Ramble away! 👏 I appreciate the insight.
It's too bad then that the shows are so reliant on the TRP's. Since everyone wants instant gratification, like you said, the writers are forced to quicken a story line to keep the ratings up. But to what end? The integrity of the story and then it becomes choppy and the flow is lost. Also understanding that they can go the other direction and drag out story lines which then become stagnant.
I watch Kumkum Bhagya as well and they certainly have dragged out some storylines. How many times has poor Pragya been kidnapped? Too many. But the viewers have such an emotional investment in her and Abhi and so they keep rooting for them!
It would be one thing if the viewers liked the story but on occasion grumbled about the lulls in the progression of the things and entirely different if no one liked the story line at all. If everyone hated the story, then it's understandable that they would pull it off the air. But it doesn't seem fair if a couple lulls in the story cause the whole ship to sink.
Real life is full of peaks and valleys and so you need time to recover from the pits of despair and the highs of euphoria. Even if you were reading a novel, you wouldn't be in a high speed car chase from beginning to end of the book. You want to be able to feel what these characters are feeling.
I wonder if the writers come onto these forums to see what the viewers are saying. Not just viewing the TRP numbers but actually reading what's being said.
So far ADDNK has done very well in capturing our attention with the characters and the twists have surprised us. The writers are trying to tell us a story so hopefully they will continue to do so for a long time.
