Med Cezir | A very sweet and dramatic series

Well, I’ve mentioned before that I’m a huge fan of Turkish TV series. I love the culture and the way each story handles drama, innocent romance, and traditions—which are pretty interesting. As soon as I finish one series, I start another. Although not all of them are good—I’ve seen some that were really boring or just full of clichés—and even though this one is no exception, I really liked it… I finished Med Cezir this week, and I felt a void inside when it ended since it was my favorite show at the moment. I binge-watched this series a lot—I watched it in the morning, at noon, and at night. I finished it super fast, and I regret it because I miss the show so much.

After watching Med Cezir, I found out that this series is basically an adaptation of a U.S. series called The OC. I’ve never actually seen it, but the comments I read online say that the Turkish version is better, and I can imagine the differences between the two series since they come from completely different cultures. Med Cezir tells the love story of Yaman and Mira, two young people from completely different worlds who end up falling deeply and intensely in love. Yaman’s life changes when he’s practically adopted by a wealthy family that welcomes him and supports him unconditionally. The story is full of drama, suspense, and action, although it sometimes falls into too many clichés and plotlines that can seem absurd at times.

I liked it because it became my “comfort zone.” You really grow attached to the characters and always want to see more. When I watched this series, I felt “at home”—it’s a very strange feeling I’ve come to experience with some shows where I get so hooked that I can feel that sense of family or friendship through a simple screen. That’s exactly how I felt with Med Cezir.

This series is on HBO and has three seasons; however, I recommend watching it somewhere else so you don’t go through the same hell I did. I realized that as the episodes played, the characters would make comments or references to things that had happened but that I hadn’t seen. That made me feel pretty uncomfortable a lot of the time, but for some reason I never really questioned it— I just accepted it and kept watching—until I decided to look for the series elsewhere because I’d already missed too many scenes. That’s when I realized that the HBO version is SUPER edited down; it seems like every episode you watch on HBO is a mega-summary of each one. Unfortunately, I realized this too late, and I barely managed to watch half of the second season and the entire third season uncut.

Soy fans también de series turcas,de hecho son las únicas que veo ,ya me he adaptado tanto a ellas que no veo de otras nacionalidades.
