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.

This series is unbelievable .It portrays Turkish people as dim, stupid and even evil! So many loose ends, the doctors death left many clues not followed up, the baby snatching with no health follow ups and Hancer and Melih with their dim witted characters".......unbelievable!

Don't watch this.....it's a total waste of time. The poor actors that no directors will be chasing to employ

The pace of the series is so slow with 25% flashbacks in each episode so ALL viewers fast forward in every episode. Viewers don't need to see flashbacks if they are hooked on the series

I stopped watching at episode 92 as storyline was beyond belief but just checked and it stopped at episode 128......no surprise there.

Hanca and Cihan are a gorgeous couple. Toxic relationship. Why wasn't a surrogate used since that's what happened with this request?

Some of the series I have seen so far show evil sides and intrigue from the opposition. Sometimes the evil treatment is so devastating, i cannot continue to watch. Beyaz and Cihans mother plotted against Hanca although their attempts failed. I'd like to know if Beyaz was treated like Hanca by Cihan. Why do the men in some of the series along with their mothers accuse the women of I'll behavior without asking. Some of the remarks made by Cihan to Hanca were so demeaning. Hanca was innocent and pure and only wanted to help her brother.

While I love this storyline. It can be misconstrued as denergrating of women who are asked, as it this case, to marry and have a child, by a rich family when the woman proposes conditions. It was unusual but Cihan could have said no or he changed his mind. I truly disliked Hancas greedy sister in law. She made Hanca look cheap when she was the negotiator.

Furthermore, I do not perceive Hanca's "condition" as ill repute. There was no sex involved. Therefore, if I had the choices she had with entering into an arranged marriage as a surrogate without benefits, only abuse or agreeing to an arranged surrogate marriage with a one-million dollar benefit to save her brother, the latter would have been my choice. Why did Beyaz allow Cihans mother to convince her to divorce when all they needed to do was pay a surrogate? I am patiently waiting for season 2 when it's revealed that Beyaz could in fact conceive but chose to have an abortion because she was going to have a girl and did not want a girl. Her friend previously threaded Beyaz with a picture of the ultrasound she had. The intrigue continues.

Is there at least a happy ending to this series?

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.

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!
