Zeytin Agaci (2022)
Something wow!
Oh, I thought nothing can get my attention after Çukur, and now that it happened it was over too quickly. Will there be a sequel?
A short serial film with life stories that feed on the past that connects our life, in unsuspected ways, to the universe. Learn to live with yourself man, accept who you are, believe in yourself and your destiny. The energy of what surrounds us is also your energy.
Superb. It keeps you breathless, multicolored butterflies disturbing your peace... the flower petals waiting for the morning dew, the dry lips from the longing of other lips.
A beautiful love, longing story. Simple and complex.
Well done!
Alev Alev (2020)
life...
In theory, no one has the right to have power over someone else, based on the principle that before God and before the law we are all equal. But as reality is an interesting fantasy, putting the theory into practice is a bit difficult, especially if we talk about selfishness, malice, desire for power, supremacy, arrogance, ego, pride, stupidity, laziness, falsehood, lying, physical violence, emotional, psychological, fear, abuse of power....
"Alev alev" shows us a fiction inspired by real facts, meaning all the events that are presented through the team behind this series represent a reality of a human being, somewhere in this corner of the world. A scream of helplessness.
The good tfro within us, faith, trust, love, forgiveness, understanding, kindness, acceptance, atonement... lead us to peace, well-being, peace of mind.
Coming back to the series... I don't know how to express myself... it's good. Tragic, funny... both good and bad, more precisely... some actors were very good, others hmm...
Ozan and Cemre - their story is interesting, showing us that a timely help can save a life, and as the time goes life builds life and takes a beautiful turn.
Cicek and Iskender - here we are talking about something explosive... a nothing becomes a whole, the crumb becomes a pile. The story of these 2 characters is much more complex than the other 2. Despair, guilt, love, forgiveness, waiting.... It would have been nice if their story had been a direct "happy ending", but only the thought that despite the tragedy there is a second chance, it's nice.
Hazar Ergüçlü, Berker Güven, Demet Evgar and others... Cem Bender, the antagonist...
Tamam Miyiz? (2013)
A lesson. Life matters, no matter who, what you are. No one should judge!
A life lesson!
The film shows us 2 realities of our society, namely homosexuality and disability, which are viewed with moldy eyes, full of prejudices.
The friendship between the two characters is like a breath of fresh air, each of them needing the other to breathe. But if Temmuz is mentally stronger and somehow tries to move on, through work, through drinking, still having friends who accept him, Ihsan comes from a poor family environment, with a physically and verbally abusive father, with a mother who took the whole weight on her. So the only escape is death.
The relationship between the two shows us what a good word means, it predicts a beautiful future, but the need for liberation wins in the end, and the two choose to go into the unknown together.
Sadly, i was hoping for a happy ending.

breathless
Purity of the soul. Innocence.
When evil, injustice, cowardice, power dominates, they can change the way things go, they can cause so much damage that it cannot be measured.
Being a parent means owning the world, not even illness can stop the love and the struggle. No one should stay between a parent and his child (of course, i am not talking about violence or other situations in which "parents" are not fit to raise their children), no one should stay in front of justice.
But still, a touch of kindness works wonders!
This kind of tragic/sadness is so common that I am happy when the ending is possitive.
Anyway, just breathless this version too. 'Cause i saw both, the korean one as well, and there it can't be any comparation between, both are uniq and very good.
As usual Aras played his character so well.
Çukur (2016)
Mind blowing
I finished it!
A beautiful story of love, action, drama summed up in 4 seasons.
I'm not saying that there aren't gaps in the script or in any scene, but despite everything... a masterpiece.
Responsibility and love for family, friends, acquaintances is something hard to imagine that exists nowadays, but Yamach proves to us that, despite numerous obstacles and losses, you should never give up.
The interaction between the brothers brings a breath of fresh air precisely through the kindness, the forgiveness they show at every end of the story.
The love story between Yamach and Efsun passed all possible tests and lasted until the end. The chemistry between these 2 characters is so well highlighted, that it makes you live through them all their lives. A story of longing, love, pain and suffering, but with happy ending. The marriage proposal, from the roof, is the most beautiful, funny, simple, sincere and free of clichés.
The series itself makes you breathe at the same time as the characters.
I'm back with a new review (an addition to the first one)... (25.09.22)
only a few weeks ago I saw the 4 seasons of this wonderful series and since I finished I keep coming back to some scenes that I liked and that I can't get out of my head...
For example...the united community like "the 3 musketeers - all for one and one for all", with enormous efforts from everyone to protect the well-being of the neighborhood...
The relationship between the brothers... some envy between them, but stemming from the lack of affection offered by the parents, that's why not everyone can be a parent. But so much love and kindness...
First Selim and Vartolu, both united against the family (known and unknown)... with a bad ending, followed by a breakup of what is called "family"...
Yamac and Selim have many misunderstandings stemming from different mentalities, but during the 4 seasons their relationship becomes united for the family, they are brothers, and they are sacrifice for each other.
I liked the relationship between Yamac and Salih (Vartolu) the most. Even if the relationship starts from the perspective of enmity, once Yamac finds out the truth behind Salih's actions, the pain he carries, he does everything possible to integrate him into the family, and the feelings of love for each other gradually grow.
Cumali...being out of action for a long time, it is normal that he cannot accept certain situations, but with the help of Yamac and Selim, he realizes that Salih is one of them.
No matter how divided this family is during the 4 seasons, they manage to stay standing, side by side, guided by an iron hand - Yamac.
