Gelin

I have never written a review for a series until today. I do not know what the screenwriters think about the audience. The writing especially for season 2 is very insulting to the audience. Season 1 was slow but better because we got to see the couple happy and together but season 2 has been a total chaos. The ex wife becomes the female lead and gets away with everything and the female lead and male lead becomes weak characters that cannot stand up for themselves. I feel so bad for the actors and I hope they get to feature in better projects where their talents would be recognized well. Gelin is a total mess, the series should be CANCELED!!

Hanca and Cihan are a gorgeous couple. Toxic relationship. Why wasn't a surrogate used since that's what happened with this request?

Some of the series I have seen so far show evil sides and intrigue from the opposition. Sometimes the evil treatment is so devastating, i cannot continue to watch. Beyaz and Cihans mother plotted against Hanca although their attempts failed. I'd like to know if Beyaz was treated like Hanca by Cihan. Why do the men in some of the series along with their mothers accuse the women of I'll behavior without asking. Some of the remarks made by Cihan to Hanca were so demeaning. Hanca was innocent and pure and only wanted to help her brother.

While I love this storyline. It can be misconstrued as denergrating of women who are asked, as it this case, to marry and have a child, by a rich family when the woman proposes conditions. It was unusual but Cihan could have said no or he changed his mind. I truly disliked Hancas greedy sister in law. She made Hanca look cheap when she was the negotiator.

Furthermore, I do not perceive Hanca's "condition" as ill repute. There was no sex involved. Therefore, if I had the choices she had with entering into an arranged marriage as a surrogate without benefits, only abuse or agreeing to an arranged surrogate marriage with a one-million dollar benefit to save her brother, the latter would have been my choice. Why did Beyaz allow Cihans mother to convince her to divorce when all they needed to do was pay a surrogate? I am patiently waiting for season 2 when it's revealed that Beyaz could in fact conceive but chose to have an abortion because she was going to have a girl and did not want a girl. Her friend previously threaded Beyaz with a picture of the ultrasound she had. The intrigue continues.

Is there at least a happy ending to this series?

I watched all of the 237 episodes and felt sorry for myself. Very slow moving and too long. Full of flashbacks and day time dreaming (some of these flashbacks are almost one minute long). Dull and poor acting for ML and FL, they spend most of the time looking at each other. Primitive and incoherent direction. The story is good but unfortunately was not presented well. I wish I could give it zero rating. Please AVOID. Waste of time.

I'm not surprised at the storyline, honestly most of these series adopt the same storyline if not more dramatic. I spent time fast forwarding through both episodes (1 and 2) cause I couldn't bring myself to actually sit for a whole 1 hour and a half cringing at the acting. I mean come on now, what on earth????!!!!! To top it off the long silent stares between characters, and glancing into the distance for what feels like 5 mins.

I can't watch this , spending almost 3 hours watching a series that's really not doing justice for that cast. The scriptwriters could do better than this series... bored.

This series is unbelievable .It portrays Turkish people as dim, stupid and even evil! So many loose ends, the doctors death left many clues not followed up, the baby snatching with no health follow ups and Hancer and Melih with their dim witted characters".......unbelievable!

Don't watch this.....it's a total waste of time. The poor actors that no directors will be chasing to employ

The pace of the series is so slow with 25% flashbacks in each episode so ALL viewers fast forward in every episode. Viewers don't need to see flashbacks if they are hooked on the series

I stopped watching at episode 92 as storyline was beyond belief but just checked and it stopped at episode 128......no surprise there.
