Juliet
2022
Skip it. This melodramatic incest-twist plot feels like a telenovela that lost the plot halfway through, and without any critical backing or notable cast names to justify the emotional whiplash, you're better off spending your evening on something with actual stakes.
Plot
# The Love Between Julia and Ashraf The love between Julia and Ashraf ends after discovering they are actually long-separated siblings who did not recognize each other due to a past conflict. Julia lives a simple life with her mother, Maryam. However, Julia's life is unlike others because of her mother's fearful demeanor, living as if afraid of her own shadow. Julia's innocence captures the attention of Ashraff, a young man from a wealthy family. The friendship blossoms into true love but is hindered by Maryam, who despises the rich. She, having a history of being married to a wealthy man, does not want that history to repeat itself with Julia. Ashraff shares his love story with his grandmother, Matilda. Matilda cares for Ashraff like guarding a full vessel of oil because her grandson grew up without parental affection. When young, Ashraff's parents, Ariff and Mina, were involved in an accident. Ariff was confirmed dead while Mina suffered mental disorder.
