Love 101

One thing i know for sure: this show hits different when you actually live with trauma.any kind of trauma. IT BREAKS YOUR HEART. it revolves around a lot of topics and issues such as self love, childhood trauma, abandonment issues. It s kind of a old school drama if you wach it straight in the face, but if you feel things at a deeper level, you'll understand sooooooo much more.

I had no expectations going into this drama, and was pleasantly surprised. What looked like a simple romantic comedy from the synopsis, turned out to be a good example of a coming-of-age story, like a more feel-good Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The characters were not particularly likable, some of their actions were questionable, some of their morals seemed twisted and till the end they show no remorse for their wrongdoings. However, like Burcu teacher said, each of them is a different world. They all have their own struggles, and in the end they just wanna stay true to themselves and to each other. They fight together against the hypocrite world. The show very nicely depicted that teenage feeling that you can be anything, do anything, and the whole world is at your feet.

Some other things that I enjoyed a lot was the love line between the teacher and the coach, it was exciting to watch how their relationship blossomed, orchestrated by the kids. No matter how their actions may have seemed manipulative, it was the teachers that made all decisions for themselves in the end.

Finally, the shining star of the show is Mert Yazicioglu, who portrayed Sinan. His eyes could speak louder than words, he really stole every scene he was in.

All the yummy Turkish food in each episode was a great bonus, made my mouth water for sure.

As a Turkish person who was born in the 90s, I listened to the songs I used to listen everyday when I was a teenager. Whoever chose the soundtrack is a wizard.

Okay. It's 5 in the morning, and I just finished watching Love 101. Let me tell you: I am completely blown away. At first I was skeptical, since every Turkish TV show is known to be a complete disaster and a big old cliche. I expected nothing more than a mediocre love story and some very dramatic scenes that make you cringe. Oh boy was I wrong. This show is the epitome of an emotional roller coaster. This show portrays a story about friendship, love, self-acceptance, change, rebellion, defying standards, life, pain, true happiness and sorrow, all in one, that simply takes your breath away. At one moment you're laughing out loud and the next moment your eyes are filling up with tears. It is genuinely funny and heartwarming, and at the same time extremely melancholic. It is also very clever, amazing writing, and manages to stay quite original. The cast is just perfect; the way they manage to bring this beautiful story to life is simply fascinating. A bonus are some stunning shots of one of the most beautiful cities in the world- Istanbul. This show is definitely worth your time, and you won't regret watching it. To summarize, I can say that this show is a Turkish masterpiece. They've officially outdone themselves. Now if you'll excuse me... I'm going to sleep. And thank you, to the creators, to the cast and everyone involved. This show is a nothing less than a blessing.

I watch a lot of tv shows, a ridiculous amount. But this was perfect in every way, I didn't want it to end. You can feel the love that the characters have for each other. They make you laugh, they make you cry, you become invested in their lives, but mystery still exists. The messages in the show are so simple yet so beautiful; "Accept yourself, and recognise your own worth. Don't care too much about what people think of you, only you know who you really are. You're the only you. You're worthy of love. Please don't forget that."

This is my first Turkish show that I've seen on netflix & would highly recommend. Looking forward to a second season.
