Redux =Lost Magic of Ishqbaaz

I am someone who stopped watching Ishqbaaz a long time ago. When I decided to come back to watch it was when they started the redux forcing me to quit again. Now, last week just went on hotstar to check the update and found the episode where Daksh was exposed. Obviously, watched a couple of episodes before and after to see what's happening. Only one I found to say is thank god that Daksh was exposed and they put an end to MU. Now, focus seem to be on Shivaay's redemption track. But one thing again, they have sidelined other characters Om-Ru and Gauri. Bhavya tho has completely disappeared. Didn't find anything to rejoice despite the current track. Resorted to binge watching earlier episodes to relive the magic of Shiv-Om-Ru, Anika with her devars and Omkara-Gauri. Even Shivika is 100% better in the earlier version, obviously.
