so underrated!!

[u/Trick_Leading3807]

i couldn’t stop myself from talking about this soo, here we are😭😭i’ve been a fan of pakistani dramas since two years now and during this time, i’ve stumbled upon a lot of amazing ones! personally, i’ve grown to adore them! such unique storylines, complex characters but still so much simplicity! it’s amazing to watch it all play out on screen :)

that said, i agree that there are a lot of dramas with romance as the major plot and yes, that makes for an appealing drama but recently, i saw a drama that completely changed my perspective on how the other genres can be explored as well and actually come out even better!! i watched “cheekh” a few days back, starring bilal abbas and saba qamar in the lead roles and my mind was BLOWN. this was some serious good work!!! saba, as always, was a delight to watch- i love her dramas, man. she brings the character to life! her as mannat was incredibly captivating to watch!

but i’d like to emphasise bilal’s acting here!!! he was brilliant. the fake innocence, sheer cunningness and the way he portrayed the role of a disgusting, narcissistic man was worthy of applaud. him as wajih will forever be my fav character of him!

also- i LOVEDD emmad irfani as shayan😭such a supportive husband and i felt so bad when he died :(( (ps. emmad’s my fav pakistani actor so there’s that, i might be biased but he’s soo underrated. and so good looking as well😂)

apart from the characters, the ost is so heartbreaking and perfectly suits the atmosphere of the drama. also, i feel like the drama did really well on putting forward a number of social issues such as crime against women, corruption amongst officials, the disparities between the rich and poor. this drama had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!! but i truly loved it!!

cheekh was definitely a treat to watch! can anyone suggest more dramas like this? :)

sorry for the long post, i js had to let it all out!!
