I don't get why they are trying to compete with itv dramas in that aspect 😔
I had beared it only for a while but it's become extreme headache. I think the newer batches in the last year just made it worse too.. I sometimes stop these shows for my own anger because it grosses me out to see brothers threatening to kill their sisters.. or mothers justifying abuse or cheating for "izzat". That's why I started watching more Indian dramas because although many end up on dragged side of course but less of honour killing and in-law drama, misogyny. 😔
I loved YKS, I binged it and was in love with Sajal's character ZGH is my mom's favorite forever.. she will never get over that show 😉. I have seen Tanhaiyan and the way they had no annoying dialogues in the show... the story pace., everything fell in so perfectly 😳. I think the last drama I've liked in recent times that had minimal misogyny and powerful female characters were probably Malaal-e-Yaar and Sabaat.. after that I haven't really seen much of that sort
