Again, the problem isn't in the content, the problem is in the division of screen time. The maid's storyline is interesting and it could have been included without compromising the screen time of the leads. For instance, they showed us the girl shooting TikTok video on two songs. First, they've already established that the boy is shooting videos by using the underage girl in a scene at their home so that garden scene was unnecessary but instead of making it short, they showed us clips of two songs. The conversation between Samiya's fiance and her girlfriend was unnecessarily long and that office scene could have been omitted. Also, Samiya getting married to a guy who's not good for her just to make her mother happy has been established in the first two episodes but they dragged that convo for 2-3 more episodes. They just need to work on making the screenplay crisper and maintaining a balance between the screen time of side characters and the leads.The only solution is they should air it twice a week with atleast 40-50 episodes if they wanted to show so many stories in a drama. The main problem with pak dramas is that they hardly has 40mins run time and airs just once a week. That is why even if there is not much dragging we feel it's been dragged a lot. They should have just kept it the story of sajal's household and Bilal. But we have three other households here. Sheryar's, the maid's and Saif ul Rahman's. A lot of viewers are interested in watching sheryar's story since he is also a leading actor with good fanbase. So even if he and his family takes up the screen space most people don't mind. People also seems to like phupko and Babar Ali as they are funny. But there is no crowd puller in the maid's or Saif ul Rahman's storyline so nobody is interested to see them on screen. From a story pov the maid and Saif ul Rahman have interesting storyline going on but we as viewers don't want to see it at the expense of lesser screentime for Bilal and sajal.
Most Turkish rom-com dramas have 3-4 love stories happening simultaneously without much happening in the story but the run time is so long that we get to see the leads for atleast 10-20 mins in a more than 2hr long episode. If we cut those episodes into 30 mins then the leads will only be there for 2-3 mins just like kuch ankahi.
Even Hindi serials that have infinite episodes only keep limited characters and they will introduce new characters or storyline only after wrapping up one storyline. There won't be 3-4 storylines movies simultaneously.
Either extend the runtime or air more episodes in a week. The only reason i managed to finish watching Ishq hai drama was because it aired 2 episodes back to back twice a week and ended in 2-3 months. Even though the show was toxic and basic it looked fast paced because we get to see so much in just 2 days. They should do that with kuch ankani.
