Leyla: Hayat... Ask... Adalet...

In the beginning it was really a UNIQUE and lovely show but most things has Expiry Date and this one has got quite bad now just give us an ending i don't care make it a sad one if you must but make it fast cuz it really is getting worse and worse please don't embarrass your self's any longer. What kind of story tell is this geno is dying and his parents must give him a sibling as a sacrifice in that case he must be having a chance to live with the decease like 5 years maybe since the doctor is saying he needs a sibling and everyone is ploting on giving him one, NOOR : i know life is not fair and bad people mostly get what they want but the writing is geting worse now and it's not helping the characters and by saying characters (tufans sister , i forgot her name I'm not sure if it's her or the BAD WRIGHTING but the character has lost all the respect it used to have.

The start was amazing, I was immediately hooked. The story line may sound unrealistic but that happens to be the type of show I like. I love Cemre's acting, she is also beyond beautiful. All other actors deserve so much more acknowledgment, every facial expression and movement is on point and you can feel the tense in situations. Their acting is so amazing that you yourself, can feel every sadness, happiness, and anger. The start dragged a little and the flashbacks were annoying because I enjoyed seeing the older Leyla getting revenge. I personally, was very satisfied and if this series get's canceled I will be most disappointed then I have ever been.

This series ended at episode 34 or 35. If you've watched all those episodes, you've watched the "live telecast". If you're still watching after episode 35, it's like watching replays. This sort of BOOK 2 is a remake of the plot, same story different characters and perhaps some circumstances. They dismissed the previous family/characters - the family f Tufan which Nur deceived and played with for a whole 35 episodes. Now they put in new set of characters or a new family in a new house, that Nur is deceiving and playing with all over again. If you've watched upto episodes 35, you're done! Continuing so woud be boring and a waste of time.

The first and middle parts of the first season of the series are really, really good. Especially the episodes between 10 and 20 are truly excellent. It feels like each episode has the intensity of a "final" episode, and this is wonderfully integrated into the story. However, after episode 28, things really start to go downhill. By the time episode 30 rolls around, it becomes almost unwatchable.

This is what happens when a series doesn't wrap up with a proper ending. It gets filled with unnecessary scenes and irrelevant story elements. As you continue watching, you start to realize how ridiculous everything seems.

The actors are genuinely talented, and the director's ability to convey emotion in the scenes is quite successful. But as I mentioned, if the script isn't well-written, nothing else really matters.

In short, a series that starts off strong and pulls you in ends up completely ruining itself in the last few episodes.

Is it worth watching? Yes, but you might want to be selective.

Writers and directors of turkish series have the habit of making excellent TV shows and twice the bad habit of ruining the story right past the climax, in order to extend the series as per audience clamor or sponsors and advertisers requests.

This is what happened to Leyla series. Everything was good, almost all episodes past 10 have their own climax, slow unraveling of secrets and revelations and vengeance kept us audience on the edge of our seats, until it's almost the end. BUT, hey, they're not ready to pack up just yet, so the writers decided to divert the story into something the viewers, I'm sure, are not happy about, nor interested to see.

Hatice and her infidelity - we are not interested. Then we lost Serap, what happened to her? Then, the appearance of new characters which, for sure, comes along with their own lengthy stories to lengthen further the story and this series.

This series is ruined past episode 30. If you want to start watching it, you've been warned.
