After watching episode 27, I finally felt relieved, because the “sea has overflowed” at last: Adil knows, Eleni knows… everyone except Fadime, who is still unaware of the secret, even though she clearly suspects that Iso is hiding something from her. Adil’s trust in Iso will inevitably be betrayed, and Iso will suffer the consequences. Yes, he lied to protect his “family”, but he will lose Fadime, and their relationship — especially their trust — will shatter. Especially because Fadime herself also seems to be hiding something. When Eleni is finally found — and I don’t think it will happen immediately, but rather near the end of episode 29 — Adil will take revenge on the Fortunas. One of his lines already seems to foreshadow this “revenge”, and honestly, he would be justified, because the writers love making us suffer before giving us a family reunion. I already have a mental map of the story up until episode 30, but from episode 31 onward, I expect complete chaos… maybe even fire everywhere 👀. I think every Fortuna will pay the price for hiding the truth, including Iso and Oruç. As for Iso, I believe he will either sacrifice himself or put himself in danger to protect someone. That act could somehow “absolve” him from the sin of hiding the secret from the Koçarii family, who slowly accepted him as one of their own. However, I also believe that season 2 will not begin with “Iso”, but with Ismael Fortuna: a completely different man from the one we know now — colder, darker, and more ruthless, a side of him we have only briefly seen this season. Fadime will have worn the wedding dress for the man she loves, only to lose him almost immediately afterward. I do not think Iso will die — in fact, I’m convinced he will become even more important in season 2 — but I do believe they will be separated. Eleni may leave for Harvard and move away from Trabzon to rediscover herself. Either Adil or Esme could go with her, but I think Esme is more likely, especially after her line: “I will find my mother and we will leave Trabzon.” Still, I believe Eleni could return in season 2 for a specific reason. Oruç’s fate, however, is the one I find hardest to predict. What will be the price of his silence? As for Esme, it is now obvious that she is suffering from hallucinations, so I do not think Adil will truly be able to blame her. Her silence also comes from deep pain and complicated reasons. In the end, Fadime may gain a niece… but lose the man for whom she wore the wedding dress, returning to being simply Fadime Koçarii: the girl we met in the very first episodes. That is why I believe season 2 will begin with a time skip of several months, with the tension between the Fortuna and Koçarii families still at its peak. And then the arrival of Fatih Fortuna will change everything. Because Fatih will be even worse than Şerif and directly connected to both Iso and Oruç. While Oruç seems to hate him deeply, Iso appears emotionally torn apart: for him, Fatih was once a role model, almost someone he admired and worshipped. I am convinced that Iso’s trauma is connected to Fatih. He probably witnessed something that made him feel completely powerless. And after Oruç’s line on the boat — “You are the only innocent one” — I feel that he was not only referring to the current situation, but also to something much deeper connected to their past

Hi everyone, here’s the weekly thread on Tasacak Bu Deniz where you can share anything related to the series whether it was yesterdays episode, theories on the season finale and the next season, or if you just want to express your feelings on anyone in the series.

Yesterday’s episode of TBD was the most emotionally charged one yet. Eleni’s kidnapping, the pure evil we saw from multiple characters such as Sirin and even Zarife, Adil finding out Eleni is his daughter; I have never felt my heartbeat faster while getting goosebumps and numb legs at the same time from how emotionally charged this episode was. I have to congratulate the cast for their incredible performance because honestly, for 2 hours, I forgot it was fiction. I cried and felt all the feelings such as Eleni’s helplessness when kidnapped in that room alone just waiting for when she would get out, Esme being tortured by her hallucinations, the exchange which I knew was going to go wrong, Adils terrifying screams, etc. Honestly I was not in the right headspace after watching that episode. I got up like a zombie afterwards, not knowing or feeling anything but the emotions of that episode. This is the best Turkish series I have ever watched and trust me I’ve watched plenty.

So after I’ve recovered from what I call post-TBD syndrome, I’ll share my thoughts on EVERYTHING, yes everything that I can think of that relates to the episode, the season finale, season 2, and other theories about what’s going to happen now that Adil knows Eleni is his daughter.

Yesterdays episode:

• Sirin is absolutely disgusting and she should be punished the same punishment as her useless son. Because shes the real culprit, the real barrier to peace. Had she let Adil deal with Serif accordingly, peace would be possible. But shes the one who saves Serif every time, making peace impossible. I loved how Eleni clocked her and told her off about how she’s just a selfish hag, etc.

