Esref Rüya

Amazing direction with beautiful exterior shots. The actors have entered their roles 100%. The series combines drama, humor, strong scenes and strong performances that were evident from the first episode. I can't wait for the next episodes.

Cagatay Ulusoy has managed from the first shot to give meaning and depth to the character he plays. His gaze is captivating. It seems that he has worked hard for the role.

Demet Özdemir already has very strong (interpretative) scenes and I admit that it captivated me. It convinced me from the first episode.

The screenwriter has done an excellent job as all the characters are very well written.

51 comments after just 5 episodes??

Why is everything about this series so strange? Why are the ratings either 1 or 10? It feels like there's some bias involved and some people are intentionally giving it a 1-star rating. Even the worst Turkish films and series didn't get so many 1-star ratings after just 5 episodes like this one has.

Please stop this nonsense.

This series has been truly decent for just five episodes, and it probably hasn't even covered 10% of its story yet. How can you judge it so easily?

The directing and cinematography are way above the standard level of Turkish productions.

The acting is outstanding, especially Eshref's character, which suits Cagatay perfectly.

Honestly, it feels like you're criticizing this series out of spite.

All the accounts that gave this series a low rating or a 1 were created in April 2025. Isn't that a bit suspicious?

PLEASE DONT CANCEL THIS SERIES ITS SO GOOD ILL CRY. Its so good but im afriad that the rating is too low it might get cancelled like Ruhun duymaz this series potential. The casting is at its finest this casting comes once in a lifetime. I hope this series goes on and i really like the chemistry between Demit and cagatay they look perfect together one of the best casting i have seen and i also love the backstory we would like to see more of it as the sries CONTINUES. As i said I see the potential of this series its amazing and only 2 episodes are in!! It got my attention. Not boring and not cliche.

Currently watching Esref Ruya and I like it.

Not here to write a review, but comment on the multiple bad 1 star reviews. Everyone can have their opinion but these ones mostly seem to be written by the same person under a different name. Same writing style, same negative points, same wording. After reading a couple it became noticeable. They seem to want to bring the rating down but this person is obviously very biased for whatever reason.

So don't base your watching the series on this. It's well made with very cinematic shots. Great actor line up. The storyline is interesting and the music complements it. Give it a go.

I liked the beginning of "Esref Ruya". There are quite a few storylines that could develop.

I really like the way the narrator works.

He is the one who knows everything about Eshref, his thoughts, motives, knows about events that he was not even a direct witness to. This gives a lot of freedom in the storytelling because it allows us to learn things that would otherwise remain hidden.

Excellent cinematography!

Characters like Esref have some inexplicable appeal-not just because they look strong, but because they exude control, mystery, and self-assurance.

And Cagatay Ulusoy is perfect for this role of a mysterious, domineering man who seems to hold the fate of others in his hands, but cannot control his own.

I hope it continues in the same style. Let's listen to the person telling the story because it adds an emotional layer to the story.

He can make observations and comments that make us look at things from a different perspective.
