One of the best turkish tv series , amazing on all level and full of suspense😍😍 u will never get bored and u cant stop watching , must be an international series.

Kara Para Ask(roughly translated to English as Black Money Love) is easily one of the best Turkish TV series out there. I usually hate Turkish series(I only watched Ezel before this) because they are all the same,based on the same story but just with different characters/locations. Fortunately,I was actually forced to watch this because I was in a hospital and my TV remote didn't work,so i was stuck on just one channel for 8 days. At first I was very suspicious because I had some stereotypes about Turkish TV series,but on the third day I was actually enjoying watching it. So what makes Kara Para Ask stand out in infinite bland of weeping women,endless tea drinking(they even rival the British people :D),and more weeping?

THE GOOD: -Outstanding acting,especially for one Turkish series

Explanation:The two main actors,Omer and Elif,are excellent and believable characters,their role really suits their appearance/style. Even antagonists(Tajar,Metin,miss Nedret)are really good and you actually start to hate them,which is always a sign that they nailed their acting. The only mediocre actress was definitely Nilufer(she is truly annoying as somebody already wrote).

-Gorgeous locations

Explanation:Turkey is really a beautiful country,and this series really make the best of it stand out,with its top-notch camera work.The best thing is that there are actually quite a few locations in the series,as opposed to your usual Turkish series where there is like 3 houses in the whole series :D

-Beautiful soundtrack

Explanation:I fell in love with the sounds and songs of this series.I actually went so far that I downloaded 2 songs from it because they were perfect to play while having,um,some fun with my girlfriend.They really make everything much more compelling and believable.

And I left the best for the end: -Amazing story

Explanation:The story is just a whole new level for the Turkish series.However they didn't even went far from your usual "love wins all" story,they just upgraded it.Instead of some usual characters you really have unique ones,everyone has its own strengths and weaknesses,and when Omer and Elif try to break through some tough times you are really sympathizing with them.The story is not just centered on the love of the two protagonists,its also centered on their families,and even love stories of some minor characters(Metin- Nilufer). All this really makes it stand out.The best thing:they minimized weeping,although some characters just can't do without it(Yes I'm looking at you Nilufer,if your tea isn't sweet enough that's not a reason to cry :D).Without all the tears the series actually just gained on emotional side.

THE BAD:

-Unrealistic violence

Explanation:Although Turkish censorship is pretty strict(no sex scenes,violence,even swearing),they could at least make it more believable by putting more realistic muzzle flashes/gun smoke because its pretty visible that it's fake.Another drawback is that every character holds the gun somehow awkward,even those who should know how to hold it(Omer/Husejin/other police officers). Yet another drawback is totally unrealistic wounds,I mean when you get shot to the head there is really a lot of blood,not just small red blurred dot.I know this ain't Saw or something but that could definitely be better.

-Some kiss scenes were awkward AF

Explanation:Although I know not anybody can make out like me :D a.k.a Casanova style,it's still somewhat expected when 2 people are married that they French kiss instead of your 10 year old kisses.The funniest thing is when Metin and Nilufer are making out because you can clearly see that there is no passion involved and Nilufer acts like she is kissing a Chernobyl boar,and not a human being(I can actually understand that,'cause Metin/Faith is ugly AF :D) But still,could be way better.

-A bit repetitive plot

Explanation:I already told that the story was cool,but after watching it for a while you really get used to all the plot twists and you can easily predict what will happen next.I don't know,maybe it's just me but after episode 40 i almost knew everything in advance.Sometimes you should just make thing go as planned,without any problems.

That's it,thanks for reading! :)

Saw this on Netflix in UK and as subtitles don't bother me I thought I'd give it a try. I was hooked from the first episode and as I'm off work sick, I've watched all 54 epsiodes in a week ! Plot is good (sometime a bit longwinded to be fair) and acting is ok, especially when when compared to some of the drivel on UK tv. I think I will look up other Turkish thing to watch now.

After watching all 164 episodes, the way Netflix divided them up, I read a bunch of reviews here. I would agree that if you are looking for something to criticize, yes there are legitimate things you can find. Implausible events, endless crying, tea drinking, same plot lines repeated over and over, scenes to drag it out further than necessary, things like that. But in what could be considered a very long movie, as in somewhere between 110 and 150 hours, some of those things will happen.

