Very much agree with all your points.

I love that at first they showed her just by herself - you could tell she had spent a few moments alone & Raghav gave her that time to come to terms with all that had happened.

She was able to reflect on it and definitely close that chapter in her life (on her end/from her perspective, lets just ignore how we know Mandaar is alive).

The past few years of her life were in this weird sense of limbo - yes D fam had accepted her (pre-Raghav) as a daughter, she had a place with them, but at the end of the day her relation to them was always an extension of Mandaar. Their acceptance of her as a daughter was also because of Mandaar. So much of her past few years of her life was still tied to him that until she knew what happened she'd always wonder about him and wouldn't be able to fully let go.

But now she's also ready to leave that past in the past and fully accept and work on her future with Raghav. I hope they give us more moments like this in the future. I love how they can really sit and talk about their lives - past and present - with each other. They have real conversations and thats just.. so refreshing on ITV?

I too love these scenes where they converse without any drama . Its just simple conversations abt themselves and their life. The fact that they are able to share with each other every painful detail of their past lives so honestly without any hestitation......dt comfort ....dt bond....is the corner stone of their relationship.

True......these lil scenes that they incorporate every now and then is what makes the show such a worthy watch. I wish channel heads understood what they hv at their hands.

The obsession with ratings are what kills ITV shows. Its kind of sad - I've seen American shows with lower ratings survive for years. Like do all their shows have to be top TRP contenders? If they cared so much about ratings - I wish ITV would convert to a limited series format like Pakistani dramas or Kdramas. The issue with that is you need star power (i.e. a major actor/actress/producer often reels people in to watch) to run those types of shows with successful ratings - it's rare to see ITV actors do more than a few shows before they move on to other projects.

Ratings do matter in most places. I hv had many fav english shows which went off air after a season or two bcz of ratings . Lucifer.....was taken down by the network but due to huge requests by fans .....Netflix renewed it ( It wasnt a netflix original show). Sadly no such things happen in itv.

The only show which has come back on public demand is perhaps KRPKAB. Somehow the makers hv also managed to keep the show positive wid strong storyline every season and they didnt replace the actors either.

I do like Pakistani dramas but they are very short. Its difficult to see an actual romance develop in most of them. Their stories are lovely. Been a fan of many but they are too short I feel. I would actually prefer shows to be longer than that but not be dragged either.

There hv been many good shows which went on for less than a year on itv and kept strong storyline and narrative.

It is these kinds of simple but special moments that are the USP of the show.

Sometimes, when two people are connected at a spiritual level, words are not needed, neither are explanations. Just being in the moment says a lot.

I want to say props to the lighting and camera work for creating this soft and dreamy ambience in the scene, as well the angle it was shot from. It was as if we were getting a glimpse into a key moment in their lives, and they were with each other in a very natural and organic way, like a real life married couple would be.

Yes I liked how non dramatic it is. It was like a quiet scene. No too much getting lost in each other. Just being der for each other.

Yes. The moments shown in the show I like how realistic it is.
