One social media user wrote, “A disappointing project.” Another added, “Stopped watching after epi 2 cuz there’s literally nothing new. Pure trash.”

A longtime viewer expressed deeper disappointment, saying, “Don’t know why I couldn’t start this drama when I’ve loved Bilal and Musadiq’s works… Nothing could excite me after that burning-the-car scene. So disappointed.”

“No bad or average script can be saved by any top-notch director. Script is the king. Musadiq is a good director but he couldn’t save this one,” wrote another user.

Some viewers also pointed out the overemphasis on aesthetics rather than storytelling. “Honestly, they put more effort into luxurious cars, houses, clothes rather than the storyline… They couldn’t utilise the actors’ talents properly,” one fan commented.

Another questioned Bilal’s choice of role itself: “I’m not a fan of Bilal, but it’s strange to me why he would take on this role?”

Written by Radain Shah and directed by Musaddiq Malik, the drama now stands at a crucial point. Whether Meri Zindagi Hai Tu will rise to the level of successful Pakistani dramas like Ishq Murshid and Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum remains to be seen. With more episodes lined up, viewers are waiting to find out if the storyline will finally pick up or continue to fall flat.
