The Princess Diaries but make it gay and with fencing
At first I was impressed by the budget that was spent on the locations and clothing. Although, I will say watching Zee struggle to bow his head in that starched collar was an experience. I do however, love love love Net in blue - and I hope they continue to dress him in blue in future projects as well.
It was a nice look at JJ and Net's dynamic, although I wish they had had more screen time. I know they were the third couple, but I wanted to know more about Jay and Calvin. Their chemistry was nice and I could really feel the emotions between the pair as their plot developed.
I wish we'd seen more of Ava and Mira - but that is my lesbian self projecting. Ava was a wonderful character and I couldn't help but feel she was underutilized.
Jimmy and Ohm as Paytai and Ramil were really the ones that caught my attention the most. They were dynamic, but were unfortunately let down by the script. The relationship presented was complex and layered but the script didn't allow the actors to show the entire depth, which was a shame.
Zee and Nunew's perforamnce was good and they continue to grow together. I really enjoyed seeing them in an almost reversed role, with Nunew playing the more confident Khanin and Zee playing the more reserved and uncertain Charan. I think they played the dynamic well and honestly, think I prefer this to the dynamic they tend to play.
The plot could have done with some revisions and maybe with some extra help in the script writing it would have really made this drama even more successful. I wish we had got to see more of the country and the dynamics between the region.
