Review of Gelin

Gelin (2024– )
5/10
Slow and Painful to watch. Endless stares and flashback
7 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The writers were lazy. I feel sorry for the actors, they didn't have much to work with. Very slow, very frustrating, half the series is looong cringey stares and flashbacks.... Overdone story line but the writers could have tried harder. FL was obviously chosen for looking like Ozge Yagiz, she's the eternal victim with zero personality. Male lead is the typically CEO macho man who despite running a company has no emotional awareness and easily manipulated by everyone around him, standard cruel controlling mother in law, obsessed mentally unstable relative/ ex wife.... You need patience to get through this one. The story line is similar to Adini Sen Koy which was 100 times better because the female lead had a personality. Also watching Kizil Goncalar, much better series, I'm hooked. I watch this as I wait for more episodes. Female characters who have inner strength and a little fire are much more interesting, not just playing victim and endless tears.

Edit: Now at episode 15, increased my rating by a point because the FL got some fire and told off the ML.
