Aci Hayat

This TV series is based on a movie from the 60's, and just like the vast majority of Turkish movies in that era, it accomplishes one thing perfectly: Being cheesy!

The acting is so and so by some characters, pretty good by a couple, and absolutely horrid by most of them. Especially Oguz Galeli and Anta Toros are tremendously fake. I have a feeling that is caused by a lack of communication between the director and the cast. Even the worst actor cannot fail at depicting malevolent demeanour so badly!

As for the plot, it may be good for a mini series of a dozen episodes or less (that still being ultimately cheesy), but they are trying to put more on the screen, and because of that, they fill it up with long and pretentious scenes. Not to mention the pointless religious propaganda they include in every other frame.

I do not find Aci Hayat to be worth watching on a regular basis. I would not say terrible either, I have seen terrible TV series and this is not one of them. But I do not watch it unless I have absolutely nothing better to do.

4,5 out of 10

I don't know, I don't remember, this serial was very popular in Azerbaijan, at that time I was a teenager and I was watching the serial with curiosity, now it was not that good.

i honestly cant understand people that don't just love this show! in my opinion this is the most magnificent love story the world has ever seen!! mehmet and nermin made me understand the true meaning of love! in this show, the acting was perfect, this music was amazing and the directing was beautiful ! the moments these two characters shared were greater than any other film or movie. i have watched and read soooo many love story, but i have to say this beats them all by far. the way the characters express their feelings and show their emotions is brilliant! kenan is a fabulous and handsome. this story is very tragic and made nearly everyone who watched it cry. loved it, loved it loved it.

for the people that didn't find this story romantic, they obviously have no feelings at all. the show was terribly successful in turkey and i recommend the whole world to watch it. because trust me, mehmet and nermin will remain in your heart forever. it is worth every second of your time. i still cant believe what happened at the end. mehmet, stay strong. i love you with all my heart , aci hayat. you have changed me and my life. no show/film/book can compare to this

This is the most amazing beautiful realistic drama ever, i really mean when i say everytime I see this i will cry and my heart aches, i watched aci hayat again after so many years but it didn't failed to make me cry i got depressed and very sad for 3 days, the story is so beautiful true love sad, and i want to say i love you Nermin and Mehmet you will be always in my heart you are a true love

It is hard to say that that Aci Hayat was a perfect TV Show, because definitely it wasn't. It did really have some huge and quite obvious demerits, like poor acting of some characters, like extended, never ending, exaggerated storyline and etc. But, still I cannot say that Aci Hayat does not deserve to be watched. Personally I watched it with great pleasure from the beginning till the end, maybe due to the portion of tension that presents throughout the Show and chains you to the story, maybe it is because of demonstration of really big and rare love between the main characters, due to what you start to suffer together with them, I don't know exactly what, but definitely there is something in this show because of which you cant just stay indifferent to it. So, I advice you to watch it, I am sure you will not regret.
