Honestly, it was so exciting and fun in the beginning....the writing went downhill from the second half onwards when they went on to extend the series because of its popularity whereas if they kept it short and crisp it would have been much more loved and appreciated!! I loved the chemistry between the leads and other characters were fun to watch... just wished there were more moments of PoyHaz than the problems and obstacles always being in their way just to extend the series!! Could have been a 10/10 series if the second half of the series maintained its quality and writing!! But I still love the show though! 👍

Entertaining, beautiful setting but weak plot
mosquitocyn24 September 2021
I just finished up to episode 14, not sure how many episodes will the series run. This is a typical romcom which provides fun, lively interaction, a beautiful couple, good supporting cast and an amazing setting that gives it a holiday atmosphere. The only problem is the plot is not solid or evolving. The episodes seem to be dragging a bit now with the same issues and problems and thus gets a bit boring. But since the setting is on an island, you get good scenery and plenty of colors and makes the series more watchable.
GOOD STORYLINE

From the beginning it captures the attention of the viewer. The location where it is being filmed is charming full of typical summer magic. And the chemistry between the actors is very good, they make a very attractive couple.
The north wind, Poyraz, and the June sun, Haziran, a meeting, the eclipse.
RaniaALDMR7 January 2022
I don't want to rate this series because it is impossible to rate it. Why? The series is not the same at the beginning and at the end. The Turkish series industry is so particular that the writers change according to the mood of the producers and the opinion of some Turkish viewers who determine the ratings. The opinion of international viewers does not count; however, the success of Turkish series is determined by their sale abroad. A policy without logic, unfair.
The series ended about a month ago, and, until today, I can't calm my anger. The first ten episodes are wonderful, fabulous, extraordinary. The first nine episodes were written by two talented screenwriters: Yesim Citak and Yelda Eroglu. Then, two other writers joined the team from the third episode: Dilek Iyigün and Emine Yildirim. An excellent team. The title of the series, The Island Fairy Tale, tells the story, in a truly wonderful way, of two opposing characters who meet each other: Poyraz, whose name means the North Wind, and Haziran, which translates to the month of June. Names that are not chosen randomly, each of them referring to an emblematic symbol of their personality: the moon and the sun. A special encounter, announced from the beginning as an expectation, a rendezvous: the much awaited eclipse.
In the first nine episodes, everything is told in a deep, subtle, symbolic way; the whole atmosphere of the series recalls the universe and the codes of the fairy tale, with a praise for the beautiful, the particular link which binds us with nature whose secret language is deciphered, heard, only by those who take the time to see it, to listen to it. People like Poyraz, an introverted character, a photographer, a lover of nature and its language. Haziran, a pure city dweller, learns, thanks to Poyraz, to speak this particular language, to appreciate nature and beauty. Together, they reinvent a new, a particular language. Haziran is also the sun that will illuminate Poyraz's life, marked by a dark, traumatic childhood, a traumatic childhood, a story that connects them.
The feelings, the emotions that the viewer feels are rich, endless, indescribable. Also, the chemistry between Alp Navruz, Poyraz, and Ayça Aysin Turan, Haziran, is so extraordinary that it seems that between them there is also a silent, secret language; another dialogue takes place between them, of which they are the only ones to decipher its meaning.
I was so impressed by the beauty, the depth, the richness of the series, that I opened a twitter account, my first social media account, to write several articles about the series, in English, while my native language is French.
Unfortunately, the producers, AY Yapim, supposedly one of the best production company in Turkey, made the decision to change the writers from episode ten, replaced by Aksel Bonfil, a screenwriter who has nothing to do with the initial project, which is unfamiliar with the magical world of the series. There will still be a few acceptable episodes, even quite good, but far from the usual quality. Then, as soon as the series was sold overseas, Ay Yapim abandoned the series altogether, especially since they had several other projects pending.
Finally, from episode 20, I think, I'm not sure since I stopped watching the series, Aksel Bonfil was again replaced by inexperienced screenwriters, without talent, without any knowledge of the characters , of the series, writers of the production company Ay Yapim.
The ending was horrible, without any quality, so disappointing. The actors no longer had a stylist, a makeup artist; the clothes of the main character, so elegant at first, have become very poor quality, cheap. All the money from the series was spent to fund Ay Yapim's new series. The main characters hardly had any more screen presence time, why? The series has become the opportunity for Ay Yapim to make tests, to highlight other actors, playing the role of secondary characters, so that they are cast in other series. Besides, two of them, before the end of the series, thanks to the series, were immediately cast for another series.
Turkish series are excellent; unfortunately, because of this outdated, obsolete, ineffective policy, many series, excellent at the beginning, become less good, often different, bad, carried out superficially, hastily at the end.
A lot of viewers like me feel a great frustration, an anger, as the writers change, the series suddenly stop, forcing new writers to complete a story that is not theirs, of which they are not the original authors. No one can write another's story.
The lack of respect towards the actors, the viewers is really unacceptable. Fox channel in Turkey, for example, stopped several series overnight; the channel got rid of these series, of the actors, of a whole team like used, useless handkerchiefs.
In the era of digital platforms, the channels need to change their policies before it is too late.

