Nope, this was ITV at it's finest. It was a Telugu show called Mounaragam about a girl who can't speak. The male lead falls in love with her from childhood on as she saves him but the FL's father hated the ML, so the FL does not want to start a relationship with the ML. Second ML enters about 150 episodes later and the father loves this man.
ML and Second ML are best friends growing up. Instead of having a messy bloodbath trying to figure out who was worth it for the female lead (in their competition, they totally forgot to ask the FL about her opinion of everything), they decide to have a "friendly" competition where they would determine who was the "better" of the two. Hence, they began trying to charm the FL in different ways, all without the FL having a clue with what was happening.
The show was very serious. It primarily focused on the FL trying to win acceptance from her father as her father was not interested in raising a girl child, and especially not a child who was disabled. The love story between the FL and ML was a secondary story, and only after like 500 episodes do they actually get married (the FL is very steadfast in her decision of only marrying the ML as long as the father accepted their relationship). But the ML and Second ML track was a refreshing comedy track that was uplifting in the midst of more serious drama.
