It's been a long time since i became an IMDb user and for the first time i couldn't help myself but write a review! I personally volunteer to write English subtitles for this wonderful most amazing TV show I have ever seen in decades.
Coz this show has it all.. It's so cleverly written, acting is amazing and very well directed. It captures you and makes you wanna be a part of it just within a few episodes and you start feeling like these characters are your friends, their problems are your problems and their joys are yours as well. Each and every character has real dept and originality.
It's also unique in a way that it can catch the young audiences' attention like no Turkish series could ever catch before.
I'm thankful for all of the cast and crew for introducing this absurd comedy which is full of clever references, sarcasm and intelligence.
Very well done. Two thumbs up, what the hell i'll just trow in a standing ovation as well. Keep up the good work.

Leyla and Mecnun is a Turkish television comedy series. The series is a surreal and absurd comedy that revolves around the fictional love story between Leyla and Mecnun. I think the best comedy series made in Turkey. I think that really deserve 9 points. I wish I had more. When finished series I felt the lack in my life. Really I miss this series. It was a memorable series for me. My favorite character white beard grandfather and Ismaıl. Dede is a fictional character from Turkish folk tales, and he appears in people's dreams to give them directions and foresight. Burak Aksak really successful a writer. You should definitely watch this series. I would say at least a look... 10/10

This TV-series have a great sense-of-hum-our.
Very smart jokes and excellent script also casting is well.
But some jokes may makes no-sense for non-Turkish people.
You should have some knowledge about recent Turkish news and some knowledge from the past.
As I said, jokes are quite smart so sometimes it is hard to understand also but when you understand you are having a great pleasure.
If you are planning to watch with sub-titles you should look for some information about this cases.
You can also watch this by satellite receiver from TRT (Turkish Radio and Television).
Also you can watch live from the web page of TRT.

This is the most attractive TV series that I have ever seen. The quality of acting and the logic of the writing affect like a magician all of the watchers. I hope it could be infinite!
I know quantity of the expenses are really minimal, but also the the pleasure of spending time with watching that movie can not be defined as well as true.
Everybody should watch this unique cliffhanger if they are ready to watch a real absurd life.
Here we can see the main actors/actresses of this series: Ali Atay, Melis Birkan, Ezgi Asaroglu, Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan, Köksal Engür, Serkan Keskin, Osman Sonant, Ushan Çakir, Asuman Dabak.

It is very nice how they present the meaning of love in this serial. You can easily fall in love by the help of this serial. I would like to thank all Leyla ile Mecnun's team so that they have created such an excellent serial. Subtitled girl is a product of excellent creation of scenarist. I recommend this serial everyone who wants to have fun and drama at the same time using the real elements from life by this serial. Every scenario is well thought. In my opinion, the best part is 38. part. I have watched it many times. You will feel some parts in each character from yourself. and also Ismail abi is the one who is desired by everyone to have such a big-brother who can share and join your feelings sincerely.
I never felt like before while watching a TV series. It makes you wanna laugh while you feel so sad at the same time. Character's joy and sadness are so pure that you feel these feelings inside yourself altogether, like a childhood memory.
It is like a laughter when you see some friend falling accidentally or it is like a sadness when your ice cream slip away from its cone. "Leyla ile Mecnun" is totally surreal and absurd but it is so natural as well.
The bad thing about the series is that some jokes or situations are very local in their content so that they can not be translated fully.

it is the best comedy TV series i have ever watched. It mirrors Turkish daily life and street culture. Relations between neighbours and their behaviors are natural. Main characters's brains work as a child.
Characters in this TV series are anti-hero. Even if all scenario is fantastic, it is like just usual and you don't think they piffle.
Actors are great and they love their characters.
Other characters are also created very smartly, they are really funny. İsmail Abi is the most popular one and he is pure. although everything in TV series was bad, I would watch just for İsmail Abi.
Everyone should watch from first episode to the last one. thanks for reading

This is a most interesting and exciting TV series in Turkey right now. Even if Ezgi Asaroglu left the show, still it didn't lose much from itself and it is still popular TV series in Turkey. The topic that it handles is more like absurd comedy. But it contains laugh, love, and tears. But it has lots of comedy that involves with Turkish language. So if you don't know Turkish, you probably miss the most of the jokes. Ali Atay, Koksal Engur, Cengiz Bozkurt, Mumtaz Taylan, Osman Sonant, Serkan Keskin are great actors, and they plays in cinema and theaters too. However, it has some directing troubles. Especially if Onur Unlu didn't direct the episode, some glitches may stand out in your eyes.
This show is all about cringe. And what makes it even cringe is it's 9 points on IMDB. the show is at best 6 or something. Because, it is trying to hard to be funny but not that funny, most of the episodes are garbage, and there is no story at all. Just three guys talking nonsense all the time. Some people saying this is best turkish tv series is more funny than the show itself, and claiming its best is just being ignorant.

Words are not enough to describe this show. It's more emotional than it's funny. You can watch this show to laugh or cry or not to feel alone.This show will be like your family after 6 episodes or such a number like that. This show is the best Turkish show you might possibly even watch and i think it can compete with most of the Hollywood made up TV-series. I hope they will get a movie soon or at least publish 2 more episodes so that we can see how it really ends.

