YUDKBH was good at the beginning, but I left it after Samaina left college 😃
My key points for a show
1 Good story/premise
2 Good lead pairing (1 is probably more important than 2 because I often discover good pairs after seeing the story 😃, but 2 often gets me to watch the show first)
3 Channel on which it's airing (generally Sony + SAB/Sitara/Zee/Colors in that order of preference)
4 No overzealous villains (especially within the family)
5 No toxic stories (so I really don't prefer manhandling ML's and Stockholm Syndrome reformation projects)
I watch the show till the main pair falls in love or gets married. Once they do, then things often get stretched and you get irrational stories for separation/drama sake. At which point I check out, and simply follow the odd scene online (case in example KKB with Pranbir currently)
Sony will have a Bijlani + Winget serial soon. I like Bijlani (MJHT), like Winget (Beyhadh) and like Sony in general (crisper stories- Beyhadh, IPZN, S9MK to name a few), so will probably give it a go when it airs.
If this serial was in Colors, I would probably watch it a bit at the beginning, and then lose interest as it inevitably stretches for the drama part (for eg Bepannah)
