#struck out dramas for reasons™

[badedramay]

Mais can you recommend some underrated solid romance driven Pak shows? I've watch most of the mainstream ones. TIA! Also I'm already watching yunhi in case you were gonna rec that.

ek toh "romance driven" already narrows down the field SO much which is necessarily not a good thing for me cuz i haven't watched a lot of Pakistani dramas to begin with. also I feel like nowadays the definition of "romance" has changed. it's a fairly new wave of dramas that actually show the physical intimacy aspect of romance in PakDramas. otherwise the older PakDramas wouldn't necessarily have such things (and the ones they did unn pe Pemra ban laga deta tha xD). ab toh if anyone says "romance drama" toh I immediately think they are asking for something like Tere Bin which...bhayee aisa yahan aur koi product nahin hai.

KHAIRRR. some of the "romances" that I have enjoyed in PakDramas I can list in no particular order.

Ishq Tamasha (Mehrab x Mirha)

Aap Kay Liye (Shaheer x Washma)

Mera Naam Yousuf Hai (Yousuf x Zulekha)

Khudgarz (Junaid x Aaira)

Yeh Raha Dil (Zaki x Hayat)

Sanam (Harib x Aan)

Diyar e Dil (Suhaib x Arujumad / Wali x Faraa)

Aik Nayee Cinderella (Romaan x Misha)

Dillagi (Mohid x Anmol)

Khamoshi (Shahram x Arsala)

Mere Humdum Mere Dost (Haider x Aiman)

Malaal (Jawad x Zinia)

Ehd e Wafa (Shahzain x Rani)

Chupke Chupke (Faaz x Meenu)

Suno Chanda (Arsal x Jiya)

Udaari (Arsh x Meera)

Jo Bichar Gaye (Rumi x Sonia)

filhaal can't think of any other. kuch yaad aya toh will post.

1 - What’s the biggest argument you’ve ever had with a family member? Did things ever go back to how they were beforehand? It happened right after a family vacation. As for the reason, it’s stupid – it really just stemmed from the fact that we were all tired and angry and emotions just happened to boil at the same time for everyone. My mom started the drama by bitching at me, then for some reason my brother chimed in alongside her and started to disrespect me as well...one thing led to another and he struck me across the face. Idk how it is in other places but behaving that lowly towards somebody older than you is extremely disrespectful, so of course I took that personally and did not hesitate to strike him back. The moment it got physical my dad stepped in and started yelling at everybody in the car, and what followed was the quietest and yet most tense car ride home from the airport, lmao. To this day I do not speak with my brother nor do I ever have plans to.

2 - Have you ever experienced some kind of natural disaster? Yeah, typhoons/hurricanes are usual here. Once a year there will usually be That One™ typhoon that will be super destructive, i.e. lead to high floods, widespread power outages, launching of evacuation progrms, etc. But for the most part we’ll have like 10-15 typhoons of a smaller scale every year.

3 - If you have pets, do you feed them human food or do they just get regular pet food? If they do get human food, what’s their favorite thing to have? Kimi and Cooper have human food and we typically give them rice with some kind of meat. Aki is still on pet food and he hasn’t gone tired of it, so we’ll probably continue giving him that.

4 - Have you ever been in a physical fight? Who won? Not serious ones. I play-wrestled my cousin when we were kids but it never escalated to a legit fight.

5 - What were you lighting the last time you used a lighter or matches? My birthday cake.

6 - What’s the weather currently doing where you are? Phone says it’s currently 26ºC; as for how the weather feels – warm and very very humid.

7 - The last time you got up from your seat, what did you go and do? I went to the bathroom to pee and brush my teeth.

8 - Name five things you’ve done so far today:

I drove out to withdraw some cash since I was expecting a package;

I received said package a few hours later;

Dealt with a bad hangover in the morning; 

NAPPED, and napped a lot; 

Watched several mini-documentaries from Asian Boss.

9 - What’s the mode of transport that you take or use the most? I drive my own car.

10 - When was the last time you got caught in a rain or snow storm? Were you dressed for it or did you end up getting soaked? Last time I got caught in the rain...that would be yesterday, when we had a company gathering at this events place. My co-workers and I agreed to step out to take a few group photos together when it suddenly rained and we were forced to go back inside. I wasn’t dressed super appropriately for the rain, but I was still lucky because I did have a bucket hat on.

11 - Did your favorite Disney film come out before or after you were born? Before - Toy Story is three years older than me.

12 - Are you a fan of musicals? Other than Miss Saigon, now.

13 - What the last thing you spent money on apart from necessities? Alcohol and bar chow.

14 - Are there any sequels to things that you prefer to the original? I mean Shrek 2′s gotta be up there.

15 - How often do you lose the remote control? It doesn’t happen a lot. Whenever I can’t find it it’s usually because someone else in the house misplaced it.

16 - When was the last time you had problems with your internet connection? It acted a little funny just the other day but fortunately it didn’t disrupt my work too much.

17 - What games do you play on your phone, if any at all? Rhythm Hive, which is a K-Pop themed rhythm game.

18 - Aside from family, who was the last person you spent time with? How do you know that person? Co-workers! Some of us wanted to get drinks after our company gathering so we ended up as a group of 10 and had dinner at this Mexican restaurant. When we were there, we discovered that one of the doors at the restaurant actually led to a speakeasy, so after eating we headed there to have a little party party time lol.

19 - Are you currently warm, cold or just right? I’m just right. It’s supposed to be on the warmer side but I had the aircon on for a few hours in my room, so I can still feel a bit of the cold.

20 - Do you prefer showers or baths? When was the last time you had either? I took a shower yesterday afternoon before I headed out. As for my preference, I mean it’s not like I have a choice – we don’t own a bathtub, so unless we’re at a hotel or whatever I’ve always taken showers.

21 - Do you spend a lot of money on your appearance? Not at all. I’ll get clothes every now and then but that’s it; I don’t buy products or a lot of accessories.

22 - When was the last time you spent more than £100 on something? Was it a necessity like a bill, or a treat for yourself? Our total bill last night was a little over ₱11k andddddd a quick search tells me that’s just slightly under double that amount. It was most definitely just a treat for ourselves, lol.

23 - Would you rather swim in the sea, a lake or a pool? Sea. I’ve never gone swimming in a lake, and the chlorine in pools is too strong for my liking.

24 - Have you ever had a zoo keeper experience or anything where you’ve been able to go behind the scenes and look after/feed the animals? Yeah, kind of. I’ve been to zoos/parks before where I got to hold up the animals and interact with them.

25 - Would you ever want the responsibility of being a politician or a similar position of power? No, I don’t think I’d be able to handle it.

26 - How many times a week do you go to the grocery store? My mom usually restocks once a week.

27 - When was the last time you got a takeaway coffee or drink? Last Wednesday when we had an office day. I got Starbucks drive-through.

28 - Do you quote films or TV shows as you’re watching them? Like, as in because I’ve memorized the script? Yeah, I’ll do that sometimes with stuff I’m rewatching.

29 - What’s something your parents do that really annoys you? My mom is religious, which is irritating to me in itself; my dad is apolitical for the most part and I find that concerning. How do you not give a shit about what’s happening wrong in the country?

30 - If you had to quarantine for two weeks tomorrow due to testing positive to COVID, would you be able to survive on the things you had in your house? Yeah. The last two years trained me for that, lmao.
