Intense drama indeed! Love the humor and Asiye is by far my most favorite. I hope all the episodes and 3 seasons of it is not about being on the run! Good acting by all, comes across as very natural especially the family dynamics. Tahir is adorable (although he never comes across as adorable, more endearing maybe) love his equation with the child…..
am so glad you like it! 😇 🤗
so I found the drama kind of by accident -- as in I went in blind not knowing what it was about as the synopsis on the streaming site was rather vague. all I knew was the drama was a bit of a surprise ratings winner even though it covered rather serious social issues. think a lot of the winning formula is also due to the humour that is provided by the family members.
I was cracking up when the mom-in-law said "my husband loved his mother and my son loves his wife more. God, why are you testing me?" and the twins just start laughing. 😂 in ITV, you would never hear mom-in-law admit it and neither would her sons be laughing at her. here, they play it for laughs. 😆
in answer to your question, I watched about half of the drama. took a break and peeked into the middle to see vedat die and then the end episode. hahahahah.. I am not sure how they kept the drama going after vedat's death but I just wanted to make sure the guy died because I was so sick of his creepy face. basically the director wanted to keep the drama going as it was ratings hit but the FL actress was like "nah, lets wrap it up". they did end the drama in a way that makes everything come full circle. you feel satisfied with the ending.
rather than them being on the run, most of the drama was about facing the cultural and religious implications of her situation and how people are almost nonchalant or not caring or coming to odd assumptions. in between there is lots of masala and over-the-top reactions but nothing feels overly contrived. it makes sense in that world because this family is so loud. 😆
what I loved was that the lecturing was done mostly by two characters -- baba Osman, Asiye's dad who is also the local imam and a lawyer lady who also happens to be Asiye's cousin. so baba Osman addresses the cultural and religious implications of how to respond to such situation as a society while the lawyer lady responds from a legal angle.
baba Osman is such a fantastic character and some of the things he says are so deep. so well written. I wish we had such good lecture moments in ITV instead of the drivel we often get from mahaan FLs. just leave the lecturing to someone who has life experience!
