    Ok to watch

    My three favourite actors are in this drama. I am a fan of Asli Enver, Birce Akalay and Halit Ergenc. Scenario is ok but too much repeat, the tempo is facing time to time. I did not like the decision to change actor who plays Egemen. Because he was really good. Anyway, another watchable TV drama nowadays.

    Kamal

    No one can beat Halit in acting. Excellence is expected from Ay Yapim. Its last episode is not available on paid websites as well. Want to know if 2nd season would come.

    The Ep 1 was exellent

    I was impressed by the series and by writing its own script It turns out from the first episode that it will be an excellent series if it continues in the same context of its excellence, especially if the director reduces the number of drama scenes

    FANTASTIC SERIES FOCUSING ON THE STRUGGLE OF A FATHER!

    The story line of the drama is fabulous, by far the greatest achievement of the drama is the suspense and the remarkable presentation of how cruel this world can get and in fact money is the actual root to all disasters. This drama also teaches how many sacrifices can one make for those they love.

    Perfect series but...

    One of the best serieses I've ever watched. Halit's acting is amazing. The only defect (in my viewpoint at least) is the changing of Egemen actor in the final episodes that compromised my emotional relationship with the previous Egemen for the following one or two episodes till I reaccustomed to him.
