This show actually is a win for storytelling....they haven't relied on token romantic sequences ya dragged out high voltage stuff to get hype....the story actually moves on multiple fronts in almost every epi.....yeh nahin ki sirf Adi-Imlie ke scenes ki zaroorat hai to move it....sabke scenes acche hain....family ke, Pagdandiya mein Meethi ke scenes also even if that psycho Naani is around....then the whole Satyakaam angle.....even the Adi-Malini scenes provide context and background for the past and how it ties to the present.....there are so many plot points to make it an engaging watch....they all fit together and move the story.....that's good storytelling that is mostly missing in most shows that are stuck in tokenism aajkal. +1 i actually feel an attachment to all of the characters aise nahi ke some tracks ko total forward kar do sabka apna individuality hai and that matters they all have layers one dimensional nahi hain characters and all are intresting
Re: Aditya....woh notice sab karta hai Imlie ka even though she isn't really trying to make a place in his life.....but her very existence is taking over everything in his life and that makes him feel helpless and angry. He resentfully labels her kismat ka horrible mazaak.....but he forgets that kismat didn't only loop him into this, it looped her in as well....his entire focus on his own resentments blinds him to her plight many times. On some level, I do feel bad for him....it's terrifying to watch your carefully constructed life slip through your hands in the blink of an eye like this.....he knows Imlie is a good girl, but he is terrified by what she represents....a decision that destiny took for him, that he never asked for. His core nature asks that he be kind to a girl who is going through misfortune....but his helplessness asks that he resent the girl who caused this helplessness in his life.....that is his conundrum. 
I guess what sets Adi a bit apart from a typical rude/mean Gul ML also is that he gets emotional in so many of these scenes with Imlie even if he says mean things to her....their convos are so candid....he doesn't really hide some of his most vulnerable emotions from her...he shows her the extent of helplessness he feels....even in anger, there are helpless tears in his eyes many times....even that hospital scene when she talks to him about how faith makes something real and how she will support him in his efforts for Malini, he's just watching Imlie in awe for a bit with a tear running down his cheek before they both get up and walk away from each other. It's like he felt grateful in that moment but he still couldn't find any words to say anything to Imile....thank you or otherwise. And THIS is what makes Imlie dangerous to him.....lol her immense goodness defeats him....how do you fight a soul so pure? He knows somewhere inside he's fighting a losing battle but he can't comprehend the alternative of actually accepting what fate has dealt him in the form of Imlie....so he will continue to struggle. 
What I love about all this is how deep their relationship is even without any love involved😆.....so much to analyze about their bond, interactions, the evolution of their equation without any cliched romance factoring in so far *touchwood*
*Edit: Oh forgot to add about Sundar/Bandar....lol yes, most of his scenes with Imlie seem like comedy fillers but I keep getting the feeling that aage jaake family waale will try to get Imlie-Sundar married😆.
