I feel making Noor negative ruins the whole essence of the story. What kind of friendship is this?
I was frustrated too because of how different the promos were from the show description and the show airing. I also agree, I think they could have made everything work without turning Noor negative. Making her negative makes you just really frustrated with the show because unlike some other current villain leads on other shows, she's not remotely justified in anything that she's doing. I've said this in other posts - it's hard to watch a main lead that is a villain in her own story. Even more so when she has no justification or cause for her actions.
The promos made it seem that he was forced to marry Noor out of noble causes, for her own good and because he was being a good friend. There is no noble cause in the show and he is not being a good friend (a good friend would set Noor straight and help her instead of giving into her breakdowns), and Noor is so obviously the villain of the story.
She's just acting like a crazy person who has an obsession with Azaan. There was no time spent with her breaking down from losing her only real family (mother), there was no time spent in showing how actually possessive she was of Azaan (her 'cutesy' stuff was always written off as her just being childish) or how she slowly became more possessive of Azaan as a result of losing her mother. I feel like if they at least hinted at this crazy side of her, people would have a lot less issues.
I know they really tried to market this as not being in favor of polygamy because that is not an accepted practice to the target audience. But I still stand by that if Khalid was a real threat to Noor, and it was out of a need to protect Noor for Azaan to marry her, the audience would have accepted it more than this.
