Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Labeed Jafar Osman The presentation of this series is very good.And also the music, soundtracks, screenplays is very good.The soundtracks is one of the best soundtracks in Turkish series I have ever heard. Each and every cast is too good and suitable for those characters. Acting is very much strong and they portrait their characters beautifully and skillfully. The main lead characters are perfect in term of looks and acting and noted that ,they are the best Turkish actors till now as they got nominated with prestigious international awards named emmy awards. Engin won for this series and Tuba won for 20 dakika. The plot of this series was very strong and they can convert it to the best story of Turkish series if they put much more investigations and twists instead of making love-story. They can't do justice towards the character of Omer Demir, they should portrait this characters with more professionally for being a skillful cop. They can make history by developing this characters with logically,professionally and skillfully.I assure you that if you will start to watch this series you can't leave it in the middle of the path.

martin-fennell Kara Para Ask 9/10 My first Turkish drama, and on this evidence not my last. The story revolves around Omar a working class cop, and Elif, a girl from the upper echelons of society. Tragedy brings them together. So like Korean dramas, we have two people from different classes falling for each other. Of Course they start out, not being able to stand each other. Lke Korean dramas too, There is the girl from his past. But unlike k-dramas, this is not a character with bad intentions. but someone who under different circumstances could have been the heroine of the story. Someone also has designs on Elif. Unlike Korean dramas. there is a lot of kissing and hugging in this. Actually, for me it got too sappy. But perhaps that says more about me. Yep, Hugging seems to very popular in Turkey. It's not only hugging between the two leads, but also between families, and friends of families. There is a archvillain in this. Although you find out pretty early. It was quite a shock. Murders are committed by him, and for him. There are kidnappings, and shoot outs. In The area of excitement, the drama doesn't let you down. There are many characters, my favourite being Pelin. The song does not feature in the series. But there is some wonderful Turkish music What are the real faults of the drama. Well, as in Korean dramas, there are scenes where it looks like somebody is going to die. But they don't. Although not everyone survives. I'm not sure if this happens in Korean dramas. But the same things to more than one character. eg pregnacy. There are some scenes meant to convey tension, but you know what's going to happen. I guess also as some korean dramas, blood and gore are not seenAll the main characters are well drawn. and many of the minor characters too. The acting is terrific, and I can't fault anybody. One character is a bit of a crybaby. but in some ways her story is the most compelling, because you are not quiet sure how it will turn out. The drama will you give insight into Turkish culture, and their sayings. It aso shows the difference between Omar's family, who I guess are more traditional, and Elif's who are more modern. The lead male is not a very likable character. He is quiet impatient, and not averse to using his fists on suspects. Beside the main story, many of the characters have their own story.

meronsimeneh One of the best series I have ever watched, as a matter of fact I am not so much into series, but this one got me hooked so easily. Kara Para Ask (black money Love) or Tikur Fikir in Amharic is a success, it has been watched all over the world,a actually as far as I know it's translated into 16 or more languages, very exciting, I want to congratulate the producer, the director, the cameraman, the crew, all the actors and support acts involved in it! We should always remember without the whole gang the movie wouldn't have accomplished it's achievement. Elif and Omer are of course the gems, the lead actors they have nailed it! What a significant match and romance. I do not want to pass without commenting on Fetih and Nulfeir's love affair, Nulfier looks so innocent and fragile....just only wished if she doesn't cry a lot. Fetih's character is awesome, from how he was raised and how Tayer has manipulated him, it really make you believe as if it is a true story. Fetih well done!, that goes to your half-brother Mert as well. Think of Hussein and his wife too! They remind you of those old traditional couple who live next door. A superb family, I love how talkative and naive Hussien wife is :-). Omer's mom is also a brilliant actress! And how about his mistress....the Russian woman....hmm good role! KPA has so much cries which makes it look unreal at times, but it is OK. And there comes Tayer! He is so good at his role you feel like you want to strangle him yourself! How about Asli and her craziness? and Bahar and Levent...and all the rest of the crew whom I haven't mentioned have done great job! Fantastic team, the crew casting should be praised. Excellent music choice, dialects and phrases they used are fascinating you'd want to quote them next time. All the characters will remain with you for a long time. I noticed few editing flaws, but comparing to the length of the series that should not really matter. Some of the accidents and their recovery seems so fictitious. Around the end I feel like they have tried to stretch it and it was going to start to bore me but then again they pulled it back on the track, instead the finishing could have been more extended. All in all a beautiful must watch series. Enjoy!

