Laila, you will be back. Things on KB don't last for long. Right now the storyline is pretty predictable. But one thing I have learned about the KB CV's is that the show moves with break neck speed. Do you really want to sit through a 3 month long wedding like on CB? A 3 month divorce like on PR? My friends and I abandoned those ships a long time ago. I am glad Simi did not marry Nakul and that we didn't have to see poor Abhi turn into some Devdas type of character. I can only imagine Abhi outside of the Dagar mansion dieing of alcoholism or hanging out drinking his sorrows away with RB. I admit the, "I love you Simi" scene was rushed. But it could be much worse, they could have married her off to RB!?!?? Just hold on things will get better and you will be back here posting as ususal. Don't give up "A change is gonna come"

Actually I like PR but I only started watching it a couple of months ago, but CB Is too much for me. From my perspective the PR characters have more to do and are better developed than in KB. The writing is far more detailed and higher quality. While I disagree with some of things taking place (and have voiced it on that forum), I do find it more interesting. However, let us avoid comparisons and focus on KB as it is.
I don't mind a three month long romance or even a six month long one, or even a two week wedding, as long as it is done well. Speed does not mean quality when there is no development of character or purpose. Also, just because we don't have Abhi mourning outside of Simi's house, does not mean what we are seeing is any better. Let us not forget we were stuck with a two week long miserable time of watching Abhi pursue Simi and force her to agree she was married/commited to him. Prior to that we had Abhi going frantic over Simi and the possible marriage to Nakul. Was all that needed?
Once again, just because things could have been worse, how much worse I can only imagine. That is not a consolation for me. KB lost a good fan and supporter.

but to me all serials are the same.
I started watching TV again after almost 2 years😆😆 and had high expectations that i will get to see a good serial till end but i gave up and i know there will be not any serial which s going to be really "good" according to me hence i just try to watch Tv iike any other audiecne nowadays *whistle*

The biggest problem in all dramas is they focus too much on the lead characters and have them fall in love too quickly. The romance is what weakens the story line. The rest of the characters are very poorly developed and their storyline is in relation to the two lead characters. That's what kills all these shows. Plus they never touch on serious issues that are an issue in India.

I think we had very high expectations from the Love story point of view for Simi and Abhi and its not upto thje mark

In a show we always focus on the lead pair we want to see how romance builds in them

Lack of scripting in this area has lead to major disappointment

Everyday even i wait to watch ki abhi kuch hoga and some scene will happen with Abhi and Simi being alone together and enjpoying some sweet monent but its only trouble all thee way
Very very disspointing
and half hearted romance is even more disappointing !!Like the bangle scne

All potential scenes have been butchered
So expections have become ZILCH !!!

Shanti, many people who dislike the show have the same criticism of it. The show gave us a romance and failed to follow through - it was a set up that disappointed us all. As you saw in FF, just that one scene I wrote could have done so much - it was such a simple scene that could have lasted about 2-3 minutes but it would have been perfect. After reading that I think you had a good understanding why I was so critical of the show from the start. If I can write this stuff, then why couldn't the writers who are being paid to and are viewed as the so-called experts. As a viewer, i want to see the writers do better than me, and so far, thas has not happened.
If you go to the FB Karol Bagh Fan Page, I am going to start writing what could have been a potential storyline for some of the other characters....then you will see why I am so disappointed in this storyline...

The first nine scenes were the best and then after that the only scene worth watching was when Anita was spying on Abhi and Simi in the park (she inviting him to meet her) and then when they were kicked out of the Tarneja household - that was a point when we could have had two weeks of Simi and Abhi episodes but oh, no that would have been too much for the writers.
The worst episodes for me were 22, and 37-39. In fact the whole wedding scenes should be burned and/or vaulted and shoudl receive the award for the worst writing in drama history. Some of the worst insane and insane dialogue was written - Simi talking about some solar energy power as a reason for her sacrifice, her over the top need to save her family, screwing over Abhi and chosing to marry Nakul and then practically putting his life in danger because of this need to save the ungrateful Neetu and her family's izzat.

Exactly. No, I am happy to be with you. Look at what you did for me. She was so lost in her mother's rejection of her, it didn't dawn on her she would have been sleeping with Nakul a few hours later. I guess it didn't matter to SImi whom she ended up sleeping with as long as mommie dearest was happy with her.
