Senden Daha Güzel

Love the actors and Cemre is a favorite female lead for sure!

Chemistry is off the charts and this series can be a very good one indeed!

Romance / Drama / Comedy all packaged for good entertainment!

This Turkish romantic comedy could have been called the battle of the gorgeous eyes! Both lead actors have phenomenal eyes and they used them well in the telling of this hate to love romantic comedy. Cemre Baysel, who plays our main character and romantic female lead Efsun, has large green eyes that are the most distinctive characteristic of her face and she uses them to her advantage. Burak Çilek, who played the male romantic lead Emir, had the most gorgeous blue eyes...you could drown in them. The two leads in this short 14 episode romantic series were new to me...but I enjoyed them so much that I sought out other series that they have done in the past and watched them in the course of this 2022 series.

This is the story of Efsun who is a rural doctor practicing in Antep when fellow doctor and plastic surgeon Emir arrives to bring her to Istanbul where her estranged mother, Pervin, blackmails her into covering for her at the plastic surgery clinic that she runs and owns with Emir's father Kaya.

Efsun brings her best friend and trusty nurse, Binnur, with her and she is the only one who knows that Efsun is also a surgeon. Efsun eventually wants the clinic to not only treat the wealthy to their plastic surgeon needs, but treat those who really need it free of charge...like cleft palate repair, etc. She meets with resistance from some of the other clinicians at the clinic.

The series as a whole deals with some topics that I haven't seen dealt with in a Turkish show before...like adoption and alcoholism (Emir and his brother are both adopted and Efsun's father is an alcoholic).

There are some wonderful characters and actors in the supporting cast...Sarp, Kaya, Asli and Efsun's father to name a few. One of the things I really liked and hadn't really seen yet in a Turkish romantic comedy is that the two leads are equals...both doctors, both surgeons...one wasn't the boss of the other or wealthier or smarter than the other, they were equals and as such partners. It created a wonderful dynamic and ultimately a great romance.

I only really have two complaints and the first is pretty minor, at the beginning of the series during some of the comedic parts, Cemre who played Efsun did a bit of overly dramatic face-pulling that seemed really out of place in the series and for her professional character. That disappeared as the series went on...so really just a minor complaint from me. The only other complaint I have is the ending...it was very rushed and left some loose ends, I understand it was probably hard to wrap up the series so quickly once it was cancelled...but it seems weird that Emir wouldn't try to have their parents at a wedding. (I can't imagine his mother forgiving him!) As a fan of their romantic story I missed the actual "Evet!" and any kind of real kiss in the last episode.

Having said all of that, I think the leads and the story were very good and I strongly recommend this short run (14 episode) Turkish Romantic Comedy to all romantics and Turkish series fans (I know dramas are more popular in Turkey...but really, you should give this one a try). I for one will be looking for both Cemre and Burak in other series, they really were wonderful.

To be honest, it was good - not great but good, till they decided to go "chinese drama style" with this one.

So the main leads were in love, we know it, they know it and then the ex wife comes in, fakes a deadly illness and the FL just backs away. The ML NEVER showed any romatic interest in the ex wife but the FL backs away. The ML confesses his love for her but she backs away, because the ex wife begged her to.

This is so typical for chinese dramas....seen this plot twist hundreds of times already so I just rolled my eyes.

They already had enough drama in this one, the ex wife was not needed but whatever...dropped after that, did not need to watch the last episodes full of missunderstandings for a few happy minutes at the end.

Finally a feel good funny romcom for this summer! Hope it stays as good as episode 1 (so far only episode 1 released as I write this review). This series looks promising with Cemre Baysel acting well as a headstrong, no nonsense, smart female lead. Burak Celik plays the male character who is smart but flirtatious and slightly pompous. Both of them are doctors and will co-manage a big reputable clinic and are at odds with each other. The soundtrack is wonderful and catchy. Reminds me of the early episodes of Bay Yanlis - fast paced and entertaining. Hope this series continue to be good. Happy to give a rating of 8 for episode 1.

One of my fav Turkish tv shows ever ! 10/10.

It's fresh, with summer vibes, a good story line and lovely actors. The match between the 2 main actors it's insane they're perfect on screen!
