First Impression: Saw the trailer a while back and was like nopety nope!!! but came across a fragmanı recently and thought I’d give it a chance and spent a good two hours watching all the fragmanı that had been released.

I’m certainly intrigued. It’s not a new story line. Nothing edgy or particularly original about it, but I’m somewhat invested. 

Cast: The acting is incredible! Sila (Seher) took a few pages from Ozge’s (Reyhan from Yemin) book...lool...they give this look and purse their lips that I find strange, but it’s apparently a thing *shrugs in not sure* 

But I got serious respect for Sila after episode 30...I believed every look and tear that she produced. Like serious props to her.

Halil (Yaman) has the eyebrow furrows and forehead wrinkling down to a science. And the narrowed eyes!!! Tolga (Ziya) is believable too. Berat (Yusuf) is doing an excellent job as well. I’m always so amazed by child actors. 

Basically, they did an excellent job of casting.

Wardrobe: Yaman’s suits are excellent! I love that they keep him in dark colours. It works!

I love Seher’s style. Wish I could adopt it! It’s so cute! But it’s way too hot where I live to survive in those long skirts.

Yusuf is always adorable. I love his room too. 

Plot: Basically Seher’s sister marries into a family that their dad doesn’t approve of and her father cuts off all contact with her. On her dying bed, she asks Seher to promise to take care of her son Yusuf (named after his grandfather) who will be left parentless at the mansion. 

The problem is that Seher has to get past Yaman, Yusuf’s angry, brooding and heartless (is he really though?) uncle to get to the little boy who is her sister’s, and now her, legacy (wassup title reference!!!).

Favourite Character: Father Arif...he’s adorable...plus I think he’s the president of the Yamher shippers.

Least Favourite Character: Begüm...it’s so difficult to be sympathetic towards her. She’s so manipulative and ughh...it’s not pretty on you darling (I mean that figuratively of course...cuz she’s gorgeous).

My Ship: Kirali? I’m not great at ship names, okay...Even though I haven’t seen much of their story in the fragmanı it’s abundantly clear that the writers want them together...it’s only a matter of time and I think they complement each other well. It’s also been really sweet how he’s protected her.

First…mafia-style (kinda’) Turkish drama

Random Fun Fact: If you were trying to figure out why the lead actress looked so familiar (like I was), then you should know that Sila Turkoglu plays Suna (Emir’s little sister) in Yemin.

WARNINGS: Things to be aware of: dramatic background music, lots of eye narrowing and lip pursing...lol but on a serious note...violence (quite a lot of it), guns (and gun wounds #thosetwonormallygotogether), hostage/kidnapping situations, huge trigger warning for people with claustrophobia.

Bonus Commentary: *minor spoiler alert* I’ve been confuzzled by some of the people in the comments. Yes, as the viewer, we get to see Yaman’s backstory and understand a little about why he is the way he is, and so it’s pretty easy to root for a happy ending for him. But...like a huge BUTTT...explain to me why some of these people are expecting Seher to be in love with him and are upset when she is not showing any signs of affection towards him????? 

In most of her interactions with him, he’s highkey abusive. On top of that, they have nothing in common other than their love for Yusuf. And how Yaman expresses what he feels for Yusuf is difficult to interpret as love (and not control) for people who don’t know his past (read: Seher!!!). She does not have the advantage of looking at him through eyes of sympathy and had we not known his back story, we’d be right where she is in a low-key disgust and high-key mere toleration for him. 

Of course some people would still dig him and ship them though, because he’s good-looking and rich. I guess that’s the Christian Grey/Massimo effect (complex?) for you. 

Tl;dr This show is essentially Yemin’s little brother who’s lost his way and started a life of crime. Same angst with a sprinkle more violence thrown in.
