Hands-down to Alperen Duymaz's performance. Aside from being a gorgeous face, his performance as Ayaz is astounding. He carried the character well and he has this certain charm in him that I found very endearing to watch. And his eyes is...OMG! it conveys everything. From longing to love, to hatred, to helplessness...he could make you cry ugly if you have a weak heart. And Ayca's performance as Firuze is amazeballs...this show is highly recommended.<3<3<3<3
