    Dont follow negative comments

    Im sorry but im dissapointed after reading Slow Over Hyped Boring comment. I encourage people to continue watching this series. It has the best actors (Necip) and actress on the screen. I mean why would Cagatay and Demet act in a series if the storyline was boring.? And the Director himself is someone to look out for with so many movies worth watching. Trust me, this series is and will be truly captivating. Another Mafia story that will keep you glued.

    The start could hv be dragging as its telling the story itself. But the plot definitely gets more interesting. These Mafia stories have become an inthing these days. Excitement with romance.

    Demet,talent,carisma✨

    It is a pleasure to follow Demet Özdemir's projects. Each of her characters is different, never the same, this time in the role of a singer, a cheerful woman with a child's soul who tries to achieve her ideals. The character is perfect for Demet, they are similar, she is a person with a special soul beauty. Demet's acting is remarkable, she easily switches from comedy to drama, now we smile at her lines, then, in a few minutes we feel her feelings, fear, despair, pain.. Nisan wakes up between two evils, a policewoman obsessed with an unrequited love, who uses it to take revenge and the mafia world, where she meets Esref, who is looking for his lost love from childhood. We witness an impressive love story, reminiscent of the Hollywood atmosphere of the 60s, the cast, direction, script, music, decor, filming, are of quality. The series is worth watching, a thriller, about human relationships, love, loyalty, betrayal,

    "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 cinematography in "Esref Ruya" is breathtaking. Each frame is meticulously crafted, transporting viewers into a visually stunning realm that enhances the narrative. The use of colors and lighting creates an ethereal atmosphere, making the dream sequences truly enchanting. The soundtrack complements the visuals perfectly, evoking a range of emotions that resonate long after the credits roll.

    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. This thought-provoking narrative, combined with stellar performances and stunning visuals, makes for a compelling watch.
