Aruna 2019 (2019)

Unexpectedlly good series

Honestly, I didn’t expect a sequel to the drama Mia 2018. but it was a surprise indeed. I also thought about how the previous drama is named Mia 2018 and this one is Aruna 2019, but as I started watching the drama I realized that she is no longer a wife(Mia) but an individual who is known for herself, not by relationship status of a housewife.

●PLOT VIEW
This drama has three friends, Aruna and Wipha are trying to step into a new relationship. Aruna’s daughter and Wipha’s boyfriend's son hatch problems for their relationship. Whereas Tharee is struggling with a new baby and a busy husband where she hardly gets time for herself.
This is a perfect short drama showcasing how a child feels when they see their parents in a new relationship, feelings of a divorced person in a new relationship and their respective partners trying to get along with the kids, aftereffects of pregnancy. It shows some mental health changes people face which we tend to ignore instead of understanding the person. And it is ok if we talk to counselors. It shows how to deal with problems rather than run away from them.


●ACTING/CAST
Each and Every cast is excellent. Aruna(Bee) and Wasin(Film) as usual show tremendous chemistry. The child actors Nuda and August were excellent like they are so young but they are so expressive in their roles. their cuteness is so charming.

●MUSIC And REWATCH
Music is interesting too and I find it kind of peaceful.
Rewatch is a yes, it's heartwarming but does not hold high expectations for it's a short drama and highly predictable.

●CRITICISM
There is a cooking show hosted by Aruna because we know she has become a celebrity now. But there isn't any complex cooking, it's just simple everyday dishes with lots of product placement. I actually expected to learn a thing or two from watching the cooking show but I already know more than that so that's a disappointment for me.

●FAV SCENE
Nuda talking asking Wasin four questions is the most heartfelt scene of the drama and my favorite. This scene made me cry and emotional. The questions were genuine and how she faced it despite all her fears. Ep 6

●WISDOM
Cooking food is like family together. When all kinds of ingredients blend together they create a flavorful dish, same as the understanding, truth, loyalty, respect and love that keep a family together.
