Initially the story started slow but somehow I couldn't stop watching. As the show progressed it became more and more interesting. There was a time where I thought the progression was too slow, but it has now changed.
One's emotions fluctuate with this story, from liking someone to hating the same person to liking them again etc. Actually very good depiction of the fact that people have flaws and faults and how they ultimately react and change is a reflection on their real character.
Helen for instance I liked in the beginning and felt sorry for her. But as things came to light and seeing her mean-spirited behaviour and real character, made her extremely dislikable. Cemal, whom I disliked, became much loved.
In the beginning of the series I thought it doesn't make good use of Akin Akinözü's talent but it is slowly changing. I hope the series continues a bit longer and that the ratings pick up. There's more to explore here.
And then the writers didn't surprise with the ending...true to Turkish melancholy, it ends bad. Why don't you give viewers an escape form reality? Would it kill Turkish writers to satisfy viewers with a happy ending?
Think this might have been my last Turkish series I've watched. I watch movies and series to escape reality a bit...wanting a feel good ending...no such luck with turkish series. Therefore my rating changes from a 9 to a 4.