celavalepinja Kara Para Ask(roughly translated to English as Black Money Love) is easily one of the best Turkish TV series out there. I usually hate Turkish series(I only watched Ezel before this) because they are all the same,based on the same story but just with different characters/locations. Fortunately,I was actually forced to watch this because I was in a hospital and my TV remote didn't work,so i was stuck on just one channel for 8 days. At first I was very suspicious because I had some stereotypes about Turkish TV series,but on the third day I was actually enjoying watching it. So what makes Kara Para Ask stand out in infinite bland of weeping women,endless tea drinking(they even rival the British people :D),and more weeping?THE GOOD: -Outstanding acting,especially for one Turkish seriesExplanation:The two main actors,Omer and Elif,are excellent and believable characters,their role really suits their appearance/style. Even antagonists(Tajar,Metin,miss Nedret)are really good and you actually start to hate them,which is always a sign that they nailed their acting. The only mediocre actress was definitely Nilufer(she is truly annoying as somebody already wrote).-Gorgeous locationsExplanation:Turkey is really a beautiful country,and this series really make the best of it stand out,with its top-notch camera work.The best thing is that there are actually quite a few locations in the series,as opposed to your usual Turkish series where there is like 3 houses in the whole series :D-Beautiful soundtrackExplanation:I fell in love with the sounds and songs of this series.I actually went so far that I downloaded 2 songs from it because they were perfect to play while having,um,some fun with my girlfriend.They really make everything much more compelling and believable.And I left the best for the end: -Amazing storyExplanation:The story is just a whole new level for the Turkish series.However they didn't even went far from your usual "love wins all" story,they just upgraded it.Instead of some usual characters you really have unique ones,everyone has its own strengths and weaknesses,and when Omer and Elif try to break through some tough times you are really sympathizing with them.The story is not just centered on the love of the two protagonists,its also centered on their families,and even love stories of some minor characters(Metin- Nilufer). All this really makes it stand out.The best thing:they minimized weeping,although some characters just can't do without it(Yes I'm looking at you Nilufer,if your tea isn't sweet enough that's not a reason to cry :D).Without all the tears the series actually just gained on emotional side.THE BAD:-Unrealistic violenceExplanation:Although Turkish censorship is pretty strict(no sex scenes,violence,even swearing),they could at least make it more believable by putting more realistic muzzle flashes/gun smoke because its pretty visible that it's fake.Another drawback is that every character holds the gun somehow awkward,even those who should know how to hold it(Omer/Husejin/other police officers). Yet another drawback is totally unrealistic wounds,I mean when you get shot to the head there is really a lot of blood,not just small red blurred dot.I know this ain't Saw or something but that could definitely be better.-Some kiss scenes were awkward AFExplanation:Although I know not anybody can make out like me :D a.k.a Casanova style,it's still somewhat expected when 2 people are married that they French kiss instead of your 10 year old kisses.The funniest thing is when Metin and Nilufer are making out because you can clearly see that there is no passion involved and Nilufer acts like she is kissing a Chernobyl boar,and not a human being(I can actually understand that,'cause Metin/Faith is ugly AF :D) But still,could be way better.-A bit repetitive plotExplanation:I already told that the story was cool,but after watching it for a while you really get used to all the plot twists and you can easily predict what will happen next.I don't know,maybe it's just me but after episode 40 i almost knew everything in advance.Sometimes you should just make thing go as planned,without any problems.That's it,thanks for reading! :)
