İlişki Durumu: Karışık ("Relationship Status: Mixed") is the Turkish remake of the 2004 South Korean drama Full House, a romantic comedy from MF Yapım. Created by Banu Kiremitçi Bozkurt, it started on Show TV on July 4, 2015 and wrapped up its single season with episode 40 on April 27, 2016. The series follows a love game in which romance, jealousy and pride tangle with friendship and misunderstandings, all told with humor.

Seren Şirince and Berk Oktay play the leads, with Eda Ece, Pamir Pekin and Nurseli İdiz also in the main cast; Aybike Esin Tumluer and Füsun Erbulak are among the other actors credited.

The show traveled abroad too. An Arabic-dubbed version aired on MBC4 in July 2017 across 114 episodes, and a Romanian-dubbed run, re-edited to 105 episodes, was shown on Acasă TV and Acasă in Moldova between September 5 and November 16, 2016. A four-episode follow-up, İlişki Durumu: Evli, ran on Show TV from October 1 to 22, 2016 and did not draw the audience that had been hoped for.

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

Knowing it adapts Full House, you spot the formula straight away: two stubborn leads, jealousy, pride and an endless supply of misunderstandings. The real spice is the chemistry between Seren Şirince and Berk Oktay; when they share a scene the sparring is a genuine pleasure, and Eda Ece and Pamir Pekin bring life to the supporting cast. Forty episodes in one season is a long road for a romantic comedy, though, and in the middle you can feel you are watching slightly different versions of the same mix-up. Because the story wraps up within that single season it never feels cut short, so you can start without waiting on a second one.

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

As a romantic comedy, this is a series you can put on at home without much worry. It is about love, jealousy and misunderstandings, offering light fun rather than heavy themes. The sparring is played for laughs, so both grandparents and teenagers may smile. Young children may not get much from the romantic games; it suits teens and adults best. Keep in mind it runs to forty episodes, so it will fill quite a few evenings.

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

İlişki Durumu: Karışık is a neat example of an era in which series travel without borders. Full House, made in South Korea in 2004, becomes a home-grown Turkish romantic comedy, and that adaptation then finds new audiences dubbed into Arabic on MBC4 and, in a re-edited version, dubbed into Romanian in Romania and Moldova. What a story keeps and what it changes as it passes through several cultures is an interesting question in itself, and universal feelings such as love, pride and jealousy make that journey easier. Its view of young relationships leans mostly on genre conventions; anyone looking for an original observation about Turkish society will find light entertainment here rather than depth.
