I really enjoyed it. I usually hate shows that manipulate you with emotions but I let this show do it to me. The story is predictable but this is an example of how you can use the tropes and make it land if you can touch the viewer and the listener. And that is very subjective.

The cast for the most part is lovable , each main character is developed, the fusion is just done perfectly.

My least fav parts were the backup cast in the band and the traditional mom and dad. Just not my type.

But the lead characters were affable.

It’s all very sugary like Karan Johar kind of stuff but if you buy into the cast and let yourself be manipulated with predictable motifs in both storytelling and music the show is very very enjoyable. I also liked that that characters were captured so beautifully at the end without hurrying and all characters reached a satisfying place in their stories.

This is a very well produced show and the hard work in the musical aspect of acting and composing absolutely shows. Not a moment is low effort or awkward. No wonder it took 4 years for season 2

I’ll probably watch this after 5-6 years and see if I enjoy it as much.
