This is a Turkish romantic comedy very reminiscent of the American "How to loose a guy in Ten Days." Gorgeous backdrops in both Istanbul and Cappadocia, Turkey and two famously gorgeous leads. Demet Özdemir from Erkenci Kus fame is absolutely beautiful and does her role justice. Sometimes she can overact, but I think she managed to hit just the right balance in this film(with maybe the exception of the hot air balloon ride). Sükrü Öyyildiz, who I have loved since Nefese Nefese and Kis Günesi, is an amazing actor and I know this wasn't meant to be a serious film, but he was definitely under-utilized in this film. He is not only handsome but he can act!
Basic premise is that Demet's character is a fashion designer and social media guru for women under an anonymous account, Sükrü's character is a bit of a playboy ad executive. Both make bets with their circle of friends to make the next girl/boy fall in love with them and then they meet at an event. Then fate keeps throwing them together which leads to some misunderstandings.
I felt this was fairly fresh, especially for a Turkish romantic comedy. It spent more time alone with the couple than their friends and actually sold the relationship which I appreciated.
What could be better than watching two attractive people fall in love? If you said nothing...than this is the film for you, I highly recommend it.
(Sorry about the improper "s"'s, IMDB will not allow the proper characters.)
