I feel like fanfics are worse than this, yaar😆.....matlab most of them are so childishly written and so contrived.....the despo fantasy aspect is just too obvious in why most people write fanfics. ofcourse they are and the expectations regarding these kind if webseries too which is why i was pleasently surprised ke itne FF type premise main bhi it somehow stood out with the depth in the main characters and how the bond was developed despite the overdose of "broken" word ala spoonfeeding like A ceratin catmommy. not going to lie i got pretty irked by that and the moment they mentioned Veer with PTSD i judged the entire series yet i was so bored that i was like ok chalne do and then i got so involved and judged myself for judging it so early 😆
In this case, they still tried to round out the thought processes of the two main characters despite the cliched storyline.....its mainly Veer and Sam ke complicated emotions, mistakes, bad timing and their generally damaged psyches that pull you into the story......big credit also goes to Vikrant and Harleen's performances..... exactly and it made them so real despite all these predictable factors, word about veer going through different phases and vikrant aced every single shade/hase of veer . Vikrant especially got to play quite a range....season 1 waala Veer with his angry/bitter issues, then first half of season 2 mein Veer with his overcompensating giddy lovesick puppy mode....then second half mein a different kind of broken Veer. Sam is deffo more endearing in season 1....season 2 waali Sam was ironically more self-destructive than the season 1 Sam despite her being so messed up over Kartik. Season 2 Sam craved a sense of control over her life and emotions after having been so vulnerable in love once....so she was more complicated in a way. Also agree about sam being so dangerous to herself with her well i have changed phase and being somewhat more self destructive with her "otherwise" am in control and am okay mood.Lol special mention of the scene where she spots veer for a sec and how she becomes so vulnerable in a hot sec and then covers it up with oh no everything is ok and then runs to save him on terrace. gosh she was so complicated and cold in comparison to s1 wali endearing sam which is why i felt for ahaan too caz the guy was a sweetheart yeh alag baat hai ke i wanted and sam and veer so i was like ok cool sam since it is not veer i can be ok with ya but yeah she truly became karthik2 and it was sad since she did go through all that pain and humiliation
Speaking of Kartik....LOL season 2 mein bhi the way he kept popping up was making me laugh. These exes that Veer and Sam managed to pile up.....lol matlab ek ek sample piece.....woh Debbie bhi was quite a piece of work. Mujhe toh yeh ironic lag raha tha that she didn't even want the baby, she kept saying Veer is a chep and when she found out he cheated on her, suddenly she was behaving like he was the only reason for the relationship falling apart......lol sach bollon karthim despite being an ass i was ok with but debbie irritated me with her confused flip personality plus i was liek oh come on veer stop being so bicha hua ab itni bhi koi khaas nahi hai and you had more magic with sam just try again but that was me being selfish. oh isse yaad aaya the starting epi1 scene of bye is a standout too to me beautifully done again that handhold then them looking at each other kaafi full of emo
LOL that SIL matlab his psychologist na? Haha yeah she was funny.....season 2 wala Sam ka psychologist was funny too. They kind of went for a Love Aaj Kal type of ending with Sam actually going through with the wedding and only later realizing her mistake. Woh bhi only cuz Arhaan figured things out....lol nahin toh yeh toh aise hi chalaati rehti. *sigh* yes esp after ralizing ke woh karthik ban gayi hai isne aur hi zor lagana tha at being pretend happy
Arhaan was sweet....first time I'm seeing this actor I think...he did a good job.
But its Sam and Veer that I have the most to say about.....lol.....I loved so many of their convos....despite their confusions and misunderstandings, they just had a way of looking at each other that communicated so much, na? Like the moments when Veer would just ask her why she said no to him twice....and Sam would just look at him in such a way that you could see how vulnerable she is before she'd just totally shut down and try to change the topic. yes they sure had that connection where they just had to look at each toehr and understand it kinds reminded me of shivika ka rishta and understanding .also it might be me only but vikrant at certain points looked too much like Shivaay and reminded me of him i think it is the beard lol OMG that streched out hand to show her out broke my heart too i was like really? that is kinda dirty of you but i have to mention that lovely dream of Veer him seeing everything with sam in it and fantasizing everything with ehr that happened with debbie clearly he was just lying to himself too with the whole debbie thing ugghhg
A scene that really stands out in season 2 is the morning after they slept together....Sam's face when he rushes her into the bathroom to hide her and then keeps coming back to make sure she isn't claustrophobic😆 pakka shivaay ka bichda bhai tha yeh veer uski tarah ka cute wala joker but equally caring .....what an idiot. He really screwed up that day.....I feel like if he'd handled the aftermath of the morning after better, Sam wouldn't have retreated even more into a shell....the expression on her face when he holds out a hand for her to leave from the window said so much.
And uske baad toh it was all just bad timing pe bad timing.....lol Veer chose her when he got a choice.....and Sam chose control in a relationship...which she got with Ahaan. I liked that in the aftermath of the confession and yet another rejection from Sam, Veer still knew that she was lying....but he just felt exhausted overall.
Most of season 2 was about a repressed Sam in many ways....putting on a facade of the kind of person she THOUGHT she needed to be.....but repressing her real self took a toll on her psyche....it was only in the last scene as she gets out of the car and goes running towards Veer that you can sense her character returning to its natural self from season 1. yup she felt like apni real sam
Btw the ending scene had a sense of finality about it with all the FBs from season 1 and 2 combined....lol was this the last season? Happily ever after ho gaya Veer and Sam ka?😆 Kaafi short seasons hain is show ke.....Baarish had like a full 20 epi season....this one just had 10 each yup it looked like final episode to me too btu then to think of it it kind of have reached the end too for sure i'd like to see more of them but then ab agar milke bhi broken hi hain to idk .teh whole idea was how they completed each other ab dobara breakup karke toh extend hi karne wali baat hogi but then because i liked them a lot if they can show it with something different their afterlife i would love to see it and yes baarish was long and in comparison this feels small btu then i have a feeling they really didn't had any plan for baarish2 toh left it at the bitter sweet end and it was an entire serial then popular ho gaya kaafi toh no they are making it again. i just hope it lives upto that.
Songs wise, Laute Nahin stands out the most from the whole soundtrack but I love the theme waali "hmmm hmmm" waali tune that plays as a bg score in most of Veer-Sam scenes.
