That's why sometimes I feel the era when we could watch a show without the BTS clips, excessive online discussions dissecting and demanding the story and characters to fit into audience perceptions, butchering story and characters for TRPs etc. The story teller had a vision and they followed their own vision from beginning to end. It was like reading a book...the book's contents cannot be altered to suit individual tastes...you like it or you dislike it. But at least the stories were original and not mass media driven.
I think that ship has sailed at this point.....the moment makers start responding to fangirl tweets on Twitter and validating whatever the fangirls are saying, you can see their mind is more on getting validation from fangirls than writing what comes naturally to the story.
I've liked the show too but the social media popularity is definitely a curse for this show given the way social media fangirls think and act.....it's all about reactionary short-sighted demands and token gestures then.
Oh well, they were anyways nearing the danger mark with the 100 episode milestone coming upđ. That usually marks the official downhill slide for most showsđ. Iske baad usually all they have is token gimmicks to get social media validation even if overall narrative is incoherent simply to keep the story going....lol
I was definitely enjoying this show more when I was binge-watching it and had no idea about the way social media was spinning characters like Ehsanđ.....best to watch shows with social media blockout only. LOL the only shows that survive the curse are those that usually have no social media presence where fangirls can twist everything into god knows what.
