The only thing that disturbed me in a-i-m is how a strong woman like bihter killed herself for a coward like behlul. Except for being hot there is nothing in thay guy. He was cheating on everyone whereas rehaan seems to be a much better person. There is a much more emotional connection b/w rehaana than bihter-behlul. I still dont get what exactly behlul did for bihter tolove him that much. Rehan genuinely helped ahana fight depression keeping aside his own feelings for her. The only complain i have with ahana isthe way she was shown begging to anany forgetting her selfrespect. but that kind of made her move on from anant easily and made her feel less guilty of rehaana. She hit rock bottom and met her breaking point of her relation with anant.
I think they worked Bihter's depression in a much slower way in the original.. leading to her decision to end it all right at the end. Its kind of like where Ahana was in dsjz with her depression but more intense because she genuinely loved Behlul and her life of pain had been going on for a lot longer. I agree with Behlul being a jerk and Rehaan being a better person. But I feel like its that paradox that makes Ask-i-memnu slightly better. Behlul was a huge playboy but he genuinely fell in love with Bihter. He never wanted to be vulnerable to anyone but he was to Bihter. He tried to fight that love. The scene after he kisses her...he blames it on her that she was trying to seduce him. He works with the fisherman trying to cope with his feelings.
Both Bihter and Behlul were tragic figures as they'd never received unconditional love and I think they found it with each other. Behlul never proved his love in actions per se but it was there in how he treated Bihter different compared to every other woman and Bihter knew that. She saw how he was with her sister and knew the difference. To be fair to Behlul... he did support her emotionally when she was upset for Adnan leaving her despite his own feelings for her.
I hated Ahana seeming so desperate for Anant too. What bothered me though was that it made her having an affair the obvious choice. I no longer felt any conflict in her having an affair because their marriage felt over. Whereas in Ask-i-memnu I felt more conflicted about the affair because the marriage was still there. In Ask-i-memnu it really felt like forbidden love. I still think dsjz was amazing.
Swdbs is the only kdrama i watched twice and the leads always bring a smile on my face. The guy was absolute love and treated the girl the wayvshe deserved to be treated. I love the way he keeps staring at her😳 he is definitly the best kdrama boyfriend ever. Also swdbs is the only drama were i checked out the wardrobe of the ml than the fl.
Yeah he is a sweetie. My favourite scene is where he stays with her when the bomb is strapped on her. One thing I really like about kdramas is that they rarely show the male lead as a womanizing playboy. I don't know why Indian versions always make the guys out be some kind of rake. Like KYY was copied from Boys over flowers but the lead male character in the Korean show wasn't in a serious relationship. He was isolated from everyone because of his position.
I saw heirs because of him even after knwoing he plays a minor role and absolutely hated it. I liked the second lead guy not because he was good but coz the male lead was such a bore🤢 and dont get me started on the fl. She always looks like she is on someone's funeral. The story seems like a plot straight out of an 80s bwood movie🤢. I dont get the hype behind it. I know that the writer is same in heirs, dots and goblin and its sad that being a woman herself all the female characters of her shows are extremely weak and boring. The female lead of dots is comparitively better but still nowhere near the ml when it comes to characterization. I liked goblin solely because of the chemistry b/w both the guys. The fl was irritating as hell. I fast forwarded all her scenes and i didnt like the chemistry of the lead couple as well but the comedy of the show was on point.
Yeah Heirs was okay.. I mean it could've been better if the fl was better. But I loved the second lead.. I kind of wish he ended up with the fl even though he was a jerk. His story was so tragic. I feel like the second ml and the fl had more chemistry.
It so important for the female leads to be written well without that the show doesn't hold weight imo. Indian dramas make them too self important and self righteous which becomes unbearable. But I like strong women who also just normal.
I love grim reaper the most.😳. In heirs i didnt notice the 2nd lead guy much other than he was more interesting than the lead but i started liking the guy after watching the movie twenty. His comic timing is amazing.The fantasy genre of kdramas are very innovative. I absolutely loved the concept of w, swdbs, my love from the stars, come back mister etc but since the majority of kdrama viewers are women the core of every drama will be a love story.
I have heard great things about my love from the stars. But honestly I am not all that into fantasy. But I loved strong woman when initially I was skeptical of the plot. So maybe I'd give some of the more fantasy ones a try.
