Hello peeps, I've been meaning to make a post on this forum for over a week now and I've finally found the time! (I have some seriously hectic schedule bros, trust me)
Anyhow, I'll be pretty honest, when I first saw a glimpse of this show, my initial thoughts were "how cheesy and over dramatic 🤔" and truthfully, it didn't appeal to me at all. I've watched Shaka Laka Boom Boom so seeing the magic pencil kid all grown up was a pleasant surprise AND AN ADORABLE SURPRISE AT THAT TOO! His dimple is sooo perf, it makes me so happy Coming onto the actress, again, pretty bluntly, I didn't like her. I saw her in Humsafars and it was just no. The chemistry between the leads in this show wasn't up to par in comparison to what I'm used to (I'm pretty shallow when it comes to good looks and chemistry in the entertainment industry, just saying)
So... If all my initial responses were so negative, what finally forced me to watch this show(?) you may ask. That brings me on to my never ending (or more like everlasting) habit of being unable to go without an Indian serial in my life. Sigh. It's sad but it's true, I HAD to start watching something again (after TEI went down the drain and EDKV began to bore me) and this is what my over enthusiastic friends suggested. I got pretty fed up of feeling left out of their convo too (might've played a big factor in my decision tbh 😆)
AND I CAN PROUDLY SAY, I DO NOT REGRET WATCHING THIS SHOW AT ALL!
ERSK is probably one of the most 'feel good' shows I've come across and I've watched a lot of shows. The simplicity and genuineness of the characters and their relationships is very relatable and I love that all the characters are utilised so well! It's literally the first show where I can't decide which character I like more because they are all so lovable and have their own screen presence, be it the youngsters or the elders. One of the best things about this show is that it depicts so beautifully that age is merely a societal construct and age restrictions are absolutely bull. The nok johk between Viren and Kusum to the hilarious moments between Kaka and Kaki Sa are great and reminds the audience that romance has no age (often forgotten by the Indian Entertainment industry). It's this kind of subtle yet effective execution which has managed to win me over. I'm clean bowled with this show
I spent a whole night crying my eyes out btw because that rishta breaking sequence was so beautifully done and I just couldn't stop the tears. Not over dramatic and not under emphasised. It was perfect. And I loved that it made me cry. Because I DO NOT CRY. Ever. Seriously.
Aryan and Sanchi have grown on me so much! I love the rapport they share and their conversations are always so fun and enlightening. Aryan being so goofily in love with Sanchi is so cute and adorable. These two are literally the epitome of adorable! Their sajhedaari is amazing. I always look forward to their encounters because it's never your typical romance! There's no dupatta flying, girl falling, guy catching, violins playing sort of shizzle (though I'm a sucker for cliche) but by the end of their scene, I've got a goofy grin spread across my face 😆
Shivya is pretty, she looks great in minimal make up. They need to fire her make up artist and let the girl take control of her own face. Kinshuk is love. He's just so adorable and HIS HAIR IS SO FLUFFY, I THINK IM GOING TO CRY! In terms of performance, I'm really happy. They share great onscreen presence and their chemistry is increasing by day.
I've realised that this is more like a show review post but I'm so giddy and happy right now so I had to blurt out my feelings on paper. I really hope that the show continues to develop at the pace that it is going. So far, the storyline has been really engaging and if it continues like this, ERSK will reach new heights (fingers crossed).
All in all, the show is very underrated and needs to be appreciated for the master piece that it is 😎
I'd love to read everyone else's first thoughts and reactions to the show. I will try my best to reply to all. Until then, it's peace out from this little fish 😎