A lot better of the American Coupling TV series, quality close to British coupling. The best Turkish TV series ever made. I prefer watching this , instead of classical Nbc TV series like How I Met Your Mother. I hope the quality goes on. The series start with a flashback , where we see two babies, who are meant to be together forever , a classical oriental far/middle east story. The background is the Bosphorus and Istanbul.Mecnun is in her mid twenties , still trying to graduate from high school and Leyla is in university, living in a mansion.Arda is the ex boyfriend of Leyla, whose father is doing business with Leyla's father and Leyla's father is in huge depth. He tries to convince his daughter to marry to Arda.Because it is an absurd comedy, you can see Mecnun in space , sometimes Leyla on an island after a plane crash (Oceanic Airways :) ), sometimes a friend of them trying to survive 147 hours on a mountain :)... The series created a huge fan group and still groving .
Series is highly anticipated by an audience who is active in the Internet and social media with relatively "sophisticated" taste. The audience is highly active in social media (especially eksisozluk.com users) try to find the references which are in given in a very high range. From Oz to House, Lost, Godfather, Eternal sunshine on a spotless mind, modern Turkish literature there are lots of references or 80's or 90's popular culture references. The show became very popular and "cult" in a short period of time.
Series are not in the high ranks of rating lists however fans of the show support in every possible way to promote, Monday evening in twitter hashtag with the name of the show becomes trending topic. Director Onur Ünlü definitely has a distinguished taste and you can easily recognise his style and vision. Script writer Burak Aksak has a absurd comedy sense with dialogues in a situational comedy sense which is not something Turkish shows witness.
Most of the actors have theater school background and the show gives them to develop their characters easily and gives more than enough room for improvisations. They perform utterly sensational and the audience feel they love the work the cast performing. Especially Ali Atay, Ahmet Mumtaz Taylan, Serkan Keskin, Osman Sonant, Koksal Engur and Cengiz Bozkurt's performances are top notch. Yet length of the show is too long which sometimes has negative effect over the tempo. Too much references sometimes could be tiring.
Although a substantial portion of the show is aiming Turkish watchers there are very good parts which can be easily understood and laughed by a "foreigner". This is a "must see" show with high taste.

There are a lot of series in Turkey but this one absolutely different. In my opinion, this is the funniest series I have ever seen. The series has its joking and talking style which are really absurd that you can die with laugh.
It is partly romantic because of the history of Leyla and Mecnun characters.
As its series type, it is partly fantastic that makes the series comic. I like it so much because it makes me laugh uncontrollably and I believe that spectators of the series will not get bored.
At first you can't accept it and maybe you can't laugh but if you give some patient, it will definitely prove itself.
Everyone must start to watch it.
They should publish 2 episodes in a week because I can't wait one week to see new episode!!!!

Leyla and mecnun were only two lovers for me until this TV-Series. I do not watch Turkish TV-Series, mostly but for the first time i was fall in love with Turkish TV-Series. I started to watch this series, nearly 5 month after end of series. I am regretful for that.
"Leyla ile mecnun" based on two lovers, originally but in this series there is not only Leyla and Mecnun. There are a lot of character that leads up of series's future. Yavuz ("The Thief"), Erdal ("The Grocer"), Iskender ("The Father"),Ismail ("The Brother"), Dede ("The White- bearded") are also main character. Relationship between them and Mecnun leads to series.
"Leyla ile mecnun" is basically mix of absurd comedy and drama. The logic behind of script is brilliant, they did that most of Turkish TV- series couldn't. They made comedy of good quality. The writer didn't do this by himself, main characters' improvisation made series more hilarious. They did not stick to script, conversations and acting become spontaneous. "Leyla ile mecnun"s drama side is great as like as comedy side. This show can make you cry after a second you can laugh. The actors and actress, acting is amazing and also especially Ismail character make you cry and laugh at same time a lot.
Whom want to watch Turkish series, definitely watch this.

How does this show have a 9 rating on IMDb? HOW?
I don't understand what's so amazing about this Turkish series, there are WAY better Turkish shows out there that are actually funny instead of being unintentionally hilarious with 'Leyla ile Mecnun's incredibly awkward romance! The characters are forgettable, the dialog is boring and the story goes no where. There is no direction here and nothing about it that makes it unique.
I got no sense of adventure at all and the only surprise I got was from the high rating on this website that is massively undeserving. At least the acting was good but unfortunately that's not enough to warrant it this current status!

I didn't watch A Turkish TV serial which is that much fun and dramatic at the same time. The jokes are very high on level and they are very absurd. But the emotional scenes just crash your mind and suddenly you realize how the life is. But in a second while you are realizing you begin smiling because of the jokes. That is the big difference of this love story serial 'Leyla and Mecnun'. Thanks a lot for your hard-work to all of the Leyla and Mecnun cast. And the actors and actresses are very talented. I don't know how do they do that but they are acting very well they are playing instruments well. For example the lead actor Ali Atay sings the soundtracks of the series at the same time he composes some of them. I love them all.
