Wow! Black Money Love,(BML) I rated 9/10.  I was leaning towards 10/10, but the plots were an overkill. Elif seem to have had some insecurities… The  trap set up for Arda didn’t make sense. Talgo showed up at the scene and neither Ipek of Talgo told Arda that it was a trap. The police shared too much info with relatives like Omer telling Elif details of the investigation. Omg! Elif got herself in trouble again! So annoying…😲🤦‍♀️ Poor kid, Yagiz is now an orphan. Ipek death, so sad… Erme got killed for helping the police, and not much investigation were done afterwards.  Is it Pelo or Pelin? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Tayyar died by suicide, after Omer convinced him to take his own life. But based on Tayyar personality, it didn’t make a lot of sense, that he would take his own life, without putting up a fight. The Plotting’s were definitely an overkill.    Huseyin never really loved his brother as he claims. He sabotaged every investigation and protected Tayyar to the very end.  Huseyin was just as evil and trifling as Tayyar. Fatih and Nilufer had a dysfunctional relationship. It was nice to see the commitment they had for each other. Elif and Omer, beautiful love story. They had great chemistry! Both loved and cared for people. They were great together. I would love to see them working together again. Overall all, the actors were excellent! I love, BML. I watched it twice. ❤️❤️❤️

Intersection was great in the beginning. Loved Naz and Ali Nejat! They were great until she started arguing about everything Ali Nejat did. She did not allow Ali Nejat to be himself, and that is important in a relationship. I was hoping that Naz and Ali Nejat would work things out and I was disappointed in him, as he was getting ready to call the wedding off. Ali Nejat left his fiancée with his son and instead of going home first to check on his family, he went to his lover. I was very disappointing in his behavior and that he went back to Eylul. I was hoping that he was mature and responsible enough to do the right thing, and keep his promise to Naz. It was sad when Naz was killed. I don’t think Ali Nejat nor Umut mourned Naz death long enough. The same two men who were basically fighting over her…Naz was there for Umut and his family when he got arrested and be spoke of her death as she was just someone he knew, not someone he used to love, married and had miscarried their babies. I love Kaan and Enver…gorgeous, level head man. Overall great acting. The ending was horrible. Netflix and the Turkish government need to work it out and release season 4 or what’s left of season 3.

Abused by his guardian Emperor Ta Hwan struggles with loneliness and insecurity. As Prime Minister El Temur was sure to keep him uneducated so Tahwan would be his puppet and El Temur rule. Ta Hwan sent to be exiled in Goryeo and just like his father, he lived each day fearing for his own life and chooses to act like a fool in front of the officials. Deep in his heart, anger, hatred, and sadness haunts him. Lacking confidence in himself because he was told he is not capably of doing anything. The pain he suffered was almost unbearable, fearing for his life from the very person he suspected to have murdered his dad. He was a prisoner in his own kingdom. He had no where to go because there were no one that he could truly trust. He never made any true friends because the people he trusted was poisoned by greed and envy. Until TaHwan met Seung Nyang, to him, she was the light in the dark world that he lived. The only true friend he had and the friend he betrayed. Longing to rekindle his friendship with Seung Nyang and wanted to make up to Seung Nyang for betraying her. Seung Nyang, very presence gave him strength. She empowered him, gave him courage and helped him to break away from El Temur and other officials. Seung Nyang was Ta Hwan world. Eventually, his insecurities led him to murder a good man. Wang Yu the King of Goryeo, who loved Seung Nyang deeply and gave his life for her and with all the favors he has done for her, helped Ta Hwan to become the Emperor. Ta Hwan did not steal Seung Nyang from Wang Yu. Even though he would, if he could. She return to be the royal Concubine with full knowledge of what that led to, with the intension to gain power to avenge her parents, her son and her friends death. She chose revenge over love. Both the Seung Nyang and Ta Hwan got rid of all their enemies, at least that what Ta Hwan thought. She became the Empress, a title she fully deserved, but, was revenge worth the lives of more love ones and friends? What was interesting to me, is that Seung Nyang never tried finding her brother. Wang Yu the King of Goryeo loved Seung Nyang deeply. I believed Wang Yu felt guilty for abandoning Seung Nyang even though he did not intentionally abandon her. Wang Yu did not deserve to died, but Ta Hwan resented him from the beginning, not only because he was competing for Seung Nyang, but because he felt that the King of Goryeo disrespected him while he in exile in Goryeo. The Goryeo King was harsh with him and threw him, the Emperor to the floor because he thought Ta Hwan wan looking down on Goryeo. I believe that Seung Nyang loved the King and the Emperor. The measure of her love for each is uncertain, but she loved both and they loved her.
