Let's be realistic.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I recently discovered Turkish series and already watched Kara Sevda and Kardesim Benim by Burak Ozcivit. I enjoyed those some what.
Now, aside from the fact that he is handsome, I think he is fairly decent actor, good voice control and can cry on the spot (seems to be important in Turkish screens). Same can not be said for Fahriye Evcen, lovely, gorgeous and obviously a model, she can not act. Her reactions are over the top, and her voice just comes off as "theatrical" in every scene, almost as if she is in a parody or a parody of her real self. She needs more coaching and better direction. There is a scene in the beginning where she is surprised and falls to the ground is cringe worthy. As for the movie; the story line is simple, boy meets girl, falls in love, girl has a secret etc, etc. If you are in for a romantic movie, it's a perfect plot. However, the scenes leading the couple falling in love are to few and pretty weak. There are holes in the plot you can drive a semi-trailer through. It is endless closeups of the two actors. Past the love story there is the return of the "evil ex". Again, not enough plot, to build something with this story line either.
The point of the movie is confusing:
If the movie is about their love; there is not enough plot to support that
If the movie is about the evil ex and her true identity; there is nowhere near enough to support that plot either
The movie is 1h45m long and everything happens in the last 10 mins. Viewers need a bit more story telling than that.
Additionally, I didn't find her singing very charming. It is so high pitched that its uncomfortable. But this is a Turkish thing, once you are beautiful and popular, they will get you singing. There are many examples of that in Turkish entertainment industry. I strongly feel, she should avoid that trap and be discouraged on the singing. It cheapens the already amateurish acting.
Finally, the end is almost laughable. (spolier alert) Burak Ozcivit's character dies but leaves a teary eyed widow and a child behind... Now where have we seen that before??
What happens to the evil ex, how he dies? how she survives? all loose ends. If it's supposed to be intriguing to the viewer, it really isn't. It just looks rushed and lazy
Really boring movie and really boring end.
Beautiful scenery in a charming Turkish coast, and that kind of makes up for wasting 1h45m of my life (almost)
Here is my personal take on the "reason" for this film being made; I know this couple is well loved and respected in Turkey. I also think they are adorable. They met in a series called Calikusu and made this movie just after that. It is made by Burak Ozcivits production company and I think he wanted to have a project with her and rushed into this one to keep her close. As this is the movie where the actors fell in love and eventually got married. Good for them!
We love a good celebrity marriage and movie projects, but please make better movies, find better story lines. Fahriye, get some more acting lessons, and please don't sing - let professionals take on the singing. You are doing fine without the singing.

The worst movie i've ever seen, really! So rotten, so boring, so dumb! Couldn,t make it to the end! My last experience with Turkish movies.Unprecedented crap... The guy playing the lead didn't even look handsome, the girl was ugly with her froggy huge mouth smile & looked unwashed with her greasy hair/// No acting, just pulling faces, no singing, just squeaking, no story, just...nothing.Producers and actors must respect their viewers, it's us who bring them money. I feel hurt and robbed! Complete flop!Such a stuff must never be shown on TV or in a movie theatre, if they don't have any talent, they should study and learn something first. It's a big shame for Turkey to make such "movies"##########

Seriously crap movie! It's just a drama to make drama. Pointless drama. All because they cannot communicate. It will just make you angry that you went to see this pointless drama. I know the girls want to see the actor real bad, but everybody at the cinema was saying what a pointless movie it was!It starts OK. Charming actor. Chasing the girl...But then it starts with hiding the truth and the consequence of that is shown. But it is so unnecessary. The music never fits the movie. It's all over the place. I wish someone warned me.

Extremely disappointed with this film. It was exceptionally bad from start to finish, from acting to music, from whatever you can think of to whatever you can't think of. The film started off joyful at this point it sort of hits you that it's going to be a movie of stupid and unrealistic turn of events, decisions and mistakes by the protagonists. Cheesy quotes, exaggerated reactions, unnecessary scenes etc. You get the point.It was bearable until the second half of the movie when you can no longer understand or come up with a logical thinking pattern to the decisions characters were making. Makes you sigh, pull your hair and want to cut yourself. The music didn't make it any better either. The woman protagonist sang a couple of the songs herself and I really don't think her high pitched squeaking while trying to sing helped the cause.In the end, I was glad it was over and would steer away from movies that are written by Bedia Ceylan Guzelce for the remainder of my life.
