I cannot express into words the love I have for Serenay Sarikaya and her talent, her performance is so natural and genuine. She makes others shine because she illuminates them with her own light. She is not a selfish actress, she let others take their own light. You can see the camaraderie of the casts. It feels like they are all really friends. As to the series, it os definitely worth watching. Everything Serenay touch turns into gold like they said. This is one good project for her. After being Duru Durulay in FiCiPi, shasu in Shahmaran and Devin in Aile, Avukat Leyla Taylan is such light character that I am sure she enjoyed portraying.

This is a fairly dumb romantic drama about Leyla, a 30yo lawyer who works for her uncle's firm, and who is torn between different men. Her friends are also her coworkers and everyone' lives revolve around her life's dramatic episodes. She is mostly portrayed getting sad/angry-drunk and bouncing between two main suitors. One of the suitors is a long-term partner and the other is someone she barely knows (and he barely knows her).

A flash forward device is used to preface the story at the beginning of each chapter/episode. The structure and writing is very much like a contemporary telenovela. I mainly watched this because it is set in Turkey and I was nostalgic for a past trip that I took there., and not because of the story.

Okay..just finished #KimlerGeldiKimlerGeçti..a super light, feel good, romantic comedy with a slight drama. If you just want to feel good and de-stress yourself, this is definitely your TVSeries. A little giddiness but in the end, you will root for Leyla to just stay single & leave men behind. Leyla Taylan made me believe that my decision to stay single forever was definitely a yes!!!!!! Leyla Taylan also gave me an idea to have a dog by now. I love her so much and Badi.. Turkish shows are like fashion shows, I love all their stylings, especially Avukat Leyla, very classy, sophisticated and just womanly. Sporty Leyla too.

It's about relationships and human nature.. I can't say it's a special one though.. acting performances are mediocre and scenery is good.. most scenes was predictable but few moments.. Headliner performance is good considering she has her unique style, i believe it's a good match for the character.. filming is also mediocre because there were too many repetetive scenes and repetetive songs.. i don't know why but they play that one song at each party theme. Considering i don't really like that song that it might be pushed me to think that it's boring.. ending was too short for a great finale considering all preparations ,even from the beginning of the show started with the scene from ending, was arranged for it. Anyway it was entertaining.

This was my first time watching a Turkish show and I binged the entire season in a few days. At first it seems like it's a set up for a cliche enemies-to-lovers romance but this show really surprised me with its depth and nuanced storyline. I found the main character, Leyla, extremely relatable and loved her. Her friend group and co-workers were also relatable for the age group of the characters as were the ups and downs of her relationship with her ex. I'm looking forward to season 2 and watching Leyla become an even stronger and independent woman in her thirties. And hopefully a lot more of Cem too ;) I'm surprised by the low ratings on IMBD but it's doing well on Netflix for a reason. As an American viewer I thoroughly enjoyed this show and highly recommend it!
