Frères Rivaux

i cant explain... where should i start, storyline awesome and acting of all the people is really admirable.. i love the main actress oyku karayel.. she is such a natural beauty, season 1 is a bit boring, not soo much impressive, but season 2 is just wow, watching kivanc crying hard is so much painful, because of this reason, many of his fans love him much more, season 2 is really tragic, but finally kuzey cemre love wins and they are together ;) bugra acting skills are also good, but i really hate zeynep :/ she was very annoying and awful ...sinaners family members showed their best performance... :) really hate simay deeply... :/ :/ after a lot of patience of viewers.. they finally made kuzey cemre couple and saved the audience from death.. :p lol <3

Scenario and cast are awesome in this series. In my opinion,Kuzey Güney above other Turkish series. Kivanç Tatlitug has done very well.

Kuzey,Güney(North,South),they are brothers.Güney is elder one.Four years ago,Kuzey and Güney fell in love with same girl,(Cemre)but they don't know.One day Kuzey decided to confess his love to Cemre but when he saw, Cemre and Guney was kissing.At that time Kuzey was to be demolished,he fulfilled with anger to his brother and Cemre.Kuzey went to the tavern for drinking.He was drunk and his brother came for go to the home together.Kuzey wants to drive car but Güney didn't allow this.While Güney driving car,They started to fight in car.Finally car stroke a person while fighting.They were shocked.He was dead...Police came Tekinoğlu House.Police asked who is murderer.But at this time Kuzey suddenly showed up and Answered me..No one stopped him and Kuzey went to prison for 4 year .But He gained the most badass villain in prison.He is Ferhat.He was pain in the ass for Kuzey.Kuzey learned how to fight for protect everything for lovers and save pride.He is so pride honorable and honest person.While fighting in prison,Kuzey was bad hurt with glass.Kuzey had a wound which is non-healing on stomach.After released prison,Kuzey fulfilled anger to his family especially Güney for taking his life and his love.And scenario begins with releasing.This serial has flashbacks that help know what's going on past,prison.But 4 years later.Kuzey and Güney are different each other like their names.But his nightmare which is Ferhat,shows up in Kuzey's life to the outside...

In recent years, Turkish TV series have gained quality and there were great productions like Ezel, Ask-I-Mennu, Walley of Volwes or Binbir Gece (1001 Nights), but the level is now even higher with this one.

Overall good story, great directing, great cast and great role playing for each and every actor and actress from Kivanc Tatlitug to everybody else... Even from the first episode, the series starts with a very good way of story telling.. sometimes extremely heavy drama deep into family relations, angers, feelings in a realistic way..

Initially I am impressed how Kivanc improved his acting skills, best up to date. he plays a young man with a good heart but with lots of drawbacks and in a way weird personal attitudes... All family members are giving top performances in my opinion, especially the father.. Also I am impressed how the past is successful shot. The past is shot much better than with other series, you almost think that Kivanc is really a teenager when they were shot. The relation between the brothers, and with other family members are extremely well analysed and played.

Yes, there are things to criticize as well.. after the 5th or 6th episode you start to loose the main purpose of the story. What would Kuzey (Kivanc) want to achieve? What is his goal? Where is the TV series going to in general? I ask these questions because this story could end easily if the main character Kuzey knew what he really wanted.. However, I won't go into more detail not give away any spoilers for readers..

Anyway, I watched episode 9 until now and I am still watching with great pleasure...

Final words: I strongly recommend...!!!! :))

It was a great trailer. This is my favourite turkish serial because kivanc acting is awesome the way he sacrifices fof his brother and the way he gets matured and also he is very brave.
