Yasak Elma (English title: Forbidden Apple) is a Turkish television series created by Medyapım, starring Şevval Sam and Eda Ece. It was written by Melis Civelek and Zeynep Gür, and directed by Neslihan Yeşilyurt for three seasons, by Murat Öztürk in the fourth season and by Ece Erdek Koçoğlu from the fifth season.^[1]

Yildiz and Zeynep are sisters living together and their financial situation is not good.

Each of them has different dreams and aspirations. Yildiz strives to be very rich and respectable. She adores the upper class and dreams of being a part of it. Zeynep is a modest girl and happy with her financial situation and social status. She does not care about money and property, but about justice and love, and she is happy in her life.

The story begins when Yildiz (Eda Ece) meets Ender (Sevval Sam), a very noble woman from the upper class, while Yildiz works as a hostess in a restaurant, the noble Ender offers her a job as the head maid at the mansion. Yildiz is very excited and agrees while Zeynep is really unhappy with the idea and even opposes it.

After a few days, Yildiz arrives at Ender's house and marvels at her wealth. She sees how Ender hosts her wealthy friends in her home, her dresses, bags and jewelry, and even her husband, Halit Argon, and she marvels at his kind treatment of Ender.

Ender certainly plays a noble and elegant woman, but she hides many secrets. She accepts Halit's humiliations and contempt because she knows that if her husband does not want her anymore, they will divorce and she will lose the comfortable life she is used to and her social status on which she labored for many years and she worries that the Halit will turn their common son against her.

Soon, Yildiz begins to like the Halit. Ender realizes that Yildiz is dreaming of a luxurious lifestyle so she decides to offer Yildiz a deal to flirt with her husband and be his mistress, so that she will have the proof that Halit is cheating on her with another woman. Yildiz does what Ender tells her out of admiration for her but soon she gets tired of it and she tells Halit everything about what happened.

After a while, Halit cheats on Ender with the help of children and they get divorced.  He takes all of her resources from Ender and sends her to live with her brother in the slum she came from, but Ender has not yet said the last word, and she vows revenge on Halit and Yildiz.

After Ender's defeat, Yildiz manages to persuade and seduce Halit to marry her and wins the life of wealth she so desperately wanted.

Later in the series, the past sediment of Yildiz and Ender returns to their lives, the lost son of Ender she has been searching for years.

At the end of the second season Shahika (sister of father’s lost son of Ender) joins.

Yildiz's divorcee arrives unexpectedly and plans plans together with Ender, and Yildiz's father, who did not know he was alive, arrives to demand money from her.
