The little details that sum up your love for someone are what gets the show going, in an attractively realistic manner. After all amour isn’t merely about happy days, is it? The writers navigate through the subtle shades that bring tears, fears and joy.

From there onwards, we mature with the couple as we enter the season finale. Kavya and Dhruv having faithfully charmed us right from the first episode. Them, on a constant pursuit to find reasons to be together, amidst chaos and calm and learning to embrace each other’s faults.
Almost a year of long-distance on different continents and the protagonists seem to have learned their way through the hurdles. Finland-returned Dhruv reunites with his partner in Kerala only to appear distanced at the beginning. This vacation has only resolved conflicts and brought new perspectives into them, individually and as a pair.

Battling his ego wars and handling his delicate relationship with his father has come a long way for this young man.

Dads and mums mingling. Are the wedding bells ringing?
‘Little Things’ is a perfect pick with just the right dose of love, longing and lessons.
