Sühan: Venganza y amor

Enthralling and passionate. This was one of those rare stories that touch your heart if you like thoughtful and deep storylines. A classic story of revenge but with a twist in which the main characters actually get to act like real people. The love story between the leads is incredibly complex and intense. The conflict of the love story was internal with the leads battling their own demons instead of external factors keeping them apart. How do you stand by the man that wants revenge against a father you have loved all your life? Can you give up avenging your family for the woman you love? Its that constant conflict that tears them up inside. It was hard to watch them push each other away at times knowing how much they hurt themselves and each other. It wasn't a fairytale story but it was a love worthy of a fairytale. A type of story that makes you believe in the power of love.

Aesthetically one of the best looking shows. The two main stars are absolutely gorgeous together. The supporting characters are equally complex and varied. The twists and turns were surprising and unique. One of the best shows I have watched in any genre!

Romantic. Heart-wrenching. Passionate. Riveting.

Cesur ve Güzel (Bold and Beautiful) embodied those attributes and more. I was hooked from the first episode— the first scene, really.

As always, the performance of lead actor Kivanc Tatlitug is outstanding. His uncanny ability to project emotion through body language and facial expression is like looking through a window into his soul. I could feel what he was feeling—whether it was gut- wrenching pain as he mourned loss, or fuming rage as he confronted the man who destroyed his family. He's the best actor I have EVER seen.

What I loved:

•Explosive premise •Great acting of Kivanc Tatlitug •Flashbacks and close up camera for romantic moments •A satisfying ending •Romance without steamy bedroom scenes

What I wasn't so fond of:

•Some weak plotting/writing around episode 23 •Repeated music tracks

Concluding thoughts:

For the most part, the show kept me on the edge of my seat. As an author, I learned a lot about plotting, pacing, and emotion. As a viewer, I was taken through a full gamut of emotions—fury over injustice, crushing disappointment of hard truth, and the swoony thrill of being in love. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like romance, you'll probably enjoy this too. But I warn you... It's hard to watch just one episode! (This review is an excerpt from my full review on my website's Turkish Drama blog.)

Frankly speaking, I didn't expect much before watching this. But, due to many people give good reviews about this drama, I wanted to give it a try. Yeah, from the first episode, I gotta say I got absorbed and absorbed and finally I finished watching all of the episodes. It was incredibly fascinating and thrilling at the same time. Thumbs up!!!
