@Wisal,
hey there girl, hope you are doing good too....
I am yet to watch NKYBF...don't have time to watch next 2 weeks...also after reading reviews of books and watching the trailer, it didn't excite me much....but will give it a try....these days i have become too particular in terms of content.....😁
yes the reviews on twitter are positive only not only from his fans but some neutral fans.....I think its not the fans reactions that Nihara was talking about..its these SM journos who do review all the content.....since i read only the ones retweeted by Zee5Premium and by NM fans, they are seemed positive. But after reading what Nihara posted, then I searched in google and found reviews which told about the positives and negatives in the show....
it was pretty much evident that there isn't much of the story or complex characters in the series...its just the journey of Sumer&Tanie from friends to lovers and since its shot in this beautiful city of London, the cinematography seems really good.....also its good that they changed the ending in the show... Some how when I read about ending of the book, it didn't sit well with me.....where Sumer sleeps with Tanie after expressing love and then kills himself next day bcoz he has cancer and doesn't want Tanie to have heartbreak....
Wisal did you really expect ITV dramas to portray mental health as close to reality as possible ? and all we get is the over dramatized version of any real life issue....bcoz the channels, the writers and producers believe that these are things that are going to fetch them trps and in a way they might be true too...if you see all the trp fetching soaps on ITV, none of them deliver even 5% of decent content...and on top of it Star is too much trp hungry...so they interfere a lot with the writers/producers to alter story lines in the hope of getting numbers....and PTSD from IB was same too, the over dramatized version...although in case of Shivaay, it was also the fact that he was deep in guilt for killing his bade papa plus the PTSD of being in jail....
In English shows, characters suffering with PTSD, depression, with high stressful jobs,with obsessive tendencies etc are shown talking to shrinks, trying to get help and coming in terms with they are going through and this is not a one time activity...In real life, its a on going process..for some it takes months to heal and for some it takes years...I hope ITV changes for better and work on good content...
about fan wars, yes I did come across the comments that you have mentioned and same feelings....what happened with NM when leap was announced is happening with SC now....in no way actors are responsible to what is happening with story lines, montages etc...neither was NM then nor SC is now...but who cares as fans are busy slitting each others throats in the name of supporting their faves.....NK fans are no less ..they have been digging the old tweets of SC/Shivika fans who have accused NM of throwing SC out of the show and now the screen shots of those tweets are being circulated 🤦♀️ Do you think fans should have learnt something from IB fiasco and now what is happening with SJ? Nahi...the fans whose tweets screen shots are being circulated are now hailing themselves for being so famous that their tweets are being talked about...😒 No one will learn anything....these fans will still continue to accuse NM of being responsible for throwing out SC from IB and from now NK fans will accuse SC of taking all limelight from NK and being responsible for throwing him out of the montage...
I saw one tweet with montage captioning, SC earned it....these kind of tweets only fuel fan wars....and then i saw war of words exchange between NK fans and SC fans with that tweet as base....NK fans calling SC as overacting ki dukhaan and SC fans calling out NK as expression less.....🥱
tbh, no fandom has only sane fans and its a fact and fans should acknowledge that...there will always be certain fans in every FD who spew only venom and will be responsible for these fan wars...those certain set are the ones who initiate these wars and the others simply join the bandwagon in the name of defending their faves....its like that vicious circle and this will go on and forever.....
I read one thread where war of words were being exchanged between NK and SC fans....SC fan accusing that NK fans are spewing hate on SC's posts just bcoz she is on montage where as when IB fiasco happened, they(SC fans) never did such a thing for NM or his posts....I could only laugh at those tweets bcoz I remember reading the hate on of NM IG posts and by god the hate was so much that i was disturbed and then realised that celebs are used to getting so much hate and they have learnt to live with that and I stopped reading any fans comments on either NM or SC posts or any celeb posts...
the girl in question didn't vouch for herself...she vouched for entire FD that they never did such a thing which is absolute false..we have seen the amount of conspiracy theories and hate that was spread during the leap....this is where as a fan you need to acknowledge that no FD has only sane fans.....so vouching for yourself is fine but don't vouch for entire FD....
anyways every day fans find new ways to start FD wars...so nothing new...yeah but yes life did come come as full circle from IB to now SJ.....😂 After reading those tweets, I only laughed at the irony of the situation....😁
