Üç Kiz Kardes

Three Sisters by Ical Aydin has been one of my favorite novels for quite some time. I was very excited to hear that it was going to be adapted as a series. To be honest I was worried that the drama wouldn't be able to be a successful adaptation but once I saw the episode, I was impressed by the acting and the scenario. Hopefully if the shows maintins this standard there would be no stopping it from winning many rewards or just being remembered for its unique story and great acting.

The drama seriously lacks moral value. Abuse, infidelity, and even murder are treated lightly and easily forgiven, as if there are no real consequences. It's not healthy for the mind and doesn't promote any positive message. Turkan behaves like a child - emotionally unstable and lacking any clear direction in life, and Somer is just the same. The sensible, logical characters are pushed to the side, while the three sisters constantly lie to and hide things from each other. Sadik, the father, bizarrely keeps a criminal and an abusive ex-husband close to his daughter, which is completely illogical and unrealistic.

I like the story, felt like it is being dragged a little though, want to see more "drama" & action between Türkan & Somer! I feel a real situation like that might have more interaction. I find the EVIL mother in law and all her abuse towards Turkan hard to watch! (Brilliant acting) - Türkan is way too "slow and naive" and truly hope she develops into a woman that overcome because she makes the viewer frustrated for being so timid!

Besides the fact that the main reason I was wanting to see this show of it having my favorite actress Ozgu Kaya as one of the leads, I was quite excited by how it was based on a novel whose very writer is also the actress of the drama. I was also glad that a Turkish drama was focusing on female protagonists which is a big change. Thankfully, my expectations were met, as if I hadn't seen the trailers I would have been utterly shocked by the big reveal( which I will not tell you as I intend to not give spoilers and I recommend you to not see trailers as they always reveal everything in Turkish dramas). Besides that I was also fascinated with the overall acting and story-like depiction of real life problems in this drama.

Oh no, what a boring story. There is really no intrigue and it's such a slow moving story that I keep falling asleep. And then most of the story happens in slow motion too...as if it's not slow enough already. And the acting...it's definitely the director's or screenwriters' fault as the two main characters are good but not so much in this series. I haven't read the book it's based on but I have no interest in doing so either.
