Hey everyone (Emsu shippers, flippers, critics, solos—all of you)! First time posting here.

So yesterday, Emin posted a video of Ilsu blowing a flying kiss, a video of them lying on a hospital bed together, and a photo featuring Ilsu, himself, and Aleyna.

Then today, Ilsu liked a romantic edit featuring off-screen Emsu clips with the caption and song, 'I wanna be your lover, I don't wanna be your friend. Would you love me again.'

After months of a total drought, all this positivity, off-screen shipping, and happiness has my paranoid ass struggling to digest it. It feels like the calm before a massive storm. I'm high-key a ​skeptic person with trust issues.

Which of these possibilities do you think is the most plausible?

* Option 1: They're both single again, which is why they're fine with off-screen shipping. Emin wants to erase the Emkim thing, and Ilsu wants to erase the Kansu thing.

* Option 2: They're soft-launching and have actually been dating for the past year, or they recently started dating.

* Option 3: Sevda isn't getting the viewership and membership numbers they expected, so the network pressured Emsu into this, and it's pure PR.

* Option 4: They're just feeling grateful and showing appreciation because fans helped them win the Netizen Choice Awards.

* Option 5: It's strictly PR, PR, PR.

I know this sub is specifically for emsu but i just wanted to get this out of my chest😭

I love aleyna she seems like such a sweetheart and a fun person in general but idk why she gives off this performative energy.

now i know that this industry is all about being performative at the end but the thing is that i don’t get that energy from cagri, emin, ilsu or ilay etc. even though they are also being performative to some extent.

I don’t know if it’s just me who gets this vibe from her or if there are other people too. if you also get the same vibe please let me know.

with that being said i absolutely hate how some people throw shade on her just because her character is annoying like dude throw shade on the writers and sevda😭 she is just an actor doing her job. you can criticise her acting skills for sure but hating her because of the character she plays in the drama is just straight up dumb.

The show is getting unnecessarily repetitive and it's exhausting to watch now... Every week every episode is the mixture of the same 3-4 scenes per plot line... It's very disappointing considering the fact that they have built up such strong characters that they could have added so much more to the show, yet all it is now is just random scenes which don't make any contribution towards the plot.... Talk about wasted potential smh

Right now all we get is mercan crying, unnecessary mertes acting like children (like that's literally all their scenes at this point 1-either mercan crying and ates comforting her or ates angry and mercan calming him down and 2- them playing children games) , and all the cemet scenes we've gotten so far is mostly them arguing for no reason??? WHY ISN'T DEMET TELLING CEMAL THE WHOLE STORY?? Every scene they keep on arguing only... At first it was cute but now it's annoying... And even in the kitchen staff like if I see burak and cicek together I will literally stop watching the show... It will be the last level of my patience... Why did Malik have to leave? Did virat have some other commitments or what?

There are so many dynamics the makers can explore... Cemal-eylul, ates-demet, mercan-cemal, demet-hazar, cemal-ates-eylul being a sibling trio and what not and so many more too like idk maybe yasar-berat, abdo-cemal etc..... Currently the show is running on three parallel stories who are completely disconnected with each other and somehow the makers are ruining all three storylines.... What I would love from the show is a little connectivity of all the different people from time to time, not just random phone calls from ates to cemal, or random scenes between the kitchen staff and mertes... Some more slice of life things.. You know like natural mixing of the three worlds.. From season 1 it turns out that Tahir knew Berat and cicek too from his childhood yet we never ever get any scenes of them...

I really thought that when ates and mercan went on their honeymoon and ates told eylul that cemals here he'll help her look for her family that maybe we would get some scenes of cemal and eylul bonding over the fact that they're completely alone in the world.... Or maybe that after nezirs death ates would sympathize with demet and offer support, or if not that I was definitely shocked by the lack of support mercan has been giving demet... At this point I don't even feel that mercan and demet are friends anymore...

There are so many plot lines which we can explore too like first the obvious mysteries which we don't know hazars full background, demets fiance, cemals background- how he met ates and how muzeyan adopted him and who are his actual parents, but no, here u go guys, learn about yasars fiance first because that's what is the most important right now....

