Annoying above average Turkish soap opera
Firstly I must confess I only made it to two episodes.
I found the two ( really really really good-looking) leads infuriating with their long dramatic pauses, conceited and rude characters insufferable.
Especially the female lead who spends half the time strip teasing and the other half treating almost everyone else with contempt and disdain just because she's somewhat attractive.
I really felt or sensed she wasn't acting and this was a glimpse of her real personality which is all too familiar nowadays.
The male lead was no better, swanning around taking an eternity to open his mouth-with the worst the grandfather.
Staring into space for three minutes is not tension building in a meaningful way it's just annoying.
I gave it six because the photography, sound and set locations are very good.
Ironically not devolving straight into mindless fantasy and CGI battles is probably a positive.
Perhaps I will finish it and change my mind but I doubt it.
