I really can hug you for this wonderful post! It's like putting into words all the frustration I have been feeling with the past few episodes!
We've all been waiting for months to see some progress, any progress in the GoHem track, and while their story was moving at a snail pace, at least it was moving forward, but now not only has the progress stopped, but like you said, at the personal level they are actually moving backwards.
Even after the accident, till Gopi was bedridden, we got some really sweet, almost bordering on romantic, Gohem scenes, there chemistry could be felt from those scenes. But for the past few weeks, ever since the focus turned to patching Raji, things have taken a turn for the worse. I mean initially we were all hopeful, thinking maybe Ahem while helping RaJi will try and patch their own relationship, but no, it has now become totally about them. Every conversation they have revolves around how to get RaJi together, and while I am sure they have the best intentions, these kind of relationship problems need time to be fixed, you can't force them to become better, and Ahem knows this better than anyone!
It really made me angry that after the whole maha awkwardness these two faced after the kiss it was RaJi that prompted Gopi to call him, and even then the conversation was extremely abrupt and to the point. And then just like that they're back to being comfortable with each other, and all is right...like someone mentioned yesterday, it seems that their entire story is taking place offscreen and we're only getting to see a few glimpses into it! And it's aggravating because when Gopi shows any sort of interest in their relationship, Ahem turns a blind eye (kangan) and when Ahem shows interest Gopi is completely oblivious (as proven by this whole RaJi patch up plan).
I have no idea where the CVs are planning to go from here, or if they plan of coming up with new tracks that have absolutely no relevance or connection to the previous one, because the storyline is getting choppier and more flawed by the episode! The spark that Gohem used to create of screen is gone, they're usually standing 5 feet apart, so it's like they're purposely trying to not show their chemistry! Every old storyline has been forgotten, and more nonsense ones are being introduced every two days, and you're right after all this time, the viewers deserve something, because all of this is just getting ridiculous! I watch many dramas, and this honestly has to be the slowest of them all, and this pace is getting severely annoying now!
And as for this whole Koki drama, I really have no idea what the heck seems to be going in the CVs head, I mean the way she yelled at Gopi today, for no reason, except for the fact that she and her husband are actually on talking terms, her attitude makes no sense, and it's become a serious downer in the series. Her constant need to be involved in everything is completely annoying, and her treatment of Ahem like he is a 5 year old, scolding him for everything, questioning his EVERY move, is becoming almost unbearable to see! If the CVs think that this will add the much needed spark to the serial, they are seriously delusional!
