Kizil Goncalar

Kizil Goncalar is an incredibly well made and touching series that brings writers 's life story to the screen. The storyline beautifully explores his struggles, love for people, and dedication to justice while incorporating elements of philosophy and spirituality. It also portrays the fight against both conservative and radical ideologies, making it one of the best Turkish shows I have watched seen. Some scenes are so moving and real that I watched them twice,a truly heartfelt experience.

This is a must-watch series that requires deep concentration to fully appreciate its depth. I enjoyed every bit of it, from the powerful storytelling to the rich themes of love, philosophy, and social justice.

In the world of cliche and repetitive Turkish dizis,this series is an exception. The way that the storyline is woven and the events are designed makes you hooked all the time.

What I liked most is the dialogue and the magnificent way the senarist is trying to deliver the ideas without making the viewer feel like they are taking a lesson.

The focus onto details and the acting is something else! Every single person from the cast lives their role in a way that you forget that you are watching a series and feel like it's a real life experience. Congrats to both Mina and Mert on the huge success!

First of all, the Kizil Goncalar series is the most beautiful series I have ever seen and the plot is the most interesting. The actors have great acting skills and you can tell that they have been carefully selected. Especially Mert Yazicioglu portrayed the character of "Cüneyd Efendi" so beautifully that it touches one's heart. I love this character and even memorize most of his lines.

Let me tell you a little bit about Cüneyd Efendi, when Cüneyd Efendi was young he lost his mother and suffered a great trauma. For this reason he was diagnosed with Obsessive compulsive disorder, the inability to touch. Also, Mr. Cüneyd is a very knowledgeable and gentlemanly man. He has a mesmerizing good looks and aura. Extremely handsome!! He is always very thoughtful and knows where to say what to say. He is Gülayse's son and he is listened to in the Faniler Dergah because he is seen as an exalted person.

Let me also talk about Cüneyd's wife Zeynep. Zeynep is a very smart girl. She is almost the same age as me. She has a great interest in mathematics and loves to do operations. She is an expert in solving problems and riddles. She has a pure beauty. She wants to read and learn a lot, but her father does not allow her to study. Zeynep comes to the sect from her hometown to marry Cüneyd Efendi.

First they meet in the library.

Then in many other places. Finally they have a religious marriage.

Zeynep makes Cüneyd fall in love with her intelligence and beauty. Cüneyd also falls in love with Zeynep. Later on, some people break up between them and the series becomes even more gripping. Although dozens of events happen to them, Zeynep and Cüneyd love each other very much. In addition, there are many more events in the series, not only the love of these two. Meryem and Levent's love is also mentioned a lot because they are also the main actors.

I highly recommend you to watch the series, have a good time!!!

I got hooked to this series very early on and did not get bored for a second during the philosophical exchanges for instance between Cuneyd (Mert Yazicioglu) and his psychiatrist, Levent (Ozcan Deniz) or the religious exchanges between Cuneyd and his uncle Sadi Hudayi (Erkan Avci). I appreciated the wonderful mother-daughter relationship between Meriem (Ozgu Namal) and Zeynep (Mina Demirtas), and also the touching relationship between Zeynep and Mira Alkanli (Esma Yilmaz), who is the same age, and whose goofiness added a light touch to the generally heavy atmosphere. I did not expect to root for Zeynep and Cuneyd but they turned out to be real soulmates who understood each other so well. A compelling element was also the relationship between the physics professor, Suave Alkanli (Serif Erol) and Zeynep. Secondary characters such as Birgul and Arif were charming too. I thought some of the women were a bit caricatural (especially Sadi's wife and daughter), and Hande Elkanli as a journalist was not very convincing but on the whole, the series was quite riveting and hope the second season will be as compelling.

Beautiful portrayal of Sadi H character. Real &relatable characters portrayal. Wonderful work Sadi , Hasna , Fayza. You made the episode very special

Well written script story line. Woud love to see it to develop more muldimensionaly ... exploring wider issues , moving from what seems to be a single focus on the equality of women in society. And perhaps discussing the dynamic between other faiths. With the possible impact on communities. Misconceptions of faith in current culture and if known fair portrayal of misconceptions within it self. Love the philosophical discussion between Levent and Junaid. Please bring more.
