This is a short lived Turkish romantic comedy series from 2021 that had 13 episodes in total. Unlike some other romantic comedies, I felt like this series really leaned in to the comedy aspect leaving the audience with a very slapstick-y feel. If I could sum up this show in one word it would be lies. Civan marries his girlfriend because she lies about being pregnant and Semal finds out her doctor fiancé cheated on her on the eve of her family arriving for her graduation...so when the opportunity presents itself she lies about Civan being her fiancé when he is suffering memory loss from a fall. That is how their families get involved. Civan and his brother Okan are competing to be given control of their family company which their father initially says he will give to the first to get married, but then changes it to the first to give him a grandchild.
The lies get thicker and thicker in all the jockeying to keep people from finding out the truth and to get control of the company.
I can't say it was my favorite series but I did really enjoy some of the actors, especially the two fathers who were wonderful...Ugar Cavusoglu and Burak Tamdogan. Their roles were well written, wanting the best for their children and walking that fine line between being supportive and giving the right amount of tough love when necessary.
I really like Semal's sister's wrap up story...and I liked the change in the Civan character (I do like the actor who played Civan and really appreciated him in Vuslat much more than this series, but this jokester role does seem to suit Umit Kantarcilar). This was my first time seeing Sude Zulal Guler, boy is she skinny! But beautiful as well, she pulled off a wide rage of emotions in this series.
This was a hate to love romantic comedy series and shorter for a Turkish show (which might be the biggest selling point). I do think there are much better series out there however...so I am not going to recommend this series, even though it did have a lot going for it.
