I have zero problems with morally ambiguous characters and stories. Instead, I look for stuff like that and I really enjoy them. And when it comes to romances, even if there is conflict or denial both parties are involved. But here.. itâs just one party carrying the whole show, thus saara ghalat sahi, good and bad all falls on him because the other one is stuck and has no contribution to the progression of story. See, heâs trying to protect her doesnât want her to turn to that weeping imlie, but from what? My major problem is theyâre not really showing tripathis as someone she needs protecting from, theyâre suddenly whatever they are today and she has never wanted to be protected from them. Their approval makes her genuinely happy and that weeping version comes out when she feels sheâs being separated from them. Itâs like yeah he has a version of what is right for imlie, but thatâs not her perception or choice of a good future lol. Her idea (actually shown once too, she was dreaming of it when she was with AKT) is making rotis for the family while she serves and theyâre all smiles and praise her
I think what would have saved this for me and made it much better is if they cared even a little about imlieâs side of the story and how she needs to progress too and actually showed her uncomfortable with the tripathis even a little, but bound by her cultural upbringing, thinking this is her duty. But sheâs not tired or exhausted or uncomfortable she loves it! And she genuinely is sad sheâs being taken away from âher familyâ. And the familyâs abuse is no longer being addressed, instead theyâre good people wanting best for her. So who is she being protected from? AKT? He too is being presented a bechara who imlie may still be pining after..
This frozen in time imlie, giving no thoughts to how her ex sasural abused her, overlooking how her ex sl*t shamed her. Having seen 100 comparisons of better and worse and still not caring, pining for exâs fam means she actually just.. likes the tripathis and genuinely wants to be with them. No conflict, nothing. So what is aryan even protecting her from? Heâs just trying to mould her into someone sheâs not because heâs made this false heightened version of her in his head and put her on some pedestal he is having trouble seeing sheâs not suitable for and in the process, losing himself.
And it messes with the couple dynamics for me a lot that only sindoor is what can make imlie like or think about aryan and not the 101 things he did for her. And that he has to force her to see him.
not that I donât enjoy stories like typical gulâs I have liked most her pairs, itâs just arylie were introduced and built up different I had really looked forward to a second chance story but seems like she didnât want to let go of the better ml narrative and also wanted her force marriage fantasy included so itâs a mixed up mess right now.. again, imlieâs side is what makes it uncomfortable now. there is no progress like they donât care sheâs also a part of this pair.. and the story would need to include her progression too..
I am just upset for all the better ways they didnât take, even better in this force marriage thing.. and kept imlie bound to akt and ts till the end..