ada masali in turkish is magnificent and charming
saraelsheikh29 August 2021
First it is a drama show not a comedy romantik
gender equality is a main concepts of the show. The leads are very talented actors have a good chemistry. The scenario is perfect
everyone will adore the cinematography & soundtrack
haziran and poyraz are 2 different characters but going through the same traumas & difficulties in life
the location of the show is wonderful
u will be obsessed with Haziran character
everything in this show will attract you.
A beautiful tale
gopikagopz-2686217 July 2021
I personally felt so pleased to watch such a wonderful dizi like Ada Masali. I have watched many of the with almost same plots and same characters, it became so monotonous. I wanted something different, something exotic, something pleasing and yes I found all these in this series. Away from the hustles of city Istanbul and the usual office romance, this is more soothing and calms your mind. I would recommend this series to anyone and everyone!!Story is also nice with beautiful bunch of talented artists who does their job well. I am sure you wont be disappointed but more delighted and contended to watch it! So why wait, start watching now!
Started great, but.......end it already

Loved this story in the beginning. But from episode 15 it's really becoming childish. It doesn't make sense anymore and is way too dramatic. Poyraz doesn't want to go against his grandmother for Haziran but then goes against her and tries to get rid of Haziran...how is this love? It only now seems like Poyraz is a masochist and likes to be in a constant state of melancholy. What exactly did he prove? Only that he's an idiot and not willing to fight for the woman he supposedly loves. I've now lost interest in this story. How many times will they break up and find each other, break up and find each other...rinse repeat. Boring.
Also there's never anyone working in that Hotel kitchen...lol. Not sure where the "food" comes from that people order. The writers could at least make it a little more believable.

Definitely not a cliche

The storyline is different and captivating not like the mundane stories where the hero is of higher superiority. And the actors fit the characters perfectly. The ambience and the colourful atmosphere is unforgettable and breathtaking. This is a 10/10 series.
Do not even bother

It just alluring
aimanaansari21 June 2021
I think its time to say goodbye to k dramas. I really don't expect such beautiful dramas from turkey. Shooting location , cast everything is just perfect. But guys why you don't understand that providing English subtitles would make it internationally hit .please try to give subs..thanks.
Awesome new show
bushj10 July 2021
One of my favorite new shows...lots of chemistry between main characters and the building on the secondary character's relationships are starting to get interesting also! Love the mixture of drama, comedy and romance!!!
It became terrible!

The story line is new in Turkish shows
But it's too fast!
Everything should happen during the whole 39 episodes, they did it in only 10 episodes!
Aysha's acting was so good in drama ( Zemharir ) Ama it's horrible in comedy Alp was a good actor too , but I don't know what happened?
Overall the show was nice at first & it will be very boring.

A beautiful island romance set in the magical Turkish Aegean
borgun-3798619 July 2021
Amazing drama. Very different from the rest. Will definitely chime with the romantic souls. Haziran (June) is amazing as an impulsive, good-hearted, dynamic strong-headed female lead. Poyraz (Northern wind that blows in June and cools the temperature down) is this stoic, reserved, brave, decent to the core man whose simple island life is shaken up by the storm created by Haziran.
While trying to help her boss in return for the coveted Tokyo placement, Haziran has done a grave wrong to Poyraz on her first trip to the island. In order to right the wrong and also prevent her parental home from being sold, Haziran returns to the island. What ensues is a beautiful love story set in the amazing scenery of the Agean turkey.
Will the two love birds finally confess their love for each other? Will their love withstand the painful betrayal in the past? Will they survive the antagonists: Hakan, Idil, Zeynep? What secrets lie in their family stories? Is Poyraz'a mum still alive? Will Baba anne remember what Haziran told her? Are Idil and Haziran half sisters? Please fasten your seatbelts for we are in for a crazy and beautiful ride here.

It's a no
bellaciaoxy22 August 2021
Ayca's acting is so bad in this dizi, don't even bother. Just watch all her previous work then you will know. She tried so hard to be that bubbly summer girl but she failed. Alp tried hard to look intense but its too cringy. Overall a no from me.
Here's my review

Boring
drhadeelbashir11 November 2021
It started good but lost the plot in 5 episodes , boring script, no character development . Weak side cast .
The protogonist male character is cocky , egoistic and the lead female has to endure his tantrums due to his bad past .

It's so chilling to watch with the island 🏝 views
marwabalasim16 July 2021
Alp and Ayça are both amazing it so nice and comfortable to watch them together especially along with the beautiful summer sunshine at the island, they just need to expand the Sinario to include more stories and get more drama to use the main players in a better way.
Good series
