Just don't begin it at all...

[anxhelabajramix · 5/10 · 14 October 2022]

I don't know how did I gave this series a 5 in its first episode. Maybe it was because of the music choices, chemistry between Demet & Bugra, or the directing which is better than most typical turkish series we're used to watch. But the story is so vague, so nonsense and tbh it gets you irritated.

I was waiting so much of Sinem's character, maybe someone who would revenge Ilkin not only by getting Tolga but also by showing that she can be seen by others too, she would get maybe into higher positions, but I understood this wouldn't work since she gave those stupid ideas that no one liked just Ilkin accepted because of their secret pact. She such a cringy character that everytime she gets in a hard situation, only thing she does is cry like a baby. Now Sinem is such useless in this story that after Tolga learns she's not Berlin, I don't know what will be her place in this how story.

Also not to talk about Ilkin. Gosh what did she want to prove to herself when all the time she was the one creating the conditions for Tolga to be fully interested in Berlin, being aware he was in a delicate psychological state. She started this game and she was the one to give the end she wanted but she lost the wheel, destroying herself and her relationship. The only good thing now is Kenan. Hope they don't destroy his character.

Not bad

[christine8791 · 6/10 · 7 January 2023]

It is a watchable, well-acted TV series. The leads are convincing especially Bugra Gulsoy. But the TV series lacks something-it fails to captivate you, and in the end you find yourself not caring about what happens to the characters, which, in my opinion, is a bad thing. The only two characters I cared about were side characters of Juneyit and Burchin. The spark and fun was coming from them, and not from the leads. The chemistry is missing between Bugra and demet, Bugra and hafsanur, which is a pity, because the script was very promising at the beginning and it could have turned into something spectacular, which, sadly, it failed to achieve.

An excellent series

[gamiko · 9/10 · 5 October 2022]

An excellent series that surpassed all my expectations in terms of quality and interesting content. Excellent work of the whole team: screenwriter, director, cameraman, make-up artists, costume designers ... and of course the magnificent four of the main characters. There is no falsehood in the game, the actors have grown together with their heroes. Demet once again delighted with her extraordinary energy and sensuality. She is one of those rare actresses who is subject to any role. Her game touches the most delicate strings of the soul, you laugh and cry with her. In addition, she has a very mobile facial expression, which she masterfully uses, and so precisely that you understand her without words. She draws the viewer to the screen.

Bugra Gyulsoy is also a great actor, there is an extraordinary chemistry between Tolga and Ilkin.

Havsanur is still a very young but talented actress.

A high quality series about the relationships and feelings of people.

Bad reviews are written out of envy by a fans of a well-known actor, so you should not pay attention to them.

Not very engaging, boring and very poorly acted

[dikeforya · 1/10 · 22 October 2022]

I didn't like this series. The characters are underdeveloped and the actors don't give them any nuance, especially actor Demet Ozdemir. Always with the same expressions whether he is playing a comedy or a drama. I haven't seen something so artificial in a long time.

It's a shame, Bursa is a great actor and he deserves a better project in terms of script and cast. Bed scenes in Turkish series are rather embarrassing than anything else The main protagonist is not good in acting, her performance is very weak flat, without espression and intensità; She always the same. She should not accept roles for which she is not good enough acting just for financial motivation. On the whole it's boring, banal and poorly acted. Absolutly not recommended.

amazing

[gia50166 · 9/10 · 24 September 2022]

This series is very new, fresh for Turkey. The director Hulya Gezer is very talented, she loves directors like David Frenkel and Quentin Tarantino. You cand find some ideas from those in the series, but the result is very original. The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous like the script with a lot suspence. We Are talking about relationships mistakes. Demet Ozdemir confirmes herself like the most talented and versatile actress in Turkey. Her beauty and sensuality are legendary. Demet gives an notable drammatic acting. Also the other members of cast are absolutely talented and we Have Zerrintekindor.

A Dizi with no Restrictions

[nhqzmbqr · 1/10 · 27 October 2022]

Poorly written and terribly acted. Love scenes are so fake. I wish the government of Turkey would make up its mind. Either they allow hardly any kissing or go all in in the worst way. You can tell the actors are not used to true to life love scenes. The actress Demet Ozdemir has totally ruined her once beautiful face with excessive fillers. I could hardly look at her knowing what she once looked like. If this is an example of what Disney Plus is offering, I feel bad for their company. In addition, film is very badly edited. The male protagonist appears to be a good actor. I will look for him in something that is more professional.

