Yali Çapkini (2022)
Infidelity, toxic relationships, forced marriage
Where to begin....?
First of all, if it was just one of the terms mentioned in my headline, my rating would probably be better.
Second, if this wasn´t a romace, my rating would be 10, because this drama really portrays "the dark side" of relationships.
Let´s start with the infidelity.
Not only is the ML cheating on his wife (FL) till now (episode 17 of 18), no, practically everyone is cheating on everyone with everyone.
So this is a romance, where ML and FL are forced to marry and I thought, that it would be heading towards a love story between those two.... WRONG!
The ML has a girlfriend right from the start - and many more girls as a side dish. Then he marries the FL, that does not know anything about that. On the wedding night, he takes his wife to his girlfriend. Nice. At least he is honest at the start.
The point is, he does not stop. From ep 1 till now in ep 17, he still has the girlfriend, and still has the side dishes - but wants to have a baby with his wife. This drama is supposed to have 18 episodes - ähm, so when exactly do they plan to show us how the ML changes, when will this develop into a stable relationship?
Right, never.
Let´s look at the toxic relationship between those two....apart from the infidelity, the ML has excessive agression management issues. He is not only extremely jealous (double standard here), he gets rude, kicks furniture, screams, shouts and insults the FL.
The ML seems to still be in puberty, with very high levels of testosterone, that need an outlet. He needs at least a few more years to grow up to be a man and to get rid of his horns.
So, at this point with one more episode to go I ask myself, what and why did a watch? What for? Will there be more episodes? A second season? Anything to make sense out of this mess?
If I could turn back time, I would stay far far away from this series. Honestly, do not waste your time if you are not only watching for the eye candy.
Senden Daha Güzel (2022)
Was good till episode 11/12
To be honest, it was good - not great but good, till they decided to go "chinese drama style" with this one.
So the main leads were in love, we know it, they know it and then the ex wife comes in, fakes a deadly illness and the FL just backs away. The ML NEVER showed any romatic interest in the ex wife but the FL backs away. The ML confesses his love for her but she backs away, because the ex wife begged her to.
This is so typical for chinese dramas....seen this plot twist hundreds of times already so I just rolled my eyes.
They already had enough drama in this one, the ex wife was not needed but whatever...dropped after that, did not need to watch the last episodes full of missunderstandings for a few happy minutes at the end.

EXCESSIVE abuse and violence! Great actors!
I struggled if to review this series or not but I think some warnings have to be issued. You should be able to tolerate watching a lot of abuse if you want to watch this one.
This series is all about abuse on women.
We can start with Meryems mother (abusive husband), Meryem herself (abusive husband and abusive father that sells her for money), Meryems daughter (witness to all the abuse going on in the house) and Hira.
Let us focus on the main couple Hira and Orhun.
Orhun thinks, that Hira killed his twin sister and therefore tortures her for 26 episodes now. Here we have the whole package: starving her, intimidating her, forcefully grabbing and hurting her, letting her spend the night in a grave, shooting at her (but not shooting her), putting her in chains, the psychological terror by threatening her to take her honor and so on. Hira is terrified of Orhun and this shows in every single one of their interactions. She cries, she trembles, she backs away, she dares not look at him....watching all of this and thinking, that THIS should develop into a romance turns my stomach. Promoting, that a woman will fall in love with her abuser is wrong on so many levels - Stockholm syndrome and love are not the same thing!
Two stars for the actors.
Kizilcik Serbeti (2022)
A MUST SEE!
So far (episode 9) I am really, really impressed!
The actors - all of them - are doing a fabulous job. All portrayed emotions are on point without overacting.
The plot is easy to follow: A girl from a modern family falls in love and gets pregnant from a guy from a traditional family. They marry, the problems start. This may sound like a hard storyline with lot´s of drama, but it is done in such a way, that you will be captivated and will sit at the edge of your seat. Do not be afraid to watch, it really is done in a light way.
The on screen chemistry between the main leads is top notch. They paired two great actors, that can pull their roles to the max. All of their interactions seem natural. I am really impressed and hope, that it will keep on.
Canevim (2019)
Waste of time, money and good actors!
Really, I do not understand how the actors could agree to play in such a disastrous series! I know, that they canceled it and had to rush to get some kind of ending but what the duck was that?!? Not only is the character of Ceylan the most unlikeable FL in the history of turkish dramas, the writers also made her into a brainless, walking zombie, that can not count to three. ML and FL deserve each other - he is a psycho and should get help for his metal problems asap....she is, well, she is.... I do not even know, what is wrong with her....
I was actually happy, that Omer got away from her and has the chance to find a really good woman! I was really very happy!
There is only one positive aspect about this series: it assured a workplace and payment for the crew that worked on set.
Yemin (2019)
Very boring! Same thing happens over and over again!
Started great, was very promising, good cast but maaaaan, it went downhill very fast after season 1!
