Love Again (Aşk Yeniden) (translated)

TV Series · 2015–2016 · 20 people

Süreç Film produced Aşk Yeniden (Love Again), a Turkish romantic comedy that ran for two seasons and 59 episodes on Fox Turkey, from its premiere on February 10, 2015, to its finale on June 14, 2016. The show is built on an unlikely deal struck between two people on a flight. Its first episode took first place in the ratings, and it stayed there for five episodes in a row.

The story centers on Zeynep and Fatih, who meet on the same plane to Istanbul and agree to a pretend marriage. Fatih's family wants him to marry Irem, and he asks Zeynep to play his wife so he can keep his freedom. Zeynep needs time to explain the situation of her baby to her own family at the right moment, so she accepts. Özge Özpirinçci plays Zeynep and Buğra Gülsoy plays Fatih, with Can Sipahi, Tunca Aydoğan and Esin Gündoğdu also in the cast.

The series found audiences abroad as well.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

The fake-marriage formula has been done to death in Turkish TV, but Aşk Yeniden knows how to keep it light. The deal Zeynep and Fatih strike on a plane hooks you from the first episode, and the chemistry between Özge Özpirinçci and Buğra Gülsoy is what really powers the show. Over two seasons and 59 episodes the pile-up of lies sometimes turns repetitive, and the jokes about family pressure wear a little thin heading into season two. Still, the way the two warm to each other is built patiently, which makes the saggy stretches forgivable. A pleasant binge if you like your romcoms light and warm.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

A show the whole household can watch together after dinner. It leans on comedy, and even the family arguments are played for laughs. The story does rest on a lie, though: a pretend marriage and the truth about her baby that Zeynep hasn't yet told her family. With younger children it's worth talking that through a little. Teens, parents and grandparents can simply enjoy it.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Aşk Yeniden brings one of romantic comedy's best-worn devices, the fake marriage, to the screen and barely tests its limits. The set-up is quick and efficient: a deal made on a plane, two families' expectations and a lie that keeps growing. Özge Özpirinçci's comic timing is good, and Buğra Gülsoy pitches the lightness of his part well. The problem is a structure inflated to fill a long broadcast season; the same misunderstanding machine gets rebuilt again and again, and scenes run longer than they need to. The visual language never goes beyond functional. Topping the ratings with its first episode is no surprise: the formula works, but it never stops being a formula.
