It started off so well, great cast, beautiful sets and engaging storyline but the way it ended was just heartbreaking! I mean what was the writer thinking ? So many questions were left unanswered, so many characters left to the imagination of the viewers. Sad that such a promising series ended the way it did. What was the rush to end it so abruptly? I'm sure the viewers would've liked to know the fate of the lead roles, how does the senior couple resolve their conflict? Did the writer run out of a storyline? Or was he forced to write a haphazard ending ? We the viewers will never know why we were left left guessing but it was not fair to the viewers.

Overall, I like this show and certain characters are a joy to watch. Hats off especially to the actors who play Nursema and Omer (outstanding acting). However, the male lead Fatih has been a major problem from the start. Because of him, I don't enjoy the show as much as I want to. I also don't like the actor playing him -- he lacks charisma and has no chemistry with the female lead who plays Doga.

Fatih is a very unlikeable character who has no respect or empathy for his pregnant wife Doja. These two don't even seem to like each other so I am not sure why they are together. Fatih is mentally (and borderline physically) abusive. He keeps stressing Doga out and always puts his family over her. Now he's cheating (at the FIRST opportunity).

I don't care how much Fatih begs or what he does after this, he's irredeemable and cannot be trusted. I hope the writers give Doja back her self-respect by divorcing her from this poor excuse for a man. There should be no reconciliation -- but I won't be surprised if the writers reunite them (Turkish writers are notorious for doing this).

First of all the life styls between two extremist ideology (Islamic and secular) are depicted wisely but that doesn't mean scriptwriter handls it good. Supreme islamist family's way of living is totally fine but the way of using language is irritating. Just like in many other Turkish soap operas, there are lots of illogical events but the amount of it gets increased. If you live in a Muslim country, you are well aware of the many situations that is "handled" in the tv series but on which side you belong affects how you see the events in the tv serie but if you in the middle, then you will be totally irritated by the behaviors of the two sides.

It is a very good series that portrays well the difficulties encountered when a young man from a traditional Muslim family marries a girl whose religion is not the pillar of her family. It's a beautiful family drama that shows that every family has its imperfections and prejudices.

The cast is wonderful and talented. And a very good thing is that the plot does not revolve around the protagonists alone.

Nowadays, I think this series brings very important reflections on religious and moral issues in society not only in Turkey but all over the world.

Once again I emphasize that the cast is so good that it will make you love the characters and hate them in the same episode.

At first, I was excited about a drama that describe cultural differences and the possibility of coexistence with love and respect, which was interesting. However, it later became clear that the creators of this series were biased toward a particular party, showing the other party in an extremely negative light. Not only that but also mention other countries in negative way, this is unjust and unfair to the religious communities in Turkey and around the world.

Every society has its positive and negative aspects, and the shows and drama should remain neutral to ensure the Presentation of an enjoyable and entertaining program without provoking the viewers' emotions.
