    Infinite thoughts

    This is the most attractive TV series that I have ever seen. The quality of acting and the logic of the writing affect like a magician all of the watchers. I hope it could be infinite!

    I know quantity of the expenses are really minimal, but also the the pleasure of spending time with watching that movie can not be defined as well as true.

    makes you wanna jump in and be a part of the magic!

    It's been a long time since i became an IMDb user and for the first time i couldn't help myself but write a review! I personally volunteer to write English subtitles for this wonderful most amazing TV show I have ever seen in decades.

    Coz this show has it all.. It's so cleverly written, acting is amazing and very well directed. It captures you and makes you wanna be a part of it just within a few episodes and you start feeling like these characters are your friends, their problems are your problems and their joys are yours as well. Each and every character has real dept and originality.

    It's also unique in a way that it can catch the young audiences' attention like no Turkish series could ever catch before.

    I'm thankful for all of the cast and crew for introducing this absurd comedy which is full of clever references, sarcasm and intelligence.

    Very well done. Two thumbs up, what the hell i'll just trow in a standing ovation as well. Keep up the good work.

    Completely Unique

    I never felt like before while watching a TV series. It makes you wanna laugh while you feel so sad at the same time. Character's joy and sadness are so pure that you feel these feelings inside yourself altogether, like a childhood memory.

    It is like a laughter when you see some friend falling accidentally or it is like a sadness when your ice cream slip away from its cone. "Leyla ile Mecnun" is totally surreal and absurd but it is so natural as well.

    The bad thing about the series is that some jokes or situations are very local in their content so that they can not be translated fully.

    Turkish Coupling

    A lot better of the American Coupling TV series, quality close to British coupling. The best Turkish TV series ever made. I prefer watching this , instead of classical Nbc TV series like How I Met Your Mother. I hope the quality goes on. The series start with a flashback , where we see two babies, who are meant to be together forever , a classical oriental far/middle east story. The background is the Bosphorus and Istanbul.Mecnun is in her mid twenties , still trying to graduate from high school and Leyla is in university, living in a mansion.Arda is the ex boyfriend of Leyla, whose father is doing business with Leyla's father and Leyla's father is in huge depth. He tries to convince his daughter to marry to Arda.Because it is an absurd comedy, you can see Mecnun in space , sometimes Leyla on an island after a plane crash (Oceanic Airways :) ), sometimes a friend of them trying to survive 147 hours on a mountain :)... The series created a huge fan group and still groving .

    Best Turkish Show

    Words are not enough to describe this show. It's more emotional than it's funny. You can watch this show to laugh or cry or not to feel alone.This show will be like your family after 6 episodes or such a number like that. This show is the best Turkish show you might possibly even watch and i think it can compete with most of the Hollywood made up TV-series. I hope they will get a movie soon or at least publish 2 more episodes so that we can see how it really ends.
