- Natural interactions - Love how the writers have kept the interaction of leads post marriage quite natural and easy going. The male lead does NOT intrude on the female leads space. Love this because it represents the present generation of young men who know where their boundaries are. Back in the day, men were showcased with an irritating aggression misconstrued as love.
- Lack of Physical abuse by ML- Love how the male lead does not MANHANDLE the female lead. Gone are the days when all the pushing, pulling, wounding and physical abuse was assumed to be romantic, because it's not. Even after he puts medicine on her wounds. There was only one scene in the entire show where this happened, but it was not out of male aggression but just a natural turn of events, after which he realized his error.
- Perception of a strong man - Love how the male lead is emotionally vulnerable. For a change, the show has departed from brooding males to an emotional, sensitive and highly expressive ML and despite all this, he is a strong man. The female lead on the other hand is the one who is not emotionally accessible by many. She has assumed the role of what male leads did back in the day. She feels, but she does not express so as viewers, we have to figure out what her inner thoughts are. This is a welcome change. Men can cry too. We love it.
- Social issues like early widowhood and independence of a woman - This has been aptly showcased by the female lead. She is fragile, but mentally strong. She is righteous but she has flaws too. She was the only earning member of the family and after she left, her impact was felt in terms of finance. It's high time we address the growing number of women who are the only bread winners of their families and how things shape up after they get married. Most of them cannot divide themselves between two families and things also get tough for women, as it does for men. This is where equality in assuming responsibilities plays a pivotal role. The good thing about this show is that there has never been any discussion about whether she will work after marriage or not. The male lead is not shown to be a hindrance in her career.
- Mother in laws - This is the most beautiful part. The MILS are not evil. This time, its the father in law who is highly flawed. This is a welcome change.
- A progressive male lead - To date, it has not been implied by him in any way that the fact that the female lead had an ex bothers him. It does not. This is welcome because gone are the days when a woman is associated with only one man whereas the man is with several women and normalized. Women can have an ex too. Furthermore, the male lead is aware of what individuality means. This was refreshing when he asked her what she wants, just as herself, forgetting the surnames attached to her.
- Physical proximity - The show has no meaningless romance scenes for the sake of promoting physical proximity i.e. no fall and trip scenes in every episode. Yes, there are instances when they're both physically close but it's not without reason and it does not escalate to consummation. Even so, both of them have been comfortable in each others presence which is a relief as we don't expect two mature adults to shy away from little touches here and there eg. holding her or his hand, or fingers brushing etc. Only teenagers get butterflies in their stomach, not adults.
- Title song - A very soothing song, with apt lyrics, which are slowly playing out in the show.
- The RR mansion - The interiors were beautifully done, the color combination created an ambiance which suited the character.
- Dialogues - RR by far has the best dialogues I've ever heard. Savage, in line with today's lingo, he strikes a chord with the youth.
- Acting & chemistry - This has been pointed out by others already! It's the USP of the show
One more- CINEMATOGRAPHY. When it was possible before lockdown. Amazing camera placements and amazing shots!!
Yeh lo, dekhte dekhte, pura essay hogaya 🤣
