It's a good story but the emotional aspects runs uncontrollably sad. There are too many evil and disturbed characters in this series and they often act out in violence. I'm glad it's a mini series of 13 episodes or else I would not bother to watch this series. Without giving spoilers, what keeps me watching is the interesting story and a few of the characters like Elvan (the main female lead), Selim (her son - this boy can really act), Fuat, Elvan's sister and Atif who was initially portrayed as a coward and weak person but developed into a responsible man. Seray's character infuriates me a lot and you really wonder why her character is written like that. She's supposed to be the second lead female but I can't seem to like her character. I did not like the undue sufferings inflicted upon Elvan and many times felt like giving up the series because of this. In any case, it's an interesting story and has only 13 episodes, so it's ok to watch it but I confess I had to fast forward many scenes.

What a bad soap opera!
limamai205 November 2021
It's everything so bad in this soap opera that I don't even know where to start... I'll start with what's good: Elvan, Selim, Fuat and Selma are great characters. My only complaint is that Selma's reason for to going to prison has not been revealed.
The other characters... Atif and Seray are by far the worst. Atif is not man enough to take the blame for the crime he committed in the beginning, he is not a man enough to reject his mother covering up his crime, he is not a man enough to tell the truth to Seray in person (he told in a letter) ... In short: Atif not man! He's the baby Taner (the mother's henchman) has to take care of. Seray, on the other hand, is a stupid girl who condemned her mother without even knowing the reason for her father's death, a girl who lives with her uncle going through the most diverse humiliations instead of returning to her mother's house who loves her with all heart. Seray neglects her brother and while vehemently asserting that she wouldn't marry, she doesn't think twice about throwing herself at the rich guy (a gold-digging woman? That's what she looks like).
Cengiz is pathetic and regenerates from the nowhere on final (where is the punishment for so many crimes???), Atif and Seray's friends are as stupid as these, Rifat is a completely unbalanced boy, envious and unloved, Taner and Inci didn't have their deserved ending...
Anyway, this soap opera is very bad. Characters that are worthless, that don't pay for their crimes in the end, stupid young protagonists, unexplained stuff and hasty ending. Really good Turkish drama are Meryem and Fatmagül.

2 stars for Selim only, the rest is trash.

I've seen a lot of Turkish dizis, just few of them are worst than this dizi.
Plot: The idea is ok, in fact it is further developed degrading in Kardeslerim which has pretty much the same philosophy of givong the main characters 99% a dark background where nothing good happens but all the worst yes. But a good idea is nothing if the actors don't deliver it.
Script: Awful. Full of tupid dialogues. No following of ideas. Characters doing stuff not in line with their character, plenty of unexplained stuff.
Actors: except Remziand the little Selim no one is doing a proper acting. Good actors that have excelled in other projects, here look like conplete amateurs. A mother that doesn't deliver any pain hurt over losing her family or commiting a crime. Ece Uslu, Elvan (class failed). Berk and Niley (class failed), Ferit Kaya class failed, Korel Cezayirli class failed, and so on. Good actirs having such performance can only be explained with lack of professionalism of the production team. Of course it was cancelled.

Great drama
tejaswinijk28 January 2021
I don't know why this drama has such bad reviews. As a drama lover my expectations are always high and this drama almost full filled my all expectations. The cast is great. The story and plot is well written. The chemistry between the leads is on another level as expected from Berk. I gave it a 9/10 because of the not so necessary family drama scenes although some where important but still I wish there was not too much family thing... But overall it's a very good drama. I definitely recommend watching but be patient may be the first 2 episodes seems boring but then the actual plot starts.
Ending problem
rashikanegi17 May 2023
I like this drama..but sadly...it don't have a happy ending...Elvan struggled her whole life for her children.. Finally after so many years when she finally got her daughter back.... She died in the show ....she even was unable to see his son recover after so many years..She didn't got revenge .. ...when she was going to start her own love story and Fuat was finally going to propose her.she died..there was no need for her to die I don't know why the director choose to let her die. ......Only Atif and seray's love story was good as they finally remarried. So drama was good but ending wasn't...😢
