Ahh.. Saint looks like Baifern after transformation?

[sreelekhaburla · 7/10 · 15 February 2024]

Character sketch of 'Nira' is classic trope most writers, especially where this drama has been filmed, must have ventured. I have personally attempted an FF along the same pair of subjects- revenge and trans identification of gender. I loved 'The Last Act' by the female lead at finale. Styling and Make up team have given their all. I wanted more screen time for Saint to emote a man experiencing gender dysphoria. Baifern and P'Aun captivated me refracting multiple emotions from their assigned role just like a prism. The director has pleaded compassion and respect towards trans community. Pacing is definitely slow but that's what we have speed settings for while playing on Y*ut*be. The only objectionable part is the partially pedophiliac narrative of 'Chat'. By relation and even by difference in age, their love seemed a little absurd. Ending didn't seem to justify the hype from the introduction.
