Gelin

Watched 1 hour of episode 1 and am disgusted over the acting, plot and situation. Where do scriptwriters come up with such plots with utter disrespect for values. The mother of a wealthy family manipulates the entire family with the sole purpose that the male lead who is his son produces a male heir. He is made to divorce his wife because of failure of birth of a child from their marriage, finds a poor girl and gets her married to his son with the promise to his ex wife that once a son is born by the new wife, the new wife will be divorced and the ex wife gets reunited with the male lead. The entire tone of the the 1 hour is haughty, stressful and cruel - so, you know what to expect of this series. Switch it off and avoid this!

I'm not surprised at the storyline, honestly most of these series adopt the same storyline if not more dramatic. I spent time fast forwarding through both episodes (1 and 2) cause I couldn't bring myself to actually sit for a whole 1 hour and a half cringing at the acting. I mean come on now, what on earth????!!!!! To top it off the long silent stares between characters, and glancing into the distance for what feels like 5 mins.

I can't watch this , spending almost 3 hours watching a series that's really not doing justice for that cast. The scriptwriters could do better than this series... bored.

I have never written a review for a series until today. I do not know what the screenwriters think about the audience. The writing especially for season 2 is very insulting to the audience. Season 1 was slow but better because we got to see the couple happy and together but season 2 has been a total chaos. The ex wife becomes the female lead and gets away with everything and the female lead and male lead becomes weak characters that cannot stand up for themselves. I feel so bad for the actors and I hope they get to feature in better projects where their talents would be recognized well. Gelin is a total mess, the series should be CANCELED!!

I have seen many turkish series just to pass time but this one is on top of the list for really glorifying lies and making it sound like self-sacrifice. The main character that started to ask for 1 million straight away, like she is the only person with problems in this planet, is portrayed like this 'good, innocent and pure girl' while she is such a narcissist but the worst is that people get fooled by this type of girl. The mission of the movie is probably to promote evil. Every man should stay away from this type of girls, because she is really casting a spell on him in this movie. From a good and successful man, that gives everything to her, in more than 100 episodes, she tortures him acting like innocent. While in the contrary, she was doing everything for her ego, with revenge, hate and jealousy. On the other hand, his ex-wife Bayza, is an open book. She is evil, but she doesn't pretend to be a saint and doesn't hide her intentions. You don't know which evil is better in this movie because they are all evil. Shame whoever came up with this script. Now I wonder, is this part of their faith, to lie, to deceive and to hate and they are passed as good deeds? Im really speechless. All I can say is stay away from this movie. This movie will only irritate everyone. 0/10 rating.

Edit: Was it necessary to make Derya the biggest braindead character of all series? It's so unbelievable, it's laughable. Why did she not phone the police when that evil buried Yonca? There was enough evidence right there and he would've been caught red-handed, but no, she had to try and solve things her way. I know the story has to continue, but really....? Make it more believable. This series is getting beyond ridiculous and Hançer's attitude is getting really boring. No sane person is so self-sacrificial. She actually doesn't love Cihan. This series has entered stupid-territory.

I wish I could write just one sentence.... I forwarded three quarters of each episode and still didn't miss anything. There is too much fluff that doesn't need to be there. And everything borders on the ridiculous.

I would've liked to ML & FL in a series with a bit more meat. They both have potential. I don't think the script gives them any opportunities. The ML can be soulful. The FL, in this series is too slow. The way she brushes her hair or cuts cheese or doesn't respond (her sister in-law has to tell her what to do all the time). It's like her brain doesn't work. It's too much. Did you hire her just for her beauty? Please give her a personality.

If only the storyline can be a little more interesting and the Directing be better...with not such long pauses and a better, more natural flow to it, it has potential.