• That ginger witch H*cran also needs to be spared no mercy. Also are people seriously still shipping her and Gezep?!?!? I mentioned how disgusting this was a while ago, yet people still don’t want to understand that shes a CRIMINAL. I actually saw fans or should I say mentally ill individuals that were upset at Feride and Gezep being together in front of Hicran. PEOPLE WAKE UP!! Hicran is basically the devils daughter who sold Eleni and snitched on Esme, and tried to hurt Eleni when she came to Trabzon, and now helped Serif to try to take out Adil omg I’m so done with the crazies who still want her around I will PARTY when she’s gone

• Zarife… trying to get rid of Adil huh? Saying that if any Kocari stays alive is a threat huh? What was she going to do after Adil? Take out Fadime, her son’s wife? Anything but to be held accountable for your crimes smh. And does she think that when Oruç and Iso find out (hopefully they do!!) that she tried to get rid of Adil, that they’ll ever look at her again? This woman needs to be punished as well, for her crimes she committed 20 years ago and for trying to get rid of Adil, the pure evilness was so difficult to watch

• Eleni you’re a very smart girl! You should’ve known at that moment when that questioned the old hag about what you are to Adil, that you’re his daughter! Put two and two together girl!!!! But God I felt for that girl, and now they’ve kidnapped her once again. But from that ad we saw for next week, her face looks very angry and it honestly scared me. She will not let go of this easily. I felt for that girl, I cried with her when she was locked up, she came to Trabzon as one girl and is now a completely different one. Her sin? Being the daughter of Adil Kocari :’(.

• Now I’m the biggest IsFad lover and defender but guys the proposal scene was just in bad taste I’m sorry. Like the tensions are at an all time high with Eleni being kidnapped, the secret slowly coming to light, no one is in the right headspace, and that’s when Iso decides to propose? I mean read the room! The proposal was very sweet don’t get me wrong and I was very happy for them as I always am, but the timing was wrong. And especially them going to Adil and asking for his blessing and if they can get married officially as he’s on his way out to look for Eleni, it was just not the right time. But this strange timing makes me believe that they’re trying to get the wedding to happen in the season finale so they can drop a huge bombshell or make something crazy happen in that wedding which I’ll share my theories about in the upcoming sections…

• Behcet and all the other Furtuna men who blindly worship Serif GO TO HELLLLL!!!! Wouldn’t be mad if Adil took all of them out. Hope he does.

• Oruç reissssss ate in this episode especially as he told his grandma off in that phone call like YESSIR!!! And him protecting iso, making sure that Adils wrath doesn’t affect him was so sweet. Has anyone else noticed that they’re trying to show us the brotherhood and love between iso and Oruç a lot recently, especially with Oruç being protective of Iso? Makes you think that this has something to do with Fatihs upcoming arrival.

• Ilve girl pray for mercy because Adils wrath is immense and hes probably going to come after you first after the furtunas.

Overall a very crazy episode. The acting was insane.

Season Finale:

Well the season finale is around the corner and my theories are strong!! So let me just brain dump what I think may happen!!!

• Fadime and Isos wedding will occur and something will happen to iso. There was just way too much foreshadowing that something will happen to Iso in yesterday’s episode and even before. The constant reminders that Isos the only innocent one, he needs to be protected, Zarife telling Fadime about what it feels like to lose a husband snd iso intervening saying she won’t lose her husband or her brother, Adil in the new ad saying we’ll hit them when or where they least expect it and if yall think about it they might sacrifice iso because he’s the only one that’s available to them as hes married into the family and hurting iso will hurt the rest of the family because everyone loves him since he’s innocent. Whew! Way too much stuff thst was said. Now what exactly will happen? I don’t know. One part of me says Fadime is going to leave him at the wedding altar to hurt him, another part of me says that she will leave him AND after that he will end up being shot…who will shoot him is the mystery, it could be Eyuphan (out of jealousy and spite since Adil didnt separate them), Serif (he finds out that Iso was lying to him the whole time and betrayed him) or Fatih (hes not going to be targeting iso maybe Adil or someone else but he hits Iso by accident and that’s how we get an intro to his character and who he is) and then were left on a cliff hanger. I don’t think iso will die because he’s important to the story especially with Fatihs arrival iso will be an even more critical character. But yeah something’s definitely going to happen to him I can smell it from here. But I swear to God if something happens to Iso, if they make him die or become evil or ruin his character, I will never watch Turkish tv again and that is an oath I’m willing to take. Because if they ruin the sweetest man in this series, there’s no point in this at all anymore.

• did anyone see the alleged actor for Fatih? He looks like a great actor for Faith!! I’ve seen him act in other projects and hes a good actor, his face looks like the evil older brother type, of that’s really him they did an excellent job in casting

Season 2:

As I already said we saw a lot of Oruç and Isos brotherhood being shown recently which makes me think that it’s related to Fatihs arrival next season. Oruç seems to hate Fatih with every fiber of his body but iso seems conflicted. We might see challenges in their relationships and hidden wounds resurface when Fatih comes back. I think a lot of Isos wounds are because of Fatih and his potential sudden departure when he was younger, maybe he looked up to him a lot and something happened.

By the way, do you guys think Esme and Adil will start calling her Aleyna instead of Eleni? Since Eleni is a name that is associated with her being sold and forced away from them?? Could Eleni decide to legally change her name? This would be an interesting topic!!!

