Kuzey Guney (north & south), is the story of two brothers who, as the title suggests are polar opposite from each other. Guney, being the poster picture for the perfect child was always the first choice for anything. Kuzey on the other hand was always misunderstood. As fate would have it, Kuzey takes the brunt of a life changing mistake just so that Guney could carry on with his life. Despite this Guney harbors malicious feelings for his brother, which gets worse when he realizes that Kuzey is in love with Cemre, a girl he himself loved. It goes to show how at times our own blood would be ready to do anything to take you down in life.

You will find it hard not to fall in love with Kuzey. Kuzey is introduced to the viewers as immature and childish. But after losing four years of his life in prison, you see him trying to collect pieces of his life and make a living for himself, despite his enemies hindering him on every step of his journey. We see that regardless of his brash exterior, he is kind and values his family and friends above all. His character has the best growth over the seasons, an arc which worth applauding. The female lead is endearing, and makes you yearn for her to get the love she fights for and believes in so strongly.

Despite the brilliant writing, Kuzey Guney would have been nothing without it's actors. Last seen in Aski- Memnu, Kivanc Tatlitug is mesmerizing as Kuzey. His acting prowess is commendable, and this role is definitely one of his career highs. He deserves all praises heaped on him for this performance. Kivanc's chemistry with Oyku is off the charts. They make you want to fight for them. Apart from the main cast, the supporting actors are also stellar in their roles, especially Kuzey's father and Cemre's mother.

Do not give it a miss.
