I really dont understand how people are finding this track slow. I know we all have different views of looking at it and I respect that, but let me explain whats so beautiful about this track and the way of it's storytelling and hopefully you'll start to see the beauty and importance of it.
First of all the pace is absolutely perfect. The way the cvs are taking small steps with Shraman's relationship and building it slowly, its evolving and growing in such a believable and beautiful way. I think what people are thinking is that Shraman are not growing closer to each other, but I disagree here😳
They might not be physically close yet, but they sure as hell have grown emotionally close! Like so much closer than they ever were! And I think thats so much more important in building a relationship than any other superficial physical attraction. I LOVE how cvs don't solely focus on falls and stares, that's what sets this show apart. Because it takes every relationship and explores EVERY part, every nuance of it so so in depth and beautifully.
Lets list how Shraman have grown close and matured since the start of the show:
1. Shravan who was once so hurt and angry with Suman for breaking his trust and heart 10 years ago, and wanting to hurt her back, has matured into a Shravan who is so much more understanding and is actually SHOWING how much he cares for her, rather than hiding it. Slowly but surely hes starting to show that. Some examples include: Friday's episode, the way he was consoling her, telling her it would be okay. The past week, the way he has been showing his protectiveness of her, and there are many more examples.
2. Suman who was always about self respect and completely shutting Shravan out of her life after he "insulted" her, has matured into someone who equally respects him. She has started opening up to him! She has started sharing her pain, her worries, her life with him. Something she never did as much before! Yes she still has her self respect beliefs, people don't change overnight!😆 But she has definitely mellowed down and matured so much! Yes she walked away today, but not forever, not from him. She walked away from the painful situation. Its not just about her pride anymore, its about her mother. The one person whom she trusted, completely unintentionally, and she understands that, proved the very thing she was trying to disprove. That her mother was wrong. Of course she knows Shravan didnt mean this, they talked today about it. But she isn't angry with him, otherwise she would've yelled at him like she used to, right? She is just hurt by the situation and needs the space right now to mentally and emotionally mend things in her own mind. Thats why Shravan was also more hurt today when she said "thank you" and walked away, because he unintentionally caused this distress in Sumo. And though he knows she isn't angry with him, he knows that the very thing he was trying to prevent, seeing her hurt, he himself caused today.
If this isnt growth in their relationship than what is? The way these two have matured, how far they've come. We're getting to see so much from this track:
-Family relationships being explored
-Sumo's past and her emotional dialect amidst all of this, the real Sumo, like we're getting to see the real, vulnerable Sumo, along with Shravan who is also discovering her slowly.
It is subtle but thats the beauty of EDKV. How they show so much symbolism and meaning so effortlessly. Gosh I love their angst. Its not over the top. Its not melodramatic. Its just..perfect. The perfect intensity at the perfect moments.
I absolutely LOVE the pace of the show. It's actually perfect. Not too slow and not too fast. I love how slowly they are carving out Shraman's dynamic and relationship with one another. I love how they are slowly growing close to each other emotionally and not in any superficial way. I love how they are maturing and understanding each other. I know people want romance and their love track etc. But if you think about it, you can't just rush to that. There is a story that needs to develop, characters that need to build first. Story and character development matter over everything. And I know that with the way the script is being handled, that when we do get a romantic track in a fitting story line, it will be out of this world.
For me, I like to see the discovery of the two people of each other, the understanding each other, the growing emotionally closer together, way way more than superficial physical attractions. Because this is the phase that will build the niche of their relationship. If this is skipped or rushed, then the whole relationship will look superficial and weak and we would not be able to connect to them at all. And that's another thing I love about this track and this show in general. How well I can relate to Shraman. How I can FEEL their connection like that's a big thing to be able to accomplish in viewers.
They have to take things in steps guys, they have to build and carve out Shraman's relationship. Because we KNOW that they will fall in love, we obviously know that they are meant to end up together, so there's no need to rush to that. What we wanna see is how they get there. Through these complications, through these ups and downs, through this bonding, through this beautiful angst that has set them apart from everyone else.
Just be patient guys. And I can assure you that when the time comes and cvs have taken the right way building their relationship, you will LOVE them for doing it this way because their relationship will have become so much stronger by then. And their romance at that time will be love But why rush there? There's no need! Let them take the time to develop their relationship first.
That is my take on the track and pace in general. I absolutely am loving the way it has been progressing and so much is being explored. I am perfectly happy with the track.😃😳
I really hope you give it a chance to actually try and understand the depth of it because there's a lot that lies in here. 😳
Kudos EDKV team!👏 You are doing an amazing job, please don't change and keep up the great work❤️