The same things happen over and over again. It is always the same people plotting against the FL and they are never caught or thrown out of the house. I was like "huh, but this already happend somewhere around episode 50, why does it happen again, and why does nobody know, that it is the mother and Cemre AGAIN?" The plot was very unbelievable, NO ONE can be that stupid as to fall for the same trap over and over again - sorry, but do the writers of this series think, that the audience has dementia or alzheimer disease? Do they think, that we would be entertained with the same plot over and over again? The only ones, that have more than 5 braincells in this series are the evil characters - the good ones (especially ML, FL and the father) would not even find their way out of a room with a huge EXIT sign above the door - they would run against the walls over and over again and not understand, why they can not get out.
If you enjoy watching the same two females plotting against our main couple for 300 plus episodes without getting caught or getting punished and without anyone even knowing, then go ahead and watch this. You might be entertained. But if you actually want to have a good storyline, a good plot, something that makes sense and is not boring stay away from Yemin. I had to drop it!
Emanet (2020)
STOP at season one!
My rating is for season one, which was great!
Great chemistry, great acting, good script, enough drama to keep you watching.
Season one 10 stars.
Season two went downhill as fast as a speed train without brakes. The acting was still great, but the script.....and the end of season two....
Season two 6 (goodwill) stars and only for the sweet moments between the three main leads. Be aware, there are not a lot of them!
Season three is a complete and utter train wreck and here are the reasons why:
One: same storyline as with Seher. Hate to love, even the same discussions! Both save Yamans live! But when Yaman gave Nana the mobile phone (he did the exact same thing with Seher) this series lost completely.
Two: The acting of the new main actress is so unnatural. You have the impression, that she never went to any acting school and that this is her first role ever.
Three: There is no on screen chemistry between the main leads. This is a romance for heavens sake! How can you pair two people, that have zero chemistry? Scenes, that schould be intense seem forced.
It is always a risk to change one of the main leads but it can be done. Yes, it really can be done! Unfortunately, the producers of Emanet chose an actress, that looks too similar to Seher, behaves too similar to Seher, is as stubborn and unfortunately can not act. They are retelling the story of Yaman and Seher with Nana and as we can see in the ratings and viewer counts: this is a big time fail!
Season three 2 stars - one for each remaining main lead (Yaman and Yussuf).
Wanna rescue the show? Change the main actress (and the storyline!) to someone as different from Seher as possible and this time, choose one, that can act, has experience and is able to develop on screen chemistry with your main actor.
Praomook (2021)
Psycho female lead
Obsessive, possesive, overbearing FL!!!
I actually pitied the ML - everyone in his live was controlling and telling him all the time, that he was good for nothing. The FL was a Psycho controllfreak who chased him all the time and did not accept NO for an answer. Imagine those toxic male characters in lakorns, that throw the female against walls etc. Yeah, THIS is the FL in this drama.
The ML made it clear - throughout the whole drama - that he does NOT want or love the FL, but she held on, till the last 5 minutes of the very last episode when he finally gave in - probably out of resignation....
Really, do not waste your time.
Por Pla Lai (2018)
DISGUSTING
No, really, it is disgusting.
What woman in her right mind would want a man, that nearly destroys her family, cheats all the time and does not respekt her or anyone else? He gets the FLs father to cheat on the FLs mother - can you imagine getting together with somebody like that?!? He tries to destroy the relationship of his best friend - of his best friend! Repeatedly - just like that, just for fun! He tricks the FL at every turn, endangering even her work.
All the charakters in this drama are depicted as stupid - except the ML who tricks and plays with everyone.
If you think I am exaggerating - watch it and you will see....
Was this drama supposed to be funny??? Fail!
If you think, that the ML will change his way - no, he does not regret or repend even once! He stays a cheater!!!
Really, even in the last episode she has to drag him out of a strip club and that is the ending of the drama - no thanks, no way.
Sen Çal Kapimi (2020)
Do NOT waste your time!
Ok, ok, ok, we get it, the skript is weak, there is not enough plot to fill 30 something episodes, so we fill it with drama, more drama and a bit more drama up to the point, where it becomes unbearable. We have a strong FL - great. We have a dumb ML - not so great. What really annoyed me, was the constant jealousy. Yes, as mentioned, weak skript, so lets throw in a LOT of females, that are all hysterically in love with the ML. And as the ML is dumb, he gets into dumb situations with those females and creates what??? Yes, drama baby drama! This does not only happen once, not twice, not three times, it happens constantly - at one point you ask yourself...hmmm, there wasn´t any new female for the ML, what happened in this episode, where is the new one? But do not worry, there will be a new reason for jealousy in the next episode - it seems, that that is all there is in this show. Oh, and do not worry, because our strong FL will fight off all those woman, because the ML just can´t because he is so niiiice and enjoys all the attention from all those woman waaay to much to stop them or himself. In real live you would just dump a guy like that and find someone, who actually has a backbone and stands by his woman and not by all the others. Just saying....
