Tartilmigan Suratlar (2020)

Too much filler

I watched this for Riyat Yusup, but it left me unsatisfied. The pacing is frustrating. I wanted to watch Nana get exposed and humiliated for cheating, but they keep dragging out the story with this endless list of side characters, leaving out all the good parts for season 2.

The plot is all over the place. So many names are just thrown at me randomly and too early in the story, without any introduction on how they relate to the leads. Whenever a side character is introduced, the focus suddenly shifts ENTIRELY to that character, and starts expanding on their family, then their family's friends. They decide to act out entire (useless) scenes for us to see when they could've easily described the situation in a few sentences. It's sooooo extra. Like, who wants to watch a bunch of old men gossip about their wives for almost an entire episode? Or old men educating you for 4 minutes straight on how bribery is not right (⁠ノ⁠｀⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻ The ending has no closure. It ends abruptly in the middle of a filler scene, which connects gaplessly with season 2 episode 1.

I guess the only good thing about this is the acting. Nana and her mother are so bitchy and spoiled that it makes me want to slap them. The ML also has really good acting for a full-time singer.
