Too mellow for a revenge story

Revenge plot ... My ass !!!
I don't generally give rude reviews but ..well .. this show was so disoriented and disordered in all its aspects that I just can't help it.
Okay first I love a fast to atleast moderate paced story ( my personal preference) ..just can't deal with the beating around the BUTT story that reflects low level creativity of the writer ..
Secondly I hate to see why most writers want to convey the message of forgiveness instead to straight justice ..I mean ..the husband killed and buries her alive..cause crises to her family that led to their deaths, he even ruined her character by planting a naked man in her bed ...and yet she was asking him if he wants a second chance ... If i were in this FL place I would have dragged this despicable man by his hair and thrown into the gates of hell ...
That's why I don't like these half-assed revenge plots .. most writers don't have the caliber to justify such plots but they write anyway huh !! They were even playing a romantic background song in this murderer husband's scenes ... 🤮🤮🤮😒 I mean can you believe this.

The FL temperament was so out the place with the plot.Her ways of escaping teg trouble is too lame .. the writer created a nonsensical phatasm that you can solve any issue as long as you are look decent and are eloquent

There is no proper strategy she is just sailing the ship around arguments like ' you need to understand if you do this you will be responsible for that ..and if you do that you will be scared of this .. blah blah blah ' ..every one in the town is manipulated by her this and that theory/threats. I wonder if the writer thinks as long as you can give some this against some that theory in your argument you might as well be able to avoid a world war.


And most importantly even if you have to make things so ugly you can drop a hint in first five episodes so people can drop it on time ..why dragging it all the way to 30 episodes and end up offering a second chance ( though husband lived up to my expectations and rejected the chance )

And then you actually wrap up the sweet revenge within last 5 episodes ... As if people were here for the melodrama

If I have to summarise this one was too mellow for my taste in revenge plots ... Even low budget drama are doing better than this.