The makers are unnecessarily prolonging each plot line for no reason when they could easily end one plot and explore the other new ones.... Why are the cresting this random misunderstanding between cemet? WHERE DID DEMETS FIANCE COME FROM? Why did they make Malik leave? Just get them married and find a new plot for them please. Even like why do they keep hinting at the fact that zehra might loose the baby? Let her have the baby and THINK what to do with the plot after that

Right now they're just creating problems in everything for no reason and it's so annoying because they have so much potential to use. Even with mertes. The scenes in season 2 are absolutely unbearable. All the cliche stuff. Blech. Mercan and ates are already established as two powerful individuals, and seeing them so spineless with each other is really ruining their power couple dynamic. They're both strong, independent, they don't always have to act like children around each other. Explore some more ideas for them. Maybe let them come to the office every once in a while and show their professional side. What do they even do at home all day every day? They havent worked a day in their lives since ates confessed his love for her. Show their powerful professional dynamic too.

I'm not hating I'm just annoyed at the extremely poor and inconsistent writing and character plots and the wasted potential.... I watched arafta because of mercans strength in season 1 but now all she does is cry... Truly... Sorry to say it but it's true.... They've turned the powerful dynamic of ates and mercan to a weird dominant husband-submissive wife thing....i literally cannot watch any scenes of mertes in season 2...the dialogues are so incredibly cringe worthy like who's coming up with this stuff??? They are both grown adults. Ates should learn to get a grip on his emotions and mercan should learn how to not cry at everything. Right now it literally feels like they are each others parents rather than a healthy relationship dynamic. Ates is the father mercan never had and mercan is the mother ates never had. Truly I'm sorry to say this and I know I'll get hated for it but that's truly their dynamic right now. They're not a healthy couple at all. One person is always acting like a child. And what the heck is mercan still recoiling from affection ?? All scenes they're copying from season 1 directly and just labelling it as season 2...the red dress, the bathroom fight, the mercan not wanting to kiss and what not... Those were iconic things from season 1-theyre done they're in the past now focus on better writing and create new iconic things for season 2!!!!

They're married now... I would love to see some more NEW domestic scenes like them cooking together or whatnot, we got more scenes like that in season 1 than we're getting now lol

Pls god I hope the upcoming episodes are not as disappointing as ep 9-10 and have a little tiny bit of plot in them... Just a tiny bit... Just a little....

In summary I just want the show to have something NEW not old stuff from season 1

I saw a video of Emin kissing Ilsu on the head in such a comforting, affectionate way, and honestly, it made me really happy to see the bond they seem to share. I genuinely don’t know whether they’re dating or not. But what matters is that they clearly seem comfortable around each other and have built a really beautiful friendship and bond.

We’ve all seen shows where the leads have amazing chemistry on screen but barely get along off screen, so when fans get to see two co-stars who genuinely seem comfortable, supportive, and affectionate with each other, that’s something worth appreciating. It makes the whole experience even more special for fans.

I just wish people would appreciate these moments for what they are instead of immediately turning every interaction into speculation about their relationship status. Not every hug, kiss, touch, or moment of comfort needs to be investigated or decoded. Sometimes two people can simply care about each other deeply, whether that’s friendship, love, or something only they understand.

Fans can enjoy their chemistry and the beautiful bond they share without feeling entitled to know what happens in their private lives. Honestly, respecting that boundary makes supporting them even more meaningful. Let them have a relationship that belongs to them, while we appreciate the happiness and comfort they bring to each other on screen and off screen. ❤️

Idk if this is me just but there is something missing in mertes scenes.. there is no spark everything feels too forced to me this whole ep bickering it feels like their scenes are added as fillers for audience.. total disappointment

Cagri has unfollowed emin too i think in last 2-3 days so there is no S3 probably which is good

Does leads not promoting openly have anything to do with their contracts with PH? I read somewhere on x that both emin and ilsu got a new contracts for S2 in which they asked special conditions to promote the show.. i think PH didn’t agree to those because they are broke af ( or pretend to do so) so they are not doing anything openly because there is no other reason for this radio silence

Is it me or anyone else feels like this too? She copies her poses and now songs too.. Also she is too over-promoting herself and the show.. come on even leads didn’t put up these much posts and stories (except weekly reminders which they stopped and kinda miss it)

Some of her fans asked her to clear the rumours about Kaan & they themselves think that it's all fake & she removed her own fans lol. This is what happens when someone gets instant fame & success. Hopefully, her fans will finally realise that she isn’t the person they think she is & that's what your worth is according to your so caled idols. The solo stans will keep hyping celebrities’ egos 24/7, but the moment those celebrities are held accountable, they’ll either block you or turn the blame back on you. In the end, you’re left defending someone who wouldn’t even hesitate to throw you under the bus 🤭
