Jeyran

Well it's based on true events and it makes it even more satisfying. It's a mixture of history, royalness, politics and love with great character development... Parinaz Izadyar portraits Khadijeh/Jeyran so well! The soundtracks are on of the best things about this show! The clothes and everything look so good too. But sometimes, it might get boring since it's based on true events. But it's easy anyway to fall in love with the plot and some of characters. At this time I'm writing these, there are not many episodes out yet and I hope it goes on like these or even better.

Jeyran tells a fictional story from the historical events after the death of Amir Kabir and focuses on the fate of Jeyran, one of the concubines of Naser al-Din Shah's harem. The series depicts a forbidden love, power struggles in the court, political conspiracies and intrigues, and a picture of court life in the Qajar era.

Jeyran is a well-made and entertaining series that, despite some weaknesses, has managed to attract many viewers thanks to its strong direction, acceptable acting, and engaging storytelling. If you are looking for a series that tells a romantic and adventurous story in the setting of the Qajar era, Jeyran can be a good choice for you.

This series is not what I expected. It fails in keeping the audience eager to watch the next episodes. It just enjoy some beauties. The beauty of women, clothes, locations like Golestan palace. The only attractive elements for me are these mentioned factors. The storyline is just a weak one. Full of cliches. No creativity and novelty. No rich dialogue. The act of Bahram Radan is too weak. But Merila Zaree and Parinaz Izadyar's performances are just perfect. I expected a rich series just like Shahrzad which was the best work of Fathi but I think Shahrzad was highly rated for its rich scenariyo by Naghme Samimi and Fathi which was full of novelty and deep words and dialogues.

In the beginning of the series, most of the events are based on reality but as the series moves on, you start to realize that a lot of things are inaccurate compared to reality. For instance, the character Siavosh is completely made up and the war between Ghajar and Zand didn't actually happen during the rule of Naseredinshah. What is also very disappointing is the fact that this series is called a historical one and more than half of the events are not even close to reality. And don't even get me started on the ending, I won't spoil it for anyone but it was horrible and again very off and inaccurate. If you're looking for a historical one, this is not for you but it makes for a nice fictional romance.

Like the Shahrzad series, you are supposed to get excited about watching a dreamy love in the first episode, and in the next episodes, all your feelings and moods will be kicked out. Do not waste your time.
