After marriage they should have decided to break Khushi's spirit altogether - and then bring pain filled redemption
but they let that opportunity go by.
Ok - so one mistake forgiven...
After shyam's truth, they should have decided to make Anjali grey
No but, in their efforts to keep Anjali sweet and innocent, they made her a mess
They should have decided on Anjali - Arnav confrontation - both supporting their respective spouses
But they let that opportunity go too
They can't decide whether they want to show the kiss or not! (I can accept this one, its fun to see Arhi trying)
They can't decide whether they want clear cut happy once in life time marriage or a drama filled, bored wedding happening in background.
In their wish to be too different, they have come up with plots that don't appeal and are most illogical. Sometimes being predictable is good - because audience feels they were right about something and they connect with the show even more. there has to be good balance of newness and predictability.
And finally why can't they decide to do away with Shyam and bring a new, good looking, mature, sweet guy for Anjali. Even a traditional show like child bride is doing it and is being accepted whole heartedly. The show will also get a breather from all this mess!!!!!
When i see an episode as stand alone, it seems great to me. when i see the whole show as a unit, it is below average (except for casting and their acting, sometimes directing!)