I’ve written quite a bit but this is all I can think of right now. Feels good to let out thoughts. Feel free to share your thoughts and theories, let’s discuss!!!

I’ve never watched a Turkish drama before and I have a couple of options which I’ve gathered from the internet, options which all seem pretty good.

1. Sevdigim Sensin

2. Arafta

3. Yali capkini

Apologies if I spelt anything wrong but the thing is, there are loads of mixed opinions on these dramas. Like a lot. So much so that I can’t decide if I should watch it or not. And since it’s my first time watching a drama, I don’t want it to be a bad one where I’m gonna stop watching after a few episodes.

If anyone has watched these three dramas, can you guys give me like a mini review and your thoughts on it and if you think i should watch it or not? This would help me out so much!

Thank you!

Could you please suggest some turkish drama names where Husband affair plot is there

Can anyone recommend a Turkish rom-com that isn't very well-known but is addictive? I want one with a funny female lead who isn't the typical 'silly and innocent' type

I’m actually BUZZING. This new trailer is AMAZING 😭

Elani out here making both her mother and father proud by being an absolute menace. The “ta da” Gezep imitation took me out 😭 And that headbutt to Şerif? Perfection. Welcome to the show, Alyena Koçari.

Them both searching together already feels so different now the truth is out. And ESME being the one who sent Şerif to jail for 20 years?! Her getting some revenge on Sıran by telling her she sent Şerif to jail is chef’s kiss perfect. We love to see it.

Oruç finding Elani was actually really sweet too. I’m glad he gets to be the one to bring her back because maybe that moves him off Adıl’s kill list and onto the “punish but keep alive” list 😭

But my absolute favourite part was Adıl saying they’d give Elani the family she deserves by getting married 😭😭😭 Esme is finally getting her man back and her daughter. After everything she’s suffered, she deserves this happiness so much.

And please, I am BEGGING the writers to give us a hide and seek scene with all three of them. I need healing after this trauma.

Not talking about shows that had a proper finale.
Talking about the ones that just stopped.

Medcezir ended so abruptly that half the storylines
were never resolved. Karadayı built up for seasons
and then wrapped everything in what felt like 20
minutes. Some shows didn't even get a finale episode,
just a normal episode and then nothing.

What makes it worse is that the casts and crews
often find out around the same time as the audience.
No real closure for anyone.

The one that still bothers me is when a show is
clearly building toward something big and you can
tell the writers had a vision, then the ratings
drop and that vision just disappears.

Which cancelled or rushed ending genuinely affected
you the most?

hey guys,suggest me your favourite turkish dramas please
i dont mind a sad ending

I started watching Turkish dramas pretty recently and didn’t expect to get this invested this quickly 😅 Some shows take a while to build up, but others pull you in from episode one. Curious which series hooked you guys the fastest? I’m open to anything - drama, romance, thriller, historical, whatever’s worth watching.

Am I the only one who feels like none of the shows airing are good, or they are just meh? I either have no interest in them or have dropped them. I dropped Uzak Şehir, Eşref Rüya, Yeralti, and Sahip Sizler. GVG, Halef, and TBD do not interest me at all. Then, when a new show does come out, it seems to get canceled in the next couple of weeks. I feel like the shows that are coming out all have the same type of plot/storylines. Then all of these mediocre ass shows get renewed for another season just because it has high or decent rating.

I just love turkish songs. Everytime i watch a series and they have a good song, i add it to my list. My recent favs are :

Tasacak bu deniz's album

Simge's Yanki

Saz mi Caz mi

Kusura Bakma

Dinle beni be

Kaçin kurasin

Belki

Sör (cem belevi)

Yekte (edit one)

Can someone please suggest me some good new songs from the same genre.

New to Turkish series. Anything you Recommend? Really liked delikanli.

I wanted to post to ask if people enjoy this kind of series.

Disclaimer i enjoyed it and still kinda do because when i entered the series i like the premise of looking for parental love especially when eleni and adil from the get go had really cute vibes, then i got more interested because of iso and fadime enemies to lovers so that's why i put up with violence of these series, but now the first episodes charm is gone it is just weapons and either kidnapping or hospital or shooting, seriously now that i think about it kidnapping is soo overdone in these series.

I don't even mind the secret taking long because obviously that was what they were going for.

I said this because clearly it will be a mafia war or something with this new character, fatih furtuna and adil going john wick on them.

What do you guys think ? Or is this the norm that scenarios get repetitive but since rating is doing well they can do whatever?

Note: i don't want the braindead facebook comment of "eee if you don't like it don't watch", spare me the obsessed fandom comments

Told you all , makers are hundutzsz makers at heart cannot just move on ,sultan more less to be didem only saving grace acting wise is deniz looks better with summeya than devrim . Hope so they somehow save the series of else it's going to another hundutzsz type shit. Every character is ruined now ,ceylan was inconsistent, sultan couldn't stand against her brother,bozo's narcissist traits were obvious and now ali worse than them all. Who comes up with this shit....
