Review: What can we expect?
The main female lead Maitreyi Ramakrishnan shared in an interview that there are many things that Devi has to sort out. First is her relationship with her mother who truly cares for her. Because of an event where her mother scolds Paxton when he reveals to her about the kiss between Devi and him, Devi quarrels with her because Paxton ignores her for a while after that. Then she stays with her nemesis Ben who she kisses at the last episode a sign of a start of a new relationship. But Paxton again tries to reconcile with her.
Therefore in the new season, Devi has to make a decision. The fans are voting for their favourite male character in social media so Devi can pair up with the male lead with the most popular votes. But we do not know what the creators have in mind.
Then there are also Devi friends who are always there for her. She also needs to learn to take more help from her friends and be more grateful for their support. With their help, Devi will be able to feel happier and accept who she is because her friends love her no matter what. One twist is also added to the story.
