Aryaaa 🤗
I was waiting so badly for your post...usually I never check the main forum much, but kal se I have been stalking there😆
Now Nezu has pretty much said most of what I feel but I will still give my 2cents!
This show is quite different from the usual fare on ITV, esp considering it is an EK show, and this difference is its USP. So, what is the USP...that it is fast paced and less dramatic. And that is what I am loving about this show.
Any other show would have shown divine connection, Mata ki chunari (hint hint😉) , Purvi's sindoor-daani falling down...etc etc. But our show has stayed away from this faltu drama. The pace is another thing I am very happy about. I know it seems to fast at times, but they finish off any track in a max of a week's time. That is an achievement for any ITV show which make me very proud of the writers.
Now coming to the points you have raised about lack of emotional scenes. Is it because we are running ahead of ourselves here? We already know that PurVir will happen and are working everything backwards. But truth is that the characters have not yet progressed that much...they have only just started getting comfortable with each other, have started needing each other and more imp, trusting each other. Yes the attraction between them is undeniable but they have not consciously realised it yet...Vir is more aware but then he is also more experienced.
This journey of Purvi & Virendra will culminate into PurVir only when it navigates the stages & expectations of other relationships. She has to be accepted as the kids' mother & the bahu of the family before she becomes Vir's wife in the true sense of the word. And even for Vir, he is yet to break the shakles of his love for Sakshi...right now he is purely focussing on fulfilling her dreams & expectations (remember Vir's thoughts in the scene where he applies Mehendi to her?)
If you observe, there are quite some parallels of this show with KZK1. Rish did not fall in love with Prerna the woman...he fell in love with the mother of his children. Here as well, Vir will fall in love with Purvi, but only after her place as the mother of his children is firmly cemented. The first step which they have now conquered is that Purvi has to be accepted as the true mother of the kids. And now they will move ahead...one hurdle at a time!
I agree with you on one point...almost complete absence of monolouges is an area where the writers can improve since that is the best way for the character to convey his emotions to the audience. Rish's monolouges in KZK1 were to die for😳
But you know the saying, right...kisi ko mukkammal jahan nahi milta...😳
So hold on...I am sure the writers are planning one hell of a ride for PurVir and us❤️
