This series is what you get when you mix a great concept, and horrible writing together
Started out great. An insecure, awkward character who's jealous of a fellow coworker who's seemingly perfect and great at everything he does, who turns out to be also a little awkward but more importantly, unapologetically in love with him! Really enjoyed the awkward unfiltered thoughts and all the little cute and sweet acts of service but then it stretched out too long, Karan hard carrying the romance with all the pining and infatuated glances while Achi always looking so uncomfortable and ready to run and he really fumbled Karan, hard.
Karan was giving so much and Achi's giving nothing, and I get he's supposed to be this extremely insecure guy who's actually admirable because he does all these silent acts of service but aside from Karan's little flashbacks from his pov of why he liked Achi, it didn't really feel that way. A very hard sell especially with how that whole episode 8 played out. The way he reacted to Karan kneeling to apologize before someone who traumatized him gave NOTHING. I just found Achi's character so unlikable the more I watched and it stayed that way until the end.
In the end I don't believe Achi was able to match everything Karan gave and felt in the relationship, and I don't know if the acting is partly to blame but the bad writing 100% is.
Also, too much screentime for the side couple that I don't really care about. The whole show is extremely cheesy and feel good and I would've enjoyed it and rode the cringe if Achi was just a little bit more likable as a character.
