Baht Zamani

Honestly after following a good number of Turkish romcoms, I have noticed only some on them tend to stick to their theme of being a romcom, whereas most of them enjoy basking over the ocean of emotion or drama, because Drama is indeed very enticing. However, in a world of pandemic packed with back to back doses of drama, this dizi (series) is so endearing to watch. Firstly the show is in it's 3rd episode, yet it has covered all the romcom tropes we have desired in our past favourite shows. 2nd and very importantly, kudos to the writers for being able to deliver some serious emotion evoking issues through a jovial and playful platform. That actually makes you stronger to face those real circumstances, instead of sitting down with boxes of tissues.

Finally, the show is a romcom to it's very deep end. That is apart from the storyline focusing on the rendezvous of the pair, it will make you laugh like crazy.

To sum up here is the storyline- With the developing trend of attaining citizenship, many marry for it. Just like that a girl happens to marry a boy to grant him immigration. However, it is in about days when she discovers the boy who she is married to and happen to worship is sort of in an affair with another woman from his company. To save her marriage, she decides to get work in that company, only to meet the man who she actually falls for. Yes the very clichéd boss- assistant romance. However it is packed with volumes of laughter rather than the typical eye glances. Also here is the actual twist, the woman who had an affair with her husband, is actually head over heels in love with this boss in the company. So yeah, it's a love triangle. However, it's so refreshing to watch. And it makes you question yourself about serious things in life, for example are we actually in love with a person we think we are in love with?

Do tune in every Tuesdays on Kanal D to watch it live at 8pm. And if you don't understand Turkish, watch it with subtitles.
