Sinem and Halit sizzle in this romantic summer comedy about undercover cops.
4 August 2022
This is a short run summer 2022 romantic comedy series that ended at just 8 episodes. The ending of this series is unfortunate as the two romantic leads have great chemistry and were really starting to sizzle in their roles playing an undercover couple. This is the first time I have seen either Sinem Unsal or Halit Ozgur Sali, but they are wonderful together...very well suited and I particularly like how in episode 6 Halit started to develop not just jealousy but real protective habits toward Sinem's character Naz and all to a wonderful song by Batuhan Kordel "Askin en Guzel Hali", it was gorgeous.

Speaking of music, the soundtrack to this series was great! Both Batuhan Korfel's song and Mavi Gri's "Dunyanin en Guzel kizi" are now spinning on my summer playlist.

The series is about Naz, who graduates top of her police academy class. She is immediately recruited into an undercover assignment with a seasoned detective and lone wolf Pamir. Together they must play a married couple Yaz and Levant, recently moved home from London in order to infiltrate the mobster Tarik's tightly run family organization. Initially, Pamir is not happy about working with a rookie...but Naz slowly works her way under his skin. Especially, with the rest of her warm loving family...starting with her strong take no prisoners retired nurse mom and her quirky bit of a rascal uncle. Being raised in an orphanage has definitely had an effect on Pamir...but Naz's positivity and love is always there shining a beautiful light on him.

The series started a little slowly, but I for one am sad to see it end just as it was really hitting it's stride. The supporting cast was wonderful, the sets and storyline were great and I loved the costuming!

I highly recommend this series it is a short (8 episode) Turkish Romantic Comedy Series full of color and light intrigue. The ending of each episode keeps you coming back for more. Sinem is truely lovely and has wonderful chemistry with Halit...they are resin enough to watch the series which comes to a reasonably satisfying conclusion at the end of episode 8.
