Esref Rüya

For a first episode, it was really good.

It started off a bit slow, but that's expected for an opening - introducing the characters and setting up the story. Then, the pace picked up, and the plot became truly captivating.

The beginning sequences & the production quality as a whole is very similar to the high quality production in some of the best television series.

"Esref looked at a woman for the first time in many years, he felt a warmth in his stomach like he felt when he first saw his Ruya, he looked at the girl's neck, there was no sign, it wasn't her... so feeling this way created a deep regret in him"

"Even when he was taking his last breath, he was still very handsome."

In 2001, Esref sees his dream... I loved the choice of child actors. I continue to watch with curiosity and interest.

I haven't written a review in years! This has turned out to be one of the best series out right now. It started out slow but has built up to a superbly written and acted series!

Its a very unique plotline. There's no emasculated men bullied by bitter mother/grandmother, no weak female victims getting slapped around, there are multiple villains who are psycho, but the chess moves of the tribe/mafia families, psycho exes, the "good" bad guys, and the bad bad guys has me anticipating every Wednesday night! Great series!

Cagatay and Demet are masters of their craft!

I love the supporting cast as well. Superb writing! Love this series!

Esref Rüya is a masterpiece and masterful blend of intense drama, deep emotions, and gripping storytelling, capturing the essence of love, ambition, and the struggle between fate and choice. With its stellar cast, breathtaking cinematography, and the plot is on point, it stands as a testament to the brilliance of Turkish television. The chemistry between Çagatay Ulusoy and Demet Özdemir is electrifying, and breath taking. From its richly developed characters to its hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. I can't get it out of my mind I'm obsessed .This series is perfection I highly recommend you to watch it.

Im sorry but im dissapointed after reading Slow Over Hyped Boring comment. I encourage people to continue watching this series. It has the best actors (Necip) and actress on the screen. I mean why would Cagatay and Demet act in a series if the storyline was boring.? And the Director himself is someone to look out for with so many movies worth watching. Trust me, this series is and will be truly captivating. Another Mafia story that will keep you glued.

The start could hv be dragging as its telling the story itself. But the plot definitely gets more interesting. These Mafia stories have become an inthing these days. Excitement with romance.

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.
