Çemberimde Gül Oya

Another Masterpiece from genius and talented director-writer Cagan Irmak. Once Upon A time in Turkey.70's...nobody wants to remember and tell.Anarchy,confusion...people, who had judged about their ideas and believes...

First of all "Cemberimde Gul Oya" is not a mini-serie.40 episodes (70-75 minutes).

a story about a time...A story about a love....A story about Turkey,relationship,friendship,solidarity...A story about people who take courage from their loves and believes...written by Cagan Irmak. Great story, acting,art direction,production....And the soundtrack is wonderful.When you watch "Cemberimde Gul Oya",you can not believe that is only a TV drama "Cemberimde Gul Oya" is the best TV drama i have ever watched.CGO created its own fans."Cemberimde Gul Oya" DVD box sets (complete season) released in Turkey.I bought and watched all episodes 2 times.I think Cagan is a very important person,writer,director...

it's one of the best Turkish TV series ever. why? first, the director/writer of the series has not added anything that never took place in turkey, i mean it includes no lies, no exaggerations. second, it is all about Turkish people, the neighbor relations were completely accurate. third, the relationship of the lead characters, yurdanur and mehmet, was not all painted in pink; we could feel that they were real people who had to disagree on some things and have fights from time to time. they were in love, but they were still on earth! fourth, i could always feel that the whole story was written with sincerity, with a purpose to remind Turkish people of their past, and not just with a motivation of earning quick cash. i can go on and on like this, but i think the summary is;thank you cagan irmak! for feeling, and for sharing this with us.

What happened to impossible loves? Is it really exist in these days? Especially between a man known as anarchist and the Turkish deputy's daughter. It is the love story between leftist guy (Mehmet) and also leftist primary school teacher (Yurdanur) by the early time 70's. We see also our times and watch old Yurdanur and Mehmet. Cleverly made scenes, Awesome outfits and environment but the music was poor for those nostalgic scenes. It tells us there is war between leftist and rightist before the military intervention . The story came out from first person by Yurdanur herself. She is sharing the story with her daughter and the spectator. Characters were well fit into story and reflected their feelings exact of that time. Special thanks to Çagan Irmak for making it and made us remember this sad times.

Çemberimde gül oya is a masterpiece. People who want to learn what happened in Turkey in 70's should watch it. Personally, I believe that most of the last episodes or last parts of the movies or films end in a bad way. But in this film, final episode was perfect because you understand that every character and every event is connected to each other and everybody is found by the main character. This makes you surprised. Besides, Çemberimde gül oya manages a person to cry and laugh simultaneously!!! Although its ratings were not that high, this film created its own fans. I want to say thanks to Çagan Irmak for directing such a film.

In my opinion, Çemberimde Gül Oya is certainly one of the best TV series ever, as it shows the plain truths of the tough life in 70's and 80's in Turkey. Every episode displays the real difficulties that Turkish people had faced and had to struggle with. People being killed without a blink just because of their thoughts, no matter women or baby or old.. Some scenes can make you cry and some of them can make you laugh and also think deeply about life. Actors and actresses perfectly matched to their roles and the connection between past and present is marvelously played. Surely it deserves the best comments and it worths watching without missing any second of it. I have to say congratulations for both Çagan Irmak ,the director, and talented actors and actresses.
