Seni Çok Bekledim

My heading highlights the point that this coupling, Kadir and Alyse have come together by kismet.....a Destiny principle. Therefore once they meet from being and doing different life things, that coupledom is confirmed, we have no doubt about that therefore the story doesn't traipse throught he same-old, same-old on and off again lover tropes. In this one, the pair find they came into the world in midst of aftermath of the 1999 huge Istanbul earthquake, and that underpinning is the cause of the 13 episodes' focus.....who is actually connected to who, and a particular character very well cast, is known to the audience as a master manipulator.....whilst the extended families are unknowingly living lies of one style or another.

I did wonder why the commercial ratings didn't allow the show to extend beyond 13 episodes; which suits me. I'm quite over the looooong, draaaawn out nonsense that ruins too many diziler.

I thought the casting was good; I don't agree with some that 49yr old Ozcan Deniz is too old! The title "I've Waited For You So long" spells out that aspect. And the Alyse character comes into the story with her own confused past life, and need of healing amongst her quest for accuracy regarding to whom, and where does she belong.

As a couple they portray tenderness in their love to a very pleasing degree. The writing is quite tight and I found that the ends of the episodes had me impatient for the next unfolding. In fact, the style is almost of the 'thriller' genre.

The cinematography is excellent. I noted somewhere that filming was in the Gulf states, not as usual for dizi - in Istanbul.

Very disappointed with Ozcan Deniz to take part of such a series. Weak script and storyline. I watch all of Ozcan Deniz's works and they're much much stronger.

I recently watched this series particularly for Ilhan Sen , i admire Ilhan Sen for the portrayal of this role - young care a hang, dashing, rebellious attitude yet a sensitive person - he is awesome with brother Kadir ( ozcan Deniz) and their fun moments .

Kadir little old looking, perfect gentleman is subtle but romantic scenes with Irem was unnecessary n boring. Irem was all the time sad looking weeping queen could have cut down a bit.

Caner sahin - actually a handsome looking guy - but his role could have been better. All other characters were good n played their part well. Umut child is so cute.

Ilhan Sen is ultimate energy- wish he had not gone. His acting is top class!

Anyways the story had to move.overall worth watching.

Riza - dad of Kadir - could have joined the family reunion 😀

I was expecting more suspense story. I like the performance of Ozcan, but this series was below his career.

However, the story could be ended in 4 episodes at max.

The plot keeps repeating itself over and over, such style has been ended long time ago.

It's a really interesting series. I'm not sure why there's so low ratings given here. I've been deferring to watch this series because of the low ratings. The series came out with English translation on YouTube and I've been seeing good comments there. So, I decided to watch and am so glad I did. I'm at episode 4 and am giving this series many thumbs up! It has very deep soulful romance, mystery, murder, family matters and a superb cast with good acting skills. It's also fast paced. The only issue I notice is the big age gap between the male and female leads. It would have been a more believable story if the age gap is not so big. Sometimes it's painful to watch because the age gap shows physically and in mannerisms. But the story is so good and the acting as well such that I'm indeed enjoying the series. I must also mention that the music and song are hauntingly memorable.
