Istanbul My Love

I was surprised by the quality of the scenario and the directing you cant expect much from a tourism ad right?

But it served its goal and more the scenery of istanbul and naming the actress afra istanbul is genius she surely is beautiful as much as her if not more and the big star engin is as charismatic as ever i loved their chemistry and they look together on the screen.

Istanbul, My Love" is more than a film - it's an emotional journey through the soul of a city and the heart of a woman.

Afra Saracoglu delivers a mesmerizing performance that feels raw, elegant, and deeply human. She doesn't just act - she becomes Istanbul itself: layered, nostalgic, and beautifully complex.

The cinematography is stunning, capturing Istanbul in all its golden light and hidden corners. The music, the silence, the rhythm of the city - everything breathes like poetry.

This is a rare film that lingers in your mind long after it ends. A tribute to identity, belonging, and love in all its forms."*

Afra Saracoglu's performance is nothing short of comprehensive, showcasing her exceptional vocal abilities, captivating gaze, and impeccable acting prowess. The character of Istanbul was fortunate to have Saracoglu embody her, and the entire narrative is refreshingly engaging and visually appealing. The collaboration between the actors and the writer is a remarkable. Great & fantastic work!

I loved Istanbulmylove so much even if it was just a short miniseries every episode around 2 to 4 minutes it felt so special Afra was amazing as always her presence makes every scene shine and she brought so much warmth and emotion the beautiful spots of Istanbul made it even more magical and Engin was also great together they created something simple but very touching I honestly wish it had more episodes because it was that lovely.

I had high expectations for Istanbul, My Love, but Afra managed to go far beyond them. Her performance was honest and powerful, filled with subtle details that gave life to her character. The way she carried each scene with elegance and conviction made the story truly memorable. She showed an artistic growth that is inspiring and exciting to witness. Afra has proven once more that she is not only talented but also fearless in exploring new challenges in her career.
