Heartbreaking in the positive and negative way

I just finished to watch Kara Sevda. What an emptiness left...

It's my third Turkish TV show after Kurt Seyit ve Sura and Calikusu. Kara Sevda production was mostly excellent.

Although the script was not a "groundbreaking" one, the acting was brilliant. I felt very connected to the characters: their personalities, their emotions, their lives.. Without mentioning the captivating chemistry between Kemal and Nihan, the innocent and pure love that everyone would like to feel once in his life; the acting of Leyla and Emir was impressive. They were incredibly talented. I liked the passion of Zeynep towards Emir. I liked the irrational way on how the love was expressed. We could not expect that she was going to repeat the same mistakes again and again despite knowing that she was deeply wrong. The soundtrack of Toygar Isikli was stunning and heartbreaking as well.

However, I agree with many of the reviews, the ending, was in my opinion very very pointless. I do not object to unhappy endings. Not at all. I am used to watch Indian movies and I have found most of the beautiful stories with broken-hearted endings.

But here, it's different. At a certain point (mid-season 2), it was difficult to continue to watch the show. I, almost, sped up each episode because it was to heavy. It was always the same concept: the war trickeries between Emir and Kemal- the short releasing love time for peace between Kemal and Nihan - "et rebelote". By trying to be objective, I cannot understand the "logic" of such an ending. Does such a final part needs 76 episodes with similar episodes? Honestly, it was a bit boring to keep watching but on the other hand, I wanted to know what will be the end. The way it ended was clearly, unexpected. After all of this drama, this time spent... it was so disappointing. Indeed, it ripped out my heart from my chest.

I really kept believing that the ending of Emir and Asu would be made by their mother or Zeynep regarding the evidence that she had against Emir.

Nihan lost her father and her brother because of Emir. What's the point to lost Kemal at the end? Does a human could overcome those kind of hardships?

I didn't understand why Leyla was set aside and didn't appear after the Asu's attempt to kill Nihan? I found it quite botched. As well as the post-Kemal. Just 5 minutes of showing how Nihan survived afterwards.

However the idea of the letter to conclude the show was very well thought.

I don't think that it will possible to have a season 3 but it would be amazing to see a last episode showing that Kemal was, in the end, in coma.
