Episode #1.21

Episode 21 is a mixed bag. The #CihAl hand-holding scene, a key moment for the couple, felt rushed and was abruptly cut short by Mine's arrival. This interruption deflated the scene's emotional impact. Mine's pregnancy storyline continues to be a major issue, dragging down the narrative. Her continued presence, driven by this pregnancy, feels forced and is hindering the development of the #CihAl relationship. The storyline needs to be resolved quickly. The scenes between Cihan and Alya, particularly the hand-holding scene, felt rushed and too fast-paced. This pivotal moment, which should have allowed the characters' emotions to unfold, was cut short, leaving the audience wanting more. Greater detail and extended time dedicated to these interactions would allow for a deeper exploration of their growing connection. Deniz's scenes with Cihan provided a touching contrast, highlighting the potential for positive family development. However, overall, the episode's pacing was uneven, and Mine's storyline is detrimental to the show's central focus. The writers need to prioritize #CihAl and resolve Mine's pregnancy story.
