    Great main characters

    I loved all the main characters in the beginning and the love triangle story but as the story continues too many new characters pop up and then the main characters story becomes lost.

    Love all the main characters got annoyed by the pop characters that get so much screen time and sometimes more then the main characters.

    Such a disappointment the main characters and their screen time is lost!

    I continue watching in hopes of more main characters comebacks.

    Talking of how long was The Bald and the Beautiful?

    This series drags on forever, whenever something is solved they dig up problems from under the ground, just to make it last longer, I guess it is financially rewarding, can't blame them, but I couldn't keep on watching after all. The protagonist just cries, most of her life in the series and her performance relies on crying, poor thing lol I du no how much longer it will last, but for me it is more than I can take.

    Very good but....

    I could not wait for another episode! Now at number 119 I don't think I'm going to continue. The story is going in circles and became unnecessarily complicated. Leading characters disappeared struck suddenly by death! New one were introduced changing the whole atmosphere, too bad. Why not closing it, why continuing? I don't think I want to continue watching a dumb Zuleyha and the disappearing of Gulten and Sanye! Why Turkish actors are not bound to stricter rules when they sign up a contract?

    Was Too Repetitive

    So the first episodes of this TV show are probably the best , everything was perfect , i would say at about episode 20 the show began to lose its taste and interest , the events didn't change but it was getting too repetitive , sometimes just to give the viewers the feeling that something at least was happening , they would throw unnecessary screaming scenes even though they led to nothing . At one point i realized that the show freezed in one place , the story wasn't advancing , they would just fill the time with repetitive events and scenes . That was the rest of season 1 until its end where Yilmaz finally learned something important . Season 2 Began and new events finally happened , but again , every event takes up to 4 episodes . Too much stretching and filler scenes , that was the summary of season 2 . Season 3 though , is very disastrous , it begins with same unnecessary stretched scenes , until so a very important person dies , and from episode 71 , the series officially lost its intrigue and logique , the entire story changed and now the story is going nowhere ...And worst of all , they are making a 4th season . Sooo ... You can watch it , but its going to be a long journey full of misfortune , crying , screaming , and misery .

    Awful storyline

    The story line is awful, the writer must have considered that the viewers iq is at least 80. No reasonable reactions is considered for the characters and the things happened.
