if it isn't for this fun forum group, there are moments where I am tempted to drop imlie. at the moment, I am watching it as a comedy instead. 😂

Agree.

And while watching alone detached from social media is relaxing, when the story gets unbearable, SM helps navigate the tough times 😁

Narmada didn't slap Imlie because she was concerned about Arylie relationship. If that was the case, she would've apologized/realized after the TV traffic scene. I was watching old episodes over the weekend, and I feel betrayed Narmada is made like this. Logically, I can't even imagine how these two people (Imlie and Narmada) can face/tolerate each other after all this shit.

I have a different opinion on Arylie's relationship, Aryan assumes a stronger role than Imlie. And I liked that part, because this is rare in ITV where you mostly see FLs trying to manage the relationship. I also like that they aren't always giving puppy eyes to each other, because they're still not in that stage. What I want to say is, Aryan and Imlie's traumas are different, one is directly related to marriage and other not. Imlie is actually doing way better than I expected in a forced/deal marriage setting, she (or Aryan for that matter) don't have anything to "prove" now as expected by Narmada, they're still in very early stage. If we're trying to apply logic, we should do that across all scenes and none would be alive in the serial if we do so. Lastly, Imlie is only 20, so it should/would look like teenage love. Imlie was rude to Aryan wrt him being able to love etc. in the beginning, she is not like that now, and that screams progress.

I am very disappointed with Tripathis leaving. I've always expected Arylie would be having conflicts (not random accusations, sick of those) because of them and it would cement their relationship. The 2-3 episodes where Aryan stayed in Tripathi house after Aparna's heart-attack, where he was angry with Imlie because she was back to Kitchen politics, that was fantastic. That is the main conflict between them. For whatever reason, we got a stupid deal/forced marriage :( and now saas-bahu drama.

I also think low-key that the quality will improve after IPL because that's when the real competition begin. The show is self sustaining for now.

Bas yehi umeed hai meri.. Hopefully since a Web series is finite, the team will wrap it up by ipl end and we can have decent story line

But I'm afraid that they have used up alot of material and there is nothing much left to show... Like we could have had Aryan's trauma and him doubting himself after purandas, the whole surpita track which should have been longer with both at loggerheads, jo not being villain from beginning but becoming Imlie's friend and filling her head with insecurities etc etc....

You can't go back nowto these tracks... And honestly most love stories after confession and consummation turn into bahu saas drama.

I'm afraid they have pushed themselves in a corner

Thank you for acknowledging that there existed a story and a fandom before Aryan.

You make some interesting points.

I feel where this show loses out most is in the balance of offscreen with onscreen. In my opinion offscreen drama has been affecting the storyline a little too much and a little too negatively.

- Surpita literally forced together (because they are a real couple)

- No past and present feuds because MV threw a temper tantrum and the entire t family was scrapped out

- The lack of a solid villain (this one hurts because BD/BM/Miss Universe none of them really cut it)

I agree with you when you say Arylie scenes fall flat and do not hit as they used to any more. However I really liked the tie dye scene. I really love ASR's dialogues in general but the way Fahmaan said the dialogue really stuck with me.

I am currently doing a rewatch and while the chemistry is still outstanding a good plot is needed for viewers to stick with the show. While Narmada's change is a plot point I doubt most of us are here to watch saas - bahu drama.

I agree with you; I have been consistently wondering why they have been going at supersonic speed. yesterday I was randomly browsing and decided to peek in through anupama. I started laughing when I saw the title -- they are having haldi. now, right around when aryan and imlie got married, anupama was just beginning its marriage track. they still haven't finished! compared to imlie, we have had 2 weddings, kidnapping, bomb threat and several murder attempts all in a space of few weeks. 🤣 why? is the show ending? what need was there to go at such speed? even arcs that people didn't like such as surpita had the potential to be really good if they had paced themselves for a good month and more.

no one wants to watch saas bahu drama! 😟 that is a different audience and drama genre altogether. in other dramas, they pace out the romance, the confession, the consumation to 100s of episodes. so much so that sometimes we will be at around ep 200 or more and the couple has only slowly started inching their way together. that way, it stops it turning from saas bahu drama too early and running out of story. that is another reason I want them to acknowledge the past and really introspect about how it has impacted them as inviduals and their current relationships and present.

