'The course of true love never did run smooth' - Review dedicated to Serkan Bolat!

Image
  Finally geared myself and finished episode 14! Only one person took all my focus - Serkan Bolat!!!  As I told earlier, the whole story is narrated from his pov. Though the story did start from Eda's narration and Serkan enters the scene a little later. Right from the time Serkan comes in, we start looking at the progression of the story through his eyes. The way he is stumped by the wild spirit of Eda, and the way he falls for her and his efforts to keep away and his failure and his outright surrender - everything we do it with him. In spite of Eda calling him Robot Bolat, Serkan actually wears his heart in his sleeve indeed. If he is angry, the whole world knows about it. If he hates some one, he tells them directly. So when he fell in love, he was shocked because he was not used it. Selin was more of a convenience and a habit. He did not fall in love with her. With Eda he gloriously fell  deep in love. And Serkan being serkan couldn't hide it for long. Given a choice, if Ed

No Girl's Dream Should be a Man!

 A bit late review for Episode 13 As I saw the live telecast, I didn't have the heart to see it with subs. Waited for episode 14! now need to catch up with it before next Wednesday! Need to catch up, otherwise, Eda might leave off to Italy!  Jokes apart, it was a confusing episode! Celine being abandoned at the altar sounds sooo far off, that I didn't realize it was just one episode old! these Turkish shows are soooo long it is like a few episodes before.  This episode was confusing! I understand Serkan was being a good friend to Celine. Even Eda was being understanding. But his hot and cold attitude was confusing. After telling all caring dialogues, out of the blue he tells Celine, Eda calms me (it sounded out of context), and then when Eda comes in, he says, I wish I could hug you or something like that. till then Serkan was not even missing Eda, so it looked out of place.  Loved this dialogue of Ayfer - No Girl's dream should be a Man! Wish we could have such dialogues i

Sen Cal Kapimi Episode 12: A Review

  Serkan and Eda are finally together albeit in secret. There are so many thoughts swirling in my head but the most significant one is that I do not want to dissect the episode. I just want to breathe the fresh air and smell the flowers like Eda, and enjoy the sensory experiences of the story of Sen Cal Kapimi. So these are just some random thoughts about Sen Cal Kapimi.  1. Eda's decision to go to Italy  I understand Eda's dream- to study in Italy. She loves architecture, the historical significance of the city, and had always dreamed of going there to complete her degree. The dream became even more precious when it was denied to her because of Serkan. She does consider Turkey for the degree but her heart says go to Italy. As the audience, we want to see the hero and heroine together, but, I like that the woman is not sacrificing her dreams and trying to "make practical choices." Many among us have done that...for family, for a husband, for a child. So I have come to

Sen Cal Kapimi: Romantic Robot & his Love!

  This episode I would like to dedicate to Serkan Bolat and his love! A guy who was nicknamed as Robot, when he lets go, he does it completely! Not many men have the guts to do it. Look at Engin! After 10 years of love, he still is unable to confess! But our hero, for all his logical thinking, once he realized he might lose his love, he breaks open! And how!! He blurts out first, but once the gates are broken down, he has no hesitation to repeat it! So this week's episode is celebrating Serkans's love!  The romance was felt throughout the episode! When we see the lovers, we are blushing and averting our eyes, like Erdem did in his imagination! They were in their own  world. The close way they stand, Serkan nuzzling Eda, and using every opportunity to kiss her, unable to focus on his work, wanting to always see her! Ah Serkan ah!! what a long way he has come!!! Falling in love, the phrase suits him the best! He has the longest and deepest fall!  I always felt this poem of Elizab
