#nedcem

[tgrlmls]

I promised myself never to watch another show from Sırma Yanık after “fazilet hanım ve kızları” (mrs fazilet and her daughters-I guess?) but I fell in love with Nedim’s story and Berker’s acting. And with Cemre and Nedim’s love story unfortunately. I am a big YağHaz fan and moreso Yağız Egemen fan and I hated the way that show dragged things to the level of stupidity and how Yağız was able to be happy in the last 2 minutes of the show. But there is something I hate more now. Just because Sırma now knows that Yağhaz sells, she is writing similar scenes for the Zalim İstanbul couples to keep them, to get them invested in this show. How I know this? Because I myself fell into this pit with a twitter post which compares scenes and characters with Yağhaz. But just because some couple’s scenes reminds them of other scenes that doesn’t mean they are the same story! Nedim led a life as a disabled man because of Cenk and Şeniz. Cenk felt guilty and became an attention seeker self destructive bad boy I guess. And Cemre was a smart, brave and outspoken nurse. I said “was” because for the sake of the show’s “plot” and “love triangle or rectangle” Cemre became a weakling and damsel in distress and sorry but stupid🤦🏻‍♀️ after “the world’s greatest(!) psychologist” told her that Nedim HAS TO hate her to be able to walk talk and essentially heal and Cemre lied to him-which to a certain point okay I buy this plot- Nedim got better. And Cemre KNOWS she fell in love with NEDİM without even realizing it. SHE DOESN’t SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING!!! Instead she cries, apologizes to Cenk for loving Nedim and cries some more without doing anything. Okay I get that Cemre needs to stay married to Cenk for now for them to be all in the same house and I don’t know stuff🤷🏻‍♀️ but no reason is given to us viewers!!! WHY??? Why is all this happening? Why is Cemre silent to all pushing,pulling,shoving and yelling from Cenk? What is she going to fall for him after? And that is “just like(!) Yağhaz�� NO!!! A BIG F*CKIN NO! That man-Cenk is the anti Yağız Egemen!

Yağız felt guilty because he accused Hazan in the beginning because of Sinan’s lie

Cenk assaulted Cemre, kissed her without her consent, made her sing blindfolded for him without her knowing!

Yağız felt guilty because he fell in love with his brother’s -kinda- girlfriend

Cenk felt guilty because he pushed Nedim out of window as a child. Or at least did not help him an just let him fall

Yağız spent his life trying to be worthy in his father’s eyes even though he always felt he wasn’t loved as much as his other siblings (he was sent away to study and they even changed his room and made it a guest room while he was gone because he was adopted)

Cenk spent his life partying, acting out and stuff because his father didn’t appreciate him enough, his mother can be manipulative I guess and he was irritated by his disabled cousin being there because he felt guilty about him and his father loved his ophan cousin and that bothered him?

Yağız gave up his life savings (which he has because of his family’s wealth I guess but also because he actively worked his ass off in the company) and his love for to make his brother happy and also make Hazan happy because he loved them

Cenk spent family’s wealth for saving Cemre from prison that one time, I think. Constantly promised to help her save Nedim. Married her for seemingly that cause, did nothing for said cause but constantly got mad at Cemre because she was trying to save Nedim. Actually got angry and sad for his own ass when Nedim got better! Keeps Cemre as his wife even though he now KNOWS she is in love with Nedim and she is in pain and he KNOWS Nedim is in love with Cemre too. (Don’t tell me he was gonna get divorced but Cemre didn’t, she didn’t divorce again to help and be there for Nedim which CENK ALSO KNOWS NOW

Slept with Cemre’s sister. Got her pregnant. (Okay that was beforee you’ll say) then never told her about this little FACT! Pinned his child on his disabled cousin Nedim! Knowing Cemre loves Nedim he event mocked her saying that the only thing keeping her apart from Nedim is this child. Still never told her the truth. Believed the mockery of the fake DNA test results JUST BECAUSE IT WAS CONVENIANT TO HIM

Yağız worked his ass off for his family’s company AND still encouraged his brother Sinan to be involved in the business and supported him just because he genuinely wanted him to succeed.

Cenk never got involved with his family’s business and never even cared, UNTIL his cousin whom Cenk caused to spent his childhood and teenage years in a wheelchair, whom was caused to spent his life without being able to speak, use his hands because of Cenk’s mother, -Cenk also KNOWS this FACT now!- said he is interested in the business. He mocked his lack of education and continued to stop him pursue this instead of saying, oh I don’t know “Nedim we should find ways to get your education for this while you can go to company and watch people and learn for being able to work there one day my dear cousin” something like this? No? He said “you are inadequate”

Sinan got revenge on Yağız by insulting him in front of people. He showcased his true parentage (his biological mother being a woman who previosly tried to murder Yağız and Hazan) and him being lied to from his father all his life. Even before that he gave the tv and newspapers misguided info and made Yağız disgraced in public eye an his family’s eyes, Yağız actually apologized even for falling in love with Hazan, even though he did everything to stop himself and Hazan just for the sake of Sinan’s happiness and eventually, incredibly forgave Sinan.

