Chamas do Desejo

I am a big fan of Korean and Turkish dramas, I have watched all of their considered hits dramas and many others .. I would say with confidence this drama is the best ever I have watched ... I have loved everything about this drama , the family relationship, the marriage life, friendship, childhood dreams... this drama has been realistic and discussed many social issues, specially from the female perspective, and has shown a very strong female lead character ... I love this drama so much, love the story-line, the acting, actors, direction, cinematography, soundtracks, songs, literally everything ! I do strongly recommend it to be watched and definitely would be on top of your list of the most beloved dramas ...

First of all my impression is that it very real. Everything that happens isn't overdone or absurd. The comedy part was really funny. I love Mahir and their relationship. To me the best massage this series gives is that not everyone is perfect and we make mistakes but we can change for the better. You should love a person the way he or she is because in the end u understand that thats the version u loved.

This is quite possibly one of the best Turkish dramas I have ever watched. The actress who plays Hulya does an amazing job plus she is drop-dead gorgeous! She goes after what she wants and she usually gets it. Sometimes she is a little mischievous in how she gets things done with her best friend Mahir, but it's fun to watch. You have to admit that there is a Hulya in all of us. From the start of the show, we see that Hulya has had a crush on Kerim from a very young age, vowing to marry him. Hulya gets what she wants; so yes, she does marry him. It starts out a little rocky because it is an arranged marriage but once Kerim sees how strong-willed, compassionate, fun-loving and family- oriented she is, he can't help but fall in love with her.

This is a story about a flourishing love and a family who sticks by each other through thick and thin. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be sad, mad and happy in almost every episode. It's a roller-coaster of emotions with amazing scenes that have you cheering for us protagonist, saying "You go girl!"

Thank you to the actors, actresses, directors and all of the crew for this beautiful show that we look forward to every Tuesday!

Hayat Sarkisi will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you swoon over the amazing romance, it will confuse you, it will make you love & hate the characters, it will make you question things, it will wound you and it will heal you. This was a journey I did not expect. Each character became real... and like real life, there is the good, the bad and the ugly. I highly recommend experiencing the lives of the Cevher family.

I watched the show online, much after it was aired in Turkey.

I loved the plot, the actors are great, it's a good family drama but lots if comedic moments.

The main romantic relationship is fully convincing and you root for them, even though it started as a forced marriage. There is major chemistry going on!

I also like the fact that the show is a female-first show, events are explained through a woman's point of view.

While the setting shows a very rich family, side characters are coming from different backgrounds. The show would provide a good glimpse to the Turkish urban (mostly) life style.
