Kurt Seyit ve Sura

This has to be one of my all time favorite movies. Yes, I continue to watch it as a movie, absolutely love the music, the actors are perfect for their parts. Tears, smiles, laughter, smirks, all the emotions you want in a drama. The camera angles are so different than we normally see with American films and the way they show the love scenes are just beautiful. I have watched all the episodes a dozen times in the past 3 weeks, know the dialogue by heart. It's a beautiful love story. Can't say enough about it...Just love it. I'm a history buff and this introduced a culture that I am not familiar with and spurred my interest in learning more. I have never been a fan of subtitles, but this is the exception.

overall, the acting the story was ruthlessly realistic and strong, just like the main actor (Seyit). The series played with emotions from happy to sad to extremely shocked it just is truly amazing! It's very rare when a woman loves and appreciates another woman character when she loves the male main character a lot but she is so strong and shows how strong a woman's love it, and how medal through all the hard times with hope and trust.the ending was more realistic than i would have liked it to be. there are also side loves stories that you will love too. Moreover, it portrays what jealousy wit money and connections can do and how it can control someone's life and ruin it. The evil guy (-----) is truly dirty to the core. With this series expect the unexpected!!

Anyways, you will enjoy it, love, and cry a lot (happy and sad tears) !

The sets and costumes of this film leave me breathless. I can't get over the lavish locations...places that actually exist that I have never heard of. One of the reasons I love foreign films is for the knowledge, history and culture, that would be unknown in the western world were it not for these films. The acting was wonderful, the actors, WOW, so beautiful. How can the western world be unaware of Kivanç Tatlitug? The historical storyline was interesting and, again, unknown to me. I spent some time researching the time period and locations of the film. I can't speak to much of the series because I am only on episode #4 but I am compelled to write. At this moment, the scene is of Kurt Seyit and Sura sitting on a couch before a fireplace as they prepare for him to leave for the front. I can't wait to see more.

I wholeheartedly appreciated this series. What a wonderful, refreshing contrast to Hollywood. It's a love story, but so much more, its a story about war, deep family connections, deception, oppression, unrequited love, also the deep emotional attachment to another person but how the gears can misaligned and the relationship stops working no matter how hard you try. It was brutally realistic and I am emotionally drained after watching the whole series in a week. I was watching it on my phone during breaks at work and anytime I had a few min. The characters were so perfectly cast and beautiful I was hooked in the first episode. It was great that the villain was as handsome as the rest of the cast. As painful as the ending was it couldn't go any other way. That's life. This was my 3rd Turkish series and I love the work they do. No graphic sex scenes not a lot of violence, just very well done. Can we have more please?

there's more to cinema than Hollywood! what's missing normally, but not in this series: emotion. aesthetics. history. sheer reality. humanity. life.

most films, esp. western, miss a soul and/or meaning. most Hollywood films are cold, violent or shallow fantasies. even if Hollywood does romance, there's somehow aggression involved. rarely real stories. modern western films tend to not be alive!

thank goodness for Netflix, or America would be void of foreign films, which are so damn necessary as alternative to shallow Hollywood, not to mention there's a whole big beautiful interesting exceptional worthy world out there that Americans don't see otherwise. IMDb also needs to get its act together and be more detailed/professional on foreign productions, not focus so much on Hollywood.

this series has 46 episodes in 1 season! ; ) one truly gets involved in the characters, mood. it's one of those series that is hard to get out of. it's almost hard to keep watching, not because it's un-watchable, to the contrary! ; ), but because one dreads what comes next: no series will match its depth/emotion/beauty...

IMDb has several errors in the cast, incl. not naming a main character, Pedro, and putting him way down the list (Birkan Sokullu). there's other omissions/mistakes too. it's incomplete information.

plus IMDb mentions S2 but without any details. will there be a 2nd season?! hope so. but unlikely. so why tease us? ; )

where can one upload images and comment (not just review) on IMDb?
