I do watch Pak dramas.
There is a difference between our dramas and Pak dramas in the format. Generally, their dramas end after a particular time period and some of the dramas when they are getting telecasted, they are at the end of the shooting. Ours is mainly a long format and based on the TRP they introduce changes in the tracks or they change the tracks. And also some of their dramas adapt Itv style shooting like the grandeur to attract the audience.
Yes, the difference is in quality vs quantity.
There is no point creating 3000 episodes when there is no real content or story to fill in those episodes. Because there is no story, to drag the show they introduce mindless things like plastic surgery, duplicates, love triangles, and year leap. These shows do not thrive on story, they just thrive on "moments" created by lead pair. At times these moments seem forced rather than organic.
Imo, It's better to create 30 episodes with a quality story and end it there. That is more impactful.
End of the day it all boils down to trp and ad revenue. Hence, no one bothers about the craft i.e story telling as long as they make money. The moment cashflow stops, take the show off air and refurbish the same story with another pair of actors. Sorry state of affairs!