I get your point with introspection. Infact that's my persistent concern with this show.. Without those slow moments we don't get to feel what the characters are feeling

But narmada was not asking questions. She was accusing. And most of it was baseless. Had she asked why did you leave the mandap? Why did you dress up like a naukar as the reception? Do you love my son? That i could understand

But she said - you broke a family. You broke a mother. You don't value your relationships. You just want to get ahead and essentially are an opportunist and a gold digger. This is all crap. This is something she knows is not true bec she has lived for months with imlie and seen her get humiliated by aditya at every turn. Its completely vile

This is a character assault and not questions of concern.

Besides that i agree with what you said that we need to see the characters slow down and process whats happening. I complained today also in the dt. How imlie was so broken yesterday but we don't see any introspection about it today. This is just shoddy writing and even shoddier direction.

.

P. S. - after actors leave the show i think you still cannot use the old footage for flashbacks. Its in actors contract. Unless you have specifically signed an actor for the purpose of flashback like arvind. That's why we don't get to see her comparing aditya and aryan bec they can't use either aditya's scenes anymore.

That has been her character's trait.. she has been like from the start.. That's the reason we got that Aryan's monologue at the end.. that she is behaving as if nothing happened n is happy

This is loosing the charm.totalluy..

Soemwhere...i have to penned down with heavy heart that there is something we are not connecting to😭😭... Like..no lovey dovey monemnts..

Scenes ended abruptly..

Promo is like a 360 turn..

Every thing is so rushed..

All screen space to neg characters...

And above all narmada's character is not connecting to the dialoques she is delivering..

Arylie scenes are chopped ...

And they are heading towards SR...

I dnt know where is the flow n continuity 😭😭

Mango I was in and out of this show for the flat convincing or keeping it interesting. Though I am not tagged by you I try to never miss any posts from you and coming to this I remember the post where I didn't feel it was right to give Imlie the dialogues of stain or maila. Every 1 gave valid points that I was being harsh she is a broken soul. And then I came across Mili's post which talked about her own experiences. I was like there's something I didn't connect maybe because I didn't have any character like Aryan in my life and I was the one who picked up myself and had been the constant force so that my mother don't break down much from the time I remember. Her choice to fall in love, come to a different state and then suffer had a big impact in my life too as I grew up in that situation. I had been my own key to self love for body positivity or even holding my mom's positivity in life. There's a lot of things missing in the story making it hard to connect as they don't justify the Arylie growth they have but again goes back to square 1. It's like jolting between things, the boss-employee dialogue has always been a turnoff for me especially after Purandas track.

Why does they go back? Is it needed? Will they die in embarassment if they accept a little of their relationship? I was going Gaga over look they are married they are husband wife when they didn't do what even lovers do that is accepting their love in front of the one they love... Why does the serial makers thinks that story finishes when the love is confessed? I am sure it will be more of an accidental intercourse drowned in sudden overwhelming emotions of love rather than love making.

Also Narmada what to expect from her? She even believes tarrot readers... She is someone living in luxury and without any good hobbies hence she is becoming like this.People needs some excitements in life after all.

Well at the end of the day is Arylie making sense for me?

After jyo entered they show Arylie the perfect couple on Jyo in background and the perfect distanced human beings when they are alone on their own.

For divorce to marriage I guess paramanu pama-anu bomb did a better job being a copy from Bengali serial Sreemoyi.She went back and forth but married the college lover at last. The bashing it got when she married the lover in Bengal was something the cvs admitted they wanted. I am proud to say that all people who bashed later posted they were guilty because they didn't reacted like this when her ex husband married. We think women are strong when they divorce but we don't want to think the possibility of them getting married again that too in the old age. They broke that stereotypes there.But that character might have wept for her family but never said she was some dirt. First she questioned was it her fault when she was cheated but with the support of her fil she came out of that zone. Here Imlie almost had every one to support her from the first, even TS at the end stood with her so what's so hard to slowly start to accept her reality. Does she love her husband or she is still in the phases of attraction? We Indians are bound to say the wife loves her husband from the very first day of marriage when we are not sure whether it's love or just attraction...

I remember watching a Bengali serial called Kojagori long back, the girl was a spoiled brat from a rich fam and the family was typical very much towards the culture family, believe me she taught everyone to be progressive. It was one of the most loved story when it was airing, later her character died at the end. Also there's a current story going in Bengal(I know Bengali ones coz my mom see sometimes) where it talks about the sasumaa getting back to the College which she never attended and her best friend is the dil, she even joined the job of RJ. After seeing such progression in tv Imlie is giving me a hard time convincing myself to see it on TV.

I am just confused maybe but it's becoming hard for me to relate. Or maybe I am just an emotionless person who doesn't relate with Imlie's pain ... I am a Bad Girl in the end😆
