Jeyran

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.

This series is supposed to be a historical show written from a drama perspective. The director is a well known and famous one previously produced remarkable series such as "Madar e sefr darajeh" and "Shahrzad".

However, this latest work was nothing compared to them, it is poorly written, without any significant events in an episode. Too many fiction events which deteriorates the quality of a historical show with many wrong languages used like switching frequently between modern and old Farsi.

Scenes are too poorly written and although there are many skilled actors in the show, I still couldn't enjoy the series.

Bahram Radan, Prinaz Izdiar and Amiri Jafari were unique, and Merila Zarei was as great as ever. Singing the credits and songs of the series by Homayoun Shajarian was a unique choice. Thanks to Mr. Fathi for this selection and also thanks to Fardin Khalatbari.

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.

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.
