Based on true events. Shocking!

Edit: Wow, did this series surprise! It was beyond irritating in the beginning but as it evolved and the characters grew and changed, it became one of the best series so far. Even Ferrit, whom I despised in the beginning, I now love. I feel for the family having gone through so much intrigue with so many enemies. Many made from their own doing but nonetheless. Now can't wait for every week's episode.

This is base on true events, so it's not the writers thinking up sick people, there really were these sick people. The adults are all insane and the children suffer because they are used as puppets...one wants money, the others have a feud. They are beyond sick and demented. They have destroyed their own children's lives. Fuat died because of the evil adults. And then they have the audacity to blame the children who are the victims. Narcissists they are, from the old aunt of Suna & Seyran to Ferit's evil, wicked grandfather who should've died from that heart attack to give his family a chance at a happy life. Evil monster.

Ferit has many personalities and it flips between bad boy, good boy, jerk, hero...very confusing. It seems he his maturing as the show progresses and he is realising his mistakes and wants to change, but the crazy women around him won't allow him...from Ifakat, to Pelin, to Pelin's mother, Sultan and Seyran. The sins of his past keeps haunting him.

Seyran also flips between wise girl, very immature, utterly confused, then levelheaded. She doesn't want Ferit, yet she is in love with him. Her pride and un-forgiveness is the reason her marriage is breaking up and also the reason her wack-job of a father wants to sell her to what seems like a man who will physically abuse her. She doesn't want that but also won't hold onto Ferit (whom she loves) who is seemingly her only option out. She is very immature and stupid in this regard.

Seyrran and Suna can do something but choose to stay victims. Episode 29...at this point Seyran and Suna deserve everything that will happen to them from this point onwards. Suna could say no. So weird...they ask if the person gets married by force. If they only look at their faces, they would get the answer. But no...keep burying their head in the sand.

Even though so many topics in this series are very infuriating, it still is a gripping series and the actors are doing a brilliant job at portraying these characters.

Edit: Episode 51 WOW!! I got angry with Seyran because she really doesn't see how hard Ferit tries for their relationship. Yes, he made mistakes, but he's also surrounded by people who plays with him like a toy, manipulating him. He really did change and became an upstanding man. But on the other hand she is also correct in feeling the way she does. And very courageous for saying the things she did. The last scene was superb! I think I stopped breathing.
