Some realize it not until it's too late...

I welcome the change in direction...which softened his manners a lot more...it felt so much less agressive to see the scene than how it read...The last thing I want is to feel like the ML is an abusive jerk...I want to feel like he is really leaving no stone unturned in making sure he gets her hand...and he has all these bad feelings towards her...but he HAS to be a good and essentially decent guy underneath all those feelings...in my books...or the charm is lost...

Call me Sab / Sabi ( short for Sabrina ) 😆

Regarding Chandni ... Just my POV ... Shivani isn't at par with Barun ( who is anyways 😃) ... She is quite limited in her expressions ... But by stroke of luck ( or design , I don't know which ) that limited expression suits the character ... I don't think she is in love like you said ... I feel she is confused and intrigued ... and that's on a superficial plain ...But if I stretch this a bit and try to go deep, then this is a lost numb kid without an anchor ... She lost her mom ( possibly at an young age ) , she lost her best freind Dev , she lost her dad to amnesia , she lost her so called reputation to abduction , she believes her step mom is an angel whose love she doesnt deserve ( being a step daughter ) , so she tries to please her in everyway ... Now here comes a paheli , a riddler ( in Advay ) ...she is curious and intrigued but she doesn't question him too much , because life has never given her answers ...it has always given her questions ... She has lost the habit of probing too much . So when Advay calls get Jhooti ; she doesnt interrogate him , she simply declares she needs to go ...what's the point in asking , life and surely this Pagal man will not give her any answer ... So, shivanis limited affectless face actually works in this scenario 😊 ... By the time the story reaches a point where she will need to break down / retort / seek answer ; shivani will have to take the acting up a few notch ( which Gul should be able to bring out ) ... Right now this emotionally radar less lost kid with an amicable veneer ( my daughter will make any house / home a happy one ; according to Maleficent Indrani ) is perfectly characterized in Chandni ! I can't think of anyone else playing this numb character better than her. Sorry for the long bak bak 😆 Thanks for your thought provoking post

Sush, for sure that is how it should be in an ideal world but then I have a feeling Advay is not really that great in the interior. If I may draw another renowned literary hero, or rather an anti hero; Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, is a good comparison to Advay. Circumstances have made him who he is. He has done some very questionable things but we can't help but root for him. But Heathcliff was built up and expressed really well in the book and his character haunted me a lot in my teenage years when I first read the book.

They built Advay's character in the first week, very similar to Heathcliff but I feel like they slipped, maybe due to the pressure from the channel to tone him down a bit. I wish they went all out and made him a Heathcliff as opposed to this caricature of an angry loverboy he has become in the past two weeks.

But then I agree with you that I would rather watch a woman being wooed than be traumatized and continually harassed by the ML. Goes better with my romantic sensibilities.

FL is surprisingly good Navya! She is very natural and believable!

True that Bituwa and his feelings are the focal point of the show...but I really hope they continue to provide real opportunities for the FL to connect to the audience...That will be a winner!

Writing a few lines from Chester Bennington of Linkin Park ..

I know I am not the center of the Universe

But you can spin around me just the same...

Such is Bituwas persona ...

Bitwa is what I have not warmed up and it would be a miracle if I did ...but Chandni ( I really adore her ) and your takes on the show are the reasons for me to give it a go , Sush...

I fee the romance has started a bit too early ..I would have been happier if they had attraction , nok jhok ,other suitors and then romance with each other .. it's barely 3 weeks and he's already lifted her up and flirting with her .. but this is a separate story .
The surname ,background music makes me feel this is just a leap of ipk 1 .. like advay is arnav and Khushi's Son who has come to live in Allahabad ..

Good to see you my friend! It has been so long!!🤗

I too think the sexual advances have started too early...jumping on her bed...did not get my approval...Nor did lifting her up...the situational plot was poorly written...didn't justify any of that...

While the actors are doing well...the plot and story writing gets real sloppy at times...I hope they are able to overcome these gaps...

I dont mind the BGM...that's working for me...😃
