Okay, so I binged all the episodes and now, I'm hooked. The drama is not great but it has some enjoyable moments. I like Sehar Khan and Hamza Sohail in their respective roles. Hamza was good in all three dramas he did so far. Sehar is more like her real self in this drama as I watched her interview with Rabia Mughni and she was pretty much like Umeed in her real life.
I read some comments here and watched SH review and they disappointed + irritated me. I feel that it is an established fact that Ramadan shows and Eid plays are not for finding logic. They are just for light-hearted fun and enjoying moments of laughter & cute romances without bothering your mind.
This show is following the same formula that lots of rom-coms have successfully used.
- The child-like female lead is headstrong and wants to get what she wants by hook or by crook. Yet, even in her cleverness, there's stupidity. She causes bad things to others owing to her blunders but she's good at heart and never wishes ill for anyone.
- The male lead is serious, well-dressed, and no-nonsense type. Yet, even he has his flaws. He becomes the victim of the female lead's blunders despite his so-called intelligence, sometimes unwillingly and sometimes willingly.
We know, ultimately they'll fall in love and there will be a happy ending. Lots of Chinese and Korean shows follow the same pattern. Even Jab We Met was in parts like this and people loved Geet's character. Amna saying that Umeed is so stupid that she doesn't deserve to be a lead character or that Dua's character is more appealing can be true if it was a normal drama, but in Ramadan dramas, that's not true. Anyways, everyone should have a right to have their opinion and choose what they wanna watch or skip. However, from now on, I'll avoid such reviews as I've decided to continue watching it and I don't wanna spoil my fun..
