Usher - Don't Look Down (FL STUDIO REMAKE 90 FLP) They are as far apart as exploitation films and Hollywood films in the US. This is not like the industry in other countries where They are not two different formats, but two different industries. Don't expect the quality of Turkish cinema to find its way here. He refuses and she stands there crying for 10 minutes, soaking wet, dripping hair/clothes, repeating "your grandson is dying" over and over while the violins are wailing full-blast. In episode one there is a dramatic walk in the rain where a woman walks from her car to her father-in-law's mansion for 10 minutes (did I say rain?) without an umbrella so that she can ask her father-in-law to pay for her son's cancer treatment.
I watched one episode and realized it was a soap. Turkish people consider soaps to be Latin American shows that are mostly about love (the word for soap in Turkish is "pink series") that go on for years and years. The Turkish Wikipedia article on "soap operas" is two sentences long. The reason why I say "lost in translation" is that the Turkish definition of soap is very restrictive. It is not "soap-y" - it is a real soap opera with soap level acting, melodrama, soundtrack, production value and storyline. There is a certain element of lost-in-translation here.

1001 NIGHTS was also full of important social messages, they raised the awareness for leukemia and importance of donating blood to save lives,encouraged people to stop domestic violence, showed some of the realities of the country poverty, land mafia, politics of power and that's why in my opinion a lot of people found 1001 NIGHTS so near and dear to their hearts.I also hope they had the DVD and the soundtrack of the series, because KIRAC has done a great job,the opening theme kind of stuck in my mind.

After watching 90 episodes of this powerful drama, when it finally finished I felt like I lost my best buddy, I will definitely miss 1001 NIGHTS, I hope one day the same cast does another TV series. Besides the great characterization and interesting storyline, you see the best of Istanbul in 1001 NIGHTS, beautiful Bosphorus with its boats and historic villas, seagulls and KizKulesi(Maiden Tower),that was quite refreshing for those of us who always watches either NYC or LA on screen, 1001 NIGHTS definitely brought the warmth of Istanbul to our homes. My other favorite character is Mihriban, it was so nice hearing Azerbaijani Turkish, really liked her cute accent, and Halit Ergenc as ONUR really shines on the screen, I guess he is the perfect mixture of infamous jealousy and over-protectiveness of Turkish men and impossible romantic who never takes 'no' for answer. Besides Berguzar Korel's brilliant performance as Sehrazat, I also liked Ceyda Duvenci and Tardu Flordun in the main cast, Tardu is definitely a rare gem, you love him in one episode and totally hate him the next, only a good actor could pull emotions so high, the elderly couple Evliyaogulları must be dream grandparents, they fit each other like gloves as Burhan Bey and Nadide Hanım,watching them really warmed up my heart.
How wrong I could be? When finally I watched the first episode 3 years later, I was instantly hooked,that was not soap opera at all, it was more of a drama, the story starts with a moral dilemma and turns into a modern fairy tale,but it is not your average mushy love story, there are many little stories around the main plot, all the characters are very realistic,you instantly root for Sehrazat, a single mum who does everything to support her little boy who is terminally ill and finally when she finds a donor, here comes the big decision.I won't give away anything, you just have to watch it :) The storyline was very interesting, clean decent acting,I really liked the Sehrazat character, she stands up against all the difficulty of life alone, very principled, very tough lady, I would say it was a treat to see such a independent and proud character.

I have to admit that I was kind of prejudiced about this TV series as I don't like soap operas in general and that is why I haven't watched it when everybody was going crazy about 1001 NIGHTS in Turkey.
