Kaderimin Oyunu

Story of continuous lies and deceit, male domination and female submission. Story of an egoist man, a weak woman, the weak woman and her family taking advantage of another weak man, and an actor whose acting skills ressembles that of a fish taken out of the waters. That's just it. Nothing really very interesting, more of annoying characters like most every other turkish series.

I'm confused if Cemal - the lead male character is a protagonist as he seemed to me more of an antagonist to be hated, with his antagonistic demeanor and character in the series. The lead female character is also annoyingly stupid with the same sluggard sullied acting much like in her other tv series. The main formula of this series is entirely the same as most turkish TV series = that is, to annoy and instill anger to the viewers.

Initially the story started slow but somehow I couldn't stop watching. As the show progressed it became more and more interesting. There was a time where I thought the progression was too slow, but it has now changed.

One's emotions fluctuate with this story, from liking someone to hating the same person to liking them again etc. Actually very good depiction of the fact that people have flaws and faults and how they ultimately react and change is a reflection on their real character.

Helen for instance I liked in the beginning and felt sorry for her. But as things came to light and seeing her mean-spirited behaviour and real character, made her extremely dislikable. Cemal, whom I disliked, became much loved.

In the beginning of the series I thought it doesn't make good use of Akin Akinözü's talent but it is slowly changing. I hope the series continues a bit longer and that the ratings pick up. There's more to explore here.

And then the writers didn't surprise with the ending...true to Turkish melancholy, it ends bad. Why don't you give viewers an escape form reality? Would it kill Turkish writers to satisfy viewers with a happy ending?

Think this might have been my last Turkish series I've watched. I watch movies and series to escape reality a bit...wanting a feel good ending...no such luck with turkish series. Therefore my rating changes from a 9 to a 4.

If you can somehow believe in the coincidences, it makes a great and very exciting show to watch. The first episode is a bit slow but be patient. After the 2nd episode, the excitement just picks up tremendously.

The dynamics of the situations the protagonists are in is simply amazing.

It will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Acting is excellent. Especially watch out "Zahide". She is phenomenal.

The only weak part of the story is that quite a few coincidences occur, which are not very realistic. However, if you can somehow accept those as the only shortcomings of the story, you are in for a very entertaining series.

This is such a powerful story, I almost cried while watching, The chemistry, the passion, the kiss... Oh my god, they are so perfect!

No matter how many times I see this it always gets to me and I think we all can agree that akin akinozu is phenomenal actor.

Probably the best I have ever seen. Emotions change from sorrow to anger and then back .all actors are super but the girl playing Nargis deserves an unstoppable applause. Two hours of episode and still you don't want it to end .loved it.
