First-Half Faves: 4 On-Screen Couples of Ramadan’s Kickoff
Ramadan series may tackle various themes, but they undoubtedly showcase love, compassion, and togetherness. In the first half of Ramadan, shows have introduced several on-screen couples, some with somewhat good relationships—though not entirely healthy—and others with wholesome dynamics and relatively relatable stories. Here are four of these couples!
Marwan and Maddy – Embratoryet Meem:
Marwan and Maddy’s romance in “Embratoryet Meem” is a whirlwind of emotions, more like a rollercoaster ride, really. Their playful banter and chemistry make them a joy to watch on screen, but their toxic traits or red flags are also evident. It’s refreshing to see an Egyptian drama explore romance between university students with such dynamic.
Ahmed and Laila – Kamel El Adad +1:
“Kamel El Adad” introduced us to Ahmed and Laila, whom we loved from the first moment. Their love story is as sweet as it is challenging, managing seven to eight kids. Despite trust issues and miscommunications sometimes outweighing their support and faith in each other, they always find their way back. Ahmed and Laila’s bond is a testament to the power of love in overcoming obstacles and navigating challenges.
Hamdy and Yasmin – Ashghal Shaqa:
Hamdy and Yasmin’s story in “Ashghal Shaqa” might feel a little too real. Many relationships are tarnished by parents’ interference. Despite facing numerous challenges with their nannies and mothers/mothers-in-law, they overcome them and regain clarity in the stoppage time.
Hussein and Lama – Massar Egbary:
In “Massar Egbary,” Hussein and Lama portray a love that has weathered it all at such a young age—although they never explicitly state their ages. Their journey is filled with ups and downs, mainly caused by external factors, but their commitment to each other touches the heart.
