I think its a bit too harsh to expect everyone to be familiar with Sense & Sensibility. There is more chance that only a small percentage of the TV viewers might have actually read the book, and I'm speaking from personal experience. So most of the viewers or members here are coming in fresh without much idea as to the story. They don't know about the source material or who is endgame, they are just going according to what they are seeing in the episodes. So you can't really blame them.
Coming to the show, like you said its loosely based on the book, and I for one would be immensely glad if Ekta didn't follow the book as it is. If it was I would probably have given the show a miss. I was actually impressed that she did away with the Edward Ferrars type character and made the main lead a lot more like Willoughby, which somehow ups the curiosity factor as to how all the characters will eventually come together. In my opinion a much better version than watching yet another predictable adaptation.
I'm only dreading her penchant for turning it into another saas-bahu family drama later on ๐ณ
