This pale in comparison to Indian soap opera
nah they don't sasural simar ka "housefly arc" level stuff anymore...
also, isn't having your fil's bby (supposedly) soap opera level? bc a lot of them have evil adopted child, illegitimate child, "are you sure your child is yours and not your wife's other lover's?" etc etc arcs. although, i don't think we'll ever see "fil's bby" route unless it's portrayed as sa or as the wife and ml's dad banding together to plot an evil scheme against the ml. even then, it's highly unlikely bc "this doesn't reflect well on our sanskar" and all that shit
make this guy a writer of an indian soap opera, he'll make bank (☆▽☆)
