I have never seen a Turkish TV series before and I turned on from series 8 by accident one night and started from there. I did miss out a few but plan to buy the whole DVD set later to watch again. As an Asian and living in the Netherlands, the Dutch sub-titles helped me to understand the culture of the Turkish people. The characters of the actors and actresses are very interesting and everyone acted so well, including the little children. Even the bad guys have those ugly look which made them looked great in their acting parts. The most handsome man, Seymen and his attractive wife, Bahar added lots of spices to the main theme. However, one has to admire the character of Dicle as well -- she acted so well and I like her good and smart character. Then there are also the gossipers in the characters and they all added some sugar and spice in the scene. I would give a very good rating for this TV series as 8.9 out of 10. I hope to see more of the Turkish movie on TV as well. A pity that I have to stay many nights watching Asmali Konak and then have to adjust my sleeping hours from early morning till noon -- making my sleep shorter as I have to work. Luckily I am self-employed otherwise it would be impossible to for me to discover this entertaining Turkish TV series. Congratulations to the whole team for the making such a successful and most entertaining movie. I have come to learn that Turkey is a beautiful country and that the people are different from the Turkish culture. To me, they are very beautiful people and so different from those other Muslim countries. Turkey is a modern Muslim country with lots of beauty around it. Someday I hope to visit Turkey for a holiday and hope to stay at the Hayat Hotel. It will surely bring lots of happy memory of the TV series Asmali Konak!
