Shown on atv, the romantic drama Bitmeyen Şarkı ("Endless Song") was made by Gold Film. Its first episode aired on August 23, 2010, and after a single season it ended on April 26, 2011, with episode 32. It started as a summer show, and the two things most often praised were the chemistry of its leads and the lovely singing voice of Bergüzar Korel.

The heroine is Feraye, played by Bergüzar Korel, a young woman scarred by a traumatic childhood who became a mother at fifteen. When her stepfather hands her baby to a wealthy family, she runs away, finds shelter in a nightclub and begins performing there as a singer. She never stops searching for her lost child. One day she leaps from a yacht to get away from a predatory man, and is pulled out of the water by Yaman, a rich man from a traditional small-town family. Bülent İnal plays Yaman. A strong attraction grows between them, and he proposes.

Obstacles follow. Yaman learns that Feraye sings in a nightclub, his family is cool toward the marriage, and the club owner schemes to keep his profitable star. Jealousy, deceit and revenge, along with the shadow of a dark past, follow the newlyweds into their new life.

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

Bitmeyen Şarkı, which started in the summer season and wrapped up in a single 32-episode season, is a chemistry show through and through. The pull between Bergüzar Korel and Bülent İnal is the story's strongest engine, and the voice Korel lends her singer Feraye gives the series its own identity. A mother searching for her lost child gives the season a solid backbone. Yet jealousy, family obstacles and the club owner's schemes gradually settle into a familiar melodrama loop, and at times the show seems to repeat itself. It wraps up neatly in one season; if emotional intensity and the Korel-İnal pull are enough for you, you will put up with the repetition.

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

Bitmeyen Şarkı deals with heavy subjects such as childhood trauma, a girl who becomes a mother at fifteen, harassment, the nightclub world and infidelity. So this is one for the children to skip. For adults, though, it's a strong mother's story; the determination of a woman who searches for her lost child for years is moving. The older members of the household may also enjoy Bergüzar Korel's songs.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

A woman singing in a nightclub while searching for the child she lost, and the wealthy man from a traditional provincial family who pulls her from the water: Bitmeyen Şarkı feels like a story carried to television straight from Yeşilçam's singer melodramas. Bergüzar Korel's lovely voice puts the song, that old genre's essential ingredient, back at the heart of the story. But where the old films told such sorrows in a single film of concentrated feeling, here a narrative spread over thirty-two episodes sometimes waters the emotion down. Anyone whose heart remains with the old songs will find a place in this story centered on a mother's heart.
