Beni Böyle Sev

I'm an American girl that doesn't really enjoy watching movies nor shows. It's just not my favorite thing. However, I do watch them occasionally and when I do I'm really picky. This Turkish show appeared to me on my Netflix recommendations and it sparked some interest within me. I noticed that it is very appropriate and suitable for all sorts of people. This is what I truly love about it! It's like a breath of fresh air. For the next three years this is literally the only show I watched. No joke. I would take my time with episodes. Dissecting them slowly. During this time I was going through major depression and I distanced myself from everyone to find peace. I remember when I would put on this show I didn't feel alone anymore. I didn't feel sad. I felt like I was part of the story. I could relate to these various characters. I felt understood. I felt sort of intertwined with this show and joined the characters on the journey we call life. Ayshem (the main character) starts university in a big city and she unexpectedly falls in love with the humble Omar. Then follows the marriage and their life together. The other characters have interesting and emotional story lines as well. Overall, it's a beautiful story of close friendships, strong bonds, growth, humor, and of learning how to accept and love others for who they are.🍃
