It was an interesting and funny drama. It has a very unique story line. The actor is very good at acting on different personalities from time to time. It is not easy to change from one personality to another without great acting skill. He has to emerge himself deeply into the character in order to deliver the great result. And yet, he did it perfectly. The actress too has to handle different personality with different method so that they can listen to her without acting recklessly.
