Whem do you think Erkan actually started falling for Dicle? Not when he realized it, but when it first started happening without him even being aware of it?
And when do you think he knew he loved her,, even if he wasnβt ready to admit it out loud yet?
By the time of that conversation with Selin in episode 14, i donβt think he was confused anymore. He didnβt look like a man who had just discovered he was in love. He just needed a push to stop running from it and actually do something about it.
omg this is such a loaded question and I could write 20 pages on this but i shall try to keep it relatively short AHH
a lot of people say that it was love at first sight for erkan based on what he said in his proposal in ep 15. I feel like, to me at least, she really started to pull at his heartstrings in episode 2. the scene that really sticks out to me is when she's running through the water and he's just so happy watching her just be. i felt like i saw a shift in him occur there.
prior to that I think there was so much chaos and imminent danger on erkan's end that his first priority was just making sure she was safe and alive. i do definitely feel like dicle fell in love with erkan that first day (or night, to be technical).
"when do you think he knew he loved her" oh this is SO hard to answer too because i've been thinking about it myself and i'm still trying to decide on that.
I feel like he was already in love with her by episode 5. where he's dealing with the aftermath of dicle saying she'll marry kadir, leaning on him more, calling him instead of erkan, etc. that itself lit a fire in him which clearly showed at the last scene of the episode where he basically almost confesses. obviously we know why he didn't at that point (literally too much going on, engagement to burcin, etc.) but he was also in MAJOR denial. also it could be argued that he's never truly been in love before and it was confusing to him, as well. but i digress.
i think he finally accepted that he was in love with dicle by episode 8 (the episode where he withdraws the petition for divorce and chases dicle around town).
I'd be down to do an episode-by-episode rewatch/breakdown if people would be interested! Then I can go more in-depth on my thoughts on their scenes and development.
i feel like I'm still buzzing AND recovering from the finale so I don't really have coherent thoughts yet ππ i still get nauseous everytime i think about the final scene like they are SICK for that
