Let's be clear. I know that there are a lot of series that are better than Emanet, but Emanet has something different. First, the chemistry between Seher and Yaman. Although yeman is a tough man who dosen't believe in love, still you can feel that he is a human-being who has feelings. He is not that kind of person who surrendered to what he feels easily. We can see how he keeps ignoring and resisting his emotions toward Seher. The way he depicts this is perfect. Both of the protagonist are doing v.good, but the series needs more plots and characters.

Slow & Repetitious!
Dante200426 December 2022
I'm on season 1 episode 100 and I'm only watching cause I love the lead actor. The concept is great, but there is no depth, progression or character growth. I'm about to stop watching because I'm tired of the slow pace and repetitive storylines.
Casting is horrible. The majority of the actors overact and are not at all believable. Sila is way too young to play this role. She's 21 and her acting lacks any type of emotion. Halil is absolutely gorgeous and the expressions on his face are worth a 1000 words. Sila was obviously chosen for her beauty and that's all you're going to get from from actress. The distracting eye movements, half blinks, coy smiles and childlike behavior just frustrates me to no end. We get it, she's pretty, but enough with the closeups! Even her tone has changed and she has become unwatchable. She acts like a nervous teenager with a crush next to a mature man. Ughh! Episode 100 and still no physical contact other than the ridiculous stares!
Kiraz, Ali and the police officers are absolutely irrelevant! What is the purpose of them being on this show? Why not focus on Yaman and Ziya's past? What happened to Ziya? Who raised them? Where is their mother? No depth! At episode 100 it has now turned into a teenage love story. Each episode is 60 minutes. 20 minutes of Sila's eyeballs, 20 minutes of flashbacks and 20 minutes of the same dialogue.
I gave 5 stars for the concept and Halil. I hope things change, but I'm not very optimistic. I'm giving it another 10 episodes and if nothing improves, I'm done. Sick of fast forwarding and hoping not to see see Sila's closeups.

Overall a good watch (Season 1/2)
Anry714 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this show as a recommendation and I really enjoyed watching season 1 and 2, not a fan on season 3.
Halil (Yaman) and Sila (Seher) were amazing! Their chemistry on camera made the connection of their characters feel real and enjoyable to watch. Melih, Gülderen, Tolga and Berat were also great actors that did an amazing job portraying their characters. However, I did feel that this storyline had so much potential but was just filled with unnecessary characters and stories that prevented character development beyond conflict. The protagonists were in constant battle with others and themselves that when new issues developed complicating their lives the same uncertainties from previous events made their issues complicated more than they should have been. I also felt that the story could have concluded between season one and two considering the number of episodes that both seasons combined had. I felt that the appeal of the first season was the character development and how each was growing due to the influence of the other. Season two brought more conflict for the protagonists and new story lines for other characters that I felt some were unnecessary and should just have been focused on the development of the characters already there. Due to circumstances there is a new female lead which changed the story line for season three making it a bit hard to enjoy since I felt they are not only repeating some of the same story from the main characters in season one/two but almost forcing the relationship between Halil and Nana. They should have just replaced Seher (Sila) in order to conclude the story between Yemen and Seher instead of introducing Nana since I just don't feel the connection between the two and I am not a fan of Nana's acting. Overall I do recommend the series as a must watch but I do agree with others that you should just stop at season 2.

Acting is so powerful

I LOVE IT
kkaterhyne29 October 2020
This show is really good. Each episode contains a dose of drama and the storyline definitely keeps you hooked. All the actors do an amazing job portraying their designed character (specially Yaman & Seher) *they deserve an award*
At the beginning, you'll probably hate the main characters and literally you'll want to kill them :) but please... give them an opportunity coz their story is worth to watch <3
UPDATE: I initially loved the show so much. I tried to keep up with all the episodes but the directors fu* up the show. They stretched the storyline so badly and destroyed the personality of many characters. A ton of scenes were added just to create unnecessary drama between the main characters. They barely had happy scenes, and their relationship was full of misunderstandings and heartbreaking moments. Yaman & Seher overcame lots of horrible things to be together, and they didn't get the ending they deserved. I am truly disappointed, the series has like 400+ episodes of approx. 1 hour and this wasn't enough to give the fans a good series to enjoy. My initial rate was a 8/10 but now is a 2/10 because even though the cast was talented, the series is just not worth to watch. When it started airing, it was super good and entertaining, but then it became beyond unenjoyable. So if you decide to watch it, please be prepare to experience a rollercoaster of negative emotions, I am sure you'll ended up leaving it like most of the fans cause only a few people have the strength to stand 400+ episodes that are not pleasant to watch.

