Asmali Konak

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.

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 Turkish series is filled with attractive characters, both good-looking and each (even a would-be assassin)have some endearing characteristic. The rich and their servants interact in absolutely beautiful natural outdoor scenes and beautifully decorated indoor locations. The Turkish rugs decorating the homes are lovely. There are many sweet moments as well as anxious exciting ones. The Turkish landscape, scrumptious food, restaurants, cafés and hotels are inviting. There is romance a plenty for all ages such as college student, newlywed and December-December loves. I enjoy a lot the taste of magic and telling the future in some episodes. There is everything from crime suspense to old fashioned herbal healing to marital spats all available here for an enjoyable escape Deep in the East.

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.

I have never seen a Turkish TV series before and I turned on from series 8 by accident one night and started from there. I did miss out a few but plan to buy the whole DVD set later to watch again. As an Asian and living in the Netherlands, the Dutch sub-titles helped me to understand the culture of the Turkish people. The characters of the actors and actresses are very interesting and everyone acted so well, including the little children. Even the bad guys have those ugly look which made them looked great in their acting parts. The most handsome man, Seymen and his attractive wife, Bahar added lots of spices to the main theme. However, one has to admire the character of Dicle as well -- she acted so well and I like her good and smart character. Then there are also the gossipers in the characters and they all added some sugar and spice in the scene. I would give a very good rating for this TV series as 8.9 out of 10. I hope to see more of the Turkish movie on TV as well. A pity that I have to stay many nights watching Asmali Konak and then have to adjust my sleeping hours from early morning till noon -- making my sleep shorter as I have to work. Luckily I am self-employed otherwise it would be impossible to for me to discover this entertaining Turkish TV series. Congratulations to the whole team for the making such a successful and most entertaining movie. I have come to learn that Turkey is a beautiful country and that the people are different from the Turkish culture. To me, they are very beautiful people and so different from those other Muslim countries. Turkey is a modern Muslim country with lots of beauty around it. Someday I hope to visit Turkey for a holiday and hope to stay at the Hayat Hotel. It will surely bring lots of happy memory of the TV series Asmali Konak!
