2. Comparisons to other shows.I've seen many comments about how other "unworthy" shows continue to do well. "Unworthy" or not, they are doing well, something that LTL is NOT in comparison to before. Viewers have their reasons for watching--we may not totally get it. I don't necessarily look down on other shows or the people that watch them--I leave it as "it's not for me". But I applaud the other shows for delivering on their promise--networks and staying true to their core viewer. Whether their core viewer wants the overly dramatic flair or the psycho family drama or oversentimental love story, these shows have delivered.
1. Naku's FR as poison pill. In your opinion, is the average LTL viewer, if we there is such a "type", mainly watching for the face reveal? Or, rather, the quality of the story?
I mainly watch LTL because of the story and how they bring it up. Each and every actor in the LTL does the best work. LTL team is giving what i want. Yes they are dragging but the only serial I watch continuously, never miss the episode. Till now the essences of story never get spoil that is making me to sit and watch the serial. When I was I college my colleagues will chat about serial. It seem so funny to me I use to watch serial I won't join them. But now every thing change it is like I am addicted to LTL.
FR ' I am eagerly waiting for it first I was angry at nakku for not reveling her face. When DP story come I completely understand that CV is planning for some thing good so I am waiting for it.
2. Comparisons to other shows.
I never watch any serial continues as LTL. One in a while I watch bidai, satiya, geeth. But I never chat or think about that show. LTL is completely different than other show it affect me. Romance compare to other serial tasha love is so natural. In other serial most of time couple hug nothing real like seeing on movie. In LTL when tasha hug each other it so passion. MR and MV act so good and natural. I don't see any actor or actresses who act like them so natural. There acting is one of the big essence of the story. That is make me to watch the show
When I see tasha love I find that how much my hubby love me how I did not know about him and his love. I learned so many things from tasha. Thing I couldn't change the thing I have to change. But no other serial make me feel like that. Never touch my heart
3. Romance, romance, romance (HOLD ON tight dears, you may not like this!)
It is so natural on LTL. I love it yar. They way datta make her sit on bed. They way he hug her, they way he hold her face, they way she behave when ever he hold her hand or hug her, or when he hold her face, the way he hold her hand. so many thing. I love tash romance on ltl

Nevertheless, the story is still going well, in a more understated period at the moment, which is appreciated by many. Exactly....word! The story is definitely going well in my opinion as well.
I understand what you mean though, that the FR begins holding characterization hostage. We saw it with Nakku after the whole Chunkey Pandey deal LMAO his name was CHULBUL Pandey, Fatty.....the character from Dabangg😆😆 and flower-fan debacle. Agree about this otherwise though.....the flower-fan bits were total NONSENSE and really put me off as well....as well as the mega extended Bappa jaap that everyone did for two-three solid straight weeks.
Thankfully, the Damodar Patil track came in effectively enough to distract from the FR and Nakku's character had a chance to act more normally in the circumstances, forgetting her guilt for a while. Exactly....the DP track brought back the essence of Naku's character and her relationship with Dutta again and she was back in character....and out of her usual awkward guilt-trip mode which I for one was quite thankful about.
Now as the DP track comes to a culmination, they tread into that dangerous territory again...will they go ahead with the wedding and delay the FR (pretty W*F scenario, FR after marriage that is) or start up the FR dilemma again and lead it into the prenuptial ceremonies? If they go with the latter, and maybe even make FR accidental as seems to be their plan, there's still a chance that the characters will be able remain true to themselves. Delaying it beyond that though...I just don't see it as plausible. Nakku going ahead with the marriage without being fully honest would be character assassination...not only hers, but even Babi (although she's pretty butchered already) and Baaji's. I think for now, Nakku will console Dutta after DP's death....so maybe a week or so goes in that, then most likely the FR dilemma will be back as talks of the marriage begin again....and it remains to be seen what Nakku decides there....cuz there is no valid argument to go ahead with the marriage without doing the FR....even Babi and Baaji have enough sense to know that once the marriage happens, even 'samajhdar' Nakku won't be able to hide her truth any longer.....so they can't pressurize her into keeping mum either....and she won't have a valid reason to refuse also....so the way I see it.....FR will happen....whether by accident or design ....and no marriage for now.....there will be the post FR drama to deal with for a while again.

@red: I'm pretty positive now that FR will be accidental. Even though it'd be much, much better for Nakku to reveal herself, I now feel like it'd be poetic justice if the 'decision' to tell is taken out of her hands just because of how much she and Babi have stalled. With Kala out for the kill, Sudarshan-Ganpat storyline, Baaji knowing and then the accidental reveal...these factors will help in making the biggest and best possible explosion 😆 Nakku coming clean herself would be too tame now, and they will make it accidental if only to create humongous drama for the TRPs and understandably so, since this is the peak of their story.

By accident, do you mean Kala revealing it?? Cuz that won't be accidental....lol...that would be very much by design....but yeah I totally agree that Naku's not going to be the one to reveal the truth....most definitely not....someone else will reveal it and then Nakku will have to bear Dutta's wrath cuz he'll refuse to listen even if she tries to give him explanations then. That is how the high drama will come in which is expected since this is like the show's biggest high point that everyone's been waiting to see since a while now. .....and yeah agree about the poetic justice bit as well.....woh toh hona hi that given how Nakku stalled it for so long....no matter what the reasons in b/w....but now she'll have to bear the consequences....
Nakku revealing the truth would be way too tame like you said and too anti-climactic also😆.....reveal toh koi aur hi karega....and Nakku likely won't get the chance to reveal her side of the story at all......if done well, this can really make things quite interesting for the future of the DN relationship and how Dutta ultimately realizes why she hid herself behind the black makeup all these years and what all lecherousness she's dealt with while he overcomes his own insecurities about how beauty=betrayal.