Really good actors and actresses
makropoulouk7 November 2020
Male leading part has exceptional facial expressions and though some times he doesn't say a word,his eyes say a whole story. The brother ....Superb acting skills .Bravo to all cast.It is not 10 because you know , romance requires to see a kiss - even a touch of the lips
Yaman's eyes expressions are WaaaaaaaaaaaW
monaliza-7231715 October 2020
First I am a full drama addict from different countries but I can't get enough of Halil Ibrahim Ceyhan potraying the role of Yaman , the man has hardly dialogues in each scene yet he managed to steal the show for me .
It is his eyes which say it all , the face and eyes expressions alone deserve an award .
Well done for casting him in this role .
Now the show is really great and the plot is keeping me hooked , episodes are moving smoothly without dragging them for misunderstanding like other Turkish drama ( hope the stay like that ) , all characters are well potrayed and no one is below average .
All the best for this one

STOP at season one!

My rating is for season one, which was great!
Great chemistry, great acting, good script, enough drama to keep you watching.
Season one 10 stars.
Season two went downhill as fast as a speed train without brakes. The acting was still great, but the script.....and the end of season two.... Season two 6 (goodwill) stars and only for the sweet moments between the three main leads. Be aware, there are not a lot of them!
Season three is a complete and utter train wreck and here are the reasons why: One: same storyline as with Seher. Hate to love, even the same discussions! Both save Yamans live! But when Yaman gave Nana the mobile phone (he did the exact same thing with Seher) this series lost completely.
Two: The acting of the new main actress is so unnatural. You have the impression, that she never went to any acting school and that this is her first role ever.
Three: There is no on screen chemistry between the main leads. This is a romance for heavens sake! How can you pair two people, that have zero chemistry? Scenes, that schould be intense seem forced.
It is always a risk to change one of the main leads but it can be done. Yes, it really can be done! Unfortunately, the producers of Emanet chose an actress, that looks too similar to Seher, behaves too similar to Seher, is as stubborn and unfortunately can not act. They are retelling the story of Yaman and Seher with Nana and as we can see in the ratings and viewer counts: this is a big time fail!
Season three 2 stars - one for each remaining main lead (Yaman and Yussuf).
Wanna rescue the show? Change the main actress (and the storyline!) to someone as different from Seher as possible and this time, choose one, that can act, has experience and is able to develop on screen chemistry with your main actor.

Superb Acting
lemahwish19 October 2020
I originally tuned in because I liked the plot but what hooked me was the amazing acting by everyone especially the leads! Both Halil and Sila have outdone themselves! They have nailed every nuance, every feeling, every expression with great finesse. You sometimes don't even need dialogue, they portray everything through their eyes. This level of perfection in acting, plot, direction, especially in a soap is amazing! Episode 30 was a work of art. Loving this series!

Respected Sir, I m from India. My self Raunak jeet Singh. I m female person. I want to know is this drama is dubbed in Hindi also. The promo is very interesting so I want to see all the episodes. Can u help me to know from where I can watch this. In Hindi.
A MUST SEE DIZI!
m-0917931 January 2021
Yaman and Seher's love is story is poetic and in depth, they get go from distrust, anger, angst to understanding,caring, trusting each other and LOVE of course!
The characters are very well developed! They are so endearing and loveable (Yaman, Seher, Yusuf) or hate-able( Ikbal/Zuhal).
Seher is a strong headed and brave girl, it's so refreshing!
The ARCHERY scenes are so epic! The actors are excellent! There are mind-blowing actings scnes from Sila's grave scene to Halil expressing his emotions and feelings with his eyes! He doesn't have much dialogue in the first episodes but he expresses everything though his face!
Some of the EMANET scenes are so epic and so well directed!! Soundtrack is awesome as well!

