I have just finished watching this for the second time! I have never been a soap fan, or one for tear jerking romance but I love Istanbul (been 4 times) so this caught my eye. Although it is quite silly in parts and there are lots of loose ends, who cares!? The plot is addictive, the characters so well rounded and well acted, the leads are gorgeous, the outfits amazing and the scenery wonderful. I can’t believe how many boxes of tissues I got through, even the second time! Efe is divine, even though he is my son’s age! I hope Netflix doesn’t take this off, I will want to watch again!
