Esref Rüya

I liked the beginning of "Esref Ruya". There are quite a few storylines that could develop.

I really like the way the narrator works.

He is the one who knows everything about Eshref, his thoughts, motives, knows about events that he was not even a direct witness to. This gives a lot of freedom in the storytelling because it allows us to learn things that would otherwise remain hidden.

Excellent cinematography!

Characters like Esref have some inexplicable appeal-not just because they look strong, but because they exude control, mystery, and self-assurance.

And Cagatay Ulusoy is perfect for this role of a mysterious, domineering man who seems to hold the fate of others in his hands, but cannot control his own.

I hope it continues in the same style. Let's listen to the person telling the story because it adds an emotional layer to the story.

He can make observations and comments that make us look at things from a different perspective.

Two top actors of Turkish dizi - Cagtoy ulusoy and Demit odzemir- have been cast to make a Dream come true.

I somehow feel that' the present day story writers are running out of ideas.

This is year 2025 - still you are Weaving Old fashioned mafia story - start is very slow and un interesting - but from the middle half - Cagtoy shows his charisma n the story starts spinning - Demit looks tired - probably she will pickup steam along with Cagtoy to make it interesting.

Child stars are doing well.

I hope some modern elements of mafia operations with tech. Combined will set pace from next episode.

Violence can be shown in a subtle manner as adolescent children ( 14- 17 yrs old) also watch - as fans of Cagtoy.

Almost all series on streaming platforms are violent and explicit. Subdued content with a good pace will be appreciated 👍

"Esref Ruya" is an absolute masterpiece that showcases the incredible talent of Cagatay Ulusoy and the brilliance of Turkish storytelling. From the very first episode, I was drawn into a mesmerizing world that beautifully intertwines dreams and reality, making for an unforgettable viewing experience.

Cagatay Ulusoy delivers a phenomenal performance as the lead character, capturing the essence of his role with depth and authenticity. His portrayal of a young man navigating the complexities of life, love, and the very nature of dreams is both relatable and inspiring. The way he embodies the struggles and triumphs of his character is nothing short of mesmerizing.

The writing is another standout aspect of the series. The plot is rich with twists and turns, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The themes of hope, love, and self-discovery are woven seamlessly throughout the storyline, making it not just a series, but a profound exploration of the human experience. The character development is exceptional, with each supporting character adding depth and dimension to the story.

What sets "Esref Ruya" apart is its ability to blend fantasy with reality, inviting viewers to reflect on their own dreams and aspirations. It challenges us to ponder the meaning of our desires and the paths we choose in life.

The first episode of this new series delivers an outstanding introduction to its world and characters.

The seamless blend of visuals, music, and acting creates a memorable start to the series, leaving viewers eager for more. The premiere has set high expectations for the rest of the season!

For a first episode, it was really good.

It started off a bit slow, but that's expected for an opening - introducing the characters and setting up the story. Then, the pace picked up, and the plot became truly captivating.

The beginning sequences & the production quality as a whole is very similar to the high quality production in some of the best television series.

"Esref looked at a woman for the first time in many years, he felt a warmth in his stomach like he felt when he first saw his Ruya, he looked at the girl's neck, there was no sign, it wasn't her... so feeling this way created a deep regret in him"

"Even when he was taking his last breath, he was still very handsome."

In 2001, Esref sees his dream... I loved the choice of child actors. I continue to watch with curiosity and interest.
