The cinematography captures the opulence of the world it portrays, adding a layer of visual poetry to the emotional drama. With a 7/10 rating, Ask-i Memnu is a captivating journey into the complexities of love, where every stolen glance and whispered secret leaves an indelible mark on the heart.

Beren Saat is clearly the heart and soul of this TV show. She is not just devastatingly beautiful, she is also a great actress. I am smitten with her. She is amazing in the role of Bihter, like it was written just for her. If you pay attention to her mimics, her gestures, her delicate face muscles. She expresses those deep emotions with such a precision. She is the Goddess of acting. Everything else fades. What Hollywood, what famous stars? Beren Saat. Period.

I would really like to see more movies or TV shows with Beren Saat in the leading role...

Yes, it's true, Ask-i memnu is not the best show ever, being cheesy sometimes. But all the emotion it evokes, all the passion, the sadness, you can feel it in your bones. Definitely worth watching at least once.

Not only Turkey this is the Best movie love and drama from beginning to end there was fantastic every year I look all episodes

If you are new to Turkish TV series, watch this! You won't regret it.

I liked the first episodes when Behlul and Bihter were falling for each other.

Then Season 1 became like a thriller, you feel scared they get caught everytime they meet.

Season 2 made no sens to me, and the last 10 episodes were so full of unfairness. I couldnt coninue watching.

My favourite episode is the last one. Everyone got what they deserved at the end.

Last scene of Behlul I expected it to be more emotional. But it was the end he deserved pretty much.

The best performance of Kivanc, I think, is in this series. The way he is in love, the way he is scared, the way he lies. I am in love with him.
