We already said after we have seen some asian dramas liking a hindi serial was hard. The expectation becomes high. But I was windering how many reasons are there? 😃
My reasons
1. Story progress :: Indian ones just don't work anymore. Maybe if I saw a decent one it would make sense. But I can't remember the last time I was satisfied. One day the guy hates the girl, after two days he is in LOVE with her. Even though the girl has done nothing exceptional. On the other hand the girl has showed little to no signs of being interested all of a sudden she is IN LOVE with him too. As days go by it only seems to get worse. Love doesn't even make sense. How exactly does love happen? Times are changing but shows are still filled with moral values from 17th century. Why does a woman have to be a complete airhead to be a good righteous person?
2. very very very very very (almost none) variety with same spice:: When a show starts the audience says oh this is a little different. Two days later it all goes back to the same thing. Rich guy, middle class girl (because middle class is the new untouchable), and scheaming family. I have noticed many asian shows also do the same thing but the story takes different routes. They are told differently. Almost all indian ones are told int he exact way in different order. Except for a handful (forget handful maybe one or two) all the guys are "BUSINESSMEN". ::yawn::
3. I am a crazy love triangle fanatic but has there every been love triangle in hindi serials without one of them being backstabbing villain? There are some..(only some..but those are like old people triangles now that I think of them) Indian love triangles are so dissapointing.
I will add more later! have to go!😃

1.story progresses

2. they dont care about unending soaps, a soap ends when it has to end! a natural ending in place!

3.ppl are loud and over the top like indian movies

4. no graish costumes.. all decent acceptable daily wear!

5. heroines who look like dolls!

many more!

  • Indian serials never ends (just awesome🤢)

  • drags on one situation FOREVER (until you scream vigorously MOVE ON😡😆)

  • Rona Dona gets on ur effing nerves 😡

  • Make-Up usage is like their acting in a horror movie 24/7

  • the villain deserves to be in a mental hospital or jail (Indian serials still have the villains laughing out loud furiously😲😆)

  • FREAKING cheesy dialogues🤢

  • The misunderstandings are like the universe....never ending😕

  • REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE...Sweet REVENGE😈

  • Main-role dies.......NO WAIT!!!!!! they just had plastic surgery after a coma & they forgot EVERYTHING😲 while they are like that⭐️ their love interest/wife/husband marries someone else🥱 & the rest is HISTORY😲

  • Main-role goes crazy.........BUT NOT REALLY😉just faking to find out something OR to get revenge because of a misunderstanding

  • the good guy always turns to the worst villain EVER😆

  • soo many Pujas, worshiping god scenes 🥱

  • the cloths the actresses are wearing are from the MahaBarat era⭐️

  • REAALLYY cheesy suhag-raat/romantic scenes🤢

  • the camera angles, replays of one shot repeatedly makes you dizzy 😆

  • the sound effects are sooooo lameeee..like REALLY🤢

  • the songs they are using are overrated movie songs🤢

  • Random item songs of the currently popular song in Bollywood🤢

  • should i go on FOREVER?????????😃

reason for liking asian drama's
cos they finish quickly no draggy story like Ekta' crap serial which are never ending.
2 episode contains like romance between main lead then all rhona dhona again.

asian drama's are better.

And not forgetting 20-year leap.... parents still look younger even than their own children
The middle-class girl not able to afford anything but still able to look after her bigggggg *spread hands wide* family like no worry
At the end, there's always loop holes, reason behind suspenses still left hanging, whatever happened to the remaining important casts in the end other than the main leads
Brain tumour, cancer, illnesses is a-must in Indian dramas... but still they are able to heal from it no matter how many times they get it - What a miracle!
Male leads get beaten up so bad but then the following day, all their wounds vanish - we surely would like that too!

With me, i used to know what was happening in every single drama (n i mean every drama) now i only follow one drama (santaan) n thats cuz i come home at 6pm and its on all the time..
The thing about indian dramas is that they keep repeating the same thing.. it drags and never seems to end! East ASian shows are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better cuz they drag for one episode and then it moves on.. no one cries for a month and then gets happiness for 2 seconds then back to crying.. they know their tear duct limits.
although many shows have leaps. its nothing rediculous like 20 years etc.. 5 max and they dnt have designer grey hair where theres one streak on one side..

^ I still have that. Even though I don't have time to watch anything I still need to know once every two week what is happening in Bidaai, mjht. I read daily updates in Choti Bahu. After a long time I really liked that show. I thought it was so unique that the show stayed so true it's concept. The subtitle is "sindoor bina suhagaan" and she truly is sindoor bina suhagan. Even it thought it has been dragging for a month, I am really curious to see what happens next. That leaves Kitani mohabbat hai. I write updates 2 days a week.

I know Asians think the same way about their drama the way we think about hindi serials. But coming for half a hour of episode filled with nothing but stupidity, the aisan one hour episode are awesome

HOT guys, Hot guys, HOT guys!!! 😆
iJOKE! I think you all have pretty much summed it up, have nothing to add. Asian dramas are like way better than the crap-fest these hindi channel showers us with.What annoys me the most is that happiness is so short-lived in the indian serial as there is always someone there to muck it up. And than the whole dragfest begins...

yehh i got into bidaai then they changed the time (clashes with the time i watch korean dramas 😆) and choti bahu just seemed to dragggg..
i think with hindi serials you miss about 2 weeks, you havent missed much.. you miss 1 hour of KDrama.. you miss quite a bit... parallel story lines seem to move on and stuff
