If you like Pakistani dramas, you will love it. The acting was great, dialogues were good... To read why it was so great you can see all the positive reviews. I will focus on why I am not crazy about it. The show romanticizes an arrogant, ego-eccentric, misogynist character till the very end. I am sure people would've hated this show had the roles been reversed. If the girl had multiple boyfriends back in the day it would never have been ok. It wasn't even ok for her to have a marriage proposal by another guy before him. He makes a big deal about it but that fight ends with such unrealistic resolve, similar to the one they have about him talking and meeting his ex. The real fight was the one where he almost hits her in the library... and they never talk about that... the fact that he lunged to hit her but his friend held him back. They romanticize it, oh he is just a hot headed guy like that's a small flaw. I also hated the fact that everyone pushed her to marry him. She needed to give everyone a "solid reason" for not marrying him. That shouldn't even be a demand! There are many average to great people on this earth we can choose not to marry them and it should be fine, its a personal preference. However she needed a solid reason not to marry him and every reason she gave had an excuse which basically was that he is a man and its ok for him to be this way.