Disappointed ending

[brendasueoneal · 1/10 · 8 March 2023]

Ilkin ruined a lot of peoples' lives with her delusional scheme. Terrible ending ...at least it stayed true to her selfishness. She inflected pain to a lot of people because of her arrogant, 'my way or no way' attitude. She threw around her superior persona at her company, with no regards for the feelings of her employees. She was demanding in her relationship with Tolga, making it impossible to have an intimate relationship with him...always wanting him to act a certain way, when and how she wanted. That should have been a stopping place to quit watching as was obvious not going to end well for anyone but illin! Hate that i wasted a lot of time watching! Do not recommend.

A talent confirmation..Wonderful story

[sales-42390 · 10/10 · 24 September 2022]

Wonderful! I have seen 3 episodes and it is simply amazing, intriguing, sensual. The psychological element is well developped and keeps the story in suspense. It touches also the sensual element in a very soft way. It is not erotic, but sensual, charming. The cast is so good! Demet Özdemir is perfect! She is spectacular in acting, she makes you feel all the emotions. Her beauty takes the breath away. Bugra...his performance of a man whose unsatisfied carreer impacts on his emotional life is so true. I'd say also the subject is very topical, the socials are condicioning our lives and many times also our choices. This series is really the Top!

great talent

[shash16-640-40161 · 8/10 · 9 October 2022]

This show has a much lower rating than it deserves. The show tells a very relatable relationship story and Demet is doing such a great job in the role. You really get to see how well she can act in not only comedies but in a more serious, boss woman role. I may be biased because Demet is my fave but the show is directed so well and she plays the character pretty perfectly and it's so much different to other characters she has played. I'm also pretty happy to see Metin join the cast. I don't want to spoil the show but I would definitely recommend watching it. It's not a typical lengthy drama that's over the top dramatic. It's a miniseries that takes you through the emotions of heartbreak and betrayal in a pretty realistic and mature way. The casting and directing is honestly perfect. Just wanted to write because the reviews are really not giving the show justice.

AMAZING

[gia50166 · 9/10 · 23 September 2022]

The series is wonderful. The director is a real talent and knows the Western world very well as the atmospheres (we are in Istanbul but we could be in New York), the entirely international soundtrack and the montage reminiscent of the masterpieces of Tarantino, Richard Thorp, David Frankel demonstrate. Lead actress Demet Ozdemir confirms herself as one of the most talented and versatile of Turkish actresses. Furthermore, her mature and sophisticated beauty does not allow you to take your eyes off her which is constantly enhanced by eclectic but sensual outfits. A goddess of absolute beauty. The rest of the cast is also extremely good. The script is lively and not at all obvious. > A must see.

Awesome series. Super.

[October93 · 10/10 · 2 October 2022]

Great job by the whole team. The work of the director, screenwriters. Quite atypical for the Turkish audience. This has never happened before in Turkish TV series. Of course, I want to highlight my love more - Demet Ozdemir. She is amazing in this series. I have not seen such a Demet in more than one series. Her game, her style, her presentation... it's all crazy great. She has grown a lot as an actress. The chemistry of Demet-Bugry is just fire. I really look forward to the hero Metin. I hope he heals her wounds. And I really want to mention the actress Zerrin Tekindor, their tandem with Demet is simply beyond praise. I look forward to every episode. I really hope for a second season. Super.

Wonderful drama

AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE!!!!!!

[IMBDenthusiastic · 10/10 · 1 October 2022]

A thrilling drama show of the highest quality kept me glued to the screen biting my nails waiting to see what happens next.

Demet Ozdemir, one of turkey's greatest actresses of all times is unstoppable- she can do comedy, thrillers, drama, heck she can do everything!!!!!

The firey chemistry between her and the male protagonist portrayed by Bugra Gülsoy keeps viewers intrigued and passionate about the ever evolving plot. The cinematography is incredible, the scenes are well made and the writing is outstanding.

Disney Plus Turkey scored big time with this production I cannot wait for the next episode. Standing ovation to the entire cast!!!!!!

Great series

[pepaskiol · 10/10 · 9 October 2022]

Great series, best I've seen in a while and I only seen it in Turkish so far. I haven't seen many other Turkish series but so glad to came across this one while was in Europe in September and have been looking forward to the next episode Wednesdays.

The only reason I'm subscribing to Disney plus is because I've read recently that there will be season two of this series, so hopefully Disney plus doesn't disappoint, as I want to see it with English subtitles now.

Also Demet Ozdemir, the main actress is a real discovery for me. I went and watched some other work of hers and she is quite good, something like unique combination of young Catherine Zeta Jones and Sofia Vergara.

the beeest

[monaaaaazolghadr · 10/10 · 13 December 2022]

This was the best series that I have seen from Turkish series. It was wonderful in every way. The choice of actors, costume design, very strong, different and exciting story, up-to-date filming and staging The three main characters of the series in the best possible way. They continue the series and they have such a good game that one enjoys watching the series as well This series can compete with a series of American series I suggest everyone to watch this series so that others can enjoy it I congratulate the director, cinematographer, music selector and all those who made this series thancks IMDb.

