    What makes this show different than rest Turkish dramas?!!

    So answering the main heading, story's worst plot.

    It is 2023, and you must be thinking that things with Turkish dramas have changed by now. But wait, this drama has gotten worst. Watched one back in 2018, after 30 episodes found it very dragged and so left, and now seeing it getting the hype thought that maybe it's 2hours episodes are worth the watch.

    But wait, now I can say that those able to watch it after 10 episodes either are critics or they need serious mental help.

    Let me summarize the main problems, Firstly the acting by main leads and almost everyone is quite natural and well-performed.

    But that's the only good thing about drama. Rest it involves repetitive scenes that make no sense, like Ferit and Seyran fighting over same points after some hours, they are almost always fighting. Story soon introduces you to the concept of this story, where intention is not to solve problems or deliver any good meaning to the audience, but just to keep up the spice and continue the exaggerated drama(that only makes the viewer bored and fed up)

    Mert and Afra have performed very well as main leads, so it feels bad to give this show 1 star, but other than acting, every thing else religiously deserves 1 star.

    Finally I can say for a show, "Watch at your own risk".

    Pray for Turkish woman

    I just hope that this is not a real picture of a modern Turkish woman. Being Beaten forced cheated locked controlled, suppressed. To the guy who writes this scenario. Are you normal? What are you trying to do? To present violence as a normal, romantic thing? Go check yourself.

    And who in their right mind lives with their in laws in the same house?

    Seriously? What a joke.

    The main characters. Also, a joke. The so-called golden boy? More like stupidity boy. No education no working skills, just yelling, and hiding behind his grandpa skirt. Fights, cheating, yelling. I mean, grow up. Sisters. Shows some self-respect. Stand up for yourself. If you are faisty, be faisty with everyone.

    ? Terrible. This show need to be stopped immediately.

    worst dizi

    I expected this series to be something I haven't seen before, but it's story is so repetitive and Yali Capkini is definitely overrated for no reason. Women beaten, abused, forced to marry a man whose parents were unable to educate him and make him behave normally. Ferit is one of the most toxic male characters I've ever seen: he's selfish, immature and a big cheater. He had a relationship with almost every woman in that series and yet this series tries to normalize this situation. Instead of being abandoned, the women stand around him as if they are desperate. And she is a naive girl who accepts all his nonsense. You have nothing good to learn from this dizi.

    Are we going backwards as a society?

    I thought patience would be enough to keep me watching, but this is too much. It's very repititive, regressive & degrading for women. It can't be a love story. I would've kept watching if the aim was to show how Seyran escapes these houses of abuse when all is done & said, but no. But it's romance? He gaslights her, abuses her & what not, but she just stays silent, falls in love & forgives? She says she won't let him trample up on her, but it's already 39th episode. It's like she has to stay with him because the screenwriters say so?? It's too traumatic, even for someone used to true crime!!!!

    Immature/Inconsistent/bipolar Ferit

    This series could be better. Ferit is bipolar. He wants everything and everybody wants to cover up all his inappropriate behavior. All his family members want to blame Seyran for his bad actions. His family did not educate him properly with the "honor and respect;" that his grandfather told about. They married him to Seyran and now, they pretend to Seyran to control him and make him behave appropriately. The Korhan for the public is an honorable family; however, inside the house the first person who is the most horrible is the grandfather. Poor Seyran doesn't deserve all the suffering she is experiencing. Ferit doesn't deserve her at all. Seyran is always with him and helps him through his bad situations. At the end, nobody apologizes to Seyran. I wish Seyran could strong/ accomplish all her goals and being successful women and have more fortune than the Korhan.

    All the Korhan's family secrets ( the affair, Ifakat and the grandfather) should be revealed. Also, Abidin shouldn't let Ferit to treat him the way he does. Abidin is his brother when he covers up his bad behaviors. Ferit believes everything Pelin says without questioning. Seyran should not stay with him. All the suffering, Seyran has to experience. She should have divorced Ferit and take Efe's contact using her single last name, finish university. On the process, if Ferit shows her he really changes and appreciates her; then, she thinks to forgive him.

    Kazim sold his daughters for money; however, when he has to defend them from the Korhan's accusations to Seyran.

    Ferit is the one who looks for trouble; the Korean blame to Seyran and Abidin. Ferit behaves that way because his family wanted to cover up all his un responsable actions. That's why he is not responsible. Poor Seyran suffers from Ferit, grandfather' sins and aunt Hatice' sins. The grandfather, Ifaka, Zerrin, Pelin; they all set up traps and nobody talks about it when the victims Seyran and Ferit overcomes the situation. The bad people continue their lives like nothing happened. I don't understand how the writer connects each episode. I wish Seyran to be happy.
