Gülcemal

This was an extraordinarily plot. It's not only consist about love story. There's a lesson about inner child. How someone mentally affected by someone they loved most in live. U should watch this dizi. It beyond recommended... the plot was amazing and the actor delivers a masterpiece character in every episode. They develop every scene in every episode beautifully, once I tried this dizi will directly got into your live. The scenery, the ambiance, even the song was so amazing. Gulcemal was a bold character, compatible to deva the fierce lady. The supporting cast also build this dizi more perfect.

It is very beautiful and stunning and it is taken from the story of Beauty and the Beast . Morat and Melis are very talented actors with great backgrounds. Murat is a very capable actor he doesn't just play every role, he lives it. I really enjoyed seeing their strong acting and especially the movie scenes. Watching this movie brought back my childhood memories. The scenes of the movie are very well filmed and it looks like a wonderful piece of art. I definitely recommend watching it, you will be captivated by this movie and you don't want to ignore the excellent acting of the actors. I can't wait for the next episodes.

The first episode of this TV series was outstanding, and I am excited to watch the rest of the series. The actors portrayed their roles with subtlety and nuance, making their performances is incredibly. The male and female leads had excellent chemistry. The story was complex, layered, and kept me on the edge of my seat, with a fantastic blend of intrigue, drama, and romance.

I completely understand that some people do not appreciate a good revenge story with intricate and intense emotions. However, for those who do, this TV series is a must-watch. The first episode was not predictable at all, and it kept me guessing until the very end. I did not need to fast-forward through any part of the episode, as every scene was essential to the overall narrative. I am excited to watch the rest of the series and see how the story unfolds.

I am loving this series. I've got my friends hooked on to it too!

I love the chemistry between Deva & Gulcemal and I cannot wait to see them fall more and more in love with each other.

The story line is very unique. Not like your typical Turkish dramas.

Please release more episodes!! I can't wait any longer.

The producers, the actors, the story writers really did a good job in this series. The plot twist is just so good and unexpected!

For those who are not yet certain if they should watch this series or not, TRUST ME. I watched all 4 episodes in one sitting and it did not disappoint.

Give it a shot, you will love it!

I actually really enjoyed this modern Turkish retelling of Beauty and The Beast. Murat Unalmis and Melis Sezen, as Gülcemal and Deva, had amazing chemistry and really made this hate to love series one to watch. The supporting cast was phenomenal and Avda Aksel as Zafer made a wonderful villain in this over-arching story of estranged mother and son. At times it was difficult to watch Zafer being so phenomenally evil...although it did make Gülcemal's wins that much greater. Shockingly, the series had lots of secrets and surprise twists that really kept you coming back for more. This was one 2023 series that I looked forward to every week and was disappointed when it was over. That leads me to the final episode, episode 13...for which I have mixed emotions. I really enjoyed the reunion, which was bittersweet knowing the series was over, but the bits with Zafer felt unbelievable. She was such an evil villain, I would have liked to see something a little more suiting to her big personality.

I was surprised that there was as much violence between the two main characters....stabbing, hitting, shooting, yelling. There are no holds barred in this hate to love.

As a romantic, I love the hate to love genre and I highly recommend this fairly short (13 episodes) Turkish series. Forced proximity and great banter are a signature of the series...but it really is all about Gülcemal and Deva. Romantics will be enthralled. I was inspired to buy the book My Sweet Orange Tree because of the references in this series, a book I had never heard of.

My review is based on watching the series in it's original Turkish language with English subtitles.
