Omg…ignoring the promo and the last scene, I otherwise LOVED the episode, the M&M screen time, their angst and romance and allllll of that. It renewed my love for this show.
Honestly, the last week I’ve been very disillusioned with the show and felt like quitting it. As someone mentioned, they get to the middle and the shown is ruined, and I was beginning to feel that way here. I really had developed a great disliking to Meerab (no, her past doesn’t excuse all of her ridiculous actions), and was just not feeling the romance scenes as much either. (Chemistry is still there, always there, holy moly these two have insanely hawwwwt chemistry.) But, it still didn’t grab me the way they used to b/c I was just tired of Meerab and how they were portraying her.
Thankfully (in the first part of the show, anyway) Meerab came in like a shining yellow bright light (in form of salwaar kameez) and brought the tashan and then tears with her Mr. Man. It felt good to feel for Meerab again…or even just feel what she is feeling. They gave her more dialogue, for inner monologue, and more time to express herself…it worked to restore my good will towards her 😂 .
AND…what I was worried about the most…that I wouldn’t believe or feel her love for Murtasim, I actually did!!! I liked that Nooran wrote this aspect of Murtasim’ s life and her finding out about it into the scrip at this particular point. I was able to see Meerab being very affected by it, and it WAS believable to me. What a nice surprise indeed.
So, I will ignore the continuing stupidly on her part re: Anus for today, and pretending I didn’t see the promo and what it foreshadows.
