Hi! I just wanna ask if you're from India? Just wanna make sure cause I saw it once on the blog description. The reason I ask is actually for a stupid reason. And feel free to ignore.

Lately, I've been coming across Indian tv scenes meme where people die by getting strangled ridiculously by the scarf getting caught in a fan of them getting slapped and pushed into it. Or one where a girl rescued a guy who fell and did many backflips in the air, by riding a large kite. Are these really what's in Indian tv show? I wanna know who their target audience is. And what they think about it?😅 I find it quite humourous and it gives me a good laugh.

OMG. Lol. Okay. I'm gonna rant okay! I'm also gonna be referring some tv shows and use show hindi terms that are very popular among these shows.

Indian tv serials or Indian tv dramas are EMBARRASSING AS HELL and I'm not proud to say that. If I could describe it in one sentence I would say---"It will give you a brain tumor, so please don't watch it."

About 90% or more, Indian tv serials are like that. I'm not joking. Let me tell you why?

Ekta Kapoor. Ekta Kapoor or Ekta didi (we'll call her like that!) is a very infamous name in India. She's basically a producer and has produced more than 100 tv serials. Apart from two or three good ones, the rest are dog shit. Also, all of them are soap operas. The problem with her tv serials is that, they don't have an identity. For example, let's take K-dramas or C-dramas. They have shows for different genres like romance, mystery, thriller, horror, historical etc. But when you take a look at most of the Indian shows, almost all of them have 'saas-bahu' melodrama ('saas' in hindi means 'mother-in-law' and 'bahu' in hindi means 'daughter-in-law') and nothing else. There is no actual plot or goal or even an ending. They don't even have a genre. For example, there is a tv serial called 'Sasural Simar Ka'. It started a normal soap opera melodramatic show, but then out of nowhere it ventured into supernatural stuff. Yeah, I'm not joking. Simar is the name of the main protagonist and is a normal human being who got married into a rich family (like every other ekta kpoor tv shows) and then after IDK 1000 episodes later, she turns in a fly. .....yep, I wish I was joking. You can check that on youtube if you don't believe me.

Seriously, the writers don't know what they're writing. They're just doing whatever to milk-out each episodes. Another problem with these shows is that, they just never want to end. Some shows starts with a good message but then after like 50 episodes when the message is conveyed and the goal is achieved, the best thing we must do for the show for it to remain as good as it is, is to end the fucking show, right? But Nope! They just keep going and going and going and going and going...I remember when I was nine years old, my mom used to watch this one serial called 'Yeh rishta kya kehla tha hain'. I finished my school and started college and the show was still going on. After reading your question, I simply googled to see if the serial was still on going but thankfully they ended it after 14 YEARS! WITH 4000+ EPISODES! 4 FUCKING THOUND EPISODES!!? WTF IS THIS EVEN ABOUT? One piece could never. Oh before I forget, 'Yeh rishta kya kehla tha hain' is also a soap opera. So as you see, unlike k-dramas that ends with about 20 to 22 episodes per season, Indian tv serials doesn't end. This also burdens the writers because they have to keep churning out new drama for each episode and after some time, its clear that they are running out of ideas. Writers are also human beings. If they are ordered to writer each episode everyday, they would obviously feel burned out and run out ideas, which would lead them writing shit like this:

and also the funny clips you saw on youtube. Unlike K-drama, whose episodes are once or twice a week, indian tv shows are daily (except for sat and sun) and there would be a watch party in my house which starts right after 6pm. 6pm is when my family pray and the tv would be on around that time, because my family members don't wanna miss a single scene. It starts at 6pm and ends at around 9 or 10pm on avg. depending on the number of serials they watch.

Now earlier when I said about Indian tv shows having no identity, well, almost all tv serials are centered around 'saas-bahu' drama. No matter what the story is, everything ends up being a story about a rich family wearing heavy makeup and saris and their boring household affairs where the daughter in laws and mother in laws try to conspire against each other for no reason and the men in these serials are nothing but props. Also there is always this grandma character who for some reason never dies despite having grandkids and those grandkids having grandkids and even if one of those grandkids die, this old lady never does.

Another thing, which I'm quite embarrassed to say is that, Ekta didi had been trying so hard to remake many popular american shows like the Vampire dairies and the Game of thrones. Now personally, I have not watched either of them. Ekta didi has tried remaking Vampire diaries and Twilight 3 times! The first one is called 'pyaar ki yeh ek kahaani' was something my sister used to watch. It was fine at first but soon becomes boring as hell. There is no story or setup or mythology, nothing. She just made it because she wanted to copy Twilight, because it was a blockbuster around that time. Her second attempt was 'Fanaah' and I don't remember it at all despite it having well known actors, it flopped so hard. Her third attempt and the most embarrassing one is the recent remake of the Vampire diaries who's name I don't even remember and I don't care to look it up, because I'm so embarrassed to even talk about it. Yeah, that's why.

