Yes QH 1 was amazing. Especially at the start, when the story was VERY strong. Even though Razia was a vamp, she made sense in the story. Then they brought the Half blind Billi in, and the story started to go haywire. Initially it was still good with Billi, I mean because of her, Zoya and Asad got engaged? But then...after the first wedding "drugging and humbistar", things started to go south.
I still liked the Ajmer confession, and also a lot of other things to do with the story, even the Taj mahal wedding, Haider Sheik's track etc. But the Abbu truth was dragged too much.
QH 2 hooked me because of SAHIL and mostly KVB. I found the characterization of Aahil fascinating. So it kept me hooked for the past 7 months! I agree. When I first started watching QH 1, it was 2 months old. I must have watched the first 50 episodes in a week? If time permitted, I would have watched them even sooner. I stopped after ZOYAAN, coz I was just angry. But then caught up again after a few months, and since then never stopped. That was around 12 months ago.
But I STILL miss the characters of QH 1 a lot. I loved them all. But QH 2 is very good too. Epsecailly at the start it was reverting. Every episode was power packed, almost no fillers. But of course now that they got the extension, it wont be as fast paced. But yes, I agree. My day is not the same until I watch QH!
