It does - desi TV standards are actually horrible for both the FLs & MLs.
FL: she's aadarsh, self-sacrificing, loyal to their main love, often compromise their self-respect, but they are always right in their actions...rare mistakes will happen but they will be justified by the reasoning for the error.
ML: he's a lost soul who comes to rely on his spouse. either he makes mistakes or small slip ups (in non-YHM shows) but the mess will be cleaned up usually by the spouse or they become wallflowers. rarely do they experience a gamut of emotions on screen (baring YHM where the ML cries more than the FL 😆).
I'm missing stuff on this analysis of leads in Indian shows, but as a whole many shows some how adopts this weirdly contrived societal view of gender expectations.

Logically and to be truly fair, this show needs to move from the journey of a two individuals coming together to the journey of their lives separately. But what sucks is - what about the kids? Why do they have to suffer again too?

Trust me - reading things on the forum this week and writing this were hard...I feel like a fool for still caring even though I knew in January that this wasn't my YHM...hope is hard to kill & ironically while SP is promoting "Hope Never Dies"...my hope for this show has been killed
