Natalya Medvedeva as the main character
The original star of the Comedy Woman show Natalya Medvedeva played the role of unlucky in Dasha's love affairs. She began her career with a game in KVN (team “Fyodor Dvinyatin”) and later showed acting abilities in the TNT project. Finally, Medvedeva managed to show them in a full-length movie. Natalia turned out to be an eccentric, but very pretty heroine. The aspiring actress was able to depict the transformation of her heroine, the progress of her final appearance compared to the beginning of the story.
First, Dasha wears a little children's things, jewelry in the form of animals and likes to do funny hairstyles. In this aspect, she is similar to Lou, the heroine of the melodrama "See You."

The character of Nikita, like everyone else who was previously embodied by him, turned out to be a real seducer, who is difficult to resist. An alluring look, a velvety voice, casually and stylishly unbuttoned the collar of a shirt, behind which a lonely heart hides. The hero of Nikita, in fact, is by no means insensitive and pathos.
