lousy acting and script ! This Dizi needed a depth !
6 September 2023
Some reviews here mentioned this as the best Dizi with great story which should be free of any cliches , If this is true then it's really tragic , the plot is about immature couple , cheating , love triangle , a girl who has never been touched by another man , a rich playboy who's sleeping with multiple women and then he comes to the FL and say " what i had with these women is different as with what i have with you". Bla bla bla ... Okay I'm sorry but this show didn't offer anything new and I did watch this before , I'm also so shocked that some people praised on how strong the FL is when the whole show practically the ML is playing football with her , abusing her mentally , cheating on her left and right , i personally think she's a plain whiny with zero intelligence like cmon girl, your husband is a literal cheater , he's chasing his ex girlfriend fully knowing that he's a married man and you still have the nerve to only blame her I was sick of her acting all high and getting batshit crazy over her husband's mistresses like Instead go hate on your husband , I can accept a little toxicity but what this man did turned my stomach , I tried to understand her decisions and her feelings but I just couldn't empathize with her and feel her strength .

I have no problem with the people who love the show and enjoy it Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but if you're tryna sell me the fact that this drama is a beautiful redemption psychological story filled with well developed characters and a thoughtout plot line , I'm going to tell you to touch grass . It makes me wonder the sanity of the writers and producers who said it's based on true story Because if these are the ways people and society is in Antep maybe something needs to be done to cut them off from the rest of the world , They never take mental health and deep real life issues such as abuse, violence , cheating , mental illness seriously , they always play dumb when it comes to serious topics , they don't seem to address it at all , the FL was sold to the ML by her father and the ML never got tired of throwing this on her face as an insult , Do you really think that in real life a good and healthy relationship can develop out of something like this ? Also the main couple never banged each other and when they decided to do it was in the ML's brother funeral day ? It was so disgusting And the FL healed from all her traumas uncluding her childhood ones by being kissed and banged by the Ml ?

The premise was promising and the synopsis looked pretty good, so I set myself to have a good time and expected a mature, deliciously angsty Dizi to hook on to , I thought it was supposed to be about different people who are going through a rough time with their particular journey but i'm disappointed , quickly it became an unbearable repetitive plot line involving more verbal and mental abuse of any show I've ever seen , The story centered around fighting , weird conversations in the dinner table and normalising cheating ,The treatment of women is poor , There's so much shouting and pettiness and lack of growth in this drama and I had to watch the leads alternately act like idiots , sometimes act like idiots together , as I kept watching I started to get more and more irritated and frustrated , the show begins to drag afterwards and the story didn't meet my expectations , I just hate every trope this drama decides to utilize From immature leads who cannot stand each other , a douchey father who only looks out for his own benefit, a male lead who can't get over a girl from his past , I finished the season in two days and I skipped a lot without even missed anything important , i only finished it to get rid of it and because i was bored , I certainly will not watch the second season .

Th plot and the story : messy and nonsensical , The plot shows that the showrunners didn't know exactly what they wanted this series to be, so they mixed everything together in an unsatisfying way , sometimes it's a Romcom , Sometimes it's an action series , Sometimes it's a revenge story ,Sometimes, it's trying to be an analogy to cinderella , and kept flip-flopping , The rest of it I'd say the dinner table is the main character of the show .

So many filler episodes , the plot holes are terrible that at some point I totally stopped believing the story , having one or two flaws is ok , but in Yali Capkini there's a never ending chain of plot holes , They probably noticed they got popular and think anything works , They focus a lot on visuals and on showing skin, both of which seem to work at getting an audience .

Romance : Laziest writer ever , instead of intimate scenes the couples need way more dialogue , Their relationship makes practically no sense , they didn't show why the ML fell for FL, or the process of recognizing his feeling, properly , One day he was obsessed with the ex girlfriend and refuses to let her go and the next day he was deeply in love with his wife , I also really can't understand why the FL fell in love with him maybe because of his fortune !

Weirdest romance ever between the second couple absolutely zero buildup, zero chemistry, zero feelings , It makes zero sense , the taxi driver fell too fast and too hard for the sister and I felt it was completely unfounded , their only job is to accompany the main couple all the time in their trips .

Regarding the fight sequences, I think they are poorly done and corny ,a lot of the brawls look and feel very fake and not the ML with his belly-fat and his tinny friend are beating and gainning fights against muscular men .

The characters and acting : the character development is one of the biggest things a lot of people look forward to in a tv show , I personally like complex, wounded characters who're almost unforgivable but at the very least I want them to be well written in order to understand their reasons but here all of them are stupid and rotten to the core literally no one is beyond to my liking , The acting of some actors is absolutely horrendous like Suna and Orhan their acting felt expressionless, rigid and lacked the right emotion for the scenes , the other actors aren't great as well except Halis , Hatus , Kazim , Ifakat , Asme , ( i can't judge the brother's wife since she had no scenes i can't even remember her name ) I had a hard time to watch the other characters acting , i also don't feel the dynamic between the families members , there is no trait of resemblance between the FL and the rest members of her family not to mention that it's hard to watch whenever it comes to Fuat and his parents scenes, they all look in the same age and could be brother/sister instead.

The ML : He's a cringe-worthy and useless crybaby who can't solve a single problem on his own without his family come to help him . I literally felt like I was watching a temperamental 5-year-old who lost his favorite toy or who wants someone else's toy and who will stomp around and pout until they get what they want , and I got so sick of his clownery , his acting skills are okay but not the best .

The FL : childish FL that I've ever seen she's so stupid and easily to be manipulated by the ML , out of all the FLs characters hers was the most unclear , Is the character supposed to be ambitious ? Cute ? Feisty? Stubborn? Charming? Naive? Bold? It's almost as if there's no planning in her character , Just threw anything on and went with it , about her acting , i don't like her crying scenes i didn't know if she's crying or laughing but i guess she found a solution by hiding her face with a pillow or ruins her eyeliner , i also can't feel the sparks in her eyes of being in love for the first time , she just looks horny all the time .

The side characters : wayward , irrelevant , boring don't contribute anything to the storyline , they were just thrown out of the plot and killed for convenience or I'd say to keep the story going as I don't think they had anything more to offer .

The only good thing about this Dizi is the soundtracks ! If you like the teenage toxic love stories where you don't have to think too much then this could be for you. If not, you aren't really missing much and you could probably play this in the background while you're doing something else .
