Just finished watching Ishqiya! Overall I enjoyed it but it did drag quite a lot. Too many flashbacks and zooming in on sad faces. It could have been wrapped up in much less than 28 episodes. Humna irritated me the most, she didn't have the courage to speak up when it mattered and in the process she ruined so many lives. Even if she was scared to tell her father at the time she agree to marry Azeem, she should really have said something once Hamza came with the marriage proposal for Rumi. How could she stand by and watch her sister's married life begin on a note of revenge and payback?

I really didn’t understand what Hamza saw in her to begin with, she seemed lifeless and uninteresting to me and she got worse after marriage 😆 Poor Azeem got a raw deal marrying her. She had a blank expression the entire time and she mostly only spoke to him to ask him if he wanted tea 😆

Humna shouldn't have kept Hamza in the dark about her marriage and shouldn't have shut him out the way she did. I mean you have the courage to date a guy on the sly for 4 years but you don't have the decency to tell him you're getting married to someone else.

Nevertheless, Hamza did a terrible, terrible thing. Rumi's life was ruined by his act of vengeance for no fault of her own and her own sister stood by and watched the madness unfolding while bemoaning her own fate and feeling sorry for herself 🤬Hamza and Rumi I thought were so much fun together, she was such a livewire (initially I found her over the top but then she grew on me and I liked that she happily issued orders to everyone including to Hamza😆) But it was also very weird to watch their cute/romantic scenes together on the one hand and then watch him go and obsess over Humna and force her to meet him, keep calling her etc etc). Waste of a fun, easy chemistry between Hamza and Rumi. Felt awful for Rumi throughout but honestly what's with girls' fathers agreeing to marry off their daughters to virtual strangers without even doing a background check on the guy??

Hamza's family was a bit OTT but fun. I loved that they supported Rumi so much and when the awful truth came out, they stood solidly with her and against their own son. Unusual to see such family dynamics.

Also unusual to see a husband like Azeem who didn't divorce or throw out his wife once he learnt of her past. I don't think it was her past per se that bothered him, it was the fact that she hid it from him and that it was with her own brother in law. Azeem seemed more agitated by the fact that he had unwittingly played a part in wronging Rumi.

Oh well another sad ending. On the one hand it would have been nice to see Hamza and Rumi end up together but it's better that they didn't. The betrayal for Rumi was too much to bear and I think she had too much self respect to continue in the marriage which she now saw as a complete sham. Good to see a strong woman character.

Hated Humna getting her happy ending after causing havoc and destruction all around her🤬

👆 Sorry for the super long post!

Yes any recommendations are welcome. I think among FK serials Khaani and KAM3 are talked about a lot. I have been reluctant to try out serials of other actors because FK's acting is just so good plus he's very easy on the eyes 😆

Yes...limited episode shows are generally tighter packed and since they don't drag, less potential of becoming a torture on your mind. 😆

Heard somewhere that Pakistani shows are being extended from 25 to 32 episodes these days to recover more money since production costs have gone up. Unfortunately the scripts are not being written with enough meat for 32 episodes so we end up having all this dragging.

I guess no one gives a damn about viewers when it comes to money...

His performances were amazing in both, I recommend both but first is Khaani, my personal favorite... His portrayal of Mir Hadi was something else ❤️ As for KAM3 maybe you should leave it for later, at least currently, cause I've read your post about Ishqiya and you mentioned unnecessary dragging... That's pretty much the case with KAM3 too but it was understandable since they had to cover 39 episodes, it was quite a lot... Nonetheless, he performed great in both dramas!

I had used a part from this as the Basit intro pic in the first posts of the last 2 DTs. This thread onwards have ditched that. And yesss...he looks gorgeous.

Yes I noticed that the gifs weren't there anymore.. So sad... Both of them looked amazing in those shots 😍

Why m i unable to post a link here?

Loved reading this review of yours! Haven't watched the show but have heard so much about it from here and there. I think the popular opinion at the time was that Humna should have been punished as well.

hehe... you can watch Bilal Abbas' dramas. He is another of my favourites. But meanwhile, will look forward to your reviews of whichever FK show you decide on watching for the week. Only remember we are doing a group watching of Dil Kya Karey once Habs finishes. So do that with us. Will be fun. The rest is up to you.

As for Bilal's dramas, watch Dunk and Ek Jhooti Love story. He has a very different type of screen presence compared to FK's but also really great.

They know that we will continue watching since we want to see our couple come together...so they will rake in the sponsor ad money by dragging it over another 10 episodes more than necessary
