@ athena - 😃 Hey, yes I am.
Let's just say I am 'returning' to KDMHMD. I watched it at the beginning. Right up until the epi when Heer gets lost in that storm. I read the precap later that night and it said she will end up with amnesia. (Surprise surprise)
I quit watching that night. I have an aversion to Ekta serials. I had never seen any desi telly till then, let alone Ekta. But other family members watch them. So occasionally I would go to my maayka's and catch a little bit when the others were watching. I would return 6 months later to find that the story had moved about a sentence! 😕
I would see one character with one man. I'd go back to my mother's 3 months later and be told she had married someone else!!
So, although I hadn't watched any Ekta as such I had a pretty good idea of her formula and I wasn't (am still not) a huge fan.
But recently I came across an old article that said Preet had married Meher, and as I had always wanted these two to get together in the beginning and I loved Preet, I decided to take a looksy.
I should have known better. One look at the MeeT chemistry and storyline and I was sucked right in.
I kept telling myself...I'll watch until Ekta starts her bakwas then I'm out. I just didn't expect her bakwas to start so soon (I've only started re-watching for about 3 weeks).
I'm now kicking myself for having started down this path, because I genuinely think the MeeT story is a very unusual and sweet story with a lot of potential. Besides, all serials have a lot of drama, conflict and tension anyway. It wouldn't hurt to have one single positive track that provides an outlet for the good, happy things.
Glad my posts agree with you 👍🏼
