First of all thank you so much for creating this much needed post! I am really excited for sharing my opinions here.
Now coming to the Point---
Likings:-
All the Abhiya scenes and Abhay's beautiful, soulful dialogues ( "Main Andhera hoon.....")
Dislikings:-
There are many.
1. The ultimate ruining of the epic love of Mathili and Abhandra.
2. Piya's character as strong headed person (act before thinking, sometimes a total dumb). Her personality developed a bit though, later on second season. But, I wanted to see a mature, strong, realistic Piya. She was an orphan. Hence, her thinking, life style had to be different and practical. Other than that I loved that fact how she grew deep feeling for Abhay after knowing his real identity (even though it was also a little drama initially!).
3. Making Siddharth a complete dark character rather than a perfect grey. Initially he showed feelings towards Panchi. But later on he was depicted as ultimate sadiist. He could be a game changer of ITV male leads.
4. No character development of Panchi (Making Danish re-entered into her life. Like What the h***! No girl in her sane mind will like that cheater!).
5. The annoying loopholes of the story. If you noticed, initially they had no intention to bring back Mathili as vampire. Might be, they were planing to make Piya as Mathili's reincarnation or something else (That episode of lost pendent in Pandher palace/ Misha and gang's planched, calling Mathili's soul.).
6. The second half of the story. At the end they messed it up totally. Werewolf part had so much potential. Without involvement of Mathili's stuff, they could've write a different story with werewolves and witches.
7. Misha-Kabir's relationship should have shown to the show more. The slow burn love between those two had so much potential.
8. No character development of T and not showing the reason why Kabir dated T out of sudden at the second half of the story. Why she had threaten him and all (I didn't like T and Panchi's deaths at the end.).
9. Jeh and Alina's family history should have shown clearly with the history of Vampire clan and why they were enemies now.
10. No proper background studies for the show. Mathili was Indian princess. Her dressing style and Abhandra's dress as well with others were not Indian. They were completely European inspired. (Like come on, want to copy it then use your brain properly CVs!). The historical significance should have followed.
11. Lastly, how could a person still be in 1st year of college after almost 2.5 years? Like seriously? College campus realities and student life should be shown in ITV serials more realistic way! Isn't it, guys?
These are my options about my best show so far. Even with so many flaws I still do love my Abhiya since 2010, 18th October! It will never change. I also read everyone's replies on this post. I like all of them. By the way, what do you think about my one? Let me know! ❣
