Taktiken der Liebe

Demet Ozdemir and Sukru Ozyildiz have a great performance on this romantic comedy. We get to see a different side of a Turkish Dizi this time. Great lines. Fabulous wardrobe by Demet and two fabulous and attractive partners in the protagonists. Loved it and recommend it.

This is a Turkish romantic comedy very reminiscent of the American "How to loose a guy in Ten Days." Gorgeous backdrops in both Istanbul and Cappadocia, Turkey and two famously gorgeous leads. Demet Özdemir from Erkenci Kus fame is absolutely beautiful and does her role justice. Sometimes she can overact, but I think she managed to hit just the right balance in this film(with maybe the exception of the hot air balloon ride). Sükrü Öyyildiz, who I have loved since Nefese Nefese and Kis Günesi, is an amazing actor and I know this wasn't meant to be a serious film, but he was definitely under-utilized in this film. He is not only handsome but he can act!

Basic premise is that Demet's character is a fashion designer and social media guru for women under an anonymous account, Sükrü's character is a bit of a playboy ad executive. Both make bets with their circle of friends to make the next girl/boy fall in love with them and then they meet at an event. Then fate keeps throwing them together which leads to some misunderstandings.

I felt this was fairly fresh, especially for a Turkish romantic comedy. It spent more time alone with the couple than their friends and actually sold the relationship which I appreciated.

What could be better than watching two attractive people fall in love? If you said nothing...than this is the film for you, I highly recommend it.

(Sorry about the improper "s"'s, IMDB will not allow the proper characters.)

A film to watch in the background while you are cooking or eating. The storyline is cheesy as hell.

It is a shame that in the year 2022, this "thing" represents the Turkish cinema on Netflix...

Things are quite exaggerated. Both leads are supposed to work in advertizing, but afford luxury places to live in. Pictures are also made to show only the best views of Istanbul and Cappadokia.

The chemistry of the lead couple could be better., but I have seen much worse before. But that of course helps the point that both play hard to get for most of the movie. Overall a bit old-fashioned kind of romance.

I thought the movie was cute. It is filled with cliches but it basically calls out that's what it is doing from the beginning. The lead actress has a gift for comedy. There was one scene on a balloon that had me laughing so hard. The lead actor did a good job too and I thought they both had great report and chemistry together. It's a fun romantic popcorn movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. I enjoyed it and will watch it again. I can't tell if some of the bad reviews are people who actually watched the movie or have it out for the actors playing. But I thought it definitely had it's fun moments.
