Drawn in by the intriguing, beautiful carpet making art, and stayed hoping for a happy life for this abused family.
Fascinating culturally, this movie shined a light on what still happens in some small villages in Turkey, how they still hold on to ancient ideas, and abuse that is permissible under the shroud of so called "marriage" and "honor" and "tradition". Ironically, the wealthy families in this show didn't exactly have a picture perfect life either- for different reasons. Both rich and poor deal with the poison of jealousy and envy. Both experience domestic violence. And human trafficking exists everywhere. Very sad. The devil doesn't care if you're rich or poor.
There is truly good and bad in every culture, race, sex, age.
More specifically, the characters were quite interesting. I admired Cennet's tenacity most. I appreciated Artem's loyalty and Leyla's kindness.
The story line had many twists and turns, but got a little too complicated and annoying by the 10th episode or so.
Very very very bizarre ending that was incongruent and just left the viewers confused and disappointed.
