So it has been 3 whole weeks and I am not impressed. The first week was just horrible but I thought that the show just started so i'll give few more episodes but even after 15 episodes my opinion is still the same.

Lets start with acting- I just hate hate hate Vivian's acting. I don't know if he is just a horrible actor or if Ekta is making him look like a horrible actor. I mean come on dude you are the main lead..so I agree that he is pretty cute but that is not enough. He has no expression and no sense of dilivery. I swear even a corpse can manage better expressions then him. So i get it that he is trying to act all indiffrent and emotionless but he just plain sucks. I mean take the Remeo-Juliet audition part- I have no idea how they all thought that his acting for 'mind blowing'...he didn't even move a single emotion muscle. Now lets talk about his walk?? what is the deal with that...he walks like he has two left feet...and here I thought that vampires are suppose to be light and quick on there feet. And don't even get me started on his wardrobe...he is suppose to be this super rich spoiled brat so shouldn't his clothes be top notch and designer too. To me it looks like that he wears the same black jacket and trousers in every single episode. Ekta Kapoor needs to get her act together and start molding Vivian into a badass vamp..not some constipated emotionless wannabe.

I have no complain about anybody else's acting cuz I think they all did a brilliant job and if you compare their acting to Vivian's then they are kings and queens of telly acting!!

So far the story is mixed copy of Twilight and Vampire Diaries with an added character here and there.

I really really hope that Ekta will soon come to her senses and will stop blindly coping other peoples work and use her imagination for once. If not then I hope she gets supper sued by Stephenie Meyer and L. J. Smith!! I know its harsh but she needs to stop making money with other people's work and for once use her brain.

And Vivian please please please start taking some acting lessons...my suggestion-hire Ian Somerhalder...he is the best broody/badass vampire acting expert out there.

So there was my rant for this week...I mean no harm..this is just MY opinion and we are all entitled to agree and disagree with each other. Please no cursing or threats from all you Vivian fans..this is just creative criticism from my behalf..enjoy!

Edited_______________________________________________________________________

Calm down guys...i was just giving my opinion...it is a free country and we are all entitled to our opinion and we can express it freely.
And the thing about comparing the show to Twilight or The Dairies...how can you not...Ekta is coping word to word and scene to scene from them so it is kindda hard to not think about them when you are constantly being reminded about them. Like i said before that I have no problem with using somebody else's work for inspiration but plagiarizing it and passing it as her own is just plain wrong.
And then about Vivian's acting...I am not the only one who thinks that he could use some improvement...and I didn't mean to bash him or anything...i was just giving MY opinion and you are free to agree or disagree. And if you still have problem with what I wrote then STOP READING IT...you are not being forced to do anything....so please calm down...it was just some some creative criticism and if we won't be hard on the actors and the directors then how else will they progress and give us some thing worth watching.

lol i was thinking the same abt the black jacket, i mean whats up with those jackets is he is rich he can be a little trendy too bt as in all ekta's the lead has to wear a super formal jacket.

when the show got delayed i sure thought someone has sued ekta 😆

talking abt acting i dont like sukriti's too maybe we can say she sometimes overplays the character bechaari

well all i can say is...if ekta is supposed to be sued for mixing some shows and adding her own twists in it...then i guess even Steph M should be sued for beeing inspired and using ideas of vampires from vampire stories and shows before her books......its no denial in that ekta has taken ideas from here and there....but flashnews dear...who isnt??? in the show and movies industry these days? copy or not....PKYEK has its own charm....for me and many...nd well i agree the show has flaws...i for one was first dragged to the show cause of Sukirti nd her easy n sweet acting...and she is till main reason...but as the show developed i got used and addicted to it...as for Vivian...yes he was in need of extreme improvment the first week....but comparing him now with then he has done remarkable improvment....and is acting emotionless and cold as Abhay is supposed to be.....he has the face , the attiude and the bodylanguage....he need to improve dialogue delivery.....which will happen with time...
and Abhay is not suppose to be edward. damon, stefan....etc...he is supposed to be Abhay....a 'good spoiled ' i dont give a damn' hunk' with a bleeding scar deep inside...and vivian is fair with showing it...and will hopefully get better real soon
i am linking the refreshing environment and diffrent lovestory from the typical current ones on TV....so i gave it a chance and now am fully enjoying it:)...so will u if u stop comparing in ur mind....and if not dear...then will talk abt suoeing this one whenever all the other ones which are on the lost of copyright ,worldwide ....got sued:)
no offnece...and sorry for beeing harsh...but i have seen like 3-4 more topics on this last weeks....so i just had to say something.

i dont know going by ekta's standard even if we keep the copying aside the acting of the mains is nt upto par. sometimes it feels like we are getting a jumble of scenes to place in order so in some epis editing is a little off too, maybe 15 more epis will do it. i picked up the serial bcoz of twilight bt its seriously dissappionting esp now with the letter plot thats so ekta kapoorish it doesnt really suit the show

@black jacket.....even Angel wore black clothes and a black coat all the time, most of the time...no one seemed to have a problem with it....give its some time...he'll probably were something else later
as for Sukirti....well thats probably ur POV in minority....thats the only charatcter i am fully satisfied with...she make Piya so touchable n Belivable....i dont think some moments where she is lower are mentionable compared to her almost always easy, safe and natural acting....as a matter of fact i think its that she is in such level that we expect her always to be on the high position in terms of acting....so when she sometimes becomes like the typical actings we r used to in tellywood we see it as overacting from her side..... but normal from others...cause thats what they are.
She is awesome...i am sure hooked and involved with Tellywood mainly casue of her ....but as for PKYEK it has a great cast compared to other tellywood shows...all r doing fine for sure...improvments are required...but they r fine as they are.

as i said i m jst nt satisfied with the whole show sth is seriously missing i still maintain abt sukriti bt there lets agree to disagree

as for black jacket now i think abt it maybe they r trying to potray him as black angel😆bt still black is also full of options lets wait nd see

thats exactly the problem....u expect twilight...its not gonna be twilight...and u expect a movie edit from a Daily soap??....not even in hollywood that comparsion would have worked.....and be sure that u'll never get into it if u keep comparing....just watch it for what it is...and u'll find the charm of its own in no time....
and disagreemnt.....even if oscar winning actors would be in a show like this the edit sometimes would make them look the problem of the show....so its not casts fault...as for main lead...they r fire...Vivian as i said needs improvment....and he will get it....suku is among those who makes Tellywood worth watching......so together they'll create a beautiful lovestory....accep it for what it is...not what u think its should be....
example....vampires glow in the sun😕....if it was this show comming up with something like that i am sure many would laugh and make fun of it...even if the effect was superb....just cause its India and Ekta...but hollywood gave us twilight....Edward sparkle!....we bought it just like that....and well it was beautiful....no complains....why?....cause...they give the standards???😕...why no comparsion there with previous vampires who would usally not be able to stand the sun? cause...well the effect looks great ...its hollywood....whatever they give is awesome, right?🤔
i hope u get my point.
