Dubai: It’s too hot to be outdoors, so Gulf News is bringing you a Summer Special Series to binge from your couch.

And kicking things off? The wildly addictive Hum TV drama Meem Se Mohabbat — a series that has quietly become a phenomenon, racking up over 15 million YouTube views per episode and dominating primetime TV across the region.

Settle in with your AC on full blast and get ready to indulge in some serious drama.

Starring Ahad Raza Mir as the brooding widower Talha Ahmed and Dananeer Mobeen (yes, the “Pawri ho rahi hai” girl) as the adorably chaotic Ayat, this drama is an emotional rollercoaster — wrapped in old-school charm but packed with modern drama.

The plot kicks off like a classic: serious boss meets clumsy intern, sparks fly (eventually), and lives change. But what makes Meem Se Mohabbat stand out is its heart. From the tender father-son scenes with Talha’s mute child, Mohid, to the moments of awkward flirtation and eventual heartbreak, the show finds its emotional rhythm — and doesn’t let go.

Written by Farhat Ishtiaq, the show is a quiet tribute to Hasina Moin’s iconic dramas like Ankahi and Dhoop Kinare. But make no mistake — it’s no copy. In recent episodes, we’ve seen jaw-dropping twists: emotional confrontations, secret pasts unraveling, and yes, even a surprise wedding no one saw coming.

Critics are split — some call it a slow burn, others say it's emotionally manipulative — but viewers can’t get enough. If you loved Humsafar, this one might just fill that void.

So skip the mall, cancel those evening plans, and start streaming. With its mix of nostalgia, nuanced performances, and just the right dose of drama, Meem Se Mohabbat is the ultimate summer binge.
