Basically, everything is wrong in KZK 2.0 but here are some of the points:
1. In season 1, both Anurag and Prerna messed up seriously a lot of times and made mistakes for which they had to pay, but in this season, all Anu and Pre do are sacrifices. It would be more compelling and real for Anurag to not take a stand for Prerna due to his family's pressure rather than straightway pushing her down the building. In my view, the former would be more realistic betrayal because everyone knows that there must be a reason (cough*cough sacrifice) for this evil act and hence it's not as great a betrayal because Prerna wasn't harmed. The USP of last season was that both leads were flawed and not saints and they both did great wrongs to each other which was never justified whereas in this season, everything is justified in the name of sacrifice.
2. No time for buildup- In last season, when Prem was killed, it was brutal because the show gave viewers time to witness the baby grow into a three years old and audience felt an emotional connect. It was even more brutal because he was killed due to mistakes of Anu and Pre. But in this season, CVs are not giving characters any time to breathe. After one villain goes, another enters. If he goes, the first villain enters with a plastic surgery. We are not connected in any character's journey to root for them.
3. Pathetic ships- The main reason for KZK success was its jodi. But the lovestories this season are borderline creepy. With Navin Babu, I can understand, he was supposed to be creepy but since Komo entered, every ship was clingy, toxic, ridiculous, be it Anu's simultaneous marriages to Pre and Komo, Pre marrying Mr. Bajaj, then Anu-Pre-Sona triangle. I just want these people to get the hell out of each other's life and spare viewers. Even Wuthering Heights relationships were not as ridiculous (No, actually, I take it back. Heathcliff killing wife's favourite pet and making her life a hell just because her brother married his lover who agreed to the marriage herself is the nadir of toxicity and then digging up his lover's grave is madness at its worst. At least AnuPre are better than that).
What do you think will happen in the upcoming episodes? Because I can't think how will they clean up this mess.
