I know there are some boring phase in the serial like baby nurturing track but other than that it look normal to me.
The show is boring because lead pair are saint characters. Katha easily forgive Viaan, she believed Viaan during shamita track, Viaan immediately become too good to be digested, Katha never get affected by ONS, never taunt Viaan about that night, these all make story boring.
Also people often compare this with OG, so make it more difficult to please people.
It is more about definition and expectation from a "love story". If for majority love story is defined as a story with focus only on leads and rest of the characters are unimportant then, this becomes the definition even if I don't agree with it.
I agree this definition is apt for a movie or a time bounded series where too much influence of side characters can make the story feel unfocussed but, not in a daily show. Daily show has a lot of time and this medium should be utilized to explore other stories which would have been impossible to explore within a time constrained movie otherwise, what will be difference between daily show and a movie.
Honestly, writers took full advantage of daily soap as a medium to explore so many stories within one story. Leads are not the entire story but a part of story. Ehsan and Vaanya are one such story. Neerja-Katha, Viaan-Ehsan, Viaan-Teji, Kavita-Katha, Robin-Batman, etc..
Anyways, I watch this show with no expectation. As long as it has a story that makes sense from perspective of characters, I am all for it
