Caught up with all the pages, loved all the discussion and views put in by everyone. <3 Great stuff Rose and Tia! 👏 Now, with the risk of probably being thrown out here, I'll share my views. 😆While I still think KRPKAB has gotten as bad as the other shows over the time, I still wouldn't put it in the 'worst shows' catergory because imo, it narrowly escaped a lot of shit that it still could have been made to suffer. The moment I was about to mention Ishqbaaz, I realized it had already been bought up by Tia. 😆 Now, I haven't watched IB as a regular viewer ever and hence my opinion on it is from an outer perspective but from what I know of it, the amount of shit Shivaay has done to Anika, Dev is an angel with a halo over his head in comparison to him and I ain't even kidding. 😳
Gul makes her male leads, specifically, do every shit there is in her rule book and only after that is done does she gives them what according to her is redemption. The only male lead of her shows I really liked was Asad from QH, may be followed by ASR from IPKKND because at least these two men were shaped into good human beings later and they'd do everything to protect the women they loved. If you notice, all that Sonakshi has had to suffer was because of Ishwari and Dev did nothing to protect Sona from THAT.
That was Dev's gravest and biggest flaw/mistake. While in contrast all the crap Anika was put through was because Shivaay put her through it. My biggest and probably only issue with Dev is that this man does nothing to reflect on his past, introspect, own up to his own share of faults and mistakes and more importantly continues to worship Ishwari like she's done nothing at all when she's the reason behind everything both he and Sona have had to suffer.
As for the things Dev does and gets to get away with, I get equally annoyed by it and don't approve it or let it go in the name of 'chalta hai', 'louuu' or 'tashan' at all but since we bought up other shows, I had to point out that Dev isn't exactly the worst male lead we have had, imo.
The thing that disappoints me the most about this show is it started off rather well and was able to do well until a certain point with its realistic portrayal of relationships. The moment it started to dish out shit in order to garner TRPs and became just another commercially successful show with little to no substance left is what is extremely disappointing and sad.
