ITV had their share of TB type couple 10-15 yrs back and in fact much better portrayed.EK shows start with bang , good plot , in fact even her supporting char and actors are good and I still stand by she was the one who gave all iconic couples else who would have ever thought Karan Patel and Shubhangi atre could hve chemistr. But her stories should stop max at 1.5 years as plot goes haywire after that .
But if ur in for good stories then u shld dig YouTube for 90 tv soaps - Alpviram, Hasratein they maybe old style but story is solid and performances are top notch .A mouthful of sky, sea hawks are few others .
Used to watch hasratein and dastan with mum, ahhhhhh lankesh I still say greatest onscreeen villain of all time. That is another missing on tv great villains. I loved dastan entry song, lived in Saudi so close to home for me.
Btw can you watch all these on YouTube, I saw they have some episodes but not complete set.
love or hate ekta you have to admit she knew casting magic, most of her iconic couples worked because she cast so well and understood which character fit which actor.
I will check out the list. There are still some Korean shows to check out, but lately there is a dry spell in the romance department we haven’t had a big blockbuster since hometown cha cha.
