I know what you mean. Such characters walk a very fine line between what is acceptable and what may be bad or even morally wrong. In this show and even in Woh Aik Pal, the deaths stayed with me throughout the show and really made me examine whether the "hero's" actions and reactions were acceptable and their subsequent behaviours such as selfishness wrong or okay? For example, in WAP, Arish was a weak and cowardly man albeit kind but his guilt combined with his love later on made him strong and selfish because he was afraid to lose his wife and child. While Hatim's selfishness was already a personality trait of his, I felt he genuinely did change but his guilt manifested into selfishness and protectiveness wrt: Ramsha and Rubab. He was controlled by his passion and fear instead of actually meaning to be selfish (unlike the man he was before) because now he was in love and had a family to take care of. Complicated I know lol; some shows really make you reflect.
