Esref Rüya

It is a pleasure to follow Demet Özdemir's projects. Each of her characters is different, never the same, this time in the role of a singer, a cheerful woman with a child's soul who tries to achieve her ideals. The character is perfect for Demet, they are similar, she is a person with a special soul beauty. Demet's acting is remarkable, she easily switches from comedy to drama, now we smile at her lines, then, in a few minutes we feel her feelings, fear, despair, pain.. Nisan wakes up between two evils, a policewoman obsessed with an unrequited love, who uses it to take revenge and the mafia world, where she meets Esref, who is looking for his lost love from childhood. We witness an impressive love story, reminiscent of the Hollywood atmosphere of the 60s, the cast, direction, script, music, decor, filming, are of quality. The series is worth watching, a thriller, about human relationships, love, loyalty, betrayal,

I haven't written a review in years! This has turned out to be one of the best series out right now. It started out slow but has built up to a superbly written and acted series!

Its a very unique plotline. There's no emasculated men bullied by bitter mother/grandmother, no weak female victims getting slapped around, there are multiple villains who are psycho, but the chess moves of the tribe/mafia families, psycho exes, the "good" bad guys, and the bad bad guys has me anticipating every Wednesday night! Great series!

Cagatay and Demet are masters of their craft!

I love the supporting cast as well. Superb writing! Love this series!

Im sorry but im dissapointed after reading Slow Over Hyped Boring comment. I encourage people to continue watching this series. It has the best actors (Necip) and actress on the screen. I mean why would Cagatay and Demet act in a series if the storyline was boring.? And the Director himself is someone to look out for with so many movies worth watching. Trust me, this series is and will be truly captivating. Another Mafia story that will keep you glued.

The start could hv be dragging as its telling the story itself. But the plot definitely gets more interesting. These Mafia stories have become an inthing these days. Excitement with romance.

Esref Rüya is a masterpiece and masterful blend of intense drama, deep emotions, and gripping storytelling, capturing the essence of love, ambition, and the struggle between fate and choice. With its stellar cast, breathtaking cinematography, and the plot is on point, it stands as a testament to the brilliance of Turkish television. The chemistry between Çagatay Ulusoy and Demet Özdemir is electrifying, and breath taking. From its richly developed characters to its hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. I can't get it out of my mind I'm obsessed .This series is perfection I highly recommend you to watch it.

51 comments after just 5 episodes??

Why is everything about this series so strange? Why are the ratings either 1 or 10? It feels like there's some bias involved and some people are intentionally giving it a 1-star rating. Even the worst Turkish films and series didn't get so many 1-star ratings after just 5 episodes like this one has.

Please stop this nonsense.

This series has been truly decent for just five episodes, and it probably hasn't even covered 10% of its story yet. How can you judge it so easily?

The directing and cinematography are way above the standard level of Turkish productions.

The acting is outstanding, especially Eshref's character, which suits Cagatay perfectly.

Honestly, it feels like you're criticizing this series out of spite.

All the accounts that gave this series a low rating or a 1 were created in April 2025. Isn't that a bit suspicious?
