i feel the hindi show, "kya kasoor hai amla ka?" was loosely based on this turkish show too as i watched a couple of episodes but the execution of the show didnr appeal to me ...Originally posted by: The.Lannister
Yes I had watched this when it first aired on TV. I felt they didnt do proper justice to the whole rape story. They just brushed it under all is well that ends well. But the show is watchable for the actors alone. The leads had great chemistry. The title track is v good too.
Now thinking about it reminds me of a Turkish show Fatmagul. The stories arent similar except the heroine getting raped (here the hero doesnt rape her but watches his friends do it & doesnt stop them. The others flee & the villagers pressurize the hero to marry the girl). Adapted from a novel they had made some major changes to the novel while adapting it for TV, biggest being the hero did not rape her. It was a massive hit in Turkey & even in India when it aired on Zindagi channel where I watched it first before watching the original. They handled the rape trauma/ story quite well + all the actors were excellent
