MY THOUGHTS

This episode is almost two hours, so rest assured, I didn't go into all the details. I also wasn't able to adequately cover the many wonderful comic moments in the episode, but they're abundant.

This isn't a romantic comedy, but because the comedy is so expertly played by Paul as Siva and some of the servants like Thoi, it can be freaking hilarious at times. It's not like the humor in some dramas, say Drunken to Love You which devises all these ridiculous scenarios to provoke laughs. Instead, the laughter here comes naturally from the characters and situations they find themselves in.

And Palai. "I'm willing to do anything, just for my revenge." Wow, just, wow. What can you say to that?

Let me talk about Siva while I'm at it. Over and over again, Siva has been rendered impotent by Palai. He's been blackmailed into marriage by her, forced to be at her beck and call, while she's manipulated him at every instance. Siva's actually played fair with her, following her rules, but when she shows she's not willing to follow them herself, then it's gloves off, no holds barred.