You what's the best and worst thing about India? India is a country that has people speaking many languages. I come from the South and I speak Malayalam. There are other languages like Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati etc. Although I don't speak most of them, I do understand them. That's great. But you know what is not great? The tv shows that I mentioned above, they are all in Hindi. Which means....THERE ARE TV SHOWS LIKE THAT FOR OTHER LANGUAGES AROUND INDIA! Like I said, I come from the south, so my family watches Malayalam tv shows and although they are not as cancerous as the hindi ones, they are still shit and the writers doesn't know when to end it. I swear to god, if my grandma understood every languages in this world, she would watch every tv serials like this forever.

Now the audience. Basically all ages can watch these. But, not everyone wants to. Especially we young teenagers and people with brains, don't wanna watch these kinds of serials because we know it's not worth our time. Instead of watching that, we'd rather waste our time watching a normal anime or manga or play games or even study. The only people who watch these are kids (as in babies) who don't know what the fuck is going on but watches them because others are watching it, grandparents because they don't have anything to do in life so they just watch for entertainment, and people who have no job irl and watch these shows just to taste that spicy drama that we don't get to taste irl. I mean, I won't blame them, who the hell would wash laptops in real life with a dish soap? They all gather and form a watch party and once this starts, no one is allowed to disturb them. My grandpa was bedridden, so my grandma would feed him dinner before 6pm every night so that he won't disturb her during her shows. My dad told me that the watch party is so intense that they won't even be conscious about their surroundings. He said "Even if a robber enters the house, steals the things around the house, makes coffee and leave, these idiots still won't know." and he's not exaggerating.

Also let me tell you, its not always been like this. In the earlier days, before Ekta didi became a producer, Indian tv serials were not like this. There used to be good tv serials with good messages and not to forget the epics 'Mahabarath' and 'Ramayana' these are literal gold even to this day. But now, Ekta didi is the Queen to indian television, so we can't do anything about it. :(

okay Moonlight Chicken got me thinking - That but melodrama (maybe Indian TV serial melodrama?) Jim and Alan meet and they are both mad at Wen. They spend time together and like each other's basic personality. Wen tries to chase after Jim but Jim is too overwhelmed with losing his shop. Alan proposes hurting Wen by marrying him. Jim realizes marrying Alan will give him some legal/insurance stuff so that he can save his shop (300,000 Bhat?) (he could get that in the marriage). Jim gets motivated Oh Yoon Hee style - I have no money and a nephew to take care of smt smt. Jim informs Wen of this and breaks his heart to make sure he doesn't interfere (What can you give me?) Jim and Alan get married. Wen and Gaipa plan to 'save' Jim. Li ming knows it's coz of him. Moving in with Alan has it's own challenges. Wen or Gaipa marry Jim's sister and move next door to AlanJim. Alan likes Gaipa. They start fucking. Gaipa goes to Jim with evidence. Alan: It's open. Wen (very very quickly) finds a way to get more money or some unheard of relative leaves his family a fortune and now they are rich. Wen goes to Jim. Jim rejects him. At first. Then they start fucking. Alan develops feelings for Gaipa. Gaipa does too but can't let it be coz his now friend Jim is 'trapped'. (He's not. These idiots are in love with him so much that they want to be the knight in shining armor to Alan's great big dragon) (that didn't come out right). Somehow the marriage registers office catches fire and their marriage is null and void. WenJim pair off. GaipaAlan pair off. HeartLiming are in the background being cute avoiding all this. Li Ming goes to Heart when things in the JimAlan household get too much. There are a lot of broken mirrors and photo frames and overflowing milk to signify danger / death / car accident but everyone survives like a 100 of them. You get to the hospital and the car crash healed with bandage to the forehead. (Is that the Indian serial version of White wet cloth?)

Karan Wahi : Channa Mereya (EP23)

I didn't realize that what Indian TV does in saas-bahu serials is play up the ideals of being the perfect victim. How many times have the daughter-in-law turned the other cheek after being slapped? How many times have they wished well for their abusers? I wonder if this constant hammering in of the image of the demure perfect heroine, doesn't play in the politics of never subscribing to radical means even in the face of violent oppression. How many times in Indian politics, did people get vilified, simply because they exercised violence to get back at those who have been violent against them and that too with impunity?

