ambiguity
Dina stressed that she is a fan of ambiguity in the artworks, and loves the intertwined events full of suspense, so she chose to present "the game of oblivion", because the viewer pulls a link behind an episode in a state of suspense to reach the jigsaw puzzles carried by the work, and she said that "the work scenario carries More than one solution, and makes people disagree, and this ensures follow-up and interaction, which is exactly what is required, especially in serials whose episodes are as long as 30 or more ».
And on the reason for choosing Formate as an Italian series, as it did last year in the series "Costume of the Sun", she made it clear that she is not the person responsible for choosing the formations, but the producer of her series, Mohamed Mesheesh, is the enthusiast of that type of form, and persuades her with it, and offers her more than one idea to choose from among them , Confirming that the producing company legally purchased all labor rights.
Dina explained that the original work is only six episodes, and it does not make sense to have 30 episodes without substantial changes in the axes, with the addition of dramatic lines, characters and events, as the end has been completely changed, so that the series does not burn, and people are aware of the solution to the puzzle that revolves around it The 30 episodes.
And about her use of Tamer script to Arabize and write the series, Dina said, “Tamer Habib is a great name and a writer to be reckoned with, and he is perhaps one of the best writers of drama in the Arab world, and we were all confident that he was the best author to add to the work, and he changed it completely, and he added a lot, what He made the series very powerful, and he excelled in writing human drama similar to the reality we live in our Arab societies, and brought the characters closer to our lives. ”
Stir controversy

Dina responded to the accusation of the series “The Game of Forgetting” with the same theme of her previous series, “The Costume of the Sun,” saying, “There is no similarity between (The Costume of the Sun” and (The Game of Oblivion)), both of which are subject, characters, events, and dramatic lines that have nothing to do with each other. The only thing is that the two are based on the idea of suspense and excitement, and I personally love this type, and I prefer it in all my work that I embody or even that I see, because it raises my curiosity.
Dina explained the reason for the actor Ahmed Fahmy's apology after working with him, and said that there are compelling reasons that made Ahmed unable to film, because he was filming another series in Lebanon, and given the conditions of "Corona" he could not attend for filming, and this is a compulsive excuse and not an apology.
And about the director Hani Khalifa’s apology for the series at a very critical time, Dina said, “I don’t know yet the real reason for this matter, and we have not contacted him, and we have respected his decision, and in all cases, he thanked him for what he presented to the series, whatever the reason for its withdrawal.”
