Yemin (The Promise) (08/08/2019)
I know I said I would do Noble My Love next, but I’m pretty sure I watched it more than a year ago. So I’m probably going to have to do a quick rewatch for me to be able to write an informed review on it.
Instead I figured I’d review an episode of a Turkish drama I just started watching. I’m honestly not sure I’ll be able to finish it because so far there are only two episodes available with English subtitles on the official YouTube channel.
I don’t know why I do this to myself.
Anyway, let’s begin!
First Impression: This is going to be a tearjerker for sure and I’ve only seen the first episode.
Cast: Everybody is literally gorgeous!
Wardrobe: I’m not too excited about Reyhan’s style. I love Suna’s sort of preppy look and I love Emir’s bad boy vibe.
Plot: Ummm...who doesn’t love your Cinderella-like story. From the beginning you’re rooting for Reyhan, the main character. She’s a beautiful cinnamon roll that does not get what she deserves. I’m sure that I’m going to enjoy watching anyone who hurts her get their just desserts [pun not intended].
Favourite Character: Suna, Emir’s sister. She’s sarcastic and seems like the only member of the family who has her head on. I know, Hikmet means well, but which father believes that their “wayward” son is going to agree to an arranged marriage????
Least Favourite Character: Nigar. She works in the house and she’s stuck up and rude. I look forward to seeing character development though. I hope they don’t just make her Cavidan’s pawn.
My Ship: Reymir
First...Turkish drama I’ve watched where a major character uses a wheelchair.

Tl;dr we need to get Eccho rights to sub the entire show!