Nedim is trying to get revenge because Şeniz and Cenk basicly ruined his life! His 17-18 years went by without even being able to talk! He was alone, banished to his room and wheelchair by them, and then Cenk got married with the woman Nedim loves (which would not be valid point against Cenk IF Cemre wanted this marriage because she was in love with him BUT SHE DOES NOT! Instead SHE LOVES NEDİM AND CENK KNOWS THIS!) and what does Cenk do? He says “this is war! I will fight with Nedim too” instead of apologizing? ( he can’t forgive him because HE IS THE ONE THAT IS GUILTY)

Yağız never NEVER mistreated Hazan for loving (or to be fair her thinking that she does) Sinan even thoug he fell for her too.

Cenk pushed, yelled, blamed Cemre for loving Nedim. CONSTANTLY. Then says some nice things to keep her from leaving but doesn’t do anything to really help her.

So... no! Even the thought of comparing Yağız to Cenk is an insult.

This is maybe waaay off topic but I needed to get it out of my chest🙈😂

I love Nedim’s character, as far as we have seen, he is a kind hearted man who was done wrong. A big kind of wrong. His whole life was wasted. And he was abused and tortured to add to that. So I WANT him to get his revenge in a sophisticated way. It seems like that’s what’s in his mind too. BUT Şeniz of course didn’t stop and killed Ceren’s baby thinking he was Nedim’s. And sorry but not sorry THAT’s not Nedim’s fault!!! How can someone say “oh maybe they may kill the baby if they think it was mine “ what kind of sane person can think that THAT was a possibility. That reasoning is beyond my understanding but even though all the things I listed above people still think that excuse of a man Cenk is “like” Yağız (shudders) again to be perfectly clear NO! HE IS NOT!

I hope Cemre and Nedim’s love story continues. And I hope Nedim can get his reckoning in a sophisticated meaningful way. I hope Cemre can shake off her “doormatness” if that is a word and became the girl who actually kidnapped Nedim to save him from that house. They promised to save each other no matter what. And they are a unique Turkish couple who was pure and innocent. They fell in love with each other talking through their eyes! They understood each other’s souls, bonded with their hearts and they are drawned to each other like the moths are drawned to flame. They have chemistry and passion WITH the purity and softness. And yes it is refreshing to see them both in a couple.

That will be a real waste and shame if they get dragged down for the sake of others😔

Even in the darkest moments -as always- their souls can touch each other.

One of my wishes came true…they sang together. (I am definitely not crying)

The guy that makes me roll my eyes all the damn time (a.k.a Cenk) made a surprise for Cemre, so he prepared the stage for her to sing. But look at how the things developed…

The guitarist guy: What are you going to say (sing) (*)?  Cemre: What comes from my heart.

(*) In Turkish there is no special verb for “to sing”. We say “şarkı (song) söylemek (to say)” So literally “saying a song = singing in Turkish.

Like a flow of thirsty waters Like a glance of helpless eyes Like a sudden knock on the door Like burning of a scorpion in fire Having given up from distances near you I asked myself a unanswerable question Having been swept with the storms I found a deserted island for my soul Without realizing, without realizing Without realizing, I became yours Without realizing, without realizing Without realizing, I became yours

I mean… Wow. 

Like how could she be more subtle than this? Seriously the girl can’t keep her love inside of her heart anymore. She is about to explode. 

She literally says he is that peaceful island for her soul and without realizing she became his. 

He once said she saved him, and in return she said he also saved her too. 

Like this isn’t beautiful enough, he silently accompanied singing.

At some point of the song both closed their eyes, together, again and remembered the old good times that there were only two of them and she was singing a song for him. 

Then you remember this scene…

Cemre: Do you know what this is? It’s a music note notebook. Not mine, it’s your nephew’s. When he gets better, perhaps we will sing together. 

I have no words.

You know at a glance that whatever they have is so pure. More than love.

i didn’t realize we were getting one more episode though, i assumed 38 was the last, so maybe these crazies can wrap everything up in a somewhat presentable way in the final final ep *crosses fingers but with little hope*

the mood for this year's eid is watching zalim istanbul

[mitchi295]

تعرف على ابطال المسلسل عشق 101 و الذي بدأ بثه البارحة فقط 🥰 ستنصدم من أصول بعض الممثلين ( أصل عربي )

[mytalemyworld]

CenCem occasionally make the ship list on Sociak media, so the fans definitely have a bigger social media presence, especially on Twitter. But I’m not sure if it’s a international thing or not. Like some shows just dominate the social media lists because of international fans. Like Yasak Elma barely gets on the list and I haven’t seen a ship make the list this season but it still does well ratings wise.

It depends on how many crazy fans there are. *lol* When the show first started NedCem shippers were more, but after having seen that the writer would try a stupid love triangle and also never ending abuse, torture towards Nedim, those shippers stopped watching. I know, because I am one of them. The ratings are also proof for this. It constantly dropped because of poor writing. 

People always compare Zalim İstanbul with Fazilet Hanım ve Kızları, but they are missing something. Zİ is darker and more melodramatic than FHVK. In Zİ, there are so many bad characters and they are simply evil. Also the stupidity of some characters makes no sense and after a while this becomes more and more frustrating. As for FHVK, there was only one pure evil and it’s Selin. So, these darker elements make the show hard to watch, imo. (especially if you’re watching only for Nedim) It’s no wonder that one fan group is stronger, because simply the other fan group is no longer active on social media. *lol* 

I don’t also look at twitter anymore, because there are many uncomfortable tweets going around. For example, I saw a couple of times some tweets saying that Ceren and Nedim will be a very good couple. Like, really? The girl who constantly tortured a disabled man only deserves to be in the jail. This is madness.
