Third edition of the shared universe.
Follows the story of Jak and Noopok who once classmates from elementary school cross paths years later in a drug deal gone wrong shootout where Jak is now a police officer and Noopok an innocent bystander caught in the cross fire. While Jak is instantly enamored, Noopok is less than enthusiastic. She wants nothing to do with Jak who was once her high school bully. How they cross paths multiple times and eventually overcome their past differences forms the basic premise of the story.
The direction and cinematography of this edition was much better than the past two. However, the series felt much more of a slow burn. The over-arching theme in the Dhevaprom series is the FL and their relationships with their respective mothers and for our FL, the search for her mother in the middle of the show kind of takes a back seat, instead of propelling the narrative forward as in the case of the past two series. Hence making the show seem a bit draggy in the middle.
In contrast, the main couple in this edition felt much more relatable and realistic. With the plot in the background, our main leads actually had some time to talk and get to know each other. The late night sneaking around with landline calls and tape recording moments were giving me life.
I liked the OST and of course our side couple Jack and Annie stole the show for me. At some point in the show I was more invested in their storyline than whatever was happening with the FL's quest for the brooch and her mother.

The ending with the identity of FL's mother was pretty anti-climatic. It was build-up to be a lot more important than what it turned out to be. Jak was the sweetest player turned lover boy. Also I think it was a crime that we don't see much of the kids in the later episodes considering how they were an important part of the first half and made the show much more enjoyable.

Overall: I liked the show and the development between the leads bit more than the past two editions. Their conversations and interactions felt more organic. However, some of the scenes could have been skipped to make the show more tight-paced. Quite an enjoyable watch and would recommend if you are a fan of the universe.
