Ayla's character can be narcissistic but not one with a bipolar disorder. Bipolar Disorder is very subtle in mood swings. Also what kind of doctor was that? Self harm is incredibly dangerous symptom and can threaten live of the person by leading towards suicidal thoughts.

Sanam fails to impress me. There doesn't seem any hope in next episode.

Wait, where did you hear that bipolar disorder is very "subtle" in mood swings? Subtle is not synonymous with the word polar. Bipolar disorder was originally called manic disorder, nothing subtle in that meaning. People with bipolar disorder go through extreme mood swings - manic or depressive.

The writers though did not do their research. Ayla's episodes are triggered way to quickly. She changes in a heartbeat then changes back. As far as I remember, bipolar episodes usually last a while rather than changing every few hours.

It will be interesting to see how they develop Ayla's character. I've known some guys and girls who have been very possessive and very temperamental as well. They'll be exaggerating it for dramatic purposes but it might be interesting to see how the relationship between Haris and Ayla develops and changes - it can be very difficult to live with someone as unpredictable as Ayla. She seems very self absorbed as well. It will be intriguing to see if they feature any domestic abuse - psychological and physical.

I recently saw the promos for the show. I had not seen them before the show aired. There is definitely an element of domestic abuse (in some form) - Ayla is seen throwing stuff.

Ayla has anger problem without any doubt.

There is something wrong with OKB's expressions. He is over doing it... and kind of chichoray expressions in romantic scenes (Bad choice of word I know 😆. He gave the same expressions in Aunn Zaara, but there the role demanded it because he was desperate but it is not working here. He was absolutely fine in DeD tho. Even in shocked expressions, he is doing a bit more than required. On the other hand, I'm actually pleased with Hareem, she has a got a difficult character and is doing a good job with it so far.

I don't have any firsthand experience with bipolar disorder and really, I've just read one YA novel with the disorder as its central theme. But I agree with what canuck-umz and areeba are saying - Ayla's symptoms just don't look like what a bipolar person would exhibit. Maybe the word "bipolar" said by Hareem in the interviews because she didn't have any other word to describe Ayla? Cuz aside from her I haven't come across anyone else from the show talking about Ayla having any mental disorder let alone bipolar disorder. She gets triggered just so randomly and mostly its at things she doesn't want to hear. Plus what's with all the shakk? I need answers!!

@Obi's acting - I'm still finding him better than what he was doing in the starting epis of DeD. All that stiffness and awkwardness 😆 Still, he hasn't done anything exceptional in these two epis (but then again, it's just been two episodes) I quite like how Maya is playing Aan though. Hareem is good but all that creepy villainous music that has started to play in her scenes makes it impossible for me to sympathize with her. Looking forward to the vase breaking, collar grabbing, chest hitting showdown the precap promises us!
