This was the first Turkish drama I've watched on Netflix and I loved it. My spouse and I usually don't enjoy the same shows but we watched this one together and really enjoyed it. Would watch it again. My main complaints are the slow pace and the story line of Nisan's illness. But at least everyone seems to have gotten their happy ending. I've only watched one other Turkish drama so far, but I have to say I appreciate them for their lack of sex, bad language, and smoking. I also appreciate the reverent/religious element. Kis Gunesi/Winter Sun is especially good for this. I would have liked to have seen Efe kiss Nisan on the lips, especially when they married--Mete kissed Seda after all (do only cheaters kiss?)--but it's a small complaint. I highly recommend this show.

I have to say I have never sat and watched a show in another language and could not take my eyes off the screen.This show is so amazing to me. The writing and the story lines go above and beyond. The characters and the actors are so impressive. I had to come on here and give 2 thumbs up and 10 stars. I am so glad that it is not a short season 1. Thanks to the Directors, Producers and Writers. Actors and Actresses are so impressive. I do hope that you will continue with this show and keep up the excellent story line. I look forward to a season 2. Amazzzzzing!!

I accidentally found this serial in Netflix recommendation. I love watch serial and this is my first Turkish serial. I still watching this but with no doubt im really got into it. The cast is gorgeous and the story is really well writen. Good steps to explore more about Turkish serial.

Love this series. It was one of the first Turkish series with English subtitles I watched. And now I am hooked. Have watched several others on Netflix, U-tube, and Dailymotion. Have watched this series several times. Love the characters. Love the actors. Love the story. Love the music.

I think it is among the best tv series I have ever watched. Overwhelming music , all actors -leading and supporting -are amazing . It doesn't get a 10 because Seda 's story drags out a little bit more than necessary

I love this show and wish there was more. The acting alone is amazing. The story line of these two women and this man, epic! I wish there was more. I so enjoyed this that I watch it over and over again. The people in this show are so nice on my eyes. Sükrü Özyildiz, Asli Enver all I can say is I wish I could see more of your acting here in the United States. Tell the writer and the producer of your show that I said "Thank You"! I again have not seen anything this good here in the United States. It's my words and my opinion. Thanks for respecting those of us that don't wont the fowl language and having to see the body parts under your clothes. Thanks for not having to hear all the sloppy kissing that is so not needed if your story line is that good. Your story line was so good, none of it is needed or missed. Tell your writer and producer I said, "You definitely have what they don't have here in the United State, RESPECT"! Thanks again for such an awesome television show that I will never get tired of watching. Tell Basak Parlak, Nesrin Cavadzade, Gamze Süner Atay I said excellent, amazing acting. I couldn't tell it wasn't real.

Slow motion scenes, repetitive flashbacks would drive a person nuts. but overall, it is watchable. Women might enjoy since it is centered around a fashion industry business and Seda's attire is fabulous. Leading actor is quite a hunk. If you watched Intersection,2016 , (Kördügüm) TV series, you would notice that every character in Winter Sun as well as the story line itself were presented in Kördügüm , only in a different setting. Better acting by the lead character in Winter Sun.

This was the most enjoyable Netflix series we have ever watched.The acting was amazing.The characters became like family and we were sorry to see it end.Beautiful scenery ,beautiful clothes and shoes ,no sex ,no nudity ,very refreshing.Despite the subtitles ,listening to Turkish it felt as if we could understand every word.We will probably watch it again at some time in the future.

I did love this series. However I am confused that whilst Efe's real mother had an extramarital affair and was shown kissing her lover, the young modern Nisan and Efe are like two nuns in a convent. A bit of a stretch seeing them in the bedroom and not even a kiss on the lips..

The whole filmaking all the camera angle and how it was portrayed such an amazing show and i was stunned by its beauty of istanbul and i liked everyones acting yeah sometimes it gets cheesy but other than that its ok

One of the finest Turkish series I've ever seen. The dialogue, background scores, tremendous acting. Pretty intresting storyline And Nisan/efe, the perfect couple made it a must watch. In fact you can watch it again and again.

Omg, I don't know how to picturize to you my opinion on this one-in-a million film... The emotion Sukru the lead actor puts into his acting is beyond compare... He is an excellent dramatic actor and omg sooooo good looking... The actress who plays Nisan is so great and one can feel in the gut the emotion she wants to send the viewer.. The adoptive mother of Efe successfully imparts to the viewer the pain of a mother who has lost a child... But I say, the lead actor, Sukru has given a world class dramatic acting only seen in him. No one in Hollywood equals.More films Sukru, I am now a big fan.

This turkey Series took my breath away I wish they would have a season two I would love to see the happy couple just keep right on going they make me happy watching them together. It is just a story that was created by incredible writers and actors But, to find that kind of love in your life is rare. I enjoyed watching it It made me so happy when they finally were together. I love seeing how close The family was. This is also a rare thing in life. I would love a season two I would love to see the happy couple have their children and not have any troubles maybe some outside drama this time but I love seeing them together Efe & Nissan Excellent

This show was excellent. The two main characters, Effe/Mete and Nisan were amazing. I can always tell a great show because I miss the characters when the series ends. The only complaint I have about the Turkish series is that they portray the women as manipulative and conniving and the men to be clueless and easily talked into huge life decisions. There was very good character development and interesting story lines. I watched this series several times and will probably watch it again some day. Its very well directed and produced. Asli Enver that plays Nisan looks very much like the main female character in The Sci Fi channel series Haven.

It is difficult to post an accurate review because of language differences, and I suppose something has been lost in translation. It has an interesting plot, there are sub-plots, and and unexpected twists that add to interest. Nevertheless, there is a problem with the main characters. There is way too much standing around, looking off into space. And the Efe character is sometimes nearly uncommunicative. Moreover, the main characters sometimes seem to be talking past each other.

This is one of my favorite Turkish series so far. It begins with a well sustained plot of revenge and intrigue from the first episode that keeps you wanting to binge watch. All characters were well played. Nisan (Asli Enver), with her peculiar soft spoken voice and charming attitude made her a perfect protagonist for this series. Efe/Mete did well on his twin brothers interpretation. Probably the best one is Kadin, an antagonist that makes you both hate and love him at the same time.

There was right amount of drama, suspense, action and some comic parts as well. Overall really well written and it was not as long as other series. Great ending as well. Highly recommended!

I've watched this show 3 times already and can't get enough of it. I love the plot and the chemistry between Efe and Nisan. It is quite an emotional show with a happy ending. Sukru and Asli are amazing actors. I just wished more Turkish shows were translated in English, so I can watch some of Sukru's and Asli's other works.

Very good portrayal of love, friendship, relationships, bonding and struggles. Thank goodness I can understand native language as the translation does not do the series full justice. Actors and actresses are amazing.

The lead actor/actress have so much chemistry that you hope it is real. l watch their love scenes over and over again (dust to dust). It took me 4 nights straight to finish the series. They were perfect! l hope they become a real couple in the future and have kids. You can see their passion for each other in their eyes that is about to burst then it gets disrupted. It beats my Jodha Akbar favorite and Seyit e Sura. Also, l hope Fatma gets an award. l recommended this to my friends and familities.

Lovely imagery Love Netflix for letting the world seee other countries programming.

Even though I enjoyed the story, it shows Director's lack of knowledge when it comes to other countries and cultures, even the ones on his neighbourhood. The way Iran and Tehran was filmed was as if they are showing parts of Saudi Arabia in B.C time. Not sure if this was due to director's lack of knowledge or perhaps his contempt towards the neighbour country!!!!
