The worst part of the show (almost all ITV shows actually) is that the audience feedback is never even considered. The actors and the team do put in their efforts but it is the audience who make the show popular, shower their love and support to it.However,they are used and thrown away as tissue papers as if they don't even exist.The only good thing about this show has been SuMaan, their irresistible chemistry, thier swag and their acting THATS IT.
Honestly I never got attached to the characters as I started watching mid-way and after Arylie marriage they dumbed down Aryan so much that if Fahmaan was not playing Aryan, I woundnt even watch the show.
On paper, Aryan is the epitome of a selfless lover, a great mentor, a caring husband but post marriage he is shown as a person without brains and about Imlie, the less said the better.
I am a big romance novel reader and I remember once I asked in the book club why don't writers write a generational story and I got the answer that readers won't like their favourite characters to die but here on itv it's done on a daily basis.
Initially makers spend so much time and energy to establish a couple just to kill them off cruelly later. They actually don't give a f*ck what they are showing, what message is going out, who is winning; all they care about is their ego and money.
It's very PH, not just GK and honestly after seeing so many shows over ten years I'm used to it now 🤷♀️
I thought that I would not rant about it,but since you guys are discussing I will share my opinion. How many times have the audience requested the makers for a proper male antagonist? It's as if they are allergic to them. So what if AKT is not there,they could have brought a business rival and weaved the story around it. Since they are so obsessed with triangles why not make it two guys and one girl instead of the other way round. Even when people wanted Malini to be back they expected some crisp storyline but all we got was another baccha shoved down our throats,that too after the immediate end of a disastrous baccha track. They rushed through tracks instead of giving us the slow burn romance and then started telling that their is no story left to tell. After the leap initially the pace was good and just when we were loving the episodes they leaked the generation leap news. AryLie never got moments of peace or happiness. One episode a track ends, the next episode another one starts. At least give them a breather!.
As if all this was not enough now they would die at the hands of that Criminal whereas she would go unpunished for all the crimes committed. Fantastic!
