I think ekta realizes there are mistakes. But she also knows that Kyunki at one point a couple of years ago had a close to flawless story line, which was very exciting especially when characters like Payal and Ansh were part of the story. I think the audience still aches for that quality of story line that is why they continue to watch it.
I personally find very astounding how profound the mistakes are in Kyunki in terms of its weak script and plot holes. There was a point in Kyunki were for the first 4 years you watched the episodes never thinking how stupid this episode was. It makes you wonder the quality of her writing team now, considering the previous dispute between Smriti Irani and the form script writer. I think ekta lost a talented member of her team.
I think audience still continue to watch Kyunki because they have developed a base of loyal fans who are still nostalgic of what Kyunki used it. And are seeing current episodes now and wondering will Kyunki ever be as good as it used to be.
For me the answer to that question is NO. But people will still watch because I think Kyunki fans have become personally attached to the characters especially like Tulsi. And despite the apalling lack of a coherent story line, still many of us continue to watch for Tulsi even if things fall apart around her.
We must also remember that previous Tulsi, it was not only her acting but the strong script/dialogue that made her character once shine and became an icon in television is probably lost forever. This new Tulsi has shades of the old Tulsi, but she will never be the one who many of us saw and just simply said WOW!
