the actor who played the ML is also well-known for his role as Sulemain the magnificient, a historical dizi. so he has the kind of gravitas and screen presence to play a well-known powerful sultan.
not to knock on adnan but I think the writing as well as the acting was weird with the characterization of viaan 2.0. like some have mentioned, it feels like we are watching adnan rather than viaan the character. even the body language and way viaan walks has changed to someone softer. weird!
the ML was closer to the original viaan and even though he softened, it was done more through his eyes. however, he could be stern and push back like when he tells his mom off on how her views and attitudes ruined his life. so falling in love did not change his core of who he was, unlike the indian version where viaan embraces teji and gives her a free pass because he has seen the light. 🤦
so the writers killed the original version because they thought they were too good for masala and the over praise got to their heads. 🙄
