Çemberimde Gül Oya

am an Egyptian girl but i've been told that my great grandparents were Turkish..i've visited turkey for couple of times, antalya and Istanbul recently..i love the European and Asian combination...it just made me want t know more and more about anything that have to do with turkey.. i've been watching the TV series recently, tomorrow is the last day..i am THRILLED about the story...when it finishes i just cant wait to see it again..its translated here to Arabic.. it teaches you many things..there are political events happening..great love story going on...and warm family bondings taking place...all of these three factors are just belnded together in a very exciting and interesting way...and most of all its a very true reflection of the Turkish society and the life out there...i HONESTLY LOVE it!!!

MBC1, the biggest channel in the whole middle East showed this show in june 2006, as the first ever turkish series to be aired on an arab channel, and People absoloutely loved it. Was 13 years inn 2006 when it First aired in middleeast (the series is from 2004) and i loved the series, the music, cast, plot and every thing was perfect.

Would recommend every body to watch this series

What happened to impossible loves? Is it really exist in these days? Especially between a man known as anarchist and the Turkish deputy's daughter. It is the love story between leftist guy (Mehmet) and also leftist primary school teacher (Yurdanur) by the early time 70's. We see also our times and watch old Yurdanur and Mehmet. Cleverly made scenes, Awesome outfits and environment but the music was poor for those nostalgic scenes. It tells us there is war between leftist and rightist before the military intervention . The story came out from first person by Yurdanur herself. She is sharing the story with her daughter and the spectator. Characters were well fit into story and reflected their feelings exact of that time. Special thanks to Çagan Irmak for making it and made us remember this sad times.

it's one of the best Turkish TV series ever. why? first, the director/writer of the series has not added anything that never took place in turkey, i mean it includes no lies, no exaggerations. second, it is all about Turkish people, the neighbor relations were completely accurate. third, the relationship of the lead characters, yurdanur and mehmet, was not all painted in pink; we could feel that they were real people who had to disagree on some things and have fights from time to time. they were in love, but they were still on earth! fourth, i could always feel that the whole story was written with sincerity, with a purpose to remind Turkish people of their past, and not just with a motivation of earning quick cash. i can go on and on like this, but i think the summary is;thank you cagan irmak! for feeling, and for sharing this with us.

In my opinion, Çemberimde Gül Oya is certainly one of the best TV series ever, as it shows the plain truths of the tough life in 70's and 80's in Turkey. Every episode displays the real difficulties that Turkish people had faced and had to struggle with. People being killed without a blink just because of their thoughts, no matter women or baby or old.. Some scenes can make you cry and some of them can make you laugh and also think deeply about life. Actors and actresses perfectly matched to their roles and the connection between past and present is marvelously played. Surely it deserves the best comments and it worths watching without missing any second of it. I have to say congratulations for both Çagan Irmak ,the director, and talented actors and actresses.
