Fatmagül: A Força do Amor

It was hard to get through the beginning considering the subject matter, but was worth watching til the end. It's not a perfect show, had some issues with character development and plot, tbh I skipped most of the scenes of the Yasaran family. Overall though I think it was entertaining, had good acting, and conveyed a good message in the end. Also has good rewatch potential.

As someone who has recently started watching Turkish shows, I couldn't help but wonder why Ask-i-Memnu has a higher rating on IMDb than Fatmagul considering that this story is not only realistic, but also the story of a plethora of women around the world. But when I saw the breakdown of votes by gender and age, it was no surprise to me that a lot of young males seemed to have given this show poor ratings. Of course! It's not as saucy or racy as shows like Ask-i-memnu, and the story probably hits home, too. Firstly, Beren Saat is a fantastic actress. Give her any role, and she'll give the best performance one could expect from an actress. Secondly, it is good to see a show based around a story that is more common in real life than people like to think. Sure, the novel may have had a different story, and I can understand why that would cause people to downgrade the show, but it still doesn't justify poor ratings. Fatmagul reminds me of the real life story of Mukhtara Mai, a Pakistani rape victim. I suggest that readers research on her story before watching Fatmagul.

Other than the above, I LOVED the beautiful views of Turkey. LOVED all the characters - villains and heroes. And I specifically adored the character of Rahimi (Bulent Seyran). 10/10

This was the first time I followed each seconds of a Turkish drama till the end. probably there were so many nights I didn't sleep because of the excitement this drama brought to me. Engin and Beren played marvelously indeed in such a way that you couldn't skip any of the seconds of the episodes. honestly I am an addict of Korean Dramas and I thought there would be no other countries that can compete with Korea in producing this mass of emotional and exciting dramas. but after watching Fatmagul I can surely say that Turkish dramas are more interesting for me. They beautifully represents the nature of life in the middle east.

How in the world the score is only 5?? The best actresses,powerful story,very complicated issues that contribute to a very interesting story. Love it!
