Lmaooo Gaayu!!! 😲I don't watch Pakistani serials yaarrr! I start watching them but I leave them mid-way because they bother me sometimes lol I'll explain later. Let me answer the first part of your question!😊
In recent times I have only watched one Pakistani serial with interest and the name is Vasl. I won't call it my favourite but yes I started watching it because I liked the lead actors from before. Saw them on TV talk shows! (btw I watch pak talk shows okay lol) I watched it completely because of the lead actors and because it was shot in America and the scenery llooked refreshing!! Otherwise the story did not appeal to me!😲 it was the same get divorced, marry someone else, deal with life, compromise and what not.
Okay coming to the explanation! Pak serials make me feel uncomfortable because almost all of them focus on the evils of society! For example the concept of second marriage by the guy just because he is allowed to (even if it is not required), the guy continuing to stay with the first wife and having 3 other wives in different areas of the city, the father in law having an affair with the mother of his DIL, to the corruption in society, the extra marital affairs, and other evils and what not. These are just examples and I agree that this happens in real life and stuff but at the end of the day I will watch a certain serial so that it entertains me rather than make me depressed! I watch a serial to get refreshed, perhaps smile after a tough day at work, or maybe just to give a little rush of adrenaline with a bit of suspense. But I do not like such harsh in-your-face realities of life thrown at you by something that is meant to entertain you. Btw I am only talking of Drama Serials not the comedy serials! Those are a blast everyone should try them sometimes
Comparison
Pros of Pak Serials over Indian Serials
They have a short life
They have a set story from beginning to end hence no involvement of fans which is actually good lol
Brilliant Acting; I have never seen any actor go OTT in a Pak serial :s
Real Locations so the serial looks real (Eg: Restaurants, hospitals, etc are all real no sets!)
Natural Make up and Natural clothes and light jewellery, making it more real (Comparing only to certain indian shows in which the women slept in their heavy make up and jewellery)
Cons of Pak Serials over Indian Serials
They don't have Romantic Jodis! A girl with someone one day will be romantically involved with the other in the next episode! There are hardly eternal love jodis like Shanak that make us fall in love with them!
Too much focus on Evils in society!
They don't allow the viewer to get attached to the show and the characters or indeed any jodi (this could also be a Pro if a certain viewer doesn't want to get attached to them but I do hence it's a con for me)
I can't think of any more but I will surely edit if I do
