it depends to be honest... when i am in a mood to watch some realistic drama with a quality story, a drama that we can relate with easily, fine acting, and one that ENDS soon.. with not much OTT stuff.. then i watch pak dramas... that's the characteristic of pak drama - good story, short and simple, and very realistic...
when i am in a mood to just watch some cute romance, or some good looking actors, some awwww-worthy OTT cliche style romance... ya drama... a drama that doesn't end soon, one in which i can see my fav couple for a long time in all sorts of cuteee lovey dovey scene... tab i watch an indian drama..
both have their own diff. sort of appeal i wud say, since i have been watching both since quite a long time.. yea indian dramas can be a bit OTT at times, specially ekta ones.. but most non-ekta dramas are not that bad.. for eg starone dramas are bery youth based... cute stories....very good looking actors and actresses... the good factor abt indian drama is their actors, and the fact that becuz they r long running - they pay even minor storyline angles major detail.. for eg in a love story, they wud play it out in full detail.. with many romantic sceness b/w the lead couple... in a pak style love story - the couple's personal lives wud always be behind the camera..and only the overall story wud be focused on... and plus indian dramas have real good editting, camera effects, sound system... production and direction mein they excell like mariam mentioned above..
so.... short span ka meaningful content-based drama dekhna ho toh pak drama dekho.. and agar full of romance lovey dovey cliche story but good looking cast and some fantastic editting special effects type long running sa drama dekhna ho to indian dekho.. i watch and like both :)
