Since our very special show is a Korean drama adaptation, I'm wondering whether the whole concept of this show is different.
Personally, I was very pleased that a K drama idea was being used. K dramas wrap up in 16-20 episodes usually. There are some exceptions. Every forum here has people complaining about draaaggging stories and typical saas bahu dramas with too many dramatic freezes, ad breaks etc ... so this approach seems like an intelligent one.
ZKSP has been a breath of fresh air. No fuss intros of the leads. Such a laid back approach that the leads' parents became the hit jodi. A very different start.
So my question is, can such a show have the same life span as other typical Hindi shows? Even the usual Hindi shows these days seem to be loosing steam after a few months. Here we have a K drama based Hindi show..maybe the new trend is for H dramas to become like K dramas?
Another point is that ZKSP shows 7X20 = 140 mins a week...which is 20 mins more than most K shows which are 2x60 = 120 mins a week. ...and 40 mins more than old style H dramas shown 5 times a week. ya I did the math. đ
But whatever the math, cast and crew are really working extra hard. Each episode may only be 20 mins, but to get that, they still have to shoot much more and edit it down. So best wishes to them all. I hope this new experiment pays off in many ways. I'm especially happy that AG is involved in this new trend and can blaze a trail for a NEW ERA in Hindi television.
