do you feel the serkan amnesia being overly stretched? the episode felt so random....
Not really, if Iām being honest? Iām fairly new to Turkish shows, so please take anything I say with a grain of salt because I am positive I know nothing about how these are run and there are people with a much stronger understanding of the structure of these shows in the tags.Ā
ThatĀ being said, I donāt think itās being prolonged. Serkan went through a traumatic incident, as a result, heās suffering short term memory loss. Iām not a doctor, but I feel like itās one of those things that you canāt just put a time limit on and I feel like the show has done a really good job of giving Serkan the three months to heal and recover physically, but now has to come face to face with existing around people that know a chunk of memories that are hisĀ but he has no access to. Imagine how frustrating that must be for the control freak Robot Bolat that existed before Eda, pair that with his pull and interest in her, itās probably enough to leave him mentally in a battle of trying to remember, but trying to stay true to the controlling personality he remembers.Ā
The way I see it, there is that part of him reaching for that lost year of memories, but also the part of him that went through something life-changing and is trying to cling to what he knows. Which, from the looks of it, wonāt be lasting very long, especiallyĀ if that new trailer is anything to go off of. Iām also just a sucker for angst before happiness, which is partially also why Iām super enjoying it. Also, I really just love seeing Selin dig herself this giant grave and really want to see what she does when shit hits the fan.Ā
As for the episode, I donāt think it was random, but it definitely felt like a filler episode. Even then, I didnāt hate it? I felt like a lot of groundwork for what could happen in the next episode(s) was laid out? Like Deniz was already in thin ice, with pushing for Eda to get over Serkan like two days into him being back with amnesia, then with the subtle hints of his crush on her, but we finally got a good standing on his motives in this episode. He likes Eda and wants to be with her, so he teams up with Selin. Cerenās difficult home life was alluded to (if Iām remembering correctly) in the earlier episodes, so now weāre seeing her spiraling. Also, maybe where Iām watching doesnāt have the best subtitles, or maybe Iām just reading into it too much, but someone (maybe Serkan? or legit someone in the tags idr) mentioned something about it feeling like Deniz was running away from something in terms of being away from home. Idek what anyone's ages on the show are, but if Ceren started taking her meds around the age of 20, maybe there is a connection there??? Also, they are taking the time to give them scenes where Eda and Serkan can have those moments together, to possibly push for him to have these build up to something finally clicking.
