This show needed another 30 minutes to be serviceable. Another episodes to be satisfying. And five or six episodes more to be truly wonderful. It's a real pity for the abrupt ending as we all deserved a little bit more. Of the actors, of the characters, of the story. A proper ending.
It has really nicely balanced comedy, romance, drama and action. It has beautiful camera work, though I do have a bit of a bone to pick with the editing. The music is well chosen and catchy. The dialogue sometimes doesn't make sense, but I can't really tell if it's the original writing or just stuff lost in translation. Or both.
What I really appreciated was how the protagonists and all the other characters as well communicated and didn't sit on issues - and there were many and just kept coming, and stew in real or perceived slights. It was refreshing. As was the depiction of female friendship. Or friendship in general.
I really enjoyed all the characters, even the antagonists were a joy to hate. And the actors did a really good job.
I saved the best for last. And that is Leyla and Furkan. They have wonderful timing both comedic and romantic and play off of each other brilliantly. They have so much chemistry they could supply electricity to a middle size country for a year and still have loads to spare. And they are able to create so much romantic tension - or just tension, with just a look or a touch or with moving just so. You would need a chainsaw to cut through it. I really hope someone somewhere very soon realizes all this potential and casts them as leads into another show. It would be a crying shame to waste all the goodness.
