Asmali Konak

I think Asmali Konak is Turkey's best tv-series ever made. I haven't watched it from the beginning and now I am watching from the replays and I really appreciate all the people who made this series. I became an addict of this series very fast. The last episode will be on theaters this fall.

I think Asmali Konak was a great film although compared to its storyline i think it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the series,except the fact she had cancer.But it was a good movie i would say compared to other Turkish movies it was really good.I love that they uses Americans in this movie they made a sad story also funny at times but it had the a very sad story to it.I loved the Characters especially Nurgul Yesilcay,she was absolutely gorgeous.I loved the setting..they made it more appealing compared to the series.ALthough i think the movies should have started exactly where they left off in the movie but they still could have explained the whole storyline and show what they were doing after the airport check in.

This production looks like famous tv series of 70's ''Dallas''in USA. A typical turkish town in central anatolia.A great family is master of everything such as lands, forests, hills,farms.But they lives in a very bad conditions.there are lots of ironies in asmali konak.they 're village people but they can speak turkish very well although english. The head of the family is seymen agha (animated by ozcan deniz,famous folk singer in Turkey.)is dominate every thing.He is very strong and handsome character.Another important characters are animated by nurgul yesilcay.selda alkor and ipek tuzcuoglu.This tv serie shows the realities of Turkey.

Asmalý Konak, can be described as a Turkish life isolated from all other Turkish lives, which is set in one of the magical places of Turkey Kapadokya(Capadoccia). Seymen is the classic, handsome, affective Anatolian man, successfully acted by Özcan Deniz. Bahar is an art student in New York when they first meet. Bahar has eyes as green as the greenest trees of forests and she doesn't rely on many people, especially men. But when they see each other in a New York cafe, they know that their love will confront all the obstacles waiting them in the future.. Turkish people, very faithfully, even set their activities according to the times of Asmalý Konak, so they wouldn't miss a moment of love and passion(well sometimes the opposite)actually of Seymen and Bahar=).

Besides this amazing love, many messages are given to Asmalý Konak watchers; some about women, some about love and some about Turkey.

Seymen's family members all have their problems of their own which is told sometimes in ironic or sarcastic ways. They live in a big stone Capadoccian house called "konak" (sorry ý don't know how to describe it but its really wonderful which is one of the factors why the series is so magical :)) Asmalý Konak-the movie-is designed to be the last episode of the series came to the cinemas. Although it was supposed to be better, the cinema-goers were a bit disappointed, ý thought it was very good, though not as good as the series. Thanks to Çaðan Irmak, he's a great director, always making us,Turkish people happy with every work he does..

I have not been able to watch every series of this Turkish TV serial. But once I started watching it, I took an immediate liking to it. It is different from those Korean-made soap operas like 'winter sonata' or 'summer scent'. It describes life and experiences of a prominent family in a small Turkish town, its success and failures, and relations with people from outside.When I was watching it, I had a kind of deja vi feeling, I felt like once I have been a part of it. It feels so close to me, I don't know, maybe this is because I am Turkic (Uzbek) myself. Anyway, most people in Uzbekistan could not go away from TV-screens when it was on.
