What happened to the good rich-girl trope in Turkish series? Why are they all suddenly so soft and naive? Yes, I'm talking about Leyla and Naz. Everything is starting to feel so forced, like writers have forgotten how to write a genuinely interesting rich girl. Miss the rich girls who were spoiled, ambitious, smart, a little bitchy and actually had their own plot outside of some man. They didn't have to be evil, but at least give them some personality and agency. Now it's just "I love him be why doesn't he love me "boo ho GIRL STAND UP.

I need to talk about what’s happening with the narrative this season, especially regarding Elif.

Instead of giving us the development of love, peace, and emotional depth we were all hoping for, the writers are practically pushing Elif to look like a bad person. It feels like the plot is completely losing its direction and original charm.

What bothers me the most is all the hatred and anger directed at her brother Atesh. Look, the hatred towards Mercan because of her father is understandable, but why Atesh? Why target him with so much resentment when he shouldn't be taking the blame?

It feels like forced drama just to drag out the story, and the core authenticity of the show is fading away.

How are you all feeling about her transition and this whole hostility toward Atesh this season? Can the writers still save the storyline? Let’s discuss!

I am a 30+ years old guy from Romania and I just binge-watched Kara Sevda a few months ago. It was the first turkish “dizi” i watched. I was super invested in the story and the characters and i was literally acting like my mother/grandmother used to when i was little and they were watching shows like this - i was furious, happy, cursing characters like Emir or Asu, i kept my “fingers crossed” for Kemal and Nihan etc.

Now, after watching it, i sometimes listen to turkish music (especially the sad one or music from Kara Sevda - Korkuyorum is one of my fav songs) and still think about and feel sad for Kemal and Nihan and it makes me emotional when i think about their story and all they’ve been through.

Kara Sevda really is a wonderful show, with wonderful friendships like the ones between Kemal and Salih, Zehir or Ayhan … for me it is not just a show.

Does this happen to anyone else? To still feel the sadness after some time?

What was the reason behind Dila getting close to—and allying with—Bora against Kuzgun in Season 1?

What was the reason for Dila divorcing Kuzgun, getting engaged to Ferman, and turning against Kuzgun in Season 2?

Weren't both of them Kuzgun's enemies—seeking to eliminate him by killing or imprisoning him—and didn't Dila know that? Or am I mistaken? Isn't she supposed to love Kuzgun?

Damn! I really addicted to yali capkini.everyday I am watching this show apart from this show i don't want watch any other show.Is there anyone like me or am I only one????

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

the other day I came across a funny reel of a character from a Turkish dizi who translates everything he says into English.

He had a dialogue going “my mother yani annem” and “unbelievable yani inanmıyorum”

I’m going crazy trying to find the name of that show, would appreciate if anyone has any guesses

ok i am not watching since there is no episodes on yt and the series are not that interesting i liked alina and melek so i check the highlights, what the hell was those scenes i am struggling those are not teenagers why are they acting so annoyingly and for god sake can't these couples have romantic scenes alone do they have to be on triple dates.

and in the match scene naz said she does not know anything but isn't she manager or something on that club that is why they go to trips and events i don't get it you can't have it both ways

I was wondering in retrospect which series is more popular specifically in Turkey, not internationally: Kiraz Mevsimi or Dolunay??

Both romantic comedies which came out around the mid-2010s, and both starring Ozge Gurel.

But i wonder which one is the more popular one in retrospect or the one with more staying power, always in the context of dizis.

I always felt that Kiraz is the one with more "heart" and "sincerity" and "purity" regarding the story, the characters the emotions, and the friendships in the core group, but i may be wrong.

I feel like Dolunay's following has more to do with Can Yaman's international stardom acquired after Erkenci Kus rather than anything else.

But once again, maybe it's just me.

Anyway, anyone in Turkey can answer in the comment section down below, thank you.

I loved kara para aşk like crazyyy and I want to watch something just as dramatic if not more. Any suggestions?

Edit: Also, where do you watch turkish series from (i used to have a friend who would download it for me)

Have you guys watched that show?

This show is so shit. They have

completed created their own storyline. They have made Gülbahar hatun(the true love of Sultan Mehmed II ) as some desperate character, hyping fictional love & character of sena çakır ( it disgusts me) & WORST OF ALL...

They made Mehmet sultan almost execute his own son which never happened in history????? I am sorry wtf i am raging. How are people okay with this? Its history not romcoms drama that you change storyline.

The worst character there is Gülşah... I don't even know why they're favouring her that much omg...

I want to know how turkish audiences view Emin Günenç and İlsu Demirci as actors. I’ve watched Arafta and a few other turkish series and personally I sometimes feel their acting is quite similar from scene to scene so I don’t fully understand the huge amount of praise they receive from the international fandom. Is their acting actually considered good by turkish viewers or is most of the appreciation coming from the international audience is for their chemistry?

Hype was insane in pakistan india Bangladesh & Philippines

Leave arley they are too cringe. I have not been able to watch them after cruise scene. Bro like do you like each other or not, can be together now or not. It's to repetitive. Just become normal friends. And how did they fall for each other what factor? Deniz liked that aras was someone who stood up for what he believed. Baris is just childhood first love trope. Teo finds deniz unwavering friendship desirable as he has no one. Kutay just likes the princess he grew up watching. Leyla liked the new interesting, mysterious boy. Sila just wants stability unlike her parents. What the hell Aras found intriguing about leyla. She doesn't even have a loving family for aras to feel Oh i would be wanna part of it, leyla sees sila bullying deniz and is still friends with her, not even her fault her choise her world but how does Aras found her charector so loving when she has only ever been nice to just Aras and literally no one else.

The writers should focus on sila trope tobe honest, her take on teo, her friendships,

Evern, boy you must be of some importance no?

Teos charector development,

Just enough with hakkan bullying without any reprocussions.

Aras being closer to finding demir.

Aras caring for deniz more not love but care, and deniz slowly not instantly realzining what she has for aras is admiration and love is yet to come

So Yılgaz and İclal are talking inside the interrogation room while Ceylin is watching from outside. Out of curiosity, anybody with even minimal intelligence would know that an interrogation room would be the last place to discuss personal stuff. But apparently, the most brilliant prosecutor in Istanbul didn't know that.? 😂😂😂

Loved Kader till episode 8, then he pisses me off by insulting and degrading Defne for a mistake she made (she deserved to be told off but not humiliated). Anyways, gets into an accident and now the storyline is to make her look stupid by thinking he was her husband.

Out of all the dumb shit I’ve seen in Turkish tv series for the last 12 years, this one is at the top.

DEFNE is a fully qualified lawyer, was not married to Kader at any point but now she’s lost her memory and is married to him. WTAF 🤦‍♀️.

To make Kader look good, you decided to make Defne this lost puppy chasing and obsessing over the man SHE LEFT.

Anyways I’m out. Too old to be watching grown adults act like teenagers.
