same here.. just that my comforting entertainment had remained kdramas for last more than 1 decade.. and just for this show and Aryan i hv put all my dramas (5 on air dramas on hold.. i hvnt watched a singlr episode of my weekly dose of 9 episodes) so you can see how much i am sacrificing for Aryan and how big impact he had made on my psyche.

but then i am blessed to find Kdramas for that matter as they taught me about Real Storytelling, Screenllay and how to tell a captivating story just with beautiful cinematography.

their the storyline, whole narrative, characters stick to the original plan makers dont change them until n unless its something grave (in my 10 years with kdramas there was just 1 show where they actually changed the male lead).

And thats why i love kdramas.. they start with a solid storytelling, great mis e scene, meaningful cinematography and all symbolisms are there. Storyline is build around those things and you can trust all the things you are seeing as you know this journey towards destination is built on trust.. trust between makers and you.. trust between characters and you.. trust between plot and you... and then there is consistency.. which remains intact from 1 second till the last. And i know i can count upon all things happening cause they are there for a reason.

but ITV shows can show all types of symbolism for one pair and when they think its time to get some fresh air.. new characters with similar set of symbolisms... where is consistency.. where is the trust between you as maker and the viewer... why viewer are being treated as some stupid fellow who will bite on whatever bone you throw. thats my biggest issir with ITV there is no respect for viewers as viewer. Despite its known viewers give you the TRP but they dont get deserved respect.

hope this changes in future.


I’ve never seen KDramas. There’s a ton on Netflix, some of them sound interesting. What you described is kind of why my parents really like Pakistani dramas I think. They will randomly find one they want to watch and watch it. But those have a story that they tell and then they’re done.

It sometimes bugs me when people say we shouldn’t be looking to ITV to make social statements and such. I’m saying this as someone born and raised outside of India, who hadn’t even really watch ITV until well into adulthood, but I think we should always expect more from the media we consume. Yes, there’s entertainment for the purpose of entertainment, it’s fun, but it can be done in a way that doesn’t take for granted the intelligence of your audience. Like, why shouldn’t ITV be taken a bit more seriously as well? Good, solid characters, good storytelling. It’s so sad to me when good shows that are trying to do something different get taken off air because of low TRPs. There used to be this one that I watched with my parents, it was about a woman who took her kid and left an abusive marriage. It was about her restarting in a new location, on her own, she became the coach of the local school cricket team - she used to play before she got married. Near the end there was a potential romance hinted at, but it barely lasted a few months.

if you want to give kdramas a try.. then start with below which are on Netflix.

1. Hometown Cha Cha Cha (we fans call it HomeCha)

extremely cute OTP (lead pair), with even cute and endearing ensemble cast, all fluff and lots of smiles and tons of life lessons. And one most satisfying ending of recent times in a kdrama. You'll not regret if decide to start... just that its conflict resolution gets more time than we expected but that was again inline with the character it was about.. so no complaints.


2. You Are my Spring

another extremely beautiful show with mental health as its core and 2 most amazing actors as leads. Whole story is so sad and painful yet satisfying to tug all ur heartstrings. It will make tou cry but by the end youll be glad you joined this journey of thise beautiful souls in finding their happiness.

.

back to the topic.. that Bold line thats my whole issue with ITV.. makers think if they cant give a healthy dish (as a good entertaining show) they can throw junk at us (in name of TRP) and it will give that to viewer's tastebud that they wil forget how bad it is for the health and till the time they realize there will be another junk ready to be served.

I just wish ITV makers use filmmaking as a tool to serve the audience and not to fool them in name of entertainment.

Wow - this thread is moving so fast. Finding it difficult to catch up now 😀.

Caught with Arylie parts and they are lovely in isolation. Love both Aryan and Imlie. Still confused when and how that car promo will play. Are they still showing that promo? Also the overall story is so underwhelming and dragging.

Also, I am not sure what is the issue with Gashmeer ( short break or leaving the show?) but the makers sure played it smart. They have slowly built an alternate ML and ensured that the change wasn't so abrupt to impact TRPs.

Thanks for the recommendations Telly! I’ll look them up and add some to my list.


And I agree!!! Being able to have the chance to bring important conversations to a large audience like ITV has is a privilege. But yet most just fall into the pattern of going with the same old. Even the shows that are on air, most of them have so much potential and then it goes nowhere and gets lost in the same old. Oh well. Hopefully we last here a while, fingers crossed for a slightly more satisfying story with Arylie. 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I had the same question regarding the promo, my understanding, as it was explained to me by some here, is that it’s not meant to actually be something that happens in the show but rather to set the tone and direction for the next phase of the story.

Haldi look of the Tripathi siblings. Rupi's outfit is simply pretty!
