I'm hardly in the mood to post what I like about this show, but obviously, there is something that keeps me not only watching it, but writing the updates as well. So let me recap, speaking for myself.
What turned me on to this show originally was the concept of a girl supporting her own family, instead of being focussed on marriage - I found it a refreshing change from the continuous refrain in all serials of girls to simply grow up & marry. Initially, this show did show that promise, and I was happy that Jyoti was just pacing herself until her family could stand on its own feet, at which point she'd marry & move on. At any rate, the likes:
If it hadn't been for Padma's step-motherly treatment, Jyoti actually would have been an ideal daughter, w/o ever having to marry. After all, this is someone who was and is incapable of leaving her maayka alone (e.g. when she insisted on filing the police case against Brij, instead of letting Deepu handle it). Had Padma not screwed w/ the rishtas, but simply asked Jyoti to stay within the family b'cos she was needed, that might have been something they could have agreed on. B'cos, as Jyoti herself once noted, she's a good daughter but an unfit wife/bahu.
At the current time, the only positive thing left right now is conceivably Sandeep/Poonam's relationship & romance. I was hoping a lot from Suday, but they only show her wallowing - I wonder how much more can Uday take of this constant crying from Sudha, and constant abuse from CM.
While it's fine to list our likings, it's worth noting that almost all of them have been spoilt by other events in the serial. Sudha's opportunity for happiness, for instance, has been totally soured by CM's disillusionment w/ Jyoti - had Jyoti never entered that family, Sudha would probably have been fine. The reason CM hates Jyoti is not b'cos of her background, but rather, b'cos Jyoti has replaced her as Pankaj's first love, and also, Jyoti steals the limelight from CM in public, which the latter can't stand. CM doesn't have such an issue w/ Sudha.
The biggest spoiler in the serial was Sushma - eloping w/ Brij, and becoming a constant source for Jyoti to worry. The first time I had negative vibes about this serial was when Sushma started acquiescing to Brij, and the turning point was when she became pregnant and had an abortion. Her attitude change was also a downer. The second time was the night that Sushma & Padma revealed to Jyoti how she was hated, w/ the result that Jyoti left home and a few days later, essentially eloped w/ Pankaj, opening up her year of misery, and spoiling Sudha's future w/ Uday as well. The reason this family is so disfunctional is primarily Padma, & secondarily Jyoti.