But here is the thing. Tuba B. She is simply phenomenal in this TV series. And so is her love interest Engin. They make the most handsome and beautiful on-screen couple ever! I loved it when they looked into each others' eyes. It didn't matter to me how long or often they did that. It never got old. The way they connected was so seemingly real, that apparently there are lots of people around the world who believe they are together in real life, not just on the set of this series. I can see how they could think that. And if it did happen I and probably millions of other fans would be thrilled.

This is a crime drama with a lot of soap opera and intrigue in it. But I never got bored. I have to say that I became more obsessed about watching this than anything I have ever watched, whether a movie or TV series. I thought all the actors were great. I could relate to most of their characters. But not as much as I could relate to what Elif as played by Tuba B. Was feeling at any given moment. I can't think of another acting job that continuously had me feeling everything that she was feeling. Her romance with Omer, played by Engin, is the stuff that dreams are made of. Every moment they are together is magical, even though they suffer through so many tragedies and betrayals of close friends, coworkers, and family, as well as their personal struggles with each other. It could be said that the most important aspect of this story is the concept of Love Conquers All.

I wasn't all that happy with the last few episodes, but they had to come up with some way to tie together so many separate plot lines, so I could understand that the writers had to find a way to end it. Although I would have kept watching no matter how many episodes they made. And I will no doubt go back and watch the whole series over and over.

Now that I am back looking for other movies and TV series to watch on streaming channels, I just cannot seem to find anything that holds my attention as much as this TV series did.

I have been falling in love with the lead actresses of countless movies and TV shows over the decades. But this actress Tuba B. In this TV series is in a league of her own. Of course she is beautiful in every way, but there is something about her hazel eyes that is mesmerizing. As well as her great voice, stylish clothes, long dark hair, and everything about her facial expressions and even body language.

Outstanding Acting! Love Engin and Tuba... they have the most amazing chemistry you could ever watch. Brilliant series overall.. excellent crime drama. Metin is one of the most fascinating characters you could ever watch!

I have seen a lot of Turkish drama but Kara Para Ask is always my favorite.The story, the cast the shooting, directing were the best. It tells the story of lost diamonds and unknown killer along with beautiful but somehow(childish) love story of Elif and Omer & Metin and Nilufer. THE other reviews have mentioned enough about everything except for the one thing I believe was the real key to this huge success:Tayyar and Metin(Faith) Dundar. The character of Tayyar is new to the drama he represent pure evil a wolf disguised as lamb and his worst deeds was his son Metin. The first is a successful businessman who has charitable initiatives and has wife and son and everyone loves him, but he hides a criminal aspect of organic trading and money laundering. He has a secret son who he adopted as his nephew and made him a criminal and his right hand his nick name is Metin. Metin is young man who was born of a crime (Tayyar raped his mother and then cut her tongue off)and grew up in the dark to become a psycho planning to avenge Tayyar in closest chances. But something happens to change his life forever when he falls in love with his prisoner, which teaches him love and represents for him everything that was missing compassion and innocence. Tayyar relationships and implementation makes his arrest impossible and develops events in the series of trying to solve the mystery of the death of Elife's father and Omar fiancée to reveal the threads about the involvement of Tayyar and Metin and develop at an accelerated pace holding breath until it ends before picking it up.They get to know the truth and discover lots of facts about life,family,friends and love.Although i didn't like the ending very well, i expected better but still was good (for Turkish they adore sad endings so i should be grateful hahaha). The writers innovated unique characters, especially strong mentally, and emotionally eg: Metin: even made him a victim sympathize with others despite his cruelty! we loved the bad boy here , they even called best TV bastard ever . As the director put best selection of scenes and the use of music of genius Toygar ışıklı and generosity in production , the wonderful cast , devoted crew...etc all these elements led to the success of the series and fame. And I disagree with those who say that the reason for success is Omar and Elif love story because the story between them is not new or attractive, same old boring story, and doesn't evolve or give much pleasure or romance. Tuba (Elif) didn't act very well to prove her love to the audience, especially in the second season. The rest of the actors were very good, especially Saygin Soysal, who dazzled people with his successful coup for a psychopathic in love and seeking revenge. Again work does not succeed in the names of heroes even if they are stars, but teamwork and innovation and output and production and writing distinctive are making any series successful or not.

