Many people argue that Pheem’s character is unacceptable, because he shot his beloved one and manipulated him in order to exact revenge for his mother. Yet, if we consider Pheem’s background — a child raised alone, far from family; deprived of love, attachment, or a helping hand; surrounded only by hate, negativity, and people who sought to exploit him, then his drive for revenge becomes understandable. In that context, yes, Pheem becomes a person whose life mission is consumed by vengeance.

But if we think about how Pheem intends to save Then from his father, that might be the safest way for him to keep his beloved alive. Of course, from a moral standpoint it is unacceptable. Still, there was no other viable option unless Pheem turned over all the evidence to the police. Yet Pheem remains determined: he still needs to avenge his mother.

That’s a fair and thoughtful point. Especially once we consider Pheem’s background and motivations, it’s hard to judge him simply as “horrible” without understanding the context. And yes, given that the final episode of The Wicked Game airs tomorrow, it will be very interesting to see whether Pheem survives, whether he redeems himself, or whether his “life mission” ends in tragedy.
