While I am enjoying this drama, I feel there are too many similarities between this and MZZB. Some similarities:

1. Faisal was very chatty in both dramas and after the incident became serious, no nonsense, and** grew facial hair.**
2. **Sadistic female leads who appear to thrive on their misery. **Samia became a HOUSE MAID despite being educated. She could’ve easily gotten a school/college instructor job or sold her paintings or taught tutors but NO she had to sweep people’s floors and feel sorry for herself and her situation. Similarly Sawera also chose to stay at her hubby’s place and be treated like a slave.

I am sure Qaid e tanhai’s story is deep and like all of Umera’s work is regarding common unjust practices in our society, but they need to cut down on the melodrama. some of sawera’s scene’s are bordering comedy. She’s over doing the blank stares and the expressionless and also the crazy dialogues. like when she tells her daughter that “mein khush hoon” while tilting her head and giving her the crazy eyes.

Completely agree with you. I think Savera is a great actress but unfortunately BJ hasn’t dug deep enough to make her realize her full potential.
And I can’t stand these doormat type wives…irks me to no end!!

But I am really enjoying Noor’s character and dialogue in this one. I think the flashbacks start next week which means I’ll hit the FFWD button on the next 6+ episodes