I was going to write a review after I had watched the whole series and this viewer said most of what I saw in the show the fantastic actors one and all. I even got to love Faith. I spent a month watching the series and now a let down to it is over. Liked the ending for Tuba and Engin . Not sure if now they are together so hard to find the answer . If they are I can see why per the looks they had for each other reminds me of when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton did Cleopatra you knew there was something on fire there. If not they at least gave their all and I am looking for other series. Years ago I was a soap opera fan in my U. S. not been now for many years and this was done very well and kept my interest over any of ours today . Wish that we could see more of the Turkish shows with English over time . I almost felt like I was learning Turkish language. Thank you , all of the super actors and the writers and directors for an entertaining series?

Watched this in Scotland. Really enjoyed it. Wee bit predictable at times but enjoyed acting by most of the cast. Getting to like Turkish TV series and movies. So many gorgeous male actors to enjoy and they have changed my opinion of Turkish men in general as not had good experience in the past. This one kept me interested and watching and might inspire me to visit again. Hope to see more starring the lead actor with the beautiful eyes to die for.

Amazing story line and characters. Mesmerizing music. Beautiful ending. A very good Turkish tv show. As good as Winter Sun (Kis Gunesi). I highly recommend this show.

The lead characters, Ömer and Elif have been well casted together. They have a real sense of attraction and love. Elifs' best friend, Bahar, has fantastic acting ability too. Some parts of episodes seem slow and frustrating but it is so well worth it to get past this and watch the whole series. As one of the commissioners quoted "everyone's a suspect!". I love Turkish genres as they have drama, romance, adventure and action. Most of all, they have a great storyline!!! Unlike many mainstream shows. This is definitely a must watch!

Don't watch any Turkish shows if you are on a diet!!! They know how to cook and what to show to the audience. Much too yummy!

As an English speaking South African, I've recently become hooked on Turkish drama series! Para Kara Ask is the fourth one I've watched and definitely my favorite so far. I could not get enough of Ömer and Elif, their on screen chemistry was absolutely amazing, both so beautiful to watch and they both brought so much to the characters they played. Arda and Pelin with their constant banter were so funny and entertaining too! The evil Tayver was brilliant as the villain, actually all the actors were fantastic but I have to say that Nilufer became extremely irritating with her constant crying and pathetic expression throughout the show, I fast forwarded her scenes most of the time!

Overall it was a really good and very gripping series and I'm so sad that it ended and I had to say goodbye to them all.

I suspect that all of the positive reviews about this story come from Turks or other Middle Easterners that are accustom to this level of tumultuous and erratic in a script. The maniacal changes and circumstances would look like a EKG if plotted.

Everyone of the characters, with the exception of Omar's mother, lie to each other constantly! And this is definitely true about Omar, playing the upright and sincere police officer. And they keep OBVIOUS things from each other, even when they would alleviate the other's suffering, only then comes the long pause of worry, homelessness or dramatic self talk that all is lost! The thing in my mind, where I am in the series, is that ONCE AGAIN Elif is going through hell and Omar fails to mention that Fatih stole the gun and orchestrated the whole murder. Then again, they do NOTHING to look out for Elif in jail, no background checks, no suspicion, no concern for her but to bring some reading material. I've watched this far because the erratic moments of love and affection between Elif and Omar are stirring, but then I have to be ready for the inevitable disaster.

Interesting plotting , lots of convoluted twists and turns set against a Beautiful backdrop filled with beautiful people. I was hooked and binge watched hundreds of episodes. The problem is the soap operaesque camera holds making scenes melodramatically go no for EVER while no one is saying anything and at least half of every episode is filled with hysterical women, crying, sobbing and screaming. YIKES STOP . STOP STOP. i had to fast forward through half of each episode to get back to plot

Tuba's actin - Elif is amazing ans so so beautyful ! One of the best Tv series ! I loved it.

The best and worst part of Kara Para Ask is it's length - it drains you out and at the same time, hooks you at the edge of the seat. The characters start to become your own family, their love, pain becomes yours. This one was my longest netflix drama. Amidst the COVID 19 lockdown situation, these 150 hours with Omar, Elif, Arda, Pelin, Asli, Nilu, Tayaar, Fatih, Hussein gave me that energy to stay at home for weeks and remain hooked to this memorable life journey of one the most beautiful on screen couple. After the end also, I am eager to have more of Engin and Tuba- Their love-hate relationship and their smile which makes every fan mad and fall in love again and again.

Engin Akyurek is the best actor in Turkey and through him we got acquainted with the Turkish series and films, and he is the best person to play the character of the detective.

