Loved Dev & Sonakshi's character so much in that season. Season 2 was a big let down for me. Except for the first 2 or 3 episodes, rest were filled with body doubles & it was grating to watch the actors speaking to the walls & doors.😓All they did in season 2 was to show Dev as a 'mahaan' person who took the decision to be a stay at home husband looking after the kids while his wife worked. It didn't sit well with me because for 7 long years during their separation, Dev didnt go to work regularly. He was too busy roaming around with his girlfriends. Vicky used to manage his business for him at that time.. So the makers making it seem like Dev was doing a big thing by sacrificing his career & taking care of his kids so that his wife could fulfill her career dreams, didn't resonate well with me at all.😓
For me, krpkab is season 1. It had a simple story told in a very simple & realistic manner without too much of a drama & with no vamp or villain but just some grey characters. And each & every character was flawed though to a varying degree .That was the beauty of the show..And now this season 3 feels like a different show. Cannot connect to any of the characters as they are all behaving contrary to their personality traits as shown in season1. And the less said about the writing & the storyline, the better it is!!
I would have loved to see Devakshi's journey without much interference from Ishwari. Her insecurities & how she managed to overcome them has been shown in season 1, so there was no need to repeat the same this season. The one positive thing in this season which I really enjoyed until now is Erica's performance in emotional scenes, episode 2 in particular. She was outstanding in that episode.
Frankly I don't know how long I too will continue watching this show if the writing doesn't improve.. Hopefully, the makers will realize soon where they are going wrong & take immediate corrective steps to bring back the essence of the original krpkab in this season too.
