Kurt Seyit e Shura

there's more to cinema than Hollywood! what's missing normally, but not in this series: emotion. aesthetics. history. sheer reality. humanity. life.

most films, esp. western, miss a soul and/or meaning. most Hollywood films are cold, violent or shallow fantasies. even if Hollywood does romance, there's somehow aggression involved. rarely real stories. modern western films tend to not be alive!

thank goodness for Netflix, or America would be void of foreign films, which are so damn necessary as alternative to shallow Hollywood, not to mention there's a whole big beautiful interesting exceptional worthy world out there that Americans don't see otherwise. IMDb also needs to get its act together and be more detailed/professional on foreign productions, not focus so much on Hollywood.

this series has 46 episodes in 1 season! ; ) one truly gets involved in the characters, mood. it's one of those series that is hard to get out of. it's almost hard to keep watching, not because it's un-watchable, to the contrary! ; ), but because one dreads what comes next: no series will match its depth/emotion/beauty...

IMDb has several errors in the cast, incl. not naming a main character, Pedro, and putting him way down the list (Birkan Sokullu). there's other omissions/mistakes too. it's incomplete information.

plus IMDb mentions S2 but without any details. will there be a 2nd season?! hope so. but unlikely. so why tease us? ; )

where can one upload images and comment (not just review) on IMDb?

I don't know when I have enjoyed a series so much. The story had me researching the war during 1917 and the details surrounding that war. There were a number of different characters in the story who all added great variety and elements of emotion. I never get tired of films like this one. It amazes me how rich history is with stories like these of people who lived thru the horrors of war and tyranny. Stories of their struggles, victories and how they just survived it all. So much detail went into the story that helped you really see each character and their lives. I wasn't disappointed with any part of the series and watched every part of it to the end. Sorry to actually get to the end. Could have gone on...where is Season 2?

So I have just completed the whole series of this amazing story.

My first time to ever sit through a subtitled TV series (46 episodes) but my gosh what a journey it took me on. From that first episode of the ball, it was like a Cinderella setting, the scenes are beautifully set.

At first I must admit I kept saying 'ahhh I wish this was made in English' but you know what I agree with another reviewer in that I believe it would have taken away the essence and passion of how the actors tell the story in their own language and I even started picking up words just learning from this series.

Also my gosh how lovely is the main male character, Hello.... who is this Kivanc Tatlitug and Why don't we know more of him in the western world?

This is why I'm so glad I stumbled across this show on Netflix because it taught me to venture out more and watch more non speaking English movies. All the characters and actors/actresses that played in it did an amazing job. There are a few slow moments in some scenes so You may find you want to fast forward and just to get to the juicy nitty gritty bits but try not to if you can. If you're like me you will go through emotions of frustration, laughter, tears, happiness, sadness. A true love story that goes through so many hurdles and obstacles, jealousy, revenge.

The supporting roles also offer individual depth of again love, patience, family honor, traditions and respect. Money, status and power shows how it can ruin lives but let's not forget the character that ties this altogether....the absolute evil and nasty Petro. As a viewer I must say Bravo to that actor because boy he made me hate him. He portrayed conniving to another level, such a good actor.

I won't spoil the ending but I'm still not sure if I'm happy or sad with how it all played out....I'd say the ending is more realistic however it'll be interesting to know if this ending (as new characters are brought in) was to boost TV ratings as I found the layout and direction towards the end episodes drastically changed.

I'm already researching on the true story of Seyit and Sura just to find out what really did happen between them. Overall, I Hope those watching it enjoy this captivating story and appreciate how beautifully it was made.

This has to be one of my all time favorite movies. Yes, I continue to watch it as a movie, absolutely love the music, the actors are perfect for their parts. Tears, smiles, laughter, smirks, all the emotions you want in a drama. The camera angles are so different than we normally see with American films and the way they show the love scenes are just beautiful. I have watched all the episodes a dozen times in the past 3 weeks, know the dialogue by heart. It's a beautiful love story. Can't say enough about it...Just love it. I'm a history buff and this introduced a culture that I am not familiar with and spurred my interest in learning more. I have never been a fan of subtitles, but this is the exception.

I found this movie on Netflix by chance Thank you Netflix. It is excellent. I love this move,so captured by the story and especially the main actor Kivanç Tatlitug. He is so handsome and his eyes mesmerize you. Even though I have to watch with closed caption because it is not in English, I cannot stop watching it. I just wish it was in English, although in fact it may lose something. I love these kind of love stories. I wish Kivanc would make some English speaking movies in the U.S. However, I do not like most American movies these days. They are trashy and violent. Not enough true to life wholesome movies that appeal to the romantic. American movies are much too violent, and actors have become so political expressing their political views, I choose not to follow them. They should not bring their personal political rhetoric into the entertainment industry. I will look for more movies like this one.
