Don't Worry About Me (Benim İçin Üzülme) (translated)

TV Series · 2012–2014 · 23 people

Boyut Film's drama series Benim İçin Üzülme (Do Not Worry for Me) began on atv on November 6, 2012. The idea came from singer and director Mahsun Kırmızıgül, and Serkan Birinci directed. It ran for two seasons, moving to Show TV for the second, and ended with its 55th episode on April 29, 2014. It was also shown in Serbia on Pink television in 2014.

The story centers on two deep-rooted families of the Black Sea. Niyazi and Harun, who are blood brothers, both fall for Buke, a young woman from the east who arrives with her father as a seasonal worker, and their love drags both families into lasting pain and an irreversible conflict. Fulya Zenginer plays Buke and Tansel Öngel plays Niyazi, with Çağlar Ertuğrul, Öykü Çelik, Rana Cabbar, Beyazıt Gülercan and Ünal Silver in the cast. Side stories run alongside: Sinan, a son of the Avcıoğlu family returning home after years away, meets Bahar, the young wife of mining magnate Şahin Yılmaz, while Birgül defies her grandfather's pressure and wants to study ballet in Batumi.

Filming took place in Artvin's Hopa district, in Rize and Trabzon, in Kars and in Batumi, Georgia, which let the show stage its Black Sea and eastern scenes on real locations.

AI-assisted editorial takes written from different viewer perspectives. They are not reader reviews; those are below.

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

Two deep-rooted Black Sea families, two blood brothers and Buke, the woman they both fall for: a classic love triangle that pulls you right in. The on-screen bond between Fulya Zenginer and Tansel Öngel carries the show. Side stories such as Sinan and Bahar's, or Birgül wanting to study ballet in Batumi, add color, but now and then they crowd out the main conflict and slow it down. Two seasons and 55 episodes is a long ride, sagging stretches included. The real locations from Hopa to Batumi give every episode a texture of its own; a viewer who counts the Black Sea scenery as a partner in the story can forgive the sags.

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

A series about love, family feuds and hurt feelings. The story is heavy; the conflict between the two families runs deep and painful. It may be too dramatic for young children. Teenagers and grown-ups can watch it together. The real Black Sea and eastern scenery is lovely and lifts your spirits. Birgül, who wants to study ballet despite her grandfather's pressure, is a nice example of determination for young viewers.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

The most interesting thing about the series is how it sets deep-rooted Black Sea families against a young woman who arrives from the east with her father as a seasonal worker. The love for Buke brings not only two blood brothers but also class and regional divides onto the stage. Side characters such as Bahar, the young wife of mining magnate Şahin Yılmaz, and Birgül, who wants to study ballet in Batumi despite her grandfather's pressure, invite reflection on family authority and a woman's right to choose her own path. Filming in Hopa, Rize, Trabzon, Kars and Batumi makes the regional texture convincing. The hardships of seasonal work, though, deserved more attention.
