Being an overseas myself I expected better from her. Stupid and absurd heroines are borderline irritating for me. I want flawed heroine who actually makes sense like Zubiya in YKS.
I don't mind arrogant heroes having grey shades, walking with gun as long as they make sense and do not cross the line of toxicity, because such characters have a lot of depth and are interesting to decode for me, as they are unpredictable.
Heroes like Dawood, Saad and Armaan are just too easy to predict but I appreciate humans like them, except Saad since he doesn't looks like a human with brain 😆
The drama went overboard with the stereotype and it's there from both sides. Just because there is this sterotype that Americans live in their own bubble doesn't mean they should built an entire character on that stereotype. even the conservative behaviour of dawood is extreme as well. They are supposed to live in karachi which i guess is one of the biggest cities in indian subcontinent but he behaves like koi pind se aaya hai😆. The funniest was how he was lecturing kim about how wrong she is to think her pov was the right one when he and his grandfather have the same😆. But the drama does have the old school charm and i like its simplicity. Even when characters do absurd thinks it don't look ott.
I don't find Aaliya or kim absurd or stupid. Kim is stubborn but she is good to people who are good to her and dont try to impose anything on her. She don't like people forcing their ideologies on her. She is a single child brought up by a rich father so she will be spoiled in some sense and she is blunt but she isn't stupid. Ignorant maybe.
Aaliya is not even spoiled or blunt. She is right now the most relatable female lead out there. Gets emotional with people close to her heart but have a brave face on for others. That's pretty much how most people are. She also isn't very self righteous. She bends her ethics to run her household. A lot of people do that in real life.
