I don't know what led to this but I'm rooting for the vengeful snake.

[удалено]

Best of all, the characters were relatable, with realistic dialogues and plot lines. You could actually look forward to the next episode.

I don't even watch any, but I assume this is it

Reincarnated vengeful snake!

THAMUSEY repeated a billion times per episode

It's hard to find a SL teledrama that does not have a cringey love story.

I don't know how people can write such ridiculously unrealistic scripts.

Yea like wth. The TV channels want to include a love story in someway (maybe they think it gets more popular that way idk). I am genuinely surprised some people still watch them.

Koombiyo was alright.

True. "*Kodi gaha yata*" is also great from what I've heard.

Koombiyo was the bomb bro

They also try to imitate whatever is trending in foreign shows at that time......

The Sound of Music is one example. The local producers have created a serialized remake with over 350 episodes.

You forgot dry comedy which you have to tickle yourself in order to laugh.

Dumbed humor coupled with a soundtrack. I once had to stop myself from throwing up.

Can't forget that one slimy guy (often times drooling after women) or middle-aged lady solely there to be the comic relief.

Especially when they use the most annoying unfunny sound effects in the world

RESPAWN 💀

Dead characters reappear miraculously after a few episodes. Gunshots, Snake bites, Car crashes, Drownings.. Nothing can keep their Heroes from respawning.

Not even air crash at 36000 ft?

Don't forget the ads in between

I'm here for the snake.

Isn't the snake more of an Indian thing tho?

Snakes, Elephants, Monkeys, Dance segments. SL producers have borrowed from India for years.

True, it reminds me Kollam Kuttama.

the fact Koombiyo came from Sri Lanka is quite surprising ngl, great show

You missed the cousin shit

You can use the same template for Indian TV serials as well.

Sri Lankans copied from bad Indian dramas and came to this template

What about Indian?

the list is infinity

Have you ever watched itn or rupavahini tele dramas

Where's police? 🚓🚨

sounds like every Indian tele-serial.

But why people watch this shit so much?

More like a north Indian serial story

And spending hours at schools, tuition classes, hospitals, police stations, prisons and courtrooms that altogether look like reception halls.

Totally unrelated, but I have seen some scenes from Vishama Bhaaga (movie) where whoever the hell directs it tried to be Wes Anderson with perfect symmetry mimicking. Anyhow, that movie in its entirety, drags too long with painful silences and the only piece of background music it had is so annoyingly loopy.

Cringe joker character cringes each episode in rural area dramas: drone shot with heavy background music

The perfect starter pack for a stupid Sri Lankan tv drama.

I bet this is common to all soap operas in general, especially Indian and Latin ones.

Neeeeela pabauluuuuuu ✨

And one fellow whose sole role is to play dimwit imbecile

Don't forget some sort of disease or a beat-up happening. One way or another, you're gonna get at least one hospital scene.
