This reminds me of the show that made me become a member of IF.
In that show they wanted a generation leap so they made the main couple have twin daughters. Afterwards they killed off the male lead by making him fall off a cliff
(By the way how many serials do you know of in which one or both of the leads have fallen off cliffs to their death?).
They made the female lead play one of the daughters but also retained her in a dual role to continue as the twins' mother because the show was in the mother's name. The chemistry of the lookalike daughter with her new male lead wasn't quite up to par with that of the original pairing and it was reflected in the low TRP.
So the makers tried another trick. They brought in the original male lead as a totally different character and put him opposite the mum but the magic was gone and no-one was interested anymore so the show went off air.
