The former is what happened today and the latter is what is making most people fear how this romance is going to turn out.
Slow burn is what most people are wanting to see, but slow burn doesn’t mean slow down on introducing our hero, if episode 4 itself seems like a filler, god alone knows what they will do with episodes 51?, Every scene in today’s episode pretty much depicted an emotion we already know.
The bhabhi devar love, the fact that devar is a chichora which the family is indulgent/tired of, Meera is apparently someone who can talk to the CEO but can’t tell her dad to back off, again something we knew already.
Maybe I am being impatient, but these guys need to get on already. The most entertaining parts of the episode were Kabir scenes. This boy is a great actor and really brings a smile to the face.
I have to agree with you but they are a couple of reasons for the delay.
1. Establishing context was very important. They explored every member of the family, the societies reaction. her ex husband and her relationship. There was an emphasis on the pain and the method of dealing with the trauma
2. They want to keep viewers, viewership retainment is important. He has been introduced in the last 5 minutes of the episode today. Simply because the makers want viewers to return on monday after the weekend.
So yes slow burn is good, but pulling it like a chewing gum is not.
