Gül Masali

Firstly, the scenery in Isparta is a plus attraction. As with many series, episode 1 is interesting with the characters being introduced and the male and female leads interacting with each other. I liked Erdem Kaynarca's acting in Ada Masali but am not getting much from him in this role. The story is supposed to unravel painful mysterious secrets that would impact the relationship of both the leads. I'm patiently watching episode 4 but am fast losing patience with the development. It's getting boring and lack of interesting characters. There's the usual jealous wanna-be girlfriend, quite a few nasty characters .... I'm waiting and hoping that the female lead can be stronger and develop a use of her engineering skills as she settles in her late mom's estate. Right now, she's unemployed although with good qualifications and supposed to be good at her profession. If there's no excitement or huge cliffhanger by the end of episode 4, I may not continue with this series.

The lead character Gonca, is like an over-emotional nice girl. She's supposed to be displayed as a smart, driven, grieving young lady, yet she is indecisive, Gullible, and comes off as weak. Also, she doesn't seem to appreciate Toprak, at least from what we can see in the first few episodes it feels like she acts impulsively toward him disregarding his feelings even though she's supposed to be caring. She looks more unto Arda even though he invaded Toprak's privacy to get his drawings. The whole plot is confusing and unnecessarily dragged. I get she's finding out unexpected truths, However, Still, she's grieving like her mother just passed away a week before, rather than a few years ago which adds to the unnecessary emotional flare-up and unauthenticity. Appreciate the idea of it though. Just wish the characters and actions were more authentic and relatable. Emotions people could realistically picture feeling or living through.
