This is making me uncomfortable

There are some shows which make you feel so connected to them when you watch, that you assume you know these characters are people, as real life beings...you know what I mean ? Such shows are few and far between...KRPKAB is one such show for me. Or should I say ...maybe...it used to be ?
Okay, so I have loved the realism of the show, the fact that all characters have flaws, greyness and good in them. But slowly, there is a feeling of listlessness creeping in...I am having difficulty relating to any of the characters, at whatever level. It almost feels like I knew somebody, but because they have moved on so much in life, that I almost don't recognize them anymore...and their presence makes me uncomfortable.

Why is it so ? Maybe because I am tired of tears and despite everything I say, I don't want SO much realism😆. Or maybe it's because I can't figure where these guys are going, or why they are doing or saying whatever they are doing and saying.

Should I like Ishwari's new side, because she will lead to a marriage between the leads ? Or shouldn't I...because there IS no new side...just a new mask ? She'll be the good mom, but she isn't.
Should I feel bad for Dev ? He wanted her to leave, then didn't want her to move on, then wanted to marry her...he still can't decide if what HE wants is important, so does he even deserve her ? How much of "sorry" will ever be enough ?
Should I respect Sonakshi - she refused to be cowed down by his stalking, but was it ego more than a desire to move on ? And would the current chaos have happened if she had just taken some time to breathe ? And is it so easy to forgive ?
Do I agree with Bijoy ? He hates Ishwari and Dev because they hurt Sona...but is his saying no just ego, or also fear for the future ? An overemotional husband who is a mamma's boy, and a master manipulator for a mother in law ?

I know these are characters - but each had sides or actions that made me relate, in some small way, at some level. Now, after every episode, I just question...who ARE these people, and WHAT are they doing ??

Im sorry if this post makes no sense...hoping someone else out there is as uncomfortable with the story progression and more importantly, character graph,as I am.

Loved the questions that you asked but that's what I like about the story and the characters.
What the character analysis is bang on. Just that it's these questions that drive me to fall in love with each one of them over and over again.

I am feeling jst the same way..but then I think to myself that is it because before these 2-3 episodes everything dat they showed was just as per wat I had predicted and wanted and just coz in these last 2-3 episodes what they've showed is not as per my expectations that I m feeling this way.

I too am feeling frustrated with a few things, bit then I won't lie that its coz of how dey r showing it dat is making me feel unrelated, by dat I mean the dialogues and the screenplay. However, I still m feeling connected and understanding the emotions they r trying to show in each character. Why dey r behaving in such a way. And so still I wanna gv dem a benefit of doubt and hoping dey r soon bak on track

I will try to put my thoughts forward with an optimistic approach that CVs have not ruined it all

we are all tired of tears and heartbreaks they have been showing over last month or so... Need some proper redemption in exchange...
But, Do we think the change and redemption we are demanding can happen overnight just because Dev misses Sona and Ishwari saw Dev begging Sona not to leave him ??


Should I like Ishwari's new side, because she will lead to a marriage between the leads ? Or shouldn't I...because there IS no new side...just a new mask ? She'll be the good mom, but she isn't.

Absolutely we should not like this side of Ishwari.. Again i feel CVs tought we would fall for Ishwari's trap and that is the only reason they came up with the TOY promo to clarify. Ishwari has not changed a bit.. She saw that She is losing control over Dev and it is just matter of time before dev goes and gets Sona himself.. Before that happens, she saw a window to restore her GOD image infront of Dev , Mamaji and other Dixit clan.. With out this GOD image, she would not be able to control them in future.. so it is very important for her.. She is not even being a good mom here.. she is just being selfish.

Should I feel bad for Dev ? He wanted her to leave, then didn't want her to move on, then wanted to marry her...he still can't decide if what HE wants is important, so does he even deserve her ? How much of "sorry" will ever be enough ?


I feel Dev is far from redemption still.. He lost his confidence on his Mom and is insecure about Sona. He know he wronged sona but can not assure her enough, i am thinking he will try again but Mom is meddling with the matters. once trust is lost , the only way you can earn it back is by gestures... 1000 more promises are not going to cut it. So I am waiting to see how he would do it.. as a first step i want him to come to boses and apologize. Since love is not a problem if either parties are willing they can give it a chance.. Again it is just a chance for their relationship... no acceptance to marriage yet.


Should I respect Sonakshi - she refused to be cowed down by his stalking, but was it ego more than a desire to move on ? And would the current chaos have happened if she had just taken some time to breathe ? And is it so easy to forgive ?

What can i say about Sona.. She is hopelessly in love..he is her first love after all.. She was upset when he came directly to her and asked to accept his proposal because his mom agreed and not feeling the need to say sorry or convince her parents ... But last two days Ishwari is coming and begging .. yes now this was not done by Dev but nonetheless the pain has reduced as her parents are accounted for..if only dev comes and apologizes and promises not to leave her again (i think it will happen tomorrow).. she can go ahead to give it another chance. yes, it is easy to forgive your loved ones..you cant be mad at them for long. sometimes putting ego aside would really help. Self respect is important but here ishwari came begging her to come back .. so that can be crossed out.


Do I agree with Bijoy ? He hates Ishwari and Dev because they hurt Sona...but is his saying no just ego, or also fear for the future ? An overemotional husband who is a mamma's boy, and a master manipulator for a mother in law ?

IT is not just his ego but he is scared that his daughter will not be happy in dixit house
Bottom line is he trusts his daughter's judgement that on a longer run she will deal with all the situations perfectly.. if this is what she wants knowing all the problems then he should not have any issue with it... Lets make Asha our ideal parent.. she understands the pros and cons and leaves the decision to Sona.

Very good points :)
1) On Ishwari - I get what the CVs are trying to do...my issue is WHY. When this show started, we had a grey Ishwari...she has been slowly and steadily moving to an out an out negative character. They have swung her so much that now, even if she is supposed to saying something with genuineness, the audience looks for hidden meanings, passive aggressive types remarks and manipulation. The realization that she had wronged her son should have made a dent...but now the character has moved to control issues with no remorse.

2) Dev- agree with you. He has lost control...but he needs to get it back. They needed to balance this aggressive visiting of Ishwari with Dev's introspection, on how he can sort matters...not make him disappear completely while his mom runs the show.

3) Sona - yes, in love, and hence confused. But going from the spoiler scenes, she seems to be giving in with really no communication between her and Dev, an honest chat. Ofcourse, I am probably jumping the gun...am still hoping they don't show Sona melting without addressing the issues at the core.

4) Bijoy - agree, he has faith in his daughter. Maybe too much pride, which makes it difficult for Sona to show any weakness. And yes, it's a love story so he will give in eventually 😆

I am as uncomfortable to watch the show as I'd if I had to sit and watch a train heading towards a deep ditch. I know how it's going to end up. But can't look away.
