Twist of Fate (2021) User Reviews

Cemre Baysel is undeniably funny and adorable at the same time!

[marissareeka · 7/10 · 5 November 2021]

The reason why I watched this show at first was mainly because I wanted to see Cemre Baysel as the female lead and I was so glad 'Baht Oyunu' was her breakthrough as the first lead. I kind of remember her as the annoying girl "Biricik" in 'Sol Yanim' and I also thought at that time that she would be a big star in the near future. Well, if you notice, Cemre Baysel has a beautiful and attractive look to be the female lead in a show. It was a good thing that she took her first main role in 'Baht Oyunu'. She successfully played her character, Ada, in her very own way and undeniably funny as well as adorable here.

However, 'Baht Oyunu' wasn't that extraordinary show. It was quite entertaining at first few episodes but it had too much going on for a very simple storyline. The story was quite cliche, the additional characters were not too important for the whole show and too many unnecessary scenes.

Anyway, you all do not need to worry since 'Baht Oyunu' has a happy ending and beautiful closing. Good bye Ada and Bora, welcome Cemre and Aytac! Cheers!! 👍👍👍

Watchable but lacking a good plot

[mosquitocyn · 6/10 · 3 October 2021]

I'm at episode 6 but don't think I'll continue. It started interesting with funny moments. But the series really lacks a good plot. There's not much plot development, not a really deep chemistry between the 2 main leads and a number of annoying side characters. I guess it's ok if there's no other new series to watch but there's quite a few good new releases to choose from now.

Feel-Good, Hilarious, and Captivating Series!!! Highly recommended!

[certifiediska · 10/10 · 29 June 2021]

Damn son, I fell in love with the lead actors and the story on the first episode. Cemre Baysel is a revelation, she's hilarious! The story line and executions are not cringey unlike other Turkish romcom drama I watched, there are no loud characters and unnecessary scenes. I am loving the plot so far, and the lead actors has an insane and surreal chemistry. The romantic excitement and sexual tension between Ada and Bora are palpable. I am also watching simultaneously other summer dramas, but I can say that Baht Oyunu is unrivaled, what a promising and captivating romcom series! Highly recommended!

What I am not happy about is that I have to wait for another week for the new episode release.

Baht oyunu

[woodselvaduronay · 29 June 2021]

Loved the summer vibes of the show. Ada's personality stole my heart, as well as Bora and his niece relationship. Recommend watching it.

Average romcom

[krumins-25246 · 7/10 · 29 June 2022]

Until the 5th-6th episodes the show was boring, meaningless, no chemistry between the lead actors. But after that I started enjoying. Cemre Baysel is definitely funny and awesome, I love her laugh and smile.

ITS SO FUNNY

[sarorita-42568 · 10/10 · 1 July 2021]

THE MAIN GIRL CHARACTER FITS COMEDY SHOWS SO MUCH I CAN TELL SHE HAS A FUTURE <33333.

Great Turkish romance with lots of comedy...although Bora's harsh treatment maybe goes one step too far.

[cgvsluis · 7/10 · 19 September 2022]

I really enjoyed the lead actress Cemre Baysel in Senden Daha Güzel (TV Series 2022), that I sought out another series that she is in and found this one. I was not sorry either, Cemre was wonderful as Ada in this Turkish Romantic Comedy.

The story is about Ada who kindheartedly agrees to marry an Albanian immigrant named Rüzgar, who she meets while attending college, in order to help him gain Turkish Citizenship. Even though their marriage has been in name only (they live together but have different bedroos), Ada thinks she is in love with Rüzgar and when she sees him with an engagement ring thinks she is on the verge of a true marriage and happy life with her first love. You see Ada comes from a long line of superstitious women who believe that if they do not marry their first love, they are doomed to a tragic life of unhappiness. (One of the funnier moments is the sharing of the family photo album/scrapbook that depicts the long history of their unhappy lives and tragic events.) Ada's parents have both passed away and she was raised by two aunts...one who is living a tragic live because she didn't marry her first love and the eldest who in a marriage of opposites married a short man who loves her but with whom she initially didn't love (she is super tall...so they are visually quite comical together).

