soft launching my obm sinners choice mc

But the teaser got backlash, for the actress here is too young to portray a sultana, in a series where she has to act in the birth and sex scenes, so the plans changed, the writers decided to start the series from when kösem was kidnapped, and chose Anastasia tsilimpiou as the new young kösem

And yet she still expects him to consider her as his mother (also this is when his actual mother was about to get executed, why is talking about herself at all?) Some people argue that she is comforting him but telling him, “Didn’t I become your mother too?” at a moment when he is grieving the imminent execution of his true mother minimizes his loss rather than acknowledging it. Genuine comfort does not attempt to minimize a deep emotional bond, especially in such a traumatic moment. Even when she offers comfort, she can't help centering her role, turning his mourning into a validation of her past actions and self-image.

Something that made me less understanding of her as well, including her dramatic suicide scene at Atike's wedding, is that at some point the show starts trying to tell us that she was like Fahriye, miserable all her life because forced to marry men she didn't love and I was like am I supposed to just forget the fact that she was shown at the beginning to be very clearly happy and in love with Topal ? Yes learning that he was a traitor and a cheater broke her heart and can make her re-evaluate their time together, but it doesn't magically erases the years where she was happy with him so for me, it just falls a bit flat and I felt like I was being gaslighting into believing something that was not true

He deserved better
