Hola folks,
I am on episode 81 now! Yes, that means I am past the confession episode...😊. Yesterday ...I just sat on my device and watched one episode after the other for several hours...Hubby was really upset that I "wasted" a perfectly wonderful Saturday and refused to go out...😳...but as much as I tried to tell myself all the stuff waiting for me...upcoming travel...all the shopping that needs to be done, a performance of Othello in town...this and that...but nothing could make me put that device down...! Well ...now that I am past that...I think I have to slow it down...,also have a book club meeting on Friday and I am not even done with reading half the book...😛
Any who...back to KRP...years after years I have watched desi soaps that take a love story and stretch it like a rubber band...lacing it with all kinds of plots which often involve misunderstanding...and crazy things...for months and months...and we the viewers ...many of who have no interest in such crazy and made up stuff watch it...for small trickle of that love story that we like...But ...with KRP...I am just so pleasantly surprised that none of that is true...so far...The love story is as natural as it can be...The leads have already confessed to each other...even the "other woman" ...yes Natasha has been shown to be very reasonable and understanding. And no, they haven't fallen in love because they are the only reasonably "desirable" characters in the story...There is a good looking, good natured and very competent secretary; there is another rich, good looking dude who is quite interested in the FL...These are not desperate people with no choices ...They DO have plenty of choices and are not forced into anything due to some kind of "situation" ...They are "choosing" to do what they want to do...knowing fully well what are the options and consequences...NOW that's what makes it so good in my opinion...
Every show or a piece of creative work requires everything to click to make a lasting impression...The actors have to make the characters believable...the director has to show the story in a way...that it remains intriguing and interesting at the same time, the cameraman the background music person, the editor, the costume designer...everyone has to do their jobs well for creating a product that the audience buys into...BUT most importantly, in my opinion, it is the team of writers that can make or break a story...They are the ones who conceive these characters we fall in love with or hate...or sometimes neither of those...but just relate to in some ways...if not all...and that's where I think...KRP team has been really impressive! Even side plots are so interesting, funny and enjoyable...like the one in which Sona's mom is trying to become a writer...
I AM LOVING IT!!
