    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".

    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.

    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.

    Getting Worse each episode but if you like soap it's ok

    Totally ok to watch when you have nothing else to watch or just have it on the background while you clean up your house but wow the episodes just keep getting worse and worse! Who idiot of a film director or writer thinks that it is based on true story? Yes, maybe it's true that people drink coffee or go to clubs. And what happens to these two others who have already given a rating to the series as soon as episode 1 came out? Monkeys. Feels like the only ones we're watching are two bipolar idiots who don't understand and the families are so full of drama, the father above reacts, the mother below reacts, I don't understand a damn thing, but as I said, those who like soap, go for it! Im dropping my rating down to 2 and good luck with the next episodes.

    I don't know what the writer is thinking writing this garbage

    First of all let me say if you wanna watch it for the 'based on true story thing ' you're just wasting your time , the writer kicked off the main story and decided to form a whole new one which is contradicting the previous facts .

    I started this series because of Afra and çetin tekindor , the story's description drew me in further too . But unfortunately this drama isn't really worth watching .

    The reason why it started well is because the script was changed multiple times in order to fit cagatay ulusoy since he wasn't impressed by the scenario before he turned down the offer , which gave it an interesting premise , then it went straight to the dustbin .

    This show is a rollercoaster but not in a good sense , it went from a drama dizi to a fantasy lala land to a mafia series , every single episode feels like it's from a completely different show , dropped storylines, forgotten plot points , so many plot holes that even if you try to fill it you will continue to sink , the action scenes are so unrealistic that's just become ridiculous , unnecessary comedy , repititive tiring dialogues that caused a headache , a bunch of crazy men persecuting doormat women in humiliation feast , new characters being added when there are already characters that need more focus and screen time .

    The ML is a stubborn 10 years old nd the most useless character sigh , he has nothing to do than being jobless nd living off his grandfather's money , chasing women nd cheating on his wife all the time .

    The FL is also sickening to watch , she has no dignity , the ML asked her ex about her virg@nity , forbade her to study , cheating on her and all of a sudden , she realized how much she loves him .

    The side characters are neglected , the story is only revolving about ML & FL fights , and the obsession of the ML with the Mistress , this is all what you gonna watch in the whole 2 hours of each episode .

    The show is carried mostly by the FL's violent father with his impeccable acting skills .

    I don't know what the writer is smoking but it seems like he's copying a bunch of stories off of Wattpad .

    Such a waste of good talented actors.
