The actors have clearly nailed their characters to perfection (Although the male lead does lack expression range- he looks like he is in physical pain all the time). From vamps to protagonists each makes you involved with their journey. The most irrelevant and honestly the most annoying actor is the one who plays Merve's character. Would definitely like to see the series pick up on pace of story line as the pace is too slow - and the parallel stories need to be more crisp as they do not add to the main story frame. The director is clearly limited as he is unable to bring out the full potential of the story to keep it gripping. The lead characters definitely have strong chemistry and that comes across in their roles. The fashion definitely needs a review. ( I mean what was with Orhans entry - he looked least enigmatic! )The only one who has a solid fashion statement is the aunt. Overall definitely going to continue to watch the series.

The series give me vibes of "Beauty & The Beast". Same kind of storyline. A beautiful girl continuously tortured by a angry beast. But the girl is so pure by her heart that after facing all kind of mental & physical torture she didn't even have any hatred towards the beast. The beast is also blind by his nature, because he couldn't differentiate between truth & lies in his open eyes.

I want to give 5 rating to the drama.

1st for the female lead.

2nd for the background music.

3rd for the close camera angle.

4th for some scenic views.

5th for the little bit of love chemistry between lead actors.

I would like to clarify why I deducted another 5 rating.

1st for the same revenge stories that we continuously seen from last 4 to 5 years in Turkish drama. Don't know when it gonna end.

2nd for the poor supporting actors in the drama.

3rd for the screenplay of the drama.

4th for the below par direction.

5th for the other characters/stories continued with the main story makes the drama too bored sometime.

If you're beast enough & feel yourself good by terrifying your victims then this drama is perfectly made for you. Otherwise don't watch if you have a weak heart.

P. S :- Female lead's pain & crying may give you a real nightmare, So be prepared before give it a try.

This drama can be narrowed down to less than 20 eps instead of 100+ of eps. This is what i think: 1. Dragging plots. One arc can be as long as 4-5 eps, for what?

2. Too many unnecessary flashback. Sometime the flashback repeated over and over. This one contributes to long duration 3. Repeated plot pattern. Its always the same: Halil full of hatred > blame it to Zeynep > found out he's wrong > feeling guilty > get back to revenge 4. Why EVERYTIME Halil and Zeynep talking is always so close? Their nose almost touch, is like only 3 inch apart? I know it's for intimacy and romance thing, but come on... Diamonds are pricey because of rare. They did it EVERY SECOND THEY MET, so it lost the "scarcity".

Well, despite all that the acting is great, especially the main cast. This is the reason i watch the show.

I've noticed this company has two separate stories going at the same time. I wish they'd just focus on one and eliminate the other. I always have to fast-forward. I feel that the whole cast is good. The constant loud score is a little too much it reminds me of the movies with no voice and the dramatic looks. They have to rethink the editing of the episodes a little. In any series or movie the editing is very important. The story is good I'm curious which direction it will take. Writers have their work to do.

Live to see the couple together but it's not an easy do. One has to be a very forgiving saint.

Idk why ppl are writing bad reviews here but the series is excellent!! And I am an avid Turkish series watcher and watched so many series and this one stands out among my top favs... Both the lead actors have done a marvellous job!! The chemistry is to die for...Yes, some sequences of torture and confusion are repetitive in the beginning episodes but it gets better with the time...You won't regret watching this especially if u haven't watched Kan Cicekleri ( storyline resemblance is obvious) you will love this series...The lead pair is just too good ! Side characters also have done a decent job.
