    Great beginner!

    I liked the beginning of "Esref Ruya". There are quite a few storylines that could develop.

    I really like the way the narrator works.

    He is the one who knows everything about Eshref, his thoughts, motives, knows about events that he was not even a direct witness to. This gives a lot of freedom in the storytelling because it allows us to learn things that would otherwise remain hidden.

    Excellent cinematography!

    Characters like Esref have some inexplicable appeal-not just because they look strong, but because they exude control, mystery, and self-assurance.

    And Cagatay Ulusoy is perfect for this role of a mysterious, domineering man who seems to hold the fate of others in his hands, but cannot control his own.

    I hope it continues in the same style. Let's listen to the person telling the story because it adds an emotional layer to the story.

    He can make observations and comments that make us look at things from a different perspective.

    This series is perfection

    Esref Rüya is a masterpiece and masterful blend of intense drama, deep emotions, and gripping storytelling, capturing the essence of love, ambition, and the struggle between fate and choice. With its stellar cast, breathtaking cinematography, and the plot is on point, it stands as a testament to the brilliance of Turkish television. The chemistry between Çagatay Ulusoy and Demet Özdemir is electrifying, and breath taking. From its richly developed characters to its hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. I can't get it out of my mind I'm obsessed .This series is perfection I highly recommend you to watch it.

    Demet,talent,carisma✨

    It is a pleasure to follow Demet Özdemir's projects. Each of her characters is different, never the same, this time in the role of a singer, a cheerful woman with a child's soul who tries to achieve her ideals. The character is perfect for Demet, they are similar, she is a person with a special soul beauty. Demet's acting is remarkable, she easily switches from comedy to drama, now we smile at her lines, then, in a few minutes we feel her feelings, fear, despair, pain.. Nisan wakes up between two evils, a policewoman obsessed with an unrequited love, who uses it to take revenge and the mafia world, where she meets Esref, who is looking for his lost love from childhood. We witness an impressive love story, reminiscent of the Hollywood atmosphere of the 60s, the cast, direction, script, music, decor, filming, are of quality. The series is worth watching, a thriller, about human relationships, love, loyalty, betrayal,

    Esref Rüya

    Amazing direction with beautiful exterior shots. The actors have entered their roles 100%. The series combines drama, humor, strong scenes and strong performances that were evident from the first episode. I can't wait for the next episodes.

    Cagatay Ulusoy has managed from the first shot to give meaning and depth to the character he plays. His gaze is captivating. It seems that he has worked hard for the role.

    Demet Özdemir already has very strong (interpretative) scenes and I admit that it captivated me. It convinced me from the first episode.

    The screenwriter has done an excellent job as all the characters are very well written.
