8/10
Very enjoyable ... but
25 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The actors and the characters that they play are well cast and well thought out Nazli (Burcu Ozberk) who is the eldest daughter is a leader and we have her sensitive twin Selin (Hande Ercel) who on moving to Istanbul find love after much hardship and family problems.

The other lead characters such as enemy turned friend Tugce are also great and the storyline is good. I would agree with reviewers that the beginning and end of the series is good especially the wedding of Selin and Ali but the middle dragged and was wooden.

The problems with the series like many Turkish series is that the episodes were far too long ( 2 hours ) and that the story relied too much on circumstance, luck and fantasy to develop. I would off made the story line more down to earth by having the girls move with their parents to Istanbul ( I would off made Haluk officially the biological father) living not in a holiday home but as many middle class Turks would so the audience could relate and from there Nazli and Selin could of met Savas and Ali as they settled. I would also of made their younger sister Peri a brother to add balance. But overall an enjoyable series.
