So many things in Jhanak that are similar to Imlie
ML is flawed and has grey shades. This makes it interesting to watch. He is very smart till he gets the FL. Once he gets the FL we will have to see whether all this lying or smarts still holds or the vamps stump him everytime
FL is pure, sacrificing and smart, but is always giving conflicting signals to confuse the ML, and keeps pushing him to vamp even though she knows he does not love her. FL hence is responsible a lot for
Keeping the main leads almost platonic for a long time, yet managing to create beautiful chemistry with the writing
Full on negativity with very little positive outcomes for FL, FL addressed as maid, naukrani endlessly with zer logic, venomous dialogs against her, emotional abuse, with ML standing mute most of the time, even though he supposedly loves the FL, yet audience put up with this intense onslaught day in day out, because the show is addictive and leads are great actors who emote well
Being unpredictable and doing drastic things that typically itv does not show. ML making vamp pregnant while married to the FL. Imlie trashed the ML in a manner that he could never recover. Yet trps were very stable throughout.
Letting vamps go scott free with zero accountabilty
Forgetting key elements - like the remaining ads, kashmir exam track? In Imlie she went from first year intern to full time senior employee with no progression in time and no explanation whatsover.
