Gul E Rana's Last Episode

An egotistical man, a terrible husband has a near-fatal accident, changes his ways and learns to appreciate and love his wife.  This is what I thought GulE Rana would be.  This is what it was in the last episode.

I don't understand Pakistanj writers sometimes (Ok, most of the time).  They write a beautiful premise for a story, have great material and great actors to work with and then somehow, they end up screwing it all up, become aimless, move the plot in a direction it never needed to go in and mess up what could've seriously been a classic.  How? WHY?

If what had happened in episode 19 (Adeel's accident) had happened in episode 13, Adeel's hitting Rana, doing Rana's character assassination in front of Taaya Abu....this all could've been avoided.  Instead, the show could've used a good number of episodes to acknowledge Adeel's remorse, gradually make it up to Gul E Rana, touch upon his relationship with his step-mother (completely forgotten), explaining away the situation with his "friend" Mona and even closed the chapter with Maria, clearing up all the lies.  Oh! And maybe the audience could've actually been treated to some loving, affectionate moments like we were fooled into thinking we'd see by the creatives in the OST (Ok, yes, they happened, but it was too little, too late).

Asher Bhai finally died.  Can someone explain why?  Was that necessary?  Why did Asher have to be relegated to merely a pawn in Adeel and Rana's relationship?  He had other relationships to live for, namely his mother and sister.  Yes, the illness could've taken him out of the picture for Rana, but I would've liked to see him give Adeel the same speech (MUCH earlier, in like episode 17!!!), move on to treatment, recover, get a good job, get married to a wonderful woman and give his mother and sister the happiness they've always deserved.  Why is that so hard for writers to do?

Coming back to Rana, we were treated to this tailspin of an episode where everything happened all at once.  Everything felt rushed.  Adeel tried to make amends and then suddenly goes to a party, leaving Rana hungry while waiting for him.  Why?  Why did that even happen??  It made zero sense.  Rana finds out about Asher's demise, clinging to him, hugging him, acknowledging that she now relies on him....and then leaves for Karachi.  We then see that 3 months later, Adeel is living a miserable, quiet life in the mountains, playing with kids and missing Rana while Rana is in Karachi, teaching Jack And Jill to school kids as a really irritating teacher.  WHY?

Some explanation is necessary!  There was no talk of divorce.  Ok? So they are heading for divorce?  Or are they merely living apart until Rana can learn to forgive him?  You know what could've made this more powerful?  If Rana were living separately while pursuing further graduate education and taking that time to forgive Adeel, while his repentance is in supporting her.  But NO. Instead, we just don't know what happened other than them being apart.

Feroze and Sajal deserve credit for their spectacular chemistry.

Oh Gul e Rana - I will always remember this as a show that could've been great, set an example of how people can change, how the male chauvinist mindset is outdated and how love can grow.  Instead, we were left with a show that did nothing but disappoint.
