Jeyran

Jeyran tells a fictional story from the historical events after the death of Amir Kabir and focuses on the fate of Jeyran, one of the concubines of Naser al-Din Shah's harem. The series depicts a forbidden love, power struggles in the court, political conspiracies and intrigues, and a picture of court life in the Qajar era.

Jeyran is a well-made and entertaining series that, despite some weaknesses, has managed to attract many viewers thanks to its strong direction, acceptable acting, and engaging storytelling. If you are looking for a series that tells a romantic and adventurous story in the setting of the Qajar era, Jeyran can be a good choice for you.

I read two Persian critiques of Amir Abbasi and Vesaleh Latifi for this series, and I agree with them. This series was made with a very pure and attractive idea, but due to the not so good acting of the actors and also the defects of the form, it did not have a good output. Of course, I have seen two episodes so far, and it may be more interesting in the continuation of the series, and the acting of the actors will also be more pleasant.

Not that interesting that you might expect, the story is very slow and it fails to keep you watching or waiting for the next episode. There is simply too much talk and very little action, if you are looking for a series that keeps you watching, this is not a good choice. I give it a maximum 6 out of 10.

In the beginning of the series, most of the events are based on reality but as the series moves on, you start to realize that a lot of things are inaccurate compared to reality. For instance, the character Siavosh is completely made up and the war between Ghajar and Zand didn't actually happen during the rule of Naseredinshah. What is also very disappointing is the fact that this series is called a historical one and more than half of the events are not even close to reality. And don't even get me started on the ending, I won't spoil it for anyone but it was horrible and again very off and inaccurate. If you're looking for a historical one, this is not for you but it makes for a nice fictional romance.

Well it's based on true events and it makes it even more satisfying. It's a mixture of history, royalness, politics and love with great character development... Parinaz Izadyar portraits Khadijeh/Jeyran so well! The soundtracks are on of the best things about this show! The clothes and everything look so good too. But sometimes, it might get boring since it's based on true events. But it's easy anyway to fall in love with the plot and some of characters. At this time I'm writing these, there are not many episodes out yet and I hope it goes on like these or even better.
