I think that this show basically lacks happiness.
Like even in ekta shows, in the middle of the most depressing episodes, they'll have some couple romancing, or some joker to lighten the mood.
But here, if everyone is sad, then it stayes that way.
It lacks romance between couples.
Like, when Shubh and Jia were together, they were the only couple on screen, and all they showed was Shubh and Jia talking, never any cute moments, for which people watch these shows.
Shubh and Jia hardly got any screen space. Even in the scene where Shubh went to propose to Jia, Gayu was present
I know everyone will be revolted at the idea of Kartik-Anu romance, but there's only really been one good Adi-Nams scene
I think a lot of people are hard-core Adi-Nams fans, and they keep brining wave-after-wave of problems for them.
They focus too much on Par-Gayu.
Like Parikshit and Gyatri had their romance and their whole drama in the begining, and now everyone wantes to see what the younger generation does.
But they always focus on what Par-Gayu are talking about or planning or discussing.
Or even other characters.
Like they show what Dadaji-Vishaka are doing (playing chess, etc...) rather than what Adi-Nams will be doing.
Or they will show Poornima-Chandini discussing, or Poornima thinking rather than Kartik.
I think they give Kartik-Anu too much imortance and Adi-Nams, not enough.
Shubh and Suhana are hardly there unless they're both in some serious problem, in which, they again involve the parents
Apart from that, I love Santaan