The most hateful character of this series was the brothers' mother, a selfish woman in her desire to control, to maintain certain standards, a woman lacking, at least for me, the goodness of sacrifice for those around her. But I think that without her we could not see the development of so much power of sacrifice, so much pain, compassion... so somehow she has her place, but still a hateful character.
The father... a strong character, having good friends with him, always trying to find favorable solutions. Loving but also unforgiving, a father who didn't see or treat his children as equals, not accepting that not everyone can be like him...
Yamac's relationship with Sena... honestly, it started well... Along the way we notice that she also comes from a family with a difficult history. Too many hidden things not to destroy that something she may have. The love between them is not mature, my opinion, although it is love, a love that has lost its freedom, has been fenced off. Sena's death was somewhat unexpected, in the idea that I thought that the screenwriters were going to continue it until the end with the relationship between the two. But I don't think that anything could be extracted from their love story... the desire for freedom, that's how I see their story.
Yamac and Nehir really had no future.
And now... my personal opinion...
Yamac and Efsun... a love story born from compassion, curiosity, passion, truth, love, sacrifices, understanding, loyalty. The most beautiful! A love that strengthened with each episode, despite the action that led to the meeting of the 2, being involved in actions that indirectly caused death and brought pain to the souls of both.
They tried to stay apart, knowing truths that others did not know, but what united them was stronger than anything else.
The marriage proposal was the most gorgeous I've seen, in movies or in reality, in my 35 years. So original, direct, free of clichés, but so desirable.
The ending... I mean the last scene, when Yamac dies of old age... I didn't really like it... I mean I understood the need to meet those who died before, his family lost in battles with enemies, the farewell with Sena, after years and years, she was his lovely wife, whose death marked him enormously... but still... something is missing... namely Efsun...
I think that the team of the series could have developed the story between Efsun and Yamac for 10 more minutes... From the sequence with the feast in the neighborhood we can clearly understand how much the two love each other, that they will withstand time and difficulties together, that they are made for each other, that loyalty and the power to overcome small misunderstandings will keep them together... with 2 beautiful children (theirs and Yamac's with Nehir)... but I would have liked them (the team) to continue with their romantic story!
A beautiful series that I will not forget too soon. And not because of crimes and drugs, fights or arms trafficking... But because of kindness, the power of sacrifice, love, understanding, the effort made to achieve peace, laughs and jokes, smiles and tears.
Yamac, Salih, Efsun... they rock it!
The others as well: Selim, Cumali, the wifes, the children, neighborhood, friends, the enemies...
Sevdam Alabora (2015)
sad, twisted
The story is so sad and twisted. There is so much confusion.
We have untold secrets and the plot goes on and on until nothingness.
The relation between Gokhan and Zeynep is unfinished. I can't even see an opened ending here. There are no smiles, no sparkling, just love. I would have loved to see some fire between them, passion.
And a sudden ending. That's it!
Elcin Sangu is good, as usual, but i like her better in romantic comedies, even though she is so committed, with every role she becomes better and better.
About Kadir Dogulu i can't say much, my first time seeing his acting, but his character is a bit too calm.
Içerde (2016)
Score 1000 out of 10.
A very damn good action series. An amazing script, dedicated actors, a teamwork that "brought to life" a masterpiece!
The relationships between the characters are so intense that it's as you live the scenes through them. Sarp and Mert have so much chemistry between them, dynamic characters and alwaysone of them is one step ahead of the other, but they complement each other so well as if they were a whole. Every time I had the impression that one of them would win the game...poof! Houdini pulls the other's counterattack out of his hat.
But when these two brilliant minds meet and play on a common front... Spectacular!
Kalp Yarasi (2021)
Wow
Wow...
The story... They twisted it and turned it and pulled off a happy ending.
A very good start... Lots of intrigue along the way. The action could be read before it happened.
Drama as it encompasses.
Strange scenario between the lines.
After so much hate... Poof! Everyone lived happily, except for those who obviously died, to a ripe old age, theoretically.
Kalp Atisi (2017)
strong start, rushed ending
It was a strong start, but from the middle to the end the story took a wrong turn.
A strong, intelligent woman with a great passion for her profession, a man who loves her very much, also a dedicated doctor. Great friends. We have the usual intrigue and misunderstanding between medical staff, and the usual medical practice with a few unethical incidents...
But the ending was too rushed, after the story took a strange turn.
Yüz Yüze (2017)
10/10 I love it, but...
The action is very well executed, the story is very interesting... but the ending... ends abruptly without a denouement... period.
A series that tells a life story in 2 episodes. We also have comedic elements, a bit of feeling, not only tragic elements... but as I said, the ending... disappeared in thin air!
Elkizi (2021)
A sad series, without a bit of hope.
The actors played their roles well, but the story between Ali and Ezo is too sad.
Ezo is paying for what she did, but those who hurt Ezo got off cheap. Ali's love is boundless, but... it would have been nice to have another scene with them meeting again and starting from scratch, together, after a few years!
Sevmek Zamani (2022)
10/10 worth it! even if it seems tragic and the ending is unexplored, light wins, goodness wins.
A tragic story that ended with a smile. After the rain comes the sun, and although the rain is beautiful, with the sun comes the rainbow.
I have seen all 5 episodes and I can say that I liked the series very much.
10/10 because it captured the complexity of life. No matter how sad the action is (a sad reality of our life) and no matter how much the characters suffer, at the end of the tunnel, through will, love and trust, there is light for those who believe in it.
The tragic story could not be continued any longer.
But the ending deserves to be developed. Kagan and Firuze deserved an episode full of joy. The chemistry between them gradually developed until it became more than obvious.
Ilhan is a very good actor, portraying the role in a flawless manner. I saw the series for this actor and I can say that he is a very talented young man.
