This character has always been a favorite. Unfortunately, it has become a trend nowadays to degrade him to show other characters as superior, and as a result not many people understand his true characterization.
What I love about RSR is that even while showing his 'weakness' for Ram (though how loving one's son can be a weakness beats me), Dashrath is still portrayed as a strong, fair and just ruler and that's what's so important about him. People misunderstand him because they claim he "remarried to have sons", forgetting the fact that multiple marriages were the norm back then and not the exception. Even as he had multiple wives, he respected them all and valued each of their individual strengths, which was shown well in this show. ๐
