Marasli (2021)
One of the best Turkish dramas I've seen so far
Amazing story and actors! Every episode was exciting and kept me wanting more. The plot unfolded at a decent pace with good twists. I love both the lead actors, but I have to give a standing ovation to Burak. He did as he always does, took my breath away. An absolutely magnificent performance!
The minus one star is just for the writing of Alina's character, at least in the beginning. Mahur was hard to like at the start. I don't get how she didn't understand the gravity of the situation. She literally witnessed an organized murder of a prosecutor, would've been shot to death if Marasli wasn't there, then thought her dad was paranoid for giving her a bodyguard...just made everything difficult because of her stubbornness.
EGO - Erkege Güven Olmaz (2023)
So much potential...wasted
Interesting premise and a great cast but with not-so-great writing and tension behind the scenes.
I know many people don't like the story line because it's "immoral," but that's actually what I find interesting. I like watching dramas for, well, the drama. I want to watch a scenario unfold that I would never be able to see otherwise. All the character's are kinda bad which is why it's so good. It's what makes the story stand out.
However, the writing is what really failed. The episodes quickly became slow and empty. Even Alperen and Melisa couldn't save the script (not that we got to see them that often anyways...). They still had good chemistry, but with all the drama that happened during filming, you can just tell their hearts aren't in it. Of course, as professionals, they can still pull off a spark on camera, but it's nowhere near what they had in Carpisma.
I wish them both better projects in the future!

Love it! But the end :(
Acting and chemistry was great! Exciting show with a pretty good premise. Just too bad it had to end like that. There wasn't enough time to flesh out a proper ending, and they really went with the most tragic and abrupt way possible. There was absolutely no justice for Daghan. He suffered til the very end for something he never did in the first place...
The only thing I really wasn't convinced by is how long it took Selvi to divulge her secret. Sure, she was scared and guilt-ridden, but obviously no one is going to blame a child. She didn't even know what was going on. She was manipulated by her brother and now has trauma from seeing a man get murdered right in front of her.
