Two Zeynep stories. . “The house you live in is your destiny,” “Your home is your destiny,” and “The House of Doom.” As soon as they did not interpret the title of one of the chapters, from the next novel by the popular, Turkish writer Gulseren Budaijoglu. She is also a doctor and still practices psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Over the years, she has accumulated in her notebooks many different stories about the fate of human... bitter, and sometimes absurd. And at some point, she wanted to share these stories with the world... and she started writing. These novels were a great success with readers.
But now they are also being filmed. . .
The script “Do?du?un Ev Kaderindir” was based on the story of a girl named Zeynep (Demet Ozdemir). . .
It is she who comes to the psychotherapist’s office and talks about how, at a young age, she is given for upbringing in a rich house by her own parents, who are very poor: her father is a drone, a drunkard and a fighter; a mother who is forced to work from morning to evening to somehow feed her family and pay for renting dilapidated housing. And there are elders in the family: a sister and a sick brother.
Therefore, when the question arose to give the youngest to the upbringing of a childless couple, no one had any doubts about what to do differently.
As a result, Zeynep receives an excellent education and upbringing and makes plans for the future. She has a fiancé from high society and two mothers: native and not native. Both mothers want the best, but each in its own way. What is left to Zeynep not to offend one and please the other? Which she does... Brilliantly completes his studies at the university and is going to submit a resume to a prestigious law firm, but unexpectedly she marries at the instigation of a matchmaker and her own mother for a man who not only does not like but even does not know... It is from this moment that the exciting story of a girl named Zeynep and the telenovela “Doomsday House” begins. . .
This is a psychological drama... Throughout history, the personality of a girl is constantly divided due to the influence of two mothers on her and she commits contradictory acts, then pleasing one, then the other, completely without thinking about herself. From this she is in constant doubts and contradictions, which subsequently lead her to a psychotherapist.
In the telenovela there are several storylines:
- the main of them is, of course, the relationship that Zeynep has with two men: the first husband of Mehdi (Ibrahim Celikkol) and the second - her boss in a prestigious law firm - Barysh (Engin Ozturk). . .
Their confrontation and struggle for the love and attention of the girl. . .
- secondary storylines are very different fates of her two mothers - Sakine and Nermin, and the stories of close people around Zeynep: best friend Emine and her mother Sultan, sisters Mehdi and his former mistress Benal and childhood friend Nuh and finally all the household members of the decent Barysh family. . .
As the story of Zeynep progresses, as a snowball overflows with various events and incidents, as it happens in Turkish TV series and from that it is fascinating and interesting to watch. . .
Demet Ozdemir used to be known to a wide audience as a comedy actress and played only in romcoms. In this series, she opened as a beautiful dramatic artist. And she did it all... Her Zeynep is a throwing nature, very sincere in her aspirations and involved in the lives of others. . .
Mehdi performed by the talented Ibrahim Celikkol turned out to be vulnerable and kind inside, and passionate and unbridled macho outside. Going on about his desires, he makes many mistakes and comes to a logical conclusion. . .
Opposite Barysh performed by Engin Ozturk is a pragmatic person and thinks everything forward, but at heart it is a child with a wounded childhood, and therefore he grew up very attentive and compassionate towards his relatives and friends.
The disadvantage in this series I consider not very correct alignment of forces of characters in the script. Since initially Ibrahim Celikkol and his character Mehdi were announced for the main, male role in the project, a lot of time was devoted to the relationship between Mehdi and Zeynep and the viewer decided that all further events would develop around this couple, so they were so penetrating. . .
But about the middle of the project, the screenwriters were reminded that according to the plot of the novel Gulseren Buijioglu - Mehdi - a negative character, and those REZKO began to remake HIM from a kind, vulnerable and hot guy in their actions from the district to a real abuser, and even introduced a new positive character - Barysh. . .
This very alarmed the viewer and eventually divided into two camps ... passions were heated up. But in the end, the story of Mehdi somehow quickly crumpled up and from despair was completed, and the history of Zeynep and Barysh left very little time ... There is a temporary imbalance in the story. It seems that the series told the story of Zeynep and Mehdi, and in the end it was the story of Zeynep and Barysh. . .
All of this happens in turdisi because the script is written on the knee and depends on weekly ratings and the constant change of script commands. And as a rule, such a policy in writing the script leads to some kind of small chaos in the history of the series and especially in the formation of the images of the main characters. But in this project it is still not so critical and not the main thing!!
But if the whole thing, I recommend this series to watch. No matter what, you will get very different emotions from this very viewing. Sometimes you will be happy, sometimes nervous, sometimes outraged, and sometimes even cry. Time will not be wasted!!
