These two fine Turkish specimens are filling my Pinterest feed this morning and I am NOT complaining. HELLO FRIDAY!!

[middle-eastern-queen]

I was rewatching Senden Daha Guzel, and this man is legit sooooooo gorgeous? Like we moved on very fast from him and we shouldn't have. His acting is great too. He deserves so much more than he's getting. He should be the main lead in every turkish show right now.

The Dizi Tag Game

1. Your first dizi & how you discovered Turkish dramas 

The first dizi I ever watched (that was not dubbed and shortened) was Sen Çal Kapımı in 2020. I binged 7 episodes only to discover it was currently on-air, and by then I was hooked so while waiting for episode 8 to air, I started Her Yerde Sen, lol. So, to sum up, SÇK is how I started my dizi adventure, and HYS was the first show I ever watched in its entirety. Both were good decisions. 🤗

Ironically, 2 years later I still haven’t seen Bizim Hikaye which is what I was trying to watch when I came across SÇK’s significantly captivating poster. 

2. Show(s) you’re currently watching 

Ooof, I wasn’t sure I’d watch any new ones, but now I am and it’s too much, but it’s a hyperfixation, so, 🤷‍♀️. Anyway, I’m watching Afili Aşk, Seversin, and, Senden Daha Güzel currently. 🙈 Oh, and Inadına Aşk, which is basically my “I don’t really care about you, and can’t concentrate on shows I watch for fun rn but I’d like some background noise on so you’ll have to do” watch. 😂

3. Your favorite genre of dizi (romcom, mafia show, contemporary drama, historical/fantasy, etc.) 

Romcom (shocker, I know 😱).

4. The show you rewatch (parts of) the most 

Her Yerde Sen, Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir, & Seviyor Sevmiyor.

5. Favorite Turkish actor and actress (feel free to pick multiples) 

Kerem Bürsin, Çağlar Ertuğrul, Engin Öztürk, Burcu Özberk, Elçin Afacan, Demet Özdemir, Yusuf Çim, & Elçin Sangu. 

6. A show you quit before finishing 

Kiralık Aşk, Aşk Yeniden (idk, maybe I’ll watch it completely someday), Gülümse Yeter, and El Kızı.

7. Favorite song(s) you’ve discovered in dizis 

Güneş + Aşk Lazım – Aydilge

Sen Çal Kapımı – Başak Gümülcinelioğlu

Olamazsan Olmaz – Güliz Ayla

Aşk Mı Lazım – Buray

Beni Biraz + Bakma Bana Öyle – Nova Norda

Ne Olur Kal – Tuana

8. The show whose plot disappointed you the most 

Kiralık Aşk. El Kızı. To be fair, each dizi, at some point, disappoints.

9. A show that was cancelled too soon / ran too long - 

I think Iyi Günde Kötü Günde deserved a few more episodes; it had potential. And call me biased, but Ateşböceği was a fairly sweet series and should’ve run longer. 

Kusura bakma, but Kiralık Aşk ran way too long. 

10. Favorite Character(s) 

Serkan Bolat, Barış Tunahan, Kerem Yiğiter, Ayşe Yiğiter, Demir Erendil, İbrahim Tunç (Ibo in HYS), Melo (SÇK), Gölge/Adem (50m2).

11. Your favorite romantic pairing(s) 

Serkan Bolat & Eda Yıldız – Edser

Demir Erendil & Selin Sever – Seldem

Barış Tunahan & Zeynep Göksu – Zeybar

Ozan & Deniz – Bay Yanlış

Kerem & Ayşe Yiğiter – Afili Aşk

12. Favorite side character(s) 

Volkan (Afili Aşk) & Ozan (Bay Yanlış – honestly, liked him more than the male lead), Melo & Fifi (Sen Çal Kapımı), Emine (Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir), and Deniz (Bay Yanlış).

13. Best kiss  

As someone who looks away or skips these scenes 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈, I’ll do my most favourite love confessions from diziland (which, I know, no one asked for) instead. 

This entire scenario, from Serkan chasing after Eda to the actual confession will always be number 1 for me. Always! Serkan’s frustration, exasperated fondness translating into that “deli gibi aşık oldum”? Gold! 😍

Next up are my second most favourite confessions: Kerem’s sweet, wholesome confession with the swan origami and then Ayşe with the angsty reveal in response to Kerem’s confrontation. These two pulled it off so well! ❤️

14. An underrated show more people should watch 

Her Yerde Sen.

Seviyor Sevmiyor (it has moments where you’d be annoyed, but the two mains have really good chemistry and they’ve done angst well). 

Seversin, being a currently on-air show, deserves more attention because it’s a lighthearted watch, even if there’s not much new there – which I believe is the way of dizis lol. Ilayda and Burak are doing a good job, BTW. 

15. A show everyone loves that you aren’t interested in 

Erkenci Kuş.  

16. A show you want to recommend right now 

I’d say watch Seversin, and Senden Daha Güzel. Good shows, good acting, even greater potential. I’d like to see each reach at least 13 episodes before cancellations. 

17. The next show on your list 

I think I need to finish the off-air dizis, like Afili Aşk (and many more), before I watch anything else. 😂

@thescorpioracer tagged me in this ages ago (like last year, perhaps) and I'm embarrassingly late to doing this, but here I am. So, thanks for the tag!

Anyone following me who wants to join in, consider yourself tagged, please!

Why did they make it a point to hide whomever showed up to comfort Bilge after Kadir's death? Who was he?

I want to know right now, but I know that's not happening. *sigh* I mean, they only showed someone hugging her from the side and we only got to see the hands (which seemed like a man's), but why are they hiding him? Is he from Salih's team or something?

Also, I love how in episode 2, every time Nisan showed up at the restaurant, whoever was sitting next to Özgür would just change seats so Nisan could sit next to him. 😅❤️ Found it sweet. And I really like that the team is aware of those two and whatever's brewing between them, and are clearly in favour of it.

One last thing, considering how hard episode 3's fragman is pushing the ! Mert is Salih's child ! agenda, I feel like it's a misdirect. I mean, Mert is very clearly the most obvious choice. But it could very well also be Nisan (or Özgür, for that matter). However, sometimes in these cases shows do end up going with the most obvious choice, too. So, low-key excited to watch this secret unravel.

Wait...what?😂😂😂

Kubilay and Mert Demir fought? At a party? Because Mert Demir and Afra were being "close" (whatever that means?)? Lmao and Yikes...

I feel bad for Mert Yazıcıoğlu in all of this (Afra's actual boyfriend, they've been together for years now), poor guy wasn't even there... and had two guys fighting cause of HIS girl... it's such a mess. I hope it was a misunderstanding on Kubilay's part, and no "sincerity" or "closeness" actually took place cause that would be ugly given that she has a long time partner. 😬

But like, regardless, how is this Kubilay's business? Like this is so random 🤣🤣🤣
