This is a compelling series, with an outstanding cast of main and supporting actors. No wasted lines, so you want to catch every word. The characters elicit all the emotions: love, joy, sadness, anger, grief. The music touches your soul.

The storyline is also compelling: Against family, religious, and cultural norms, a young man breaks all the rules and falls passionately in love with a beautiful older woman. The two main roles are played brilliantly by Selahattin Pasali and Gokce Bahadir.

The entire cast is amazing, but if I were to pick a favorite character, it would be Sukran, played by Gamze Karaduman. Just observe her facial expressions even when she is not speaking.

I do hope that they keep this series going without stretching it unnecessarily. It is my favorite series this season!
