I love this show! Can't wait for it every week!! Both the leads are good in their parts and Deniz is a favorite since "The Girl I Loved." There's a good villain, some silly girl stuff, some beautiful scenery and a perfectly adorable little boy!! What more could you ask from a dizi?

Being a Turkish drama addict I can say this is the best one I have ever seen. The acting (by all the cast - not just Halit and Berguzar) is superb, the plot is riveting, the surprise plot twists are shocking, and the history behind this tale is extremely interesting. It has led many (including myself) to investigate Turkish history during WWI and the Mustafa Kemal Ataturk years. Halit Ergenc is absolute magic in this role. He elicits a reaction with one facial twitch that might take other actors 10-12 lines of dialog. He has to be the premier Turkish actor of this era. Pairing him with his real-life wife, Berguzar Korel, works like a charm in this series. They play off each other so, so well. I cannot recommend this drama high enough. It's wonderful.
