Started the show with a ton of expectation. So far, its been good but they need to ramp up the BSD segment & cut down the saas bahu drama to keep it interesting

Too be honest I used to watch shows just for a time pass and not bother much with how the story should proceed etc. If I liked something be it the actors or the story or the time suited even I would watch. The show that changed that was Sanayas love hate show...that I absolutely loved and slowly grew obsessed with ...I even was active on India Forums only during that...to check out spoilers..and discussions here...!
The way that ended finally put me off shows...having invested so much I felt it wasn't worth getting so worked up about a show that could get pulled off air for any reason! I was so much into watching and discussing it that after it ended I didn't want to watch anything else..even RR I saw the promo and I confess I hadn't seen much of Ashish and the story seemed dark so wasn't too interested!
Didnt start watching from the first episode...happened to catch a rerun of the episode where Rudra is hospitalised ...I think it was mid Jan or so...that and the precap kept me interested and then I logged in here and saw discussions about Laila and thakur and some Varun...so I watched the earlier episodes and after that I must confess I am hooked onto it for Sanaya and ashish.
Didn't mind the family entry but miss the core story...I mean more of the BSD investigation along with progression in their relationship would be good...I like the show as of now...want to watch it every day even though many times logic needs to be left behind...and I absolutely love this forum and the posts on the show...!
So unless it gets reallly boring I will continue to watch in the hope that the story will keep taking interesting turns...and the actors make it worthwhile anyway!

I had no expectation apart from seeing Sanaya.
I dont watch this show to do mental exercizes. I watch it to chill after a long hard day at work.

The actors look great, their chemistry rocks, the sets are awesome, the story is good, the supporting actors are awesome

I like it 👍🏼

To be honest by the time CC ended all i prayed to gods was for another love-hate story with Sanaya in it cz that seemed to be the only genre i was willing to digest. I didn't care if it was the old wine in a new bottle or new wine in an old bottle! I just wanted to watch a love-hate story with a good actor opposite her! BAS! I didn't have a single other expectation of this show. I was willing to take anything provided the above things were in it! I just wanted a show I would want to watch for the show too and not just tolerate cz she was in it.

And yet I was pleasantly surprised by RR, the feel was great the concept and treatment was good. But well actually what had me delighted was that Paro was NOTHING like Khushi! I have been honest that this show equals Sanaya for me and everything else I got was bonuses.
So to see her taking up this completely different role and seeing her acting put to test and stretched to extreme and seeing her getting in to the character was my own treat. And I cannot say I have been disappointed even once with Paro's character sketch. I love Paro!

And then Ashish happened and i loved their jodi and he is a fab actor and is matching her well. So another box checked.

Now came the supporting cast and the treatment. Honestly after coming from a show which was a shoddy product put together in a rush to say the least, the production values of this show being good took a different level altogether.
And I love the whole ambiance to the soul stirring sound tracks designed for the show. So another check box ticked.

So then came the TRPs and the necessity of a family. They need a side-saas bahu track, which forgive me for comparing it with Sanaya's other love-hate story.. just like there they kept the main leads out of the direct path by not having a MIL for the female lead. There is always a limit to the influence an elder female saas can have if she is not the ML's mother. And thank god it was maintained here!
And better yet they got it a step ahead by not putting a ML who respected that woman an iota! So Paro having no choice but to listen to the saas or bowing to that other woman doesn't arise.. So on the side the saas has her own bahu.. now that is good too! Let it be there for the TRP aunties who like those.
Plus a special mention about the creatives for writing Masala chachi in a way that I who detest such characters actually am enjoying her scenes despite wanting to go in and give her a slap! I thankfully don't feel like fast forwarding her parts which would have happened if they wrote another Kokila ben or Bhabo!
So another plus for me.

Then comes the whole different angle that has not been explored yet. BSD-Thakur-Thakurainsa.
This has been put on pause as Tarun Khanna who essays Thakur is on paternity leave. So I think he is back and they can move this story forward now on that side too, which adds the unique flavor to this show.

And thank god they r suspending Rudra from BSD! I was wondering why no action was taken as its only realistic to expect him to have to face the consequences for his actions!
cz we know and Rudra knows that he was correct, BUT the crux of the situation is that he doesn't have a single proof. So i expected him to be punished. And its happening. This being late is i can assume is due to Tharun being out as the whole set of them r needed to move this plot forward.

Also it has been 7 days in the time of the story from the moment the border fight happened despite it been so long for us. So its actually realistic time for that part to happen..

So overall, I am not saying its a perfect show. It can speed up at some points as far as screenplay is concerned. But the thing is what they show makes me enjoy the show. I like it. Even if they don't change even a bit of it, i would still like it more than any other show on air right now.

Anyway once again telling, I am relieved I can love Sanaya's new show for the show itself and not only cz she is in it.. And that was my last wish too coming true.

So well this is in NO WAY an unbiased POV.😆
But then u asked about our own expectations and these were mine and as they have been fulfilled completely i am one happy viewer! Cz as u can see i didn't want the sun and the moon from this show, i had some very simple expectations and they have been fulfilled by the makers..

I just wanted to love another show by Sanaya again.. n its happening :)

If sanaya was not in the show i wouldn't have notice this show. Paro is completely different from her previous characters. Initially i thought that like her last project in Sony this serial is completely relying on sanaya's popularity, but i am glad that the male lead is sharing more or equal responsibility. As you said the supporting cast is equally good. However the unexpected track of this serial according me is Mohini drama. I am not very happy about Saas bahu track but i know PH gives emphasis to such a track to get more trp.