Warning: Spoilers
I love everything about this drama.The lead actor is new to my eyes but his acting skills and demeanor could swift your heart.I love the tandem,the war ,the unique romantic scenes.I love the portrayal of Ziya,Yusuf,and Seher.I love how Seher and Yaman speak thru their eyes.Their portrayal is very closed to reality.And lastly to my dear Yaman you nailed it,you didn't just portray, you really feel it,I really waited for you to smile,but I get contented with that sulky face, I learned to love the cold beast and I hope Seher will learn to love you too.SerYam💗
Unexpectedly Awesome
mfbugia18 October 2020
I don't normally rate teledramas but this one really made me surprise with the excitement of eye contacts, reading of minds, unexpected plots. This was really awesome to me even if I don't understand the language. I hope an english subtitles will be consistently available. Whoever directs and wrote the plots, you made me hook to you work. actors believable. 'love it.
Started out Great ....
jhnqrbxd22 April 2022
This series started out great , but now it is the worst series EVER ! Who is this director? Writer ? I mean really !! U must like suffering ! One thing after another , I would have committed suicide by now , if this was my life ! Agony ! This is a perfect example of a super series gone bad ! U have managed to ruin ur own series by extending and making it a torture , (and I don't mean that in a good way ) to watch ! I stopped watching about 100 episodes ago ! U managed to make me dislike the characters ! Saher is now annoying and Yaman is whipped !
WOW! THE BEST DRAMA I EVER SAW!
chentur6 November 2020
Amazing actors! An interesting and amazing plot! The best drama I've seen (and seen a lot of), each time waiting for the next episode with excitement. The process is very long, but worth every moment of watching. perfect.
Disgusting
gloudina-6820031 December 2021
Excessive abuse and violence especially against woman in this series is disgusting and abnormal
It totally spoiled the series.
Storyline not to bad, acting average, too much crying every five minutes the leading actress is crying. 😵😵😵 The slapping in the face in Turkish movies and series is mostly spoiling the good parts.
Storyline is sometimes confusing maybe due to different scriptwriters, the one does not know what the other one has written.

Had the potential to be great BUT ruined by poor scripts/writers
sunshalani3 January 2022
Series 1 was great and I loved the lead actors. But series 2 was just a load of nonsensical plots that ran at a snails pace. In addition its the only series where being cruel, heartless and scheming wins and goes unpunished. And all the good hearted characters are naive and clueless. The scripts and plots are designed to annoy you and are at times so childish. I will in future steer clear of anything that Nazmiye Yilmaz produces.
This one deserves my time :)
ishaifu14 January 2021
Iam very picky when it comes to watching cross cultural dramas and I guess I was lucky that I came across this gem! I usually watch watch dramas that are max 20-25 ep long but this one is an exception! Each episode is engaging. The cast is wonderful especially Halil Ibrahim, this guy can direct the entire series only with his eyes. His gaze is so powerful that it can instantly burn the screen :))) Anyone who is into romcom should definately watch this.
Not good anymore
swaycover11 January 2023
Emanet Season 1 was great!
I stopped watching in season 2, when it started to be one drama on top of the other, on top of the other, on top of the other... It got boring and it was depressing to watch.
I had high hopes and expectations for season 3.
Maaaan was I wrong!
Season 3 is copy and paste from season 1 and season 2 but with a new character, that is behaving like a 16 year old teenager. All giggly, impertinent and childish. On top of that, this new character is played by an actress that really does not know how to act. Every time she has to play a scene with even a tiny bit of depth - like a conversation - you have the impression, that she is standing in front of a mirror practising her lines.
What a waste of potential for season 3! Really sad, that out of three seasons, there was only season 1, that I can recommend.
