As for boxing it in any category. It is not a traditional alpha on alpha love story, especially Murtasim who is not your stereotypical Alpha bad boy. It is not Meerab that is letting us down, it is Murtasim. What we feel for her is disappointment, but Murtasim is pissing me off, we want to be on his side but he is not making it easy. If you are going to break established stereotypes you need the audience on your side.
I will give them a few episodes to salvage the blunder. We are taking it episode by episode, but if we watched this show in one go, a lot many things could fall together.
It's Pakistani television and they cannot go all out with the rough brutal alpha pair romance. What we assume is on the basis of their character traits. Fact remains, they are not able to box Meerab and Murtasim. Meerab still maybe, they have put her into the ice-cold brat category but not Murtasim yet.
The centre point is them and I still believe it. Obviously if they lose that focal point, they will lose audience.
Sure the writing could have been a lot more nuanced and logical, but what we have on plate is made much better by the actors. Again, the scrutiny is a bit too much because of the popularity, because it's not that all of their current dramas are too logical. Some fictional shows just mask illogical plots well or the writers manage to do that, this one fails exactly there.
