The clues to a great story

Doc🤗

First, Doc. It ain't long. If this is a long post then tou i should pack my bags and run away from this forum cuz my posts feel like some torture devices >.<

Second, god. I love having you on the forum. You're so well experienced and have all these amazing things to quote...it's something I can't do. So when you have someone who has seen/read/experienced many great things and then that person gets attached to a show which seemingly looks as the "same old romantic crap" with substance and novelty to it, and basically go all obsessed about it...it's such a wonderful sight to watch. All of us started watching the show for various reasons. But now here we are, actively discussing not just one or two but almost all aspects of the show. It's as you say, this story has something to tell. Nothing here is just for the heck of it. Every incident, every character, every little nuance adds more to the story.

The art of story telling isn't easy because not everyone can a tell. Some stories have a beginning but no planned end. Some have a dramatic end but getting to that point messes things up. KY2 seems like one show which knew what it wanted to tell before it started telling. And that thing, in Indian Telly, is rare. It's super rare. So when I see this sudden burst of fame this show has gotten, I go surprised but then I also say, "well, the show deserves it."

It's one story. It has one set of character. It has one thing to say. But the way we all perceive it, approach it, decipher them; it makes that one thing into many. It makes it more relate-able, more grounded, more real, more memorable. RK said it right in my post that youth shows have more depth than so called mature shows because youth has more broad visions and the ability to accepts things as they are. And KY2 gives us just that. If it gives us some fated, fantastical romance then it also gives us harsh realities of some relationships. It has struck such a fine balance between what audience wish to see and what they should see that...57 episodes down and I'm still in awe ke aise shows bhi bante hain?

And last, someone should definitely tweet this to MTv. To let them know that they are doing a SUPERB job and they should continue it. Stop listening to outside voices and concentrate of the story they wish to tell, not what audience demands to see. Because them sticking to their vision is what's making this show this popular in the first place.

@Mais I love reading your posts, I meant that it's long for me...I'm supposed to be working😉

Rightfully said👏 As usual..beautifully written..

To put it briefly.. The main attraction for me is the depth in the characters & the warmth in the relationships.. once I find that I look for a beautiful story.. & other intriguing factors that keep me hooked to a show! Good actors are important as well to do justice to the characters & their emotions.
A lot of times I quit a show because it gets monotonous or I sometimes watch shows in on-off mode depending on the tracks! I'm always in for anything interesting!

In case of KY2 I got instantly connected to it the first time I watched an epi(early last month) It had all the factors I mentioned @bold above.. That one epi was enough for me to go back and watch all the episodes from the start.. It's commendable how the writers have built up the story & the characters.. with a lot of focus given to human emotions..sensitively dealt issues & the attention to details. There has not been a stagnant point & I can trust them to keep me hooked throughout the show!

And yeah..I never thought I'd be addicted to a college Rom-com or as such after having watched some mature shows😆.. but this show really surprised me.. It's a young show handled maturely!
Plus Intensity is something that gets imprinted in my heart! This show has it all!

**Edited..
Forgot to mention 'Humour' I can't sit through a show daily which has absolutely no homour in it!
Overall crisp writing.. Beautiful storytelling👍🏼

@catty @shibz still at work so delay in replying. Thanks for comments. Last serial I watched were banegi apni Baat looong time back and another one called Kash-m-Kash with javed jaffri and suchithra krishnamoorthy loosely based on Emma by Jane Austen. This is my 3rd serial and telling of my age I guess 😉

Doc if i had not known that u r a doctor i would have probably thought that u r a literature student ...u write sooo beautifully...i remember the first post of yours that i had read was the one where u had given the meaning of the word bully...it was one of my post where i had blasted the CVs for going overboard with the bullying act...but ur words made me look at bullies in complete different light...yeah every character in this show is flawed ...that was one of the reason becoz of which i found this show distasteful but now i realised how wrong i was...i had become accustomed to seeing 'angelic' characters on shows. this show popped that bubble of illusion in which i was living and helped me to realize the importance of portraying the reality on prime time tv.

@matreyee thank you for ur post. The reason I like this forum so much is the discussion is mature not only in content but also in context. People are open to different perspectives and isn't that the beauty of a daily. All of us understand the visual medium by our own experiences. Moreover it's wonderful that we can share it without fear of judgement.

Doc - How easily you explain human emotions. Kudos! Loved reading your post - crisp, clear, and well-balanced...and those quotes are perfect & so apt to describe this story.
