Every year Turkish TV shows are winning the hearts of more and more viewers around the world. One of the longest-running domestic telenovelas, widely known far beyond the borders of Turkey, is the series "The Magnificent Century", which stretched for as many as 4 seasons. The first episodes of the historical drama were released in January 2011, and the final 139th issue was dated June 11, 2014. The plot of the series is set during the reign of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Suleiman the Magnificent. The main theme of the telenovela is the love relationship between the ruler and the captured Ukrainian concubine Alexandra. The storyline is full of palace intrigues intertwined with real historical events. Despite the fact that almost 5 years have passed since the end of the telenovela, it has been successfully rotated on the air of dozens of TV channels in the CIS and Europe.
Other hits from Turkish production
Turkish TV series have attracted widespread attention from viewers abroad, largely thanks to the telenovela "Black Love", which first aired in October 2015. The final episode of the second season of the series was released in the summer of 2018. Around the same time, the action-packed drama began to appear on the air of the CIS countries in a Russian-language dub under the title "Endless Love". The plot of the series tells about the love relationship between Kemal and Nihan - a man and a woman from different walks of life, whose happiness is hindered by people from their inner circle. The series has become so popular outside Turkey that Russia even plans to shoot an adaptation of the telenovela with Russian-speaking actors, whose composition has already been approved, by 2023.
Among Turkish action films, the action series Inside, which first appeared on TV in September 2016, is widely known abroad. The series ran into one season and ended in episode 39. The storyline of the action movie is tied to the relationship between two graduates of the police academy - Sarpa and Mete. One of the main characters grew up surrounded by a loving family, and the other - on the streets with an unfavorable criminal environment. In the course of the plot, the heroes constantly conflict with each other, but in dangerous situations they find a common language. The fact that Sarp and Mepe are siblings separated after birth adds some poignancy to the plot.
One of the freshest Turkish TV series that have become hits outside the country of origin is the melodrama "Windy", which first aired in March 2019 and has not yet ended. In the Russian version, episodes of the telenovela are broadcast on popular video streaming platforms and are also available for torrent download. As of December 2020, Turkish and foreign viewers have already seen 50 episodes. The plot revolves around a man named Miran, who wants to take cruel revenge on one family, guilty of the death of his relatives. However, in the camp of a blood enemy, the main character meets the beautiful Reyan, with whom he falls in love, torn apart by the desire to commit retribution and be happy in his personal life.
Among Turkish series in the genre of romantic comedy, the telenovela "Love for Rent" is highly popular with foreign viewers. The first episodes aired in June 2015, and the end of the storyline was shown in Episode 69 on January 20, 2017. The telenovela scenario revolves around the successful businessman Omer, whom his relatives want to marry for convenience. However, the young man, wanting to slip away from an unwanted marriage, uses an unfamiliar waitress Defne to introduce her to the matchmakers as his beloved. As a result, Omer's adventure gives rise to the development of a real love relationship with Defne with a happy ending.
Another Turkish hit of 2015 that has become popular abroad is the romantic comedy "The Smell of Strawberry". The plot of the telenovela tells the story of a girl named Asla who, in an effort to become a successful pastry chef, moves from her hometown to Bodrum. On the plane, the main character, by chance, meets the handsome Burak. With him, she initially develops hostile relationships, which, with the development of the plot, develop into romantic ones.
Millions of viewers around the world at one time became fans of Turkish TV series thanks to the romantic story "Waiting for the Sun". The first episode of the series appeared on TV screens in early July 2013, and the storyline spanned 54 episodes. The main character of the series is the girl Zeynep, who, having moved with her family from the province to Istanbul, meets the boyfriend Kerem at the college. With him, she starts a romantic relationship full of love experiences and unexpected turns. Despite the fact that more than 7 years have passed since the premiere of the series, it remains popular with foreign audiences due to the wide age coverage of the audience. Choosing a product of a suitable genre among the listed series, you will certainly be able to enjoy dozens of evenings in an atmosphere of fascinating stories.
