Reception
This drama generally portrays the environment of walled-city (androon shehar) in a comic way. In the beginning, it got hugely popular among the public, particularly women, by the time it became very over, cheap, over the top filmy, and exaggerated in presenting the "subject"(the environment of walled-city), which ultimately caused defamation of the drama and its makers. And even when it started to get negative reviews for its content it just keep running and also has completed more than 300 episodes.
