Gülcemal

It is a captivating story from the beginning, an excellent visual and acting quality. Perhaps the main actress Melis Sezen is not the one I would have chosen but I notice a lot of effort in her to be part of the project. I see her a bit forced in some scenes but it should be noted that she has very good chemistry with Gulcemal who is the one who holds the plot.

Murat Ünalmis is a high-quality, charismatic actor with a great track record. The story revolves around him but he is very well surrounded by other actors such as the one who plays his mother, Ayda Askel, brother-in-law Edip Tepeli, etc. I am counting the days to see the next chapter, I hope this series will be long-lived . I love these kinds of stories: they don't differ much from real life. Where there is passion, fury, love: all human feelings.

I actually really enjoyed this modern Turkish retelling of Beauty and The Beast. Murat Unalmis and Melis Sezen, as Gülcemal and Deva, had amazing chemistry and really made this hate to love series one to watch. The supporting cast was phenomenal and Avda Aksel as Zafer made a wonderful villain in this over-arching story of estranged mother and son. At times it was difficult to watch Zafer being so phenomenally evil...although it did make Gülcemal's wins that much greater. Shockingly, the series had lots of secrets and surprise twists that really kept you coming back for more. This was one 2023 series that I looked forward to every week and was disappointed when it was over. That leads me to the final episode, episode 13...for which I have mixed emotions. I really enjoyed the reunion, which was bittersweet knowing the series was over, but the bits with Zafer felt unbelievable. She was such an evil villain, I would have liked to see something a little more suiting to her big personality.

I was surprised that there was as much violence between the two main characters....stabbing, hitting, shooting, yelling. There are no holds barred in this hate to love.

As a romantic, I love the hate to love genre and I highly recommend this fairly short (13 episodes) Turkish series. Forced proximity and great banter are a signature of the series...but it really is all about Gülcemal and Deva. Romantics will be enthralled. I was inspired to buy the book My Sweet Orange Tree because of the references in this series, a book I had never heard of.

My review is based on watching the series in it's original Turkish language with English subtitles.

This was an extraordinarily plot. It's not only consist about love story. There's a lesson about inner child. How someone mentally affected by someone they loved most in live. U should watch this dizi. It beyond recommended... the plot was amazing and the actor delivers a masterpiece character in every episode. They develop every scene in every episode beautifully, once I tried this dizi will directly got into your live. The scenery, the ambiance, even the song was so amazing. Gulcemal was a bold character, compatible to deva the fierce lady. The supporting cast also build this dizi more perfect.

I am loving this series. I've got my friends hooked on to it too!

I love the chemistry between Deva & Gulcemal and I cannot wait to see them fall more and more in love with each other.

The story line is very unique. Not like your typical Turkish dramas.

The producers, the actors, the story writers really did a good job in this series. The plot twist is just so good and unexpected!
