You summed up perfectly how I’ve been feeling! When the show first started, I loved the storytelling - the medical cases with ethical dilemmas, the character backgrounds for Sid and Ishani that showed how they became the people they are today, and the other residents. We were slowly watching Sid and Ishani develop an understanding of each other as they realized they’re both good people, just different belief systems based on their experiences in life.
Now, somehow, the entire show seems to revolve around Ishani’s heartbeat and that silly butterfly. The medical cases are non-existent (for example, what’s wrong with Nurse Phyllo’s daughter? We still don’t know 🤷🏻♀️) The other residents are only there to tell Sid or Ishani that they’re in love with each other. And Ishani doesn’t seem capable of focusing on anything other than Sid, to the detriment of her patients.
Don’t get me wrong, I love romance. In fact, it’s a requirement in any show that I watch. But I need it to feel realistic. I like watching the slow burn between characters, as they gradually develop their relationship and get to know each other. I feel like I just watched the evolution of a relationship of at least 3 months take place in 1 week.
Do you all think this change in the show has to do with TRPs? I wonder if the CVs felt pressure to increase the romance to bring the ratings up. Even if that’s the case, I wish they had made the romance feel more realistic, as you would between adult professionals. Right now I feel like I’m watching a teenage drama.
I still have hope for the show, though, based on how it started. I think if they slow down the romance, start spending more time on the medical cases again (while also focusing on Sid and Ishani’s relationship and the other residents), they can bring the show back on track. There’s so much potential here!
