The High's
- Mona and Pradeep- usually I don't warm up to characters instantly but the second Mona came on screen and lightly scolded Pradeep for dreaming, I just fell in love with her. Her character is brilliantly written and also enacted by Mona, I must say BT's trend of picking the perfect actor for their character continues. I love how understanding, compassionate and simple she is. Compared to past BT leads I can definitely say that after Priya from BALH, Mona is my fave just because her character is very relatable to the audience the show is catering to๐๐ I just hope they don't butcher her as "sati savitri" as the show goes on๐คข. As for Pradeep, I love how goofy and adorable he is, the perfect character foil to Mona, and I love how he isn't that jhoru ka gulaam as his friends make him out to be and that he understands the importance of his wife and family.
These two are not perfect in any way but together they are perfection. I also appreciate BT for NOT going their conventional way and making them the "ideal" couple with everything about them being perfect and them goody two shoes about everything. The fact that Pradeep smokes and the fact that Mona didn't create a hullabaloo with the boss's son engagement thing just shows how different these two are from other BT leads๐๐๐ their imperfections make them more intriguing and I am looking forward to see more of their relationship
The kids- we haven't seen much of them but I like how they haven't made the kids like in other shows where they're on borderline annoying with their childishness. My favorite is Rajbeer, the kid is SO cute๐ณ and like I said in another thread his chemistry with Mona is just so adorable. The two daughters are good too but as someone mentioned before the older one does NOT look 9 at all๐ but whatever the girl is cute and lets hope we see character development in the kids too rather than making them spoiled brats
Pradeep's mom- we've only seen her once but I just love the relationship she shares with Mona, not the typical saas-bahu interaction we expect in desi shows๐, it's a refreshing change and I'm glad they havent made her to be a caricature of the good hearted yet dopey saas๐ I hope to see more of her later on
-The pacing- usually TV shows (especially BT shows) have a tendency to drag their stories out like no tomorrow and I was half expecting this show to be the same as BALH in the beginning but I'm pleasantly surprised by how much the story has unfolded and only in 5 episodes. I hope future tracks are kept this way as well, this show I've noticed is more character driven rather than plot driven and its a great thing to see especially from BT
The lows
-Kukrejha - couldnt stand this guy in PKYEK and cant stand him here either๐ก but I like how they made Pradeep his boss๐ that was hysterical, I hope he doesnt turn out to be the typical "I'm gonna make your life hell" type villain
-Niharika drama- I knew right from the terrace scene between Mona-Niharika that whoever Niharika's fiance is, is going to be trouble...I almost expected to see Kukrejha on that photo๐๐๐ but then they showed the boss's son and I was like "AHA". Anyways so far they've managed that drama wonderfully, again without going the unconventional BT way and I hope they bring a good conclusion to that track and by the looks๐
anyways that's all I could think of, any thoughts on this๐ณ feel free to share yours
