As for me, the first half is same as Shanaya's. 😛 Watched Feriha, disappointed by that show, heard about Fatmagul and the synopsis on Wikipedia intrigued me. 😳 Since the second promo came out, I was charmed by Beren's beauty and Engin's sex appeal (which btw I wasn't allowed to think about because of fasts. :P)
I'll honestly say that I watched the first episode last year when Feriha was on air, but due to long duration I couldn't manage to finish this on YouTube and when the channel came up with third promo, I couldn't even recognize the guys, not even Kerim till he screamed "maine toh kuchh kiya bhi nahi, main hi kyun?" 😆 I was like "Oh so he's the guy who doesn't rape but takes up all the blame." :P
I didn't watch the show with much interest initially, though I found it much much better than Feriha. :D My interest began when that promo came out where Gullie wants to stab Kerim while they were in hotel. 😳 It was kind of a nail biting moment for me and I was too curious to see how their relationship would blossom... So you can say Episode 10 was a turning point for me. 😳
Also, I've watched the last episode on YouTube when I watched the first one cuz I was too disturbed by the rape scene and I just wanted to make sure that the girl gets justice at the end. I've not watched the entire episode, but whatever scenes I've watched, it's just indescribable in every sense. ⭐️
