Amor y castigo

It's a low budget production but boy, who cares?! The story is compelling, though it draws on a bit long. The wait is worth it!

This was the first Turkish drama I watched so it has a special place in my heart. However, it's definitely not the best out there. The storylines do drag on and the characters can be really illogical in their decision making, but overall its not bad. Murat Yildirim (savas) and Tomris Incer (sahnur hanim) both gave steller performances and honestly were the best part of the show. The plot line is interesting and delves into certain customs and traditions in Turkey and other parts of the middle east. Despite the love story being a major part of the show, it was one of the least interesting parts for me personally. I would say the first half of the show was its peak.

I started watching this series and it got very long and boring and simply stopped watching it. I don't understand why these series just keep going on and on. Just seemed like a low budget series dorry.

Great tradition vs modern story! Murat yildirim and Tomris Incer are amazing!! Awesome acting. Feride cetin good as well... but the leading actress I felt was terrible. She was a poor match for Murat and in my opinion just could not hold the leading role:( was the weak point for sure. Also was slow and dragging towards the end and camera was too shaky. But still overall good show.

My first Turkish series was The End. Then, I watched Ezel and fell in love with it. The series had everything, romance, betrayal, vengeance, great script, and scenery was fantastic! After that, there were more... too much to name! All of them great. What a difference with US series where some only shot in a studio.
