I think Sadaf was supposed to have an empowering moment. After her father’s death, Bilal was taking care of everything for her. After he backed off, or rather lied and backed off, she felt she is alone and handled things in her own way without anyone else’s involvement or influence. Her mom told her to try and reconcile with Ammar. With Bilal giving her the cold shoulder, he is no longer someone she can lean on and most importantly not someone who is there as just another option. Ammar is constantly playing victim and she was meant to just take charge and just enjoy once and for all. She’s being praised on YouTube and they’re usually hating on her. I don’t get it.
Anyways I feel like in theory it isn’t a terrible story but the dialogue and execution just ruined it. It’s a sensitive topic both for those who have lost people to suicide and to those who face this type of emotional manipulation. You hear about stories where one partner tries to control the other one through these types of tactics using self harm. Sensitive topic overall. Dedicating that much time on her pushing him to take the pills is triggering for many. Yes the pills were fake but it wasn’t done well. What was with the look of disappointment after? It gave it psychotic vibes, it was like she enjoyed that control of having someone want to take their own life for her but was disappointed when he didn’t. That isn’t what it’s supposed to be but it is how it came off.
Plus her coming over and getting upset with Bilal in itself wasn’t wrong but her dialogue didn’t really make sense. She’s been trying to get with him since she separated with Ammar. Again, even though I don’t agree with how she handled that, I empathized with her because many people behave this way in this situation. She’s been flirty on the phone, wanting to meet with him at 1 am even when he is discouraging her and then she storms in acting like he needs to get over himself because she just wants to concentrate on work. I think she’s always had feelings for him but she’s never expressed this so you can’t help but understand why he would assume that he’s just a rebound.
