the story and a lot of the details felt a tad uneven, this is first and foremost a look into the thoughts and feelings of the leads on their broken connection. In that, it excelled.
