The series started out superbly joyful and outstanding from episode 1 to 8, with charm, romance, and cliffhanger at end of each episode 1-8. Then from episodes 9 and up, the series took a different sharp turn and got very slow (talk, tak, talk) to fill the two hours period. It got boring and lost of interest. The writers ruined it for no apparent reason maybe they ran out of idea what to do with the series and how to continue it since the series main idea is taken from the movie "The Age Of Adaline". The series had potential to finish season 1, but with the latest episodes 9 and up, the story is going nowhere, and it may not see the light to finish season 1.

the series is the turkish copy of the movie "the age of Adaline"

Nowadays it is very difficult to make series with an original story, but I said to give it a chance and to watch the first episode. Birkan's acting is very good and the character he plays is a strong one, but it seems to me that he gets wasted to a mediocre actress like Ebru Sahin. Her character is so silly, she laughs every second and flirts with a man she has barely met even though she is engaged to someone else. I am more interested in the story of Sureyya and Esref's youth. It is obvious that there was a great love between them and their chemistry is wonderful. If they were the main couple I would definitely have given a higher rating.
Amazing chemistry!

The directing, the cast and the love story between Harika and Kemal is amazing! Birkan and Ebru have such a good chemistry and energy together! I don't like the stories of the past relationships and find them a bit boring but Harika and Kemal scenes make everything better. I hope we will get more of these two. Finally we have a Turkish fantasy show again after so many years. Hilal Saral did again a very good job as the director and the cast, especially Birkan and Ebru together are so phenomenal. Love them and hope we can get a lot more of their scenes and love story together. Simply a perfect duo.
the story of Sureyya and Esref fascinates me

After the first episode I definitely say that an actor of Birkan's stature suits a talented actress like Cemre much better. Even with so few scenes together they managed to convey more emotion than he did with the other woman, Ebru. Sureyya's love for Esref still exists, even after so many years. And he is only young in appearance, because he is even older than her. I think the topic would be much more interesting if it were about their love past, we are all curious about more moments with them. Zerrin's beauty is undeniable, I missed seeing her on the screen again. I'm sorry that the series got small audiences in Turkey, but they chose the main actress with no facial expressions and this is the reason.
one of the best dizi of the season

Ebru and Birkan have a unique and beautiful chemistry, the way they look at each other and they say everything without having to speak, that really makes me fall in love. The story fascinates me, their acting are very natural, I can't wait to see more of Ali Tahir's past and how HarKem's story develop. Also Ebru adapted very well to the character of Harika, it's as if it had been written for her. I love that most of the cast are women. It's a different vibe
The scenery is really beautiful, Hilal Saral has done a great job. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT EPISODE 🔥
Good luck with the rating and international sales ✨💯🍀🍀🍀🍀

mediocre series for me
melisaleylaax7 April 2023
I started the series with high expectations because I knew it has Birkan, which only had successful shows, but unfortunately the same thing did not happen in this one. I don't even know what to start with. It had to be designed as a fantasy series and not a triangle love story (typical of turkish series). The harmony between the main actors does not exist,nor can there be a topic about their chemistry. Birkan and Ebru are not matched at all, there is no sparkle when you look at them. The characters are not written that well. Kemal gives a gift to a women whom he has known for only two days and that bracelet is his ex-wife's, a bad gesture. Harika is engaged to another man and kisses Kemal, and then wants to reconcile with her fiancé. She is an extremely silly and immature character. The only one I like is Sureyya and I feel sorry for her that she has to suffer. With such a scenario and characters, I'm not surprised about the little ratings has it receives in Turkey.
Breathtaking show

The show broadcasted it's first episode last night and it was one of the best shows I've seen. The story is a different type of love story and that's what makes it unique. Once again we can see the marvelous work of @rebrusahin ,the emotions of her characters so beautifully that it is as if the viewer can feel those emotions in their own bodies, as well of the amazing work of Birkan Sokollu. The whole team of this new show is perfect and the harmony that they work in is reflected in the show. It is a story worth watching, you will be able to see the extraordinary work of Nuran Evren Sit magical pen and the great direction of one of the best directors , Hilal Saral, her superb direction is reflected in every show she directs. I cannot wait to see the upcoming episodes.
Great Series
zeinabzaza26 March 2023
For the first time, a Turkish fantasy series is aired on TV, not on a platform. I salute Ebru and Birkan for taking this risk, because the Turkish viewer prefers and is used to a certain style of stories, especially those related to forced marriage and revenge.
I watched the episode with great pleasure. I never got bored. The series' atmosphere is amazing, Hilal Saral's imprint is clear in directing and cinematography .
Birkan Sokullu is a great actor,words are not enough to praise him. In one episode, he excels in conveying more than one character in different eras
Ebru Sahin when I see her, I feel energy and optimism, and this is reflected in Harika's character she played it smoothly. And finally after Hercai and Destan we can see her in a fashionable character
Harika and Kemal scenes captivated me they have a great chemistry, the way Kemal is fascinated by Harika's smallest details and actions and how their relation differs from his past.
Zerrin hanim she is beyond description. The resting cast are quiet nice.

Just started watching this series few days back with English subtitles. Can't express in words how much i loved this drama. Such a spectacular series, absolutely top tier. I must say this is among one of the best turkish drama i came across. Bgm, chemistry, dialogues all are sublime. The way makers are setting this drama up it will excite you more to watch it. Every character of this series is upto the mark. Performance is top notch. If they keep going with the same pace in upcoming episodes this drama will reach new heights. Writing is praiseworthy & deserves all the applauds. Some scenes are so damn emotional that you will end up crying. You will go gaga seeing kemal & harika's love ang(10/10)
The best serial of this season! Everything is beautiful, alive, colorful.
julilatifi21 April 2023
It is really really a very beautiful serial.
With a wonderful cast of actor's in the role of Ali Tahir/Kemal and Harike.
Almost completely different from the Turkish series that we see constantly, where violence and force against women dominate.
The excellent acting of Birkan Sokullu and Ebru Sahin is so natural that the impression they give is amazing.
Everything is beautiful, alive, colorful.
There is a musical column, very sweet and quiet, which goes in coherence with the wonderful acting of Birkan Sokullu, who with his appearance, attitude, knowledge, brings one of his most outstanding roles.

This is such a wonderful series! Great concept & fabulous cast right accross the series. It shows the power of love for your family, friendship, your homeland & of course your soul mate. The main characters of Kemal & Harika are beautifully portrayed & the chemistry between them is wonderful. It's not very often that a series had a great cast throughout but this is one if them.
A really lovely storyline, past & future blended in. Right up my street. Nice amount of episodes too, not a crazy marathon of them.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series & binge watched it over a weekend.
A must watch....enjoy!
