Hey guys,
So I think the majority feels the first episode of season 2 was a great start. I have to say I agree.
As cliche as the leap was, the CVs did stay true to themselves and presented the post leap situation in with their own flavour. There was nothing cliche about that. The freshness was absolutely refreshing and so was the change in the character's personality.
I'm not going to go into the details of what was great about it. I think many people have that covered. What I'm interested is in the future. It's a given that Dev and Sona will ultimately get together. However I can't help but think how this journey will be. The child bring the parents together is I think out of question since Sona cleared that up with Soha. (Which btw was so darn awesome. The KKHH part had me LOL)
I personally hate the idea of parents getting together for their children even though I myself am I child of divorced parents. Unfortunately my parents never got a chance at reconciliation because my mother passed away a year after their seperation. Even so, as much I would have liked having both of my parents with me, I wouldn't want it at the cost of their happiness, peace and lives in general.
Speaking of that I kind of see similarities between Sona/ Soha and my dad and I. Even though my parents had a nasty divorce and my father had my full custody, he never prevented me from meeting my mom or even her family after she passed away in spite of how much they hurt him. He let me figure out things for myself and decide on my own if I wanted them in my lives. Neither did he hide anything from me which I'm both thankful for and kind of resent at the same time.
I love the kind of relationship that's shown between Sona and Soha. It was refreshing and for me very much real. Its also a lesson for single parents raising their children. Its imperative for parents and children to have good communication between them, but in terms of single parents even more so. Single parents and children are more than parent and child. They are also each others strength, companions and partners. I really hope to see a great and clear relationship between Dev and Soha. Also It would absolutely make my year if I could see Soha being cut and clear with Ishwari like she is with her own family and show her the difference between her upbringing and how she brought up Dev. It would be quite poetic for her grandchild to open her damn eyes to her faults and finally accept them.
Anyhow, back to the show, so how are they going to get together? I don't want that journey to be cliche in any way because these writers have the potential to give us that if they choose to. I want them to get together because they want too, without any third party influence and match making, and personally I think it will be great if we can see their journey start all over again from the scratch. They should retain what they have learned from their years apart. I want them to have a cordial relationship for their daughter. I can see that happening from Sona's side as she's already shown she is capable of letting her daughter make her own decisions and doing the right thing even if she personally doesn't like it. They should get to know each other all over again, and better this time around without beating around the bush in any matter. Seeing as how Sona is now "I don't take shit from no one" I can see it happening.
And Dev damn well be a better father than he was a husband. However if the character change he has gone through sticks over time, I can see it happening. I can see him taking a stand for his child against everyone, including his own mother, which will be a treat to watch.
However, because the CVs have taken such a different spin from the first go I find myself unable to predict their journey. I'm really at a blank. I really can't imagine how they will proceed which is frustrating and refreshing at the same time because i'm usually so good at this. That is in itself because shows are generally so predictable.
I'd love to hear how you guys think think the story will move forward.
Have a great week, 👍🏼
