Kanal D aired Kavak Yelleri (literally "Poplar Winds"), a Turkish youth drama, from May 31, 2007, to August 30, 2011. It was made by Tims&B Productions under creator Timur Savcı, with Sony Pictures Television International. It was conceived as a Turkish take on the American series Dawson's Creek, though the script is said to have been changed later on. The show ran for five seasons and 170 episodes,, ending with the episode "Ve Dünya Bizi Yakınlaştırmak İçin Döndü".

The story follows a group of teenagers growing up around the same school and neighborhood, tracing their friendships, first loves and family conflicts alongside their parents' stories. Pelin Karahan, İbrahim Kendirci, Aslı Enver and Sarp Apak lead the cast, with Ceren Moray, Cemil Büyükdöğerli, Ferit Aktuğ, Lale Mansur and Dağhan Külegeç in support. Enver plays Mine Seven.

It was filmed in Urla, Seferihisar and various districts of Istanbul. Jale İncekol, Kerem Çakıroğlu and A. Taner Elhan directed, with Elhan on the first four seasons. The theme song is "Hele Bi Gel" by Pinhani, whose songs for the series are counted among Turkish soundtrack classics. An Arabic dub in the Syrian dialect, titled "Sanawat al-Safsaf", was shown on the Al Rai channel from March 2010.

Through different eyes

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.

One hundred and seventy episodes, five seasons: watching a group of teenagers grow up around the same school and neighborhood builds a bond with the characters over the years. Pelin Karahan, İbrahim Kendirci, Aslı Enver and Sarp Apak lead, and Aslı Enver's Mine Seven is especially memorable. Telling the parents' stories alongside the teenagers' widens the show. The weak side: the triangle of friendship, first love and family conflict can slip into repetition in a long-running series. The mood set by Pinhani's Hele Bi Gel is spot on.

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

School, friendship, first love and family problems: a series you can watch together with teenagers. Because the parents' stories are told too, the grown-ups find something of their own. The subject does not suggest harsh content, and there is humor as well. It may be a bit early for small children, but it can create a shared evening with those in their teens. At 170 episodes it is long, so watching season by season is the easiest way.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

The subject is not chases and fights but teenagers dealing with school, first love and family trouble. For anyone after action and tension it will feel slow and talky; expecting a thrill in every scene would be a mistake. At 170 episodes, that length is too much for someone who wants set-piece excitement. It is the wrong door for anyone chasing pace.
