As someone who has witnessed the evolution of storytelling over the years, Modern Dogu Masallari left me quite perplexed. It's clear the series was trying to blend modern elements with traditional Eastern folklore, but the end result is a strange, illogical mess that feels more like a jumble of ideas than a coherent narrative.
The plot itself is where the series truly falls apart. At times, it feels as though the writers couldn't decide what direction to take, and so they tossed in all sorts of disjointed elements with little regard for how they would connect. Characters move from one place to another without clear motivation, and the events seem random, as if they're happening for the sake of spectacle rather than for the sake of a meaningful story. It's frustrating because, as a viewer, you never really get the sense that there's a solid, well-thought-out plot driving the action forward. Instead, you're left scratching your head, wondering what's even happening.
One of the most jarring aspects of the show is the complete lack of logic in the narrative. Characters make decisions that don't make sense, plot points are introduced with no explanation or follow-up, and the pacing jumps around erratically. There are moments where the show seems to want to be serious, only to suddenly throw in a bizarre twist or a random action scene that feels completely out of place. The result is a story that feels like it's trying to force you to engage with it, but you can't because you never know what's coming next - and when it arrives, it doesn't seem to have any real purpose.
The lack of consistency in the plot is frustrating because it undermines any emotional investment you might have. Without a clear logic to guide the story, it's hard to understand what's at stake or why you should care about the characters. They often make decisions or find themselves in situations that are confusing and seem to exist only to create chaos or tension, rather than advancing the story in a meaningful way.
I found myself repeatedly questioning why certain events were happening. Why did the characters act the way they did? What was the purpose of this scene? By the time I reached the later episodes, it became clear that the story was just a series of random occurrences strung together with no clear end goal in mind.
The series also fails to develop any real emotional depth, as the plot's erratic nature makes it difficult to connect with the characters on a deeper level. It's hard to feel for them when their motivations are unclear, and their actions seem to follow no consistent logic.
