Pakistani dramas are getting more popular internationally and have more accessible English subtitles now via Netflix, international TV network subtitles and dubbing, as well as other apps/websites. Episodes are also similar in length and duration to Chinese dramas, and in general are more critically acclaimed compared to Indian drama serials. Lollywood isn't as big, so the additions to the movie sector would likely also be easier compared to Bollywood, which is much more expansive. Not saying an Indian category shouldn't be added, but I think a Pakistani one would be a nice shuttle to eventually add an Indian category which is much more daunting.
I really agree about the general feel of Pakistani dramas being more similar to other dramas already allowed on MDL! I don't have a lot of experience with South Asian dramas, but the Indian dramas I have seen felt more akin to telenovelas or American soaps whereas Pakistani dramas are almost more of a middle ground between soaps and "Asian" dramas. Again, at least in my experience.
