Again, this year, the makers of the drama are betting on the Syrian actor Qusay Khouli and the Lebanese actress Nadine Nassib Najib in the series "2020", which enters the competition for a script by Bilal Shehadat and the Lebanese Nadine Jaber, and the signature of the Lebanese director Philip Asmar, who spent the last Ramadan with the two stars, in The series "Five and a Text", once again dealt with them this time, from the window of two different personalities in shape and details, drawing attention to them again, whether through the high viewing rates achieved by the work nearing its end, or the interest it raised on the media scene, compared to the competing works. The year, which seems to have been reinforced by the presence of an elite of Lebanese drama stars, such as Carmen Labs, Fadi Ibrahim, Randa Kaadi, Fadi Abi Samra, and others.

Qusay Khouli played in the series "2020", one of his most important and recent dramatic roles, embodying with mastery the expert and the merit of the experienced, the character of "Al Rayes Safi", the seasoned drug dealer and the mastermind of the operations of its smuggling network in which he represented his brother, the wanted for justice, "Al Deeb", hiding behind the cover A peaceful and generous man, widely popular among the people of his poor neighborhood.

On the other hand, Nadine Njeim, whom we see falling into the workplace, plays the role of Captain Sama, who succeeds little by little in escaping into Safi's life and getting close to him to reveal the secrets and secrets of his gang, but she falls in love with him and begins to commit Mistakes that ultimately reveal her true personality, with which events turn and intertwine, leading to the process of her kidnapping and her lover's attempt to take revenge on her.

In most of the work's events and dramatic treatments that we found in many places, "unconvincing" and not serving "the dramatic template of the work, Qusay Khouli, despite the traps of credibility and realism, first and without skepticism succeeded in embodying the popular character of the beloved disciple Jada's son, and cohesion to the point of identification in The contrast, with the personality of the shrewd drug dealer, relying on his performative abilities and his sincere body movements, which the artist added to a number of involuntary impulses and various expressive rhymes, which he used to convince us of the double personality of "Safi" and his blatant contradictions, and then with the surprises of his personality revealed with each episode Which, although it reveals many positive aspects, indirectly justifies the legitimacy of the presence of the drug dealer and his right to experience sublime feelings of love.

National duty

With the episodes of the "2020" series approaching the end, director Philip Asmar's choices have so far been successful in presenting a dramatic work that succeeded in attracting attention to it, defying mistakes, omissions and intentional insinuations made by his director throughout his episodes.

It also highlights the "directorial self", which mimics in most of its details the atmosphere of the "video clips" filmed in many of the scenes and clips of the new work, in which Asmar tried to break out of the ordinary and invent a new approach in the dramatic "scenography of the scene", and then invest it as a captivating element for the audience.

While the series is still creeping under the weight of the accumulations of unrealistic events and dramatic, irrational treatments, it narrates the dilemma of the war of human sentiments and national duty.
