This's one of the most popular shows ever in Arab countries, and I'd say it has an argument for #1, it started a new trend of dubbed Turkish shows in the region. It was strange seeing this show's Unprecedented success among a lot of competition from Arabic and American shows. For me I was one of the few that didn't actually watched it, it gave some corny vibes (well it's a soap opera), but it's generational cultural impact was a sight to behold.
