unpredictable dramas of 2017

For me; I'd put KNK and YKS on top. 

Both Shows didn't have any actors with massive fan following and From the promos, I deemed them uninteresting but it wasn't about half way in with each show that I fell in love with them. I say Half-way in because sometimes you like a show so much and think its amazing and then around mid-way it loses its focus and plot. KNK had Naveen and Emaad whose Chemistry I liked in SEDBN but in KNK it was powerful. Most importantly, in KNK the script (pre-leap) shined, It didn't follow the typical scenarios at all! 

YKS:  The script and specially the supporting cast! Eventually it became a romantic drama and I wanted to see Zubiya and Asfand ending up together, but it was originally a drama about how people/ characters interact with each other and the good-ness that still exists in the world. Special shout-out to Shaz Khan for playing Daniyal with such conviction.  Pre "this era" Sajal, I lumped in her with Marwa as she always did Bechari characters 😆 despite, multiple people telling me she does well in other roles *apologies* 😳  But her portrayal in YKS won me over as it showed me she can act without crying constantly. and Ahad; who was known as the guy with the ponytail in Sammi; shined as a actor who knew the idiosyncrasies and charm of Dr. Asfandyaar. 

Beintehaa follows up next, Staring Naveen and Sami; notoriously known to dislike Sami, I fell in love with Sherry 😆 He was weird, random but his love at first sight persona was completely convincing. It did have a lull in the story after Sherry's death, Naveen still held onto the drama and her chemistry with Agha and the post leap script made the show stand strong till the end.

I agree with you on KNK, and Muqabil , can't say about YKS coz I watched only 1/3 of it.😆

So here are my picks:

Gari Do Gari: When I saw the promos I didn't know the actresses, thought it will be another dosri biwi story. but watched it for the handsome guy who played Bazil. and it turned out to be a beautiful show indeed.

Hiddat : Promos were misleading. but story was strong with good message, with some interesting twists and turns. It is spoiled only because of Geo's habbit in dragging its serials. but it is worthwatching.

Tumharey Hain: After a not very impressing start this serial got only better, and couldn't imagine the roller coaster emotions which I experienced watching the tow couples (three?!) ..Kamil stole the show, and the writing was mature and quite bold. Till the last episode I couldn't predict the ending. 

Aadhi  Gawahi : After watching the promos I felt like we are going to watch a gr8 revenge story..but not all what glitters is gold!

I personally don't watch a lot of shows ( even tho I comment in every thread 😆) and this year also the only two shpws I watched till end were Kuch Na Kaho,  Sang e Mar Mar and Yakeen Ka Safar. These two top my list too. Then eventually I started some other shows that I couldn't complete due to xyz reasons.

Kuch Na Kaho - 

This one was actually unpredictable. Cuz I actually had zero expectationa from it as I never planned to watch it but somehow ended up seeing some epis in the beginning here n there. Initially it was a normal show for me but then slowly I started to get into the story and started to like the cast. I only liked Navin in the cast at that time but I ended up becoming a fan of the whole cast in the end. The script, direction, pace, dialogues everything had such a flow.. especially those special episodes from 19 - 28 were BOMB ! And it maintained that decency and subtlety until the end.. which was commendable. It was unpredictable cuz I never expected myself to be a KNK fan 😛 

Yakeen Ka safar -

It was a great pleasure. I actually took interest when Daniyal was about to die to be very honest. And then I read the novel and my interest got higher. And I ended up loving the show lile no other. But the key here was Asfand and Zubiya's chemistry more than anything else AND Daniyal.

This was what you call a SURPRISE package in real sense. I remember I used to HATE this show cuz I had no interest in it.. but one day I saw an epi on TV it was around 13 I guess and it gave me that wish to watch the show from the beginning and it happened and today I find the show out of the league of normal shows. SMM was something completely different and addictive ! Applause to the makers !

Now what was in bad taste, I didn't follow them entirely since they turned out to be bad despite being well promoted n hyped..

Tunhare Hain

Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai

Tau Dil Ka Kiya Hua

Their first episodes were great but they went down the drain in my eyes 

Ash--I forgot SMM was this year 😆 But I seem to think greatly off it from the promos so I had a feeling it was good ( atleast I think so) 

TDKKH? Too many characters?

I think we have to deley it to 2018 shows. coz it has a long way before ending.😆

I would add Phir Wohi Mohabbat to  the list. It was an ugly show. I loved the first epi but then I have no idea what it turned out to be 😵

I'd Add Badnaam to the list; Ali Kazmi has really wow-ed me and Sanam isn't crying in every scene 😆

The script is strong. New and the direction is good too. 

Recommend to anyone who wants a new show
