Review of Love for Rent

Love for Rent (2015–2017)
5/10
Seriously annoying heroine, loooooong staring contest between characters

Warning: Spoilers
Defne has so many character flows that watching the show is cringe worthy and I rooted for her to be dumped all through the show.

The episodes are around 130 minutes and probably 65 minutes of that is looooong pauses , songs and staring contests between the characters.

Save your time, watch Erkenci Kus instead which is a better version of this one and the characters are more likable.

Spoilers:

She is lying to everyone from beginning to the end and not in a smart way either :)

In the first 52 episodes she's lying to Omer than after that she's lying to her family. She's supposed to be this bigwig executive who solves all issues at work yet in her personal life all she has are excuses after excuses on why she has to lie. The reasons she gives for lying are so pathetic. Whenever she's caught lying or is urged to confess her answer is "I was going to tell you.... but then I couldn't". Umm yeah, ok.

I understand that's the concept of the show, that the relationship is built on a lie but it's just not believable or endearing when Defne suffers. One of the worst female characters written, I don't understand how this show was so highly rated.
