#while mahidevran is like where tf is my mans

Don't be biased. The Turkish version is also very successful. Many House M.D. viewers loved this version. I recommend that you comment after watching. Especially Turkish Huddy aka AtPek is very good

Listen, i guess my post wasn't very clear but for one, i fucking LOVE Turkish TV and I'm certain Hekimoğlu is very, very good. It's just I was searching to see the ages of the actors in Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem (Tsilimpiou being 17 and Koç 20-something, which... Kinda yikes tbh but i digress).

I was mostly just surprised that a whole series was made instead of the usual use of subtitles, it just popped outta nowhere basically, and seeing a poster mimicking a House MD póster was kinda sorta jarring. I'm afraid i won't be able to give the show a try though, since if it follows in the footsteps of other Turkish dramas, it'd take me years to finish just three epidodes.

Also, as much as I'd love to watch it, if the subtitles are like those on Muhteşem Yüzyıl full episodes on YouTube, I'd rather not watch it, since they prevent enjoyment from the content 😔

Also i don't think that calling any couple's relationship Huddy is a compliment even if it's because the couple is their counterparts simply because it was missing more chemistry than the chemistry final i submitted where i forgot to answer half of the requirement.

To summarize: i was just surprised there's wjat essentially looks like a copy of House MD in Turkish while searching something basically unrelated, big fan of subtitles that actually match what's said and don't misplace pronouns, and not the biggest fan of remakes, love Turkish productions and shows, can't watch them because dramas have too-long episodes.

Opinion on Mahidevran and Mustafa in the show?

man in retrospect i think they were both done pretty dirty by the show, mahidevran was made, imo, too unlikable and mustafa too, desperately, likable

i kind of will never understand why the screenwriters threw that final blow at her after mustafa's execution, when HURREM of all people sat there bawling over the guy she schemed to kill while mahidevran did the same will a big ol smile on her face and was wishing more death upon hurrem's children till the very last second. i kinda dont think that this is a woman who'd receive financial support from selim when he ascended the throne, unless the show was trying to tell us something with this behaviour just why double down on the trash. back in the day there'd be heated debates, the usual hurrem v mahidevran pvp, but nowadays im only shaking my head at the production team, mahidevran being spiteful 24/7 rests entirely on your conscience mates, it's over a decade since the show came out and i just want justice for this woman. too tiring really, watching her go like that without a break, even hurrem got hers frequently tf

mustafa my god. unarguably the biggest victim of the writing. at some point the showrunners realised they're mustafa kinnies and the rest is a massacre, how do you figuratively project a halo on a character like that is beyond me. once again im way past the point of discussing this as a some sort of character analysis, mustafa was gradually becoming extremely annoying to me and that's entirely the script's fault. never met a daddy's favorite that was THAT obviously loved to the point that he'd get angel wings attached to him, and i think what was the main annoying point of that wasn't because a character is not allowed to be good, but because it was just so predictable. by s4 you could read where each plotline went 3 episodes ahead of its conclusion, and while you could also guess how each character would emerge from it, there was still little intrigue to it. maybe they'd do something controversial and that would be discussed at the latest 500 comment long scandal, maybe they'd so something surprisingly good. but how mustafa would crawl out of a plotline was always, always known, and it really annoyed me because the diversity was none and he was destined to glow white anytime while every other character was made to stain themselves as his plot armor protectors. i couldnt wait for him to die, big happy moment for me, and even that was a drag for like 5 episodes. the show then had how many episodes left after that? ten? bruh? literally deflated the entire narrative that still had a whole decade to go and 100 characters to focus on because mustafa kicked the bucket. the second the show decided it's "the magnificent mustafa" it never recovered and pulled everything down with it, so to me his character really IS the single biggest tragedy of the entire series. also the moment they looked at how his facial hair peaked around idk like 10? ish episodes into his adult self and then forced it to grow further for that goat style look :/ make my man look good at least if you want me to swallow your bs damn

so tldr both annoyed me but nowadays i only target my blame towards the production team while shielding the actual characters with my sexy body
