Came across the series on Netflix a couple of months ago by accident.
After watching the first episode I was totally captivated by the story and the beauty of the cinematography and music. I cannot say enough about episodes 1 - 14.
For me the magic disappears as the relationship falls apart in Turkey and the show takes on a very different character. I read the book but still cannot grasp the ending.
Cannot say enough about Kivanc. He is the magic that carries the story.
I am Austrian living in the United States. I love watching European and foreign movies. They are very different from productions in the US.