Enthralling

[amberlevr · 10/10 · 9 October 2022]

This is one of the most captivating TV series I've ever watched, it keeps you enthralled in the narrative, not just because of the overall ejnoyable story but especially because of the amazing performance of the talented actress Demet. The show perfectly captures and depicts the emotions of the main characters - I cannot wait to see the last episode! I really hope the show gets a season 2 because it'd be a real bummer not to be able to see more of these characters. Honestly, all the actors are good, but the main protagonists are just perfect in their role (all of Demet's works are nice but this one is really above all else she's done).

Engaging and emotional relationship drama

[reet-marits · 9/10 · 9 October 2022]

I love it, the directing, cinematography, music, the cast, the plot. If you like good relationship drama then it's for you. The different angles of life and love and reasons you aren't able to be happy. It's possible to relate, recognize characters, situations, you probably have your own similar experiences. Other person can't make you happy if you aren't satisfied with yourself. The need to accept help and need for good friends who provide it when you need it most. Very emotional and catchy. I like the whole cast, all characters have flaws, some have more but they all seems to real, you treat them as real persons and love or despise accordingly.

Great romance series for a weekend

[wizzsignssales · 9/10 · 30 January 2023]

Great actors. Good plots and had a good time watching this. I loved seeing the actors. The Engkish over dubbing could have matched the mouths better but once you get i pver that part it's great. I look forward to see more of all of these actors in the future, and hope this writer also does more, loved it! Great cast. I really enjoyed the fashion industry and acting careers being part of the plot, and the apartments settings were fun to see also. The play within the show had a great scene. Nice sets, nice scenery, real good entertainment. I'm still not sure what could try this was made in originally but felt it was a worldwide plot and story we can all identity with on many levels.

Unique and different

[katemiddletonfc · 10/10 · 17 December 2023]

I really love this series. Ilkin such a strong female character. I love demet ozdemir's acting. The peak is on the fifth episode where she sees tolga with posting picture with sinem. How heartbreaking. It's very real. I been there when i broke up. It's like that. Unfortunately ilkin doesn't end up with kenan. He helps her a lot with the breakup phase. I wish there will be second season for this. Demet ozdemir has a very wide range in acting. Not only in romcom but also drama. She potrays all the characters very good. No wonder this series got award and ranked 1st on its premier on disney. Congrats to all.

Simply the best

[nima-27637 · 10/10 · 16 July 2023]

Wow, this series is super great Demet once again give a great performance, shes strong, talented woman, its show how good she is on her role, beautiful, stunning and the acting is just great, I love her more and Bugra is a good actor, hes sexy in here and match demet personality, the rest of tge supporting cast are good too,, we really is looking forward for season two, but disney got a big problem now, we wish that other digital flatform like netflix we buy iit.. we really neeed to see another chapter who ends with bugra or metin. We all enjoy the series but so sad disney take it out on there platform.

Modern, nice to watch miniseries with the story which can be the story about Demet Ozdemir and Can Yaman's romance, but it also can be a story of each of us.

After watching many Turkish series I've got a little bit tired with local flavors, customs, way of communication and behaviour. So this one has an advantage for me that is freed from that and is pretty universal.

Very good photography, production design, costumes, music, story, rhythm, filming locations, almost everything.

Demet is slowly becoming larger than life and it would be good if she realized that as soon as possible. Excellent role by Zerrin Tekindor.

Highly recommended and captivating, with a very talented and engaging Demet Özdemir.

[caterinasorice · 9/10 · 9 March 2024]

Demet Özdemir doesn't miss a beat and surprises again this time in the role of a very charming and elegant Ilkin, she convinces in every role but this time she fully expresses her polite interpretation and her personal charisma. Superb series because it is modern and engaging, with a high quality of performance from the entire cast, also high digital quality, great direction and excellent editing, splendid soundtracks.

The story interweaves the different relationships that are created between the characters very well, the plots and their evolutions are interesting.

The public would love to see the second series too.

Vote 10.

Muy dinámica. Excelente

[anamcares · 10/10 · 26 May 2023]

Excellent direction, photography and music in a modern series. I loved it. Demet is an overrated actress. The note is forced in her scenes that are more than anything to walk in front of the camera. Hafsanur, on the other hand, shows greater ductility despite not being so well known. Metin, correct in that therapist who is so patient but not very seductive. A separate theme is Bugra Gulsoy. The series goes through him. His silences, his low voice, sweetness and that mixture of tiredness and sadness with which he builds his character make him undoubtedly superior to his peers. The director has known how to give her only acting and shots where she demonstrates her ductility. He is a great low-key actor but he always surprises.
