Terra Amarga

There is a good premise and great potential for drama, actors are fantastic, settings are nice, but the script is so problematic.

• You'll have to wait from episode 8 to episode 36 for the ML to "learn a truth", something very easy to understand actually but crutial to the plot.

• for some weird reason NO ONE tells the main leads ANYTHING of the important stuff although some are supposedly friends

• absolutely toxic abusive behaviour and relations are never denounced

• main character is so passive, doesn't stand up and just accepts every kind of BS

• every revelation is made through eavesdropping but never the important things the main leads need to know

• love developing towards abusers

• indefinite dragging to eternity

• stupid misunderstandings that can actually be solved in leads could literally say one single line to each other

and so so so much more. It stars beautiful then you'll have to drop it because of these typical issues.

I loved all the main characters in the beginning and the love triangle story but as the story continues too many new characters pop up and then the main characters story becomes lost.

Love all the main characters got annoyed by the pop characters that get so much screen time and sometimes more then the main characters.

Such a disappointment the main characters and their screen time is lost!

I continue watching in hopes of more main characters comebacks.

Don't usually watch these Novellas at all but caught one episode around number 40 and enjoyed it so decided to give it a run. A few of the more likeable or main actors started to die, get murdered or whatever and soon others followed in the strangest and most unbelievable circumstances. Different events were introduced but were in the main just too impossible to believe and caused the characters to do things and make decisions that were simply too illogical to believe and totally contrary to any common-sense. Added to this was the fact that in Spain where I watched it the programme had a START TIME of 17.45pm but in fact started at 18.15 because it was PRECEDED by 30 minutes of ADVERTS and it had a FINISH TIME OF 1900 but ended at 18.50pm to allow 10 minutes of ADVERTS to be allowed to PRECEDE the programme following. THIS also allowed the Spanish TV Channel Antena 3 to extend the series by months so I long ago stopped watching it because Spanish TV may be free on some Channels but the quality of programmes are the worst imaginable. Spanish viewers in the main like and prefer to watch series like La Voz, Salveme and any reality shows that don't require them to think!

The story line is awful, the writer must have considered that the viewers iq is at least 80. No reasonable reactions is considered for the characters and the things happened.

It is very delicate to say why a Turkish romantic serie is different by other. In this case, a murder, a love story far by homeland and the beautiful performance of Hilal Altinbilek but especialy, Vahide Percin acting are, like the influence of Biblical story, are good motives for see it. Romance, drama and dark secrets as basic ingredients and as good pillars of story.
