I started to watch it few months ago and shortly after a few first episodes it became a part of my daily life. I loved and followed and recommended it to every friend of mine because as an Iranian I related to many part of it culturally. It was well done and except a few minor (whys and how comes...), I truly hooked to this and it glued me to my monitor. I had my breakfasts, lunches and dinners for few months even in bed till 3 am on my tablet... do not need to say this was the longest tv series I have ever seen! I have to tell you this was my first Turkish series and I have to admit the way it ended in last minutes of last episodes (267) , was extremely disappointing, annoying and sadly with terrible impression!!! I expected after tremendous frustrations Emir must have had exploded and Kemal must have survived first if the director or writer of the last episode insisted to have minor changes in ending. The way it ended, gave me the feeling of my time is wasted, bribing and corupption wins at the end! It also brought misjudgment and trust in Turkish justice system. To be honest, just because of last episode and the way it was ended, I do not wish to watch any Turkish series for certain length of time! I do not know how much time I need to heal from the disappointment of the time I had spent watching this lovely series. It killed all the hope and struggle someone could wish when they fight for what they believe in: LOVE. I love to get response from the writer or director of ending episodes!

This was a brilliant production; in that casting was spot on ,the atmosphere and lighting were gorgeous and the writers know how to spin a good yarn but why did it all feel so pointless when I got to the end?

Okay everyone. You really have to take my word for this. Kara Sevda is one of the best series i have ever seen in my life. Its so emotional and real, the characters in the series are amazing! Really guys, if you haven't seen Kara Sevda yet, you have to go and watch it right now. I love the bond between Kemal and Nihan, i feel like its a real thing in the real world. I could watch this all day and never get tired. I have always loved to watch Turkish series, because I am familiar with the culture. I really recommend all of you to watch Kara Sevda, when I am at school everyday, I can 't wait to come home and watch It. And season 2 is out soon, i really can't believe it. Everything Is so dramatic in this series, the characters are so good. I mean, you can't even find that good characters in America. I really feel blessed, because i understand this series. If you haven't watched it yet, believe me.. you really should.

Started watching this series recently and completely in awe ! How can anyone make such a long story flawless. It makes you laugh, cry and above all love every bit of it to an extent you start living those characters. Best part is story and characters are quite real and relatable with subtle and genuine emotions portrayed. Its not that such love stories were never made, but the way its made and presented makes it stand high. Hats off to the entire team - story writer, director, actors, and the people working behind the camera. If i have to describe it in two words - Sweet Addiction

I don't have enough words to recommend this Turkish show - 1st episode - it takes a while to get into it, but you will be captivated by the end of episode 2. Love all the characters in the show - Script writers have done an amazing job with this TV series - I hope it will go on to series 3 - we will see. Kemal and Nihan - have got so much chemistry together - it's hard to imagine that it's otherwise in real life - Kemal's acting skills - BRILLIANT. Emir is the one person in the show that you will either love or hate. He is a psychopath - I can't describe him in any other way. I think it's filmed in Istanbul - location and views are beautiful - I watch the show with English subtitles .

The screen writers must all be sociopaths/narcissists. Evil always wins even in the end. Think they lived their evil, sick dreams through this story. I'm taking note of who screenwriters are and will never watch anything they write ever again.

I will definitely not watch season 2 of this series despite the excellent acting.

This story has many plots and twists which are good but evil always wins. Life is enough, and we watch stories to escape. But stories like this just emphasises the evil and glorifies it. It would've received a 10 rating from me if good could win in the end. This is a big no thank you from me.

Please please please, how can any director story teller let kara Sevda end in such a terrible cruel way??? I can now not think of this movie as being good. I would have given it 10 if Emir stepped on that landmine which he planted for Kemal. Revolting obnoxious most disappointing movie I have ever seen. Directors should be ashamed of themselves giving such a story where they fought so hard for love, such a cruel ending.👹👹👹👹Disgusting, I have no words and have no wish to watch it again. What for?? You made a fool of the public as well as the actors. What bad reports you got for doing this. Shame on the producers and directors of this movie, shame on you!!!!

