Imitating Yasser Al-Azmeh... A clever artistic tribute
In the promotional advertisement for the series, Taim Hasan presented an eye-catching scene where he imitated artist Yasser Al-Azmeh satirically, drawing upon his well-known style in the series "Mirrors," one of the most famous Syrian comedic works.

This scene, despite its clear comedic nature, came within a balanced dramatic context, causing the audience to interact significantly with it, with many describing it as one of the most exciting and appealing moments of the promo, while others saw the imitation as carrying a message of appreciation and a symbolic tribute to one of the prominent figures of Syrian comedy.
Widespread interaction on social media
The scene did not go unnoticed by the audience, as clips of the promo quickly spread across digital platforms, turning into subjects for discussion among followers, who were divided between those who considered the imitation a clever addition to promote the work, and those who saw it as a successful invocation of Syrian artistic memory.
Many followers noted that the scene reflects Taim Hasan's ability to play across various artistic spaces, from serious drama to light comedy, which contributes to enhancing the anticipation for the series before its airing.

These scenes have helped to establish Taim Hasan's image as a versatile star, capable of surprising the audience with new styles without forsaking his fundamental artistic identity.
