I do get what you mean. And even more than anything I think it's peoples reluctance towards Indian soaps. IPK had a lot of previous DMG fans, including myself and if I'm being honest I only began to watch QH two weeks ago. It was just because IPK ended on a similar note to DMG... There was just so much mess and hassle that I really couldn't be bothered with another headache like that.
The storyline of QH does draw you in but it only did for a while. I expected more and maybe they've now created a mistake with the whole press conference, increasing peoples expectations for nothing much really.
Anyway, I'm straying from the point. You are right, the previous shows ran because of mind-numbing chemistry. Even there if I'm being completely honest, I liked DMG as a whole and the chemistry wasn't what kept me roped in. IPK was the one that was just heart fluttering, mouth open gaping, heart palpitation wala chemistry and I think it would be difficult to recreate that.
QH has potential, if they keep the story running as it had been up till a week ago, they'll keep the audiences interest.
But the truth of the matter is, if you look at the bare bones of it; a lot of the madly interested, let's analyse each and every line, the fun fans; a lot of them have been driven away by the evident bad handling of Indian soaps and the ones left are ones with bitterness towards that. So the scope for those people to return, after what for most people would be two betrayals is probably not possible. I'd give it time, maybe they'll come back like I have 😊.
But I sincerely do hope they kick the show up a little bit, it's just going down for me now.