Whenever someone says perfect casting doesn't exist :)

I wish Damon Salvatore had remained the true and final villain ("Hello Brother" has a separate franchise fr) instead of giving him that redemption arc. Villain redemption arcs are my favorite but not this.. Maybe because it was not done right? In the beginning, his character was like a breath of fresh air, someone who does not regret his actions, and does as he likes without having much remorse about it. This is what vampires are! Monsters technically and his character depicted that so freaking well. But then they brought- him falling in love with Elena... From that point, his character dropped down for me. Not 'cause I don't like Elena, I love her (and am convinced she deserves better than both these brothers) but bcoz they started imposing his 'human side' 🤷‍♀️

Tbh it was still fine and sweet till season 4 but after that, their relationship felt so FORCEFUL and it went like she never was in a relationship with Stefan. Yes, I get how much his Ripper state has hurt her, that's why I'm saying their relationship arc had so many ups and downs, chemistry and all although they both spent half of their time crying.. anyway. This is why Elena ending up with Stefan made more sense because how can you after going through SO MUCH together, go back to being like teenagers or whatever you would call Elena and Damon had in just a few weeks :)

Hence show makers should have listened to Ian Somerhalder (the actor who played Damon Salvatore) and not gone with redemption BS, instead focusing on filling up some plot holes lmao.

Ps. I know earlier it was planned on having Elena end up with Stefan but Nina Dobrev left the franchise early on soooo there you have it! I wish they had also wrapped up the show within season 6 or something lol

Khushi Kumari Gupta MBTI Typing ENFP

Throughout the show Khushi has shown strong Extroverted Intuition (Ne), in every episode there are numerous examples evident in all of Khushi’s ideas, tricks and pranks (I.e when she hijacks Arnav’s party and makes it more desi! It’s her idea that bring Payal and Akash together etc.). She uses Ne to thwart Shyam during the kidnapping track, her Ne shows up strongly in her dramatics and her vivid imagination! It’s the way she communicates with the world, through her ideas and possibilities. Honestly, she is bursting with Ne! It’s impossible to state all the examples because it’s literally her character! She’s the idea person!

Her second function is Introverted Feeling (Fi), Khushi has a strong internal value system that’s based around her feelings, and what she as an individual feels is right, it’s her subjective truth that shapes her views on the world. Her Fi displays itself when she enforces her religious values upon Arnav, or her views on marriage, because she feels it’s the only right way to live. She is all or nothing. She is intensely emotional, finding it difficult to verbally articulate her authentic feelings but it is expressed through her actions, her compassion and care for others is felt. She is fiercely protective of her boundaries, and doesn’t take it lightly once a line has been crossed.

Her third function is Extroverted Thinking (Te), this comes out when her boundaries (Fi) are violated. She unleashes her Te, this is what allows her to hold her own against Arnav (who has a more developed Te). When she calls out Arnav after the guesthouse incident, she is pure Te, she states the harsh truth in a blunt direct manner and straight after is decisive when she resigns from her job. Her Te also shows itself during the kidnapping track, she uses it in her planning and she’s the one who leads NK and Mami in the investigation.

Khushi’s last function is Introverted sensing (Si) this shows up in Khushi’s sense of traditionalism and is the function that grounds her whacky behaviour (Ne). She enjoys religious stories, cultural norms and history, her Si is what Nani wants to instill into Lavanya during the training track. Unhealthy Si habits show up in Khushi when she is stressed like when she makes Jalebis in times of sadness and stress. It shows itself in her care for Arnav “he’s not allowed sweets”…Khushi is a well rounded and balanced individual (maybe a little Ne heavy but healthy nonetheless) so her unhealthy Si isn’t a massive problem!

(Although, one could argue, her inferior Si shows when she brings Shyam back after he gets kicked out 🙈😳)

Just a little disclaimer guys! I’m an amateur MBTI enthusiast and my writing isn’t the best so I apologise if this post didn’t make sense or if I was inarticulate but this was just for fun! I would love to hear if anyone disagrees with my typing xx

realizing Indian TV serials have all the elements I like but without the execution while watching the best episode of House of Dragon is ... an experience.

Apne paun pe khud kulhari marna is what Pakistani and Indian dramas do when they start with really good, progressive messages and then go downhill or extend the drama unnecessarily and add plotlines that don't even fit with the initial message the drama was supposed to give and it becomes another full of potential drama that got ruined due to forceful insertion of clichés that should've been abandoned in 2012.