Ada being the kind hearted soul that she is...also pursuing her first love, drops out of school to work 2-3 jobs in order to help out Rüzgar who becomes a photographer at an on line newspaper (she helps him finish school, buys his camera, etc.). Rüzgar is ultimately kind of a selfish character and when Ada catches him kissing one of his coworkers...she decides to take a job at his place of work, which she has to lie saying she completed her college education, in order to get her fake husband/first love back. There she meets the boss, Bora.

This is one of those romantic comedies were our romantic lead ends up getting embroiled in all of these lies that snowball out of control.

The chemistry between the two leads is great and there story is quite good. Tugçe is a wonderful quasi villain. The Rüzgar character was really interesting and almost a secondary villain himself.

One complaint I had was that Bora's response to uncovering the lie was particularly harsh and then his method of punishment was more like degradation and that is really hard to come back from romantically. Sometimes too much is just that...too much, I am not sure I would have come back from that.

Overall this was a good solid romantic comedy on the shorter side at 17 episodes, that I would recommend to romantics out there. I particularly liked the interaction between Ada's family and Bora's family. Orphaned Elif really stole the show!

Pure rom-com drama.. 😍

[biswasrumpa · 10/10 · 24 June 2021]

Really obsessed with this series..😍 Ada's innocence and Bora's intelligence will surely make all the people fall in love with the drama.. The funny incident and that of the romance between them is like a rollercoaster ride. Must watch.. ❤❤

Well, what was i expecting!?

[mariamsaleh-50157 · 1/10 · 19 August 2021]

This is beyond horrible, horrific, etc... wtf. The plot: same as every other turkish drama. The pacing: slower than a turtle. The whole show: unnecessary.

A cocktail of all your favourite romcom pinings

[chocolateygal · 10/10 · 1 July 2021]

Honestly after following a good number of Turkish romcoms, I have noticed only some on them tend to stick to their theme of being a romcom, whereas most of them enjoy basking over the ocean of emotion or drama, because Drama is indeed very enticing. However, in a world of pandemic packed with back to back doses of drama, this dizi (series) is so endearing to watch. Firstly the show is in it's 3rd episode, yet it has covered all the romcom tropes we have desired in our past favourite shows. 2nd and very importantly, kudos to the writers for being able to deliver some serious emotion evoking issues through a jovial and playful platform. That actually makes you stronger to face those real circumstances, instead of sitting down with boxes of tissues.

Finally, the show is a romcom to it's very deep end. That is apart from the storyline focusing on the rendezvous of the pair, it will make you laugh like crazy.

To sum up here is the storyline- With the developing trend of attaining citizenship, many marry for it. Just like that a girl happens to marry a boy to grant him immigration. However, it is in about days when she discovers the boy who she is married to and happen to worship is sort of in an affair with another woman from his company. To save her marriage, she decides to get work in that company, only to meet the man who she actually falls for. Yes the very clichéd boss- assistant romance. However it is packed with volumes of laughter rather than the typical eye glances. Also here is the actual twist, the woman who had an affair with her husband, is actually head over heels in love with this boss in the company. So yeah, it's a love triangle. However, it's so refreshing to watch. And it makes you question yourself about serious things in life, for example are we actually in love with a person we think we are in love with?

Do tune in every Tuesdays on Kanal D to watch it live at 8pm. And if you don't understand Turkish, watch it with subtitles.

This series is really very bad. T

[sagitariangirl-70673 · 1/10 · 26 August 2021]

This series is really very bad. The performance of the main actors lacks acting codes. The main female character has a very imposing tone of voice and repeats all the time like a mantra: "Bora Bay". It is not a funny story and it has the classic assistant boss relationship so hackneyed and clichéd.

Very nice series for real it's the best ever

[liaross-34228 · 10/10 · 6 July 2021]

[delinacortez · 10/10 · 5 August 2021]

I'm obsessed with this show. I can tell you right now, its gonna be the next trending show. This series is crazy hilarious and consist of such a fabulous cast. It's insanely comedic and the chemistry between the main couple of this show is unreal. The actors needs to be praised.

Perfection! Makes me want to learn Turkish!

[samuelTVfan · 10/10 · 5 August 2021]

Everything the other positive reviews have said is 100% true; the acting and chemistry of the two leads is amazing! The story itself is also entertaining. I really can't think of anything negative to say. Do you like comedy and romance? If so, you probably just found your new favorite show.

Baht oyunu

[daabasiman · 5/10 · 12 December 2021]