The actors performed very good. But the writing sucks big time. Not one character is making logical decisions. The director needs to create problems, i can understand that. But the problems are created because of the most ridiculous decisions people make. It's so unrealistic, impossible to take it serious.

One of the best series I have ever watched, as a matter of fact I am not so much into series, but this one got me hooked so easily. Kara Para Ask (black money Love) or Tikur Fikir in Amharic is a success, it has been watched all over the world,a actually as far as I know it's translated into 16 or more languages, very exciting, I want to congratulate the producer, the director, the cameraman, the crew, all the actors and support acts involved in it! We should always remember without the whole gang the movie wouldn't have accomplished it's achievement. Elif and Omer are of course the gems, the lead actors they have nailed it! What a significant match and romance. I do not want to pass without commenting on Fetih and Nulfeir's love affair, Nulfier looks so innocent and fragile....just only wished if she doesn't cry a lot. Fetih's character is awesome, from how he was raised and how Tayer has manipulated him, it really make you believe as if it is a true story. Fetih well done!, that goes to your half-brother Mert as well. Think of Hussein and his wife too! They remind you of those old traditional couple who live next door. A superb family, I love how talkative and naive Hussien wife is :-). Omer's mom is also a brilliant actress! And how about his mistress....the Russian woman....hmm good role! KPA has so much cries which makes it look unreal at times, but it is OK. And there comes Tayer! He is so good at his role you feel like you want to strangle him yourself! How about Asli and her craziness? and Bahar and Levent...and all the rest of the crew whom I haven't mentioned have done great job! Fantastic team, the crew casting should be praised. Excellent music choice, dialects and phrases they used are fascinating you'd want to quote them next time. All the characters will remain with you for a long time. I noticed few editing flaws, but comparing to the length of the series that should not really matter. Some of the accidents and their recovery seems so fictitious. Around the end I feel like they have tried to stretch it and it was going to start to bore me but then again they pulled it back on the track, instead the finishing could have been more extended. All in all a beautiful must watch series. Enjoy!

Well, "Kara Para Ask" is my seventh series I have watched so far, and I must say I didn't quite enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed "Brave and Beautiful". I know this one was far earlier (and that's basically my mistake to watch "Brave and Beautiful" first). The story is promising and entertaining at the same time at first, but it gets boring and boring as it continues the over repetitive plot and situation with some characters in it. To me, personally, I like the characters of Omer and Elif, but frankly speaking, the scene stealer is definitely Fatih/Metin and Nilufer. They are very good, I almost thought they are as the leads.

Overall, it's good enough and I will try to repeat some of my favorite scenes in it.

I have never seen so many drawn out scenes that were totally unnecessary to make this production annoying in a lot of parts. To Many drawn out love talk scenes, to many drawn out mourning scenes, to many drawn out dramatic pauses, you know after about ten to twenty seconds the audience gets it. And you have Nilufer crying through the whole series ALL THE TIME, Do you know how annoying that is to watch her burst into tears over the slightest little thing!!!! One of the worst directed series I have ever watched, the only saving grace to this series was the story line if you gave it a chance to tell it properly without all that wasted cinematography. I am Sicilian and I thought Sicilians were emotional but you portrayed the Turks as The Kings of emotion!!!!

Tuba Büyüküstün is the most talented actres , her actin in Kara Para Ask l is amazing. I love it. with Engin they give us a beautyful couple Elif -Omer. great story line ! Thak you.

I find the series entertaining, except for one major aspect that can drive you nuts - the editing. As a prime example, in virtually every episode, there are one or more scenes that involve Elif and Omer staring at each other for 20 or 30 seconds, or longer, with no dialogue. The obvious question is why is this the case? The very poor editing greatly detracts from the quality of the show, which suffers from some of the worst editing I have ever seen.

Unlike most of the other reviewers, I'm not Turkish or anything like that (whatever that means) and have nothing for or against Turkish TV shows. I watched the first episode on a friend's recommendation. For me it was over-acting, slow-moving, a ton of crying and faces agape with one emotion or another. Yes, as several reviewers say, the actors (male and female) are beautiful. The mothers are crying anxiously, ever-worried and prototypical. The music is lush. Every thing and every person is emoting all over the place.

Really, a soap opera. The two murders and a cop as the male protagonist don't change that. If you want to see a Turkish soap opera, watch it; otherwise don't waste your time.
