Heya Kemya Review The Comedic Dose You Didn’t Know You Needed This Ramadan

From the first three episodes, Heya Kemya already feels like that underrated comedy sneaking up on everyone this season. In the middle of heavy Ramadan dramas, it comes in light, playful, and surprisingly gripping. With Mostafa Gharib, Diab, Micheal Beshay, Mariame El Gendy, Mimi Gamal, and Sayed Ragab leading the cast, the lineup alone pulls you in.

The story follows Sultan, played by Mostafa Gharib, whose stable life flips upside down after his father’s death. The funeral is where everything shifts. Out of nowhere, Haggag, played by Diab, appears for the first time ever in Sultan’s life.

He walks in like a shadow from the past, says unsettling, cryptic words, then disappears as if he was never there.

The moment leaves Sultan confused, shaken, and questioning kol haga around him. It’s dramatic, but in a way that sets up the comedy-adventure tone that follows.

The Kickstart: Nice

From episode one, the chemistry between Mostafa Gharib and Micheal Beshay is undeniable. Kemya, literally. Their dynamic feels natural, not forced, and the humor flows smoothly. 

The whole smuggling-a-bag-with-Haggag situation is chaotic in the best way, and all laughs are embedded nicely without overdoing it.

By episodes two and three, the story starts picking up more structure as Sultan and Emad begin channeling revenge against Haggag. The tone stays adventurous with comedic undertones. Kawthar, played by Mariame El Gendy, fits perfectly within the group. She blends into the vibe effortlessly, adding a soft romantic layer without shifting the show’s identity.

Mostafa Gharib’s Deserved Spotlight

Mostafa Gharib truly carries the show. His mix of comedy and subtle emotional beats feels balanced. You believe him. You relate to him. His reactions feel very Egyptian, very real. It’s the kind of performance that makes you watch with your family and actually enjoy it together.

He doesn’t overplay the jokes, and he doesn’t disappear in serious moments. The balance is what makes it work.

Micheal Beshay Becoming Everyone’s New Favorite

After his viral moment in El Sada El Afadel, Beshay continues building his presence. His humor feels rooted in everyday Egyptian character energy, even when he’s playing the “dumb funny” moments. The connection between him and Gharib is very Samna 3ala 3asal. Smooth, easy, and fun to watch.

Where It Falls a Bit

The series does slow down at certain points. Some developments feel slightly stretched, and you can sense that the storyline could tighten up. Maybe that will change in later episodes, but for now, the pacing dips here and there.

Diab, though, plays the mysterious brother role convincingly. He gives Haggag that “evil but layered” presence, and even adds his musical touch to the series. You know the rest.

Final Take

Heya Kemya delivers balanced comedy, a strong cast combo, and enough mystery to keep you watching. The storyline could be sharper, but the chemistry between the cast makes up for it.

A solid 8 out of 10. Will you watch it?
