Fairy Lights Review

What impressed me most was the unique narration style of a generations-old tale - two best friends falling in love. Umang (Umang Jain) and Rohan (Rohan Shah) have known each other since forever and understand each other inside out, yet fail to recognize the chaotic chemistry of their relationship.Umang, an ambitious, self-sufficient over achiever falls for Rohan in fear of losing him. Rohan is a free-spirited carefree guy who believes their friendship to be of purely platonic nature.

Both Rohan and Umang are likable characters with a fair set of imperfections. That makes the show human and grounded. Neither are they ideal nor is their friendship. Characters are nuanced and portray a gamut of emotions effectively, except for Rohan's rage filled crying, which is an unpleasant sight literally and figuratively.

The plot isn't exceptional or highly engaging, but short episodes cramp in a lot of events and work in the series' favor. So far the episodes haven't dissappointed but I am not very eager for the next one either.
