Let's talk how u all got to know abt show,when did u start watching it and what was your initial opinion regarding Dev ,Vidhi and their chemistry
I will tell mine.i was not a regular viewer and used to watch some episodes in between.My initial opinion was that I found Vidhi dumb and was curious to know how their love story will proceed.i liked khau gali episode a lot.i liked Dev's character which was quite different and not like other ml
The promos were quite good (pity they never really showed those in the real episodes)
I didn't watch the very initial episodes, but probably from the point where Vidhi returns Dev's ring in the office.
Even I found Vidhi to be dumb initially (she felt like an early 80's or 90's FL instead of a 2020's one), and I thought the episodes where Dev helped her come out of her shell (the exam preparations, the coffee order) were quite nice to watch.
I wanted to watch the journey (although I didn't have much expectations due to this being ITV). Unfortunately, they skipped the journey and went to Vidhi falling in love immediately (just because of one Khau Galli date- which made it look like she fell for the first man who treated her relatively decently)
That was a bit of a let down, but I still watched because Dev was behaving relatively sanely. Then they made him fall in love too, and rushed straight to marriage, and I called it quits then because all ITV soaps go down the drain after marriage. Of coursem thanks to some wonderful folks on this forum, I kept tabs on what was going on and the storyline in general, but it never really reached a point where I felt I should watch the serial again.
It might be a contrary opinion to many on the forum, but I actually liked Amba's characterisation in the early episodes (there's an episode where she's completely cool with Vidhi's crush on Dev). Of course, this being ITV, grey can't be grey- it has to be straight up black so that the viewer doesn't have any moral ambiguity as to whom to support.
Relative pros- Satyavati and Abhi not being negative characters, Dev, Bims, early Amba. BG Music
Cons- HP (very toxic dad I thought), story skipping the gradual falling in love process completely.