It took couple of days for me to write the review of this magnificent show. Honestly, my heart is still hurt after watching it as up to now I still cannot accept the fact how it ended. Frankly speaking, the story was promising and captivating but at the same time it was devastating to watch the last two episodes. Each episode had me shocked and trembled to imagine what would come in the next episode.

The performance of each character was mesmerizing. Especially, the two main leads, they had such extraordinary chemistry to the extent that I couldn't have words to describe. The storyline was well-made, the cinematography was great and last but not least the plot twists and surprises you would experience in the entire episodes.

Well done, Kara Sevda! You have made my life like a roller coaster from the very first episode to the end. Thumbs up!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Kara sevda is the best series I've ever watched and after watching it I found all the other turkish dramas nothing compare to this. Neslihan's acting as nihal was just fabulous and also this is the first time I loved the villian's charecter in a drama I truly love this show till now. If you haven't watched it yet go and watch it this very instant.

Thanks to the great production, screen writing and awesome actors the term/concept kara sevda has been brought to the homes around Europe and the world. Kara Sevda drama romance (telenovela) with its modern and traditional elements, has reached a new level as a genre.The atmosphere of beautiful scenery, dramatic action, music and dynamic dialogues created a real work of art. Furthermore, the talented and professional acting has been done on a highest level. The wonderful presentation of a range of human emotions was immediately recognized and strongly felt by the audience (viewers). Also, the character development throughout the show was made on a highly original psychological level. As a result the show became a well deserved worldwide success. Kara sevda as a concept has its roots known in history, music, literature and poetry as well. Accordingly, the script, despite many reactions, is original, exciting and loyal to the story line and the title of the romance. To conclude, Kara Sevda with its many drama elements, exciting love story, adventurous plot and amazing characters is certainly worth of the critics to have their words about it in the future, as well as it deserves their respected analysis and attention.

Extremely believable acting by Neslihan. All the characters in this series have their dark sides, weaknesses, secrets, strange kind of love. KARA Sevda kind (Dark).

A lot of contradictions, exaggerations, and gaps in this work..Emir is not a god,Zeynep was not a lover she was a btch and a traitor,Kamal s family was so low,a heart breaking and terrible ending,life is already hard as it is the bad guys are winning couldn't you just let them lose in a TV series!...the most beautiful thing in Kara Sevda was Nihan..

There is irony in this title endless love, for it ends in a pretty harsh manner.

The realist, most passionate series I have ever seen, so much chemistry between the actors, so much emotion, and it is even making me the viewer emotional, I really hope that the producers will some day soon please bring us one or two more seasons, just two is not enough. I have started to watch the series from episode one again.

I'd say watch the first 15 episodes and you can stop there. The storylines/reasons for them not being able to get together is just absurd and unbelievable towards the middle and last episodes. Apparently the villain of the story has some kind of magical power over her and makes her stay to him /sarcasm.

The two lovers get close, and then some incredulous reasons she is somehow forced to go back, and for some reason can't explain to him what's going on. . Or she leads him on, and then all of a sudden, it's too impossible to be together. Besides that, no man I know would want to be with someone so narcissitic and emotionally weak (literally crying every 5 minutes) as Nihan. She was just annoying as anything, and I actually found myself rooting for Kemal and Asu (a much better pair in my opinion, than for Nihan to even be in the picture so to speak. You kind of have the same disgust for her that you do for Emir, her husband. It was so promising but then declines from there. The amount of crying the female lead does over the course of the show probably could fill up an ocean. Seriously - it seems she's crying at least 70% of any episode!

OMG 74 episodes...too long...but remarkable acting of the trio. Music is excellent. Neslihan and ger daughter looked so pretty .... one can endlessly watch them with joy. I nicknamed my granddaughter Pammu after watching the serial.

Excellent plot but too extensive 280 episodes. The plot could have been wrapping the drama in less than 280 episodes
