There's a good story in this series. Thankfully the series has only 13 episodes or else I won't continue watching it. I'm half way through and there's too much crying and shouting especially from Alev's character. She is the female lead but I can't bring myself to like her. She has too much anger, always act out violently, shouts a lot, blames everyone except herself. So I fast forward a lot when I see her. Too drama Queen. I like Ali Osman's and Adnan's characters. I also can sympathize with Damla's character. The 3 of them makes me continue to watch this series. Zeyneb's character needs to be stronger and grow up. Everyone is hiding the big secret from her and treating her like a child. She cries too much, very emotional and at times timid and at times ungrateful. There's a lot of family drama, secrets and scandals and a few interesting romances in this mini series. Given it is a mini series and the story is good, recommend watching. Feel free to fast forward when you can't stand the crying and shouting. You can still follow the story.
